An Amazing Build-Up Ruined by a Frustrating Ending
I went into Part 2 already knowing that the ending was bad, but because Part 1 was so strong, I still had high expectations.
At first, the drama continued well. Since Part 2 only has four episodes, it started with solid pacing and quickly pulled me back in. However, one thing that immediately felt jarring was the transition from Part 1 to Part 2. The story suddenly jumps forward by about a month with barely any explanation, and the characters’ circumstances have drastically changed. Instead of showing what happened during that period, the drama simply throws viewers into the new situation without proper context, making the transition feel abrupt and confusing.
There were also several characters who seemed important in Part 1 but were never addressed again in Part 2, which made the continuation feel incomplete and poorly planned.
Episode 2 frustrated me because of a poorly handled burden-type character whose development felt more irritating than meaningful. Thankfully, Episode 3 picked things back up, and by Episode 4 I finally understood why so many people had become attached to this drama. The chemistry among the cast felt stronger than ever, and the bond between the characters genuinely felt deep and heartfelt.
Then the final 30 minutes happened.
And everything completely fell apart.
I knew the ending beforehand, but even with spoilers, I was still left speechless by how absurdly bad it was. Instead of crying, I literally laughed out loud because the entire thing felt so unnecessary, ridiculous, and bizarre that I could not take it seriously.
It genuinely made me question what the writers and director were thinking when they came up with that ending.
How do you spend an entire series building tension, relationships, and emotional investment—only to throw it all away in the final 30 minutes?
And that is exactly why it disappointed me so much—because I actually really liked this drama. I cared about it enough to feel genuinely frustrated by how it ended. Despite everything, I still gave it an 8/10 because overall, I truly enjoyed most of it.
That is what makes the ending even more heartbreaking: not because the drama was bad, but because it had the potential to be so much better.
It is such a waste because the CGI, production, pacing, and overall setup were all so strong—only for the drama to ruin itself at the finish line.
