To be fair, I think the creators did try their best. IMHO, I think they tied all loose ends. The brother’s rift was resolved with LSY realizing that SIW had always cared for him, his once cold demeanor was just a way to push LSY away & keep him out of danger.
We also got to understand why SIW was the way he was with his father. He was one emotionally scarred man.
As for the managers who apparently are married, hints of their past were given early in the drama. I think the number of episodes were cut short than previously planned, so that part was quite left out.
I personally did quite understand why LSY was adamant with taking off the wearables, he didn’t want to go thru the same he did for 11 years of his life. Tho logically, to live “normally” & die anytime soon will never be worth it.
It really would’ve been better if he accepted his condition & realized he can still live happily with HYR by his side despite his physical disability.
That is what this drama lacked the most IMO, character growth.
IMO, HYR accepted LSY’s disability, she did encourage him to take off his wearables a few times & offered to be his arm & leg. It was romantic yes.
What disappointed me the most with the final episodes is HYR’s lacked of growth. How she can’t for the life of her give him the “cure,” knowing it’s the only way to save him, her being lost not knowing what to do, among many other stuff she said really was void of rationale. Even the scene when she kept on saying Soo Yeon’s name over & over again, and completely lost on what she should do (w/ their friends all around them to help!) was ANNOYING af hehe.
As for the LJH’s face not being shown at the very end, I think they just wanted to perhaps make the ending different than usual. It was also more fitting I believe to come in sort of full circle, coz the very 1st scene was HYR alone too.
One last thing, the father-daughter relationship should have been treated & shown better too. It was a very important element in the drama after all coz the very first scenes was w/ young HYR & her dad. It was not even explained why they did not see each other for many years after the divorce, it wasn’t like any of them lived overseas. We did not even find out what he died of!
I rooted for this drama from the very beginning & hoped for its success, but the ending really was a let down IMO, for different reasons.
For one, it focused too much on over romanticism, neglecting realism & character GROWTH. Poor emotional, psychological quotients, Yeo Reum lacked IQ too (smh). I mean, she’s been told that stopping the wearables is the ONLY way for LSY to survive, him resigning was a big shock for her, then offered to be his arm & leg at work? Does any of that make sense? It’s not like they can’t see each other beyond the workplace. They are neigbors for Christ’s sake.
Even young joo & oh dae’s relationship was quite absurd at this modern time, it was a year of suppressed emotions, awkwardness, despite already knowing they do like each other?
The sci-fi main idea/concept was brilliant IMO, how they used it, played with it is the thing that’s flawed. They could have made better use of it. What a waste.
In reality, if it were indeed possible, the device is a MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGH. It may have been imperfect, but that is normal I suppose. It only has to be studied more and perfected.
A device that could have helped countless other physically disabled.
They could have even stretched out the idea further with more imagination & creativity.
I said it below... "What I most regretted about this drama is that that appointment where LSY was waiting for…
I completely agree... they made romance (to the point of over romanticism), the focal point of the story. Neglecting the emotional quotient of the characters, true relatability and realism.
To be completely honest, I don’t get those who like the 2nd couple, EVEN the 3rd older pair, and not like the leads at all. It doesn’t make sense. How did you endure watching the whole series lol, when it was 1st & foremost about the main leads. The main pair may have been imperfect, but they definitely were endearing characters. I do not see sensible reasons to hate them.
TBH, I started & finished this drama only because of CSB. I’m a fan. Her character here turned out to be so similar with her on The Rebel. Soo-bin, PLEASE don’t let yourself be typecast on such a role, completely lovestruck with an older man, almost foolishly sentimental.
I was at a point of anger. Her dialogues on the last 2 episodes were cringey for me. How can the writer make Yeo Reum that much stupid? Her sentiments re Seo Yoon, did not make sense. Well, the sci-fi aspect of this drama for the most part is problematic to begin with. It’s perfectly alright to show vulnerability, but too much of it when unnecessary, non-sensical translates to weakness & foolishness.
I’ve seen her more natural, believable acting. Her romantic moments on the last 2 episodes felt forced, maybe because she herself did not genuinely feel romantic lol. Bad storyline, bad dialogues, too much petty sentimentality.
As a fan of CSB who knows her acting capability & versatility even at a younger age, seeing her too weak & dumb on this drama was painful to watch.
It also saddened me how they made her treat Go Eun Seub. Rejected him, dismissed him far too many times, felt callous, unsensitive. Sigh.
This drama deserves more love & support. Though I understand the criticisms particularly the constructive & objective ones. I can see for myself the flaws, but it has its own unique strengths.
I’ve loved Chae Soo Bin from her past works, tho still relatively new, she is stellar (unashamed fan here). I love Lee Je Hoon & his works too.
The two have fantastic chemistry on screen, their connection feels genuine & deep. I’m excited to witness how their relationship will grow.
Excited too with Yeo Reum & Young Joo’s foreseeable friendship!
I just hope the creators have solid, ingenious ideas to support all the mysteries that will make them “believale” in the end.
I have nothing but best wishes for this drama & everyone involved in it!
