i genuinely have mixed feelings on this drama. it was a good show, im not going to lie however, as the story went on, the execution just kept frustrating me lol. 운정 was probably the most interesting character by far. not because he’s just played by 차은우, but rather because of how much fun the writers decided to apparently have with his character. i understood why he betrayed 채니. he wanted to find his mother, learn about his past, and most importantly, survive. he was dying too, and i don’t think his decision makes him a bad person. however, one of my biggest irks was the constant disregard for physical urgency in his side effects. 운정 could constantly go into a million different fights with his powers, get a crazy bloody nose and faint, but face no lasting consequences from those side effects. if the side effects were supposed to be killing him, i needed the show to establish some consistency here lol. they didn’t feel as progressive and severe as the other wunderkinder. it almost just felt like the side effects were a convenience whenever the writers knew they needed someone dead, like 팔호 or 주란. another irk was the motivations of 하원도. i understood the original idea of him wanting to save the children he’d experimented on, but by the end, i felt his motives had shifted without much development. was he trying to save his children, or was everything ultimately about obtaining immortality for a “new world” and recreating the child of eternity? i never understood it. why give a very emotional background that backs up the first impression and completely disregard it towards the end to get a bigger “climax”? i can accept an antagonist with selfish, contradictory motives, but i need the writing to connect those motives properly. i’m also glad he died, for that small moment if you know what i mean
