The fact that nobody thought that maybe the sculpture had been sabotaged? I kept waiting for a scene where someone would show Na Bi the security camera footage.
I think this series blew it by giving happy and conclusive endings only to the side couples. The main characters are all left in limbo! Very stupid.
I'm pretty sure the very last scene with Lukmo and Simai's reunion was set two years later. It felt rather pointless, though, because we still don't know if Simai was finally told that he and Lukmo aren't truly blood-related and could be bangin' like crazy if they wanted to.
I'm guessing that the scene at the cafe with Phob, Eak, and Namo was added by using earlier footage. I wouldn't be surprised if the original script gave us a relationship between Phob and Eak, but with Aof/Phob unable to shoot new scenes they probably decided to plug in that other scene and went with the idea that even after Eak's constant phone calls to Phob telling him how much he wants to be with him, he would suddenly decide that they should remain friends for now.
What a mess.
Anyway, speaking of mess, the only part of the finale I can't comment on is Both and Newyear's. Those guys creep me out, so I've been skipping their scenes ever since the sloppy tongue-kiss in the party episode. Yuck.
Gets better and better. Not a dull moment to be had! After today's series finales it's reassuring to see that Frigay has this bright light to keep leading us into the weekends. I'm glad I watched this last.
The comfort level that Ja and First had with each other in TT2 has continued into this series. That opening scene sizzled! And to go from that to Leo holding Fiat as he cried -- these two really make the relationship believable and heartfelt.
I love the twins and I really like Anda too. Anda is the female friend that every gay guy needs, with her own style and lots of quiet confidence. I hope we'll see more of her.
Finally a great ending to a BL. The start of the episode to the end was really great. No leaving us hanging till…
When the episode started like that -- resolving the love triangle within the first few seconds -- I thought that these people really understand their audience and knew how we'd be feeling by that point.
I wish more series would resolve early enough to serve up such big helpings of fluff before saying goodbye.
This series is a prime example of what a solid, conclusive happy ending can mean to BL fans. By avoiding an open ending for the main characters and leaving the possibility of sequels for the supporting characters, they even lock in the potential for a franchise.
And now hundreds of us will be recommending this series to friends and family, and rewatching it ourselves. That will be noticed in the industry. Future Kdrama BLs will have something to live up to because LOM is going to become the series they'll be compared to.
I fall off from my bed when they kissed. I was screaming like this is the end of the world and i got what i wanted…
Not just one but two kisses ... and it came across as their first kiss, or maybe they were just aware that their friends were standing nearby. But it was like the series wanted to leave us with something truly memorable after putting us through the wringer. :)
Kudos to the screenwriter for creating a love triangle that was the hardest to predict of any I've seen. And for giving us with a finale of fluff from start to finish! The choice was made within the first few seconds and we even got a couple of kisses. I feel rewarded and grateful.
I will enjoy rewatching this, and who knows, maybe somebody on here with mad internet skillz could organize a weekend marathon watch party someday so we can all do that together.
If this list was based on talent instead of popularity some of these guys would be out and others would go right to the top (*cough cough* Singto *cough cough*)!
If Da On ends up with TK then I don't expect a Season Two. The series is about TK's first love. If Shinwoo doesn't prevail then Da On is the first love and that's that.
And do we really want to wait months only to have expectations crushed again? Because every Season Two is about a couple breaking up then getting back together again. If Season One of this series ends badly then I'm done with it, period.
As the series reaches its final episode your article should be required reading for the Jae Eon apologists and romanticizers on the drama's MDL page. For me at this point whenever he appears on screen I shrink back as though the campus vampire has just showed up at the blood bank.
Will the series stay true to Jae Eon's amoral nature, or will it attempt to convince us of the ultimate cliche, that a person so selfish and uncaring would suddenly be transformed by love?
This could have been a great and groundbreaking drama. Instead it's another insipid fantasy built around toxic people pretending to be in love.
So disappointing.

I guess it's hard to keep track when you're busy leaving hater comments in every comment section lol.

It's always a fun debate though!
Thank you... that is all. :)
Did they think we'd be touched by Shiwoon giving her flowers? The feeling was more like seeing that she'd gotten away with murder.

If the way this ends is with Shinwoo all alone while that wicked creature So Hee gets rewarded with Shiwoon then this series is truly messed up.
