1.) The whole appearance of whales is supposed to be a visual manifestation for viewers to show Woo Young Woo's passion for everything whales and her hyper-fixation on them in general.
2.) Her romantic interest/boyfriend Jun Ho's age is suggested numerous times as to be the same as Woo Young Woo's age, whose age is confirmed 26. Many of the characters developed throughout the series from Woo Young Woo herself to Jun Ho to Myung Seok to Min Woo all throughout the heart of the show, not just the final episode.
3.) I have no clue what you are on about with the family pet and aunt thing but the whole purpose of the revelation of who her brother is was supposed to be the reveal of who the Raon company hacker was.
4.) It's reference numerous times that Woo Young Woo's mother, Tae Soo Mi also possesses autism with her academic prowess, law knowledge, and also the scene when Woo Young Woo and Tae Soo Mi are shopping at the same store when they both fix the clothing displays at the same time. It's glaring that the mother has some level of autism as well, don't know how you missed that.
I think you missed quite abit of the drama with your "doze off multiple times during viewing" moments and perhaps a re-watch filled with a more discerning exploration of the drama with depth and substance is warranted.
This is the best review of this show that I've read. You hit all the points perfectly about why people were disappointed…
It's such a shame that the character's got changed because I really loved the two main character's unique personalities and also the special connection they both had together.
The major problem with the ending though is, a show should not require its viewer to go back and re-watch to understand its ending and pick out its hidden meanings here and there to understand what actually happened. Also the drama itself and its story in not any shape or form required it to have an open ended ending.
