The worst enemy for this drama was the hype, and the thousands of crazy theories, it's true that the ending was kinda rushed and there are some events in the drama that they could have handled differently, but the dama is still pretty good, Yoon Ah acting was just perfect, the villain was a really bad one, the male lead was on point, and the rest of the cast done a good job.
Not all unanswered stuff are plot holes, this drama isn't a fluffy comedy, it's more about unfairness, so unsolved deaths, and unpunished criminals are on tone with the story. Yes, it's more fun to watch criminals pay for what they have done, but in the BM world, rich people always get away. For example, think about No Park as BM or Chairman Kang, they were pretty bad guys and never paid off for what they had done.
The cast, the acting, the setting of the story, and the general plot were good enough.
PD. It's funny to read comments saying that Vincenzo or flower or evil had better finals. When those dramas ended people reacted the same way, saying that their endings were plain bad, now they are seen in a different light. When the time pass, people are gonna put BM as one of those must-watch kdramas, they will say that this ending is better than others, and the cycle is gonna start again.
I loved it, there were tears in my eyes too! Now there's talk of a movie I'm worried again, I'd have preferred…
If they make a movie or a new season that's gonna happen (getting expelled), maybe in a different way, but feels like that since we never seen him get into school. For example the next week special is supposed to be after the end, and he is still with the blonde hair, and that's suspicious.
When I read the manga, I thought it was one of those good stories that would never get into an anime. But here we are. The first episode was good. The production, cast, and ost are good. The story is similar to the manga, I wonder how much they will adapt in 10 eps, but it promises a lot.
Actually ocn sometimes order seconds seasons or more for they dramas, but maybe this one in particular was written…
It may be a bit due to the influence of Netflix, but not entirely, in Korea TV is still very important, in my personal opinion they are doing it because of the ratings, OCN dramas rarely have those numbers, the rating is usually between 0.7 and 4 %. Also, as I mentioned before OCN is known for doing 2nd parts of dramas with ratings of just 4%, and many times without even having Netflix in between.
Let's be more positive Netflix originals like extracurricular and Kingdom are pretty good, on the other hand, most kdramas never fill the 16 chapters. So let's keep the hope that Netflix isn't going to ruin drama land, and is just a coincidence, a bad one.
And of course, they are lengthening the story, and this one in particular maybe was written as a solid one season, so yeah they are messing up things, another possibility can be the webtoon story is like this and they choose to follow it now. The only victim is the writer, they ruined her work, at least if the drama goes on a downhill she isn't going to be responsible for that. But who knows, maybe season 2 can be even better if they find the right writer.
