rushed finale !

The last episode was a complete disappointment. I watched the last episodes for 10 minutes a day because they were on repeat. I finally finished watching the last episodes. Character developments and emotional conflicts that were handled with great care throughout the series were virtually thrown away in the final episodes and episodes. I think the story was rushed and the writer said: "Let's just finish it and get out of this." I think the side characters have also been officially forgotten. Their stories were half-baked, left unfinished, as if they had never existed. The last episodes and the final episode could not achieve the quality of the previous episodes. The dialogues did not reach the quality of the previous episodes. This became a cliché and the transitions between scenes started to feel artificial. I think even the moments that can create an emotional connection cannot be managed correctly. Finally, let's come to Benajmin and Doctor Pei. They were seen as mere vehicles to carry the story. I wish they had more productive, love-filled scenes like Zen and Ran. It's a shame they aren't allowed to develop as individuals. However, a strong series should invest in supporting characters at least as much as the main characters.
