They Built It Up For WHAT
The premise genuinely hooked me. A man whose life was destroyed enters the entertainment industry with one goal —> Revenge. The world it builds behind the cameras is grimy and real, full of manipulation, power games and people using each other to survive. Watching Sun navigate all of that while carrying years of anger was actually compelling television.
And then the ending happened and I felt personally wronged.
The show spent episode after episode establishing how powerful and untouchable the main opponent was. The tension was building. The stakes felt real. And then the resolution arrived and took approximately fifteen minutes. They pulled out some copyright and song rights issue, a board member casually revealed Arthur's true identity, the company was returned, and the big terrifying villain who had been looming over everything died of a heart attack. No fight. No struggle. No satisfying takedown. A heart attack.
I don't think anyone fully understood how it was resolved and I genuinely believe the writers were counting on that.
And just to make sure nobody complained they threw in a kiss at the end. Cute. Did not fix anything.
Also Jay repeatedly forcing himself on Sun is not a character flaw I am willing to overlook just because the man is attractive. Face cards cannot save the bad you do.
