It had a huge potential but the end was rushed

Honestly I really liked the series's diversity. P'Nuchy is one of the very few directors who make original projects and don't copy what's already been here just with different cast and characters. I loved that the series brought awareness about AI and it's bad impact on the global environment and also how artist can hardly survive on selling their paintings no matter how talented they are because less and less people are willing to spend more money on such paintings and with AI it's killing this business completely. The acting was phenomenal here. I had no problem with that. The story was going well too but I was still disappointed at the end. I know gmmtv series hardly do sad/open endings at the end but since the story was rushed between Koh and Jira and such serious conflict wasn't properly resolved between them, it'd be far better if they just left it open. That time skip is kinda useless when we don't see how the characters put up with it and if they changed something about themselves during that time. They usually use time skips to make sense of the characters getting together at the end after break-up like in Last Twilight or ATOTS for example but it feels like something's missing there.
I also hoped that Jira wouldn't be spineless when it came to his art. He kept defending it the whole time and it mattered more to him than his own body so seeing him selling his art to Koh at the end after Koh betrayed him by giving it to AI made me lose the remaining respect I had for him. I get he sold his AI which was actually developed by the employees whom he fired but he was still cocky about it even after he saw how much it hurt Jira as an artist... if Jira stood by his harsh words and didn't go back on it after some time passed, I'd have more respect for him.
