Disregarding disabilities

I'm way too late to the party, but I still have my 5 cents. I couldn't finish the drama in over a year, but I wanted to see if it's actually worth anything.
🔸The main comparison for Lovely Runner when it was airing was Twinkling Watermelon. But this comparison is absolutely not sustainable. If Twinkling Watermelon actually educated the common viewer about disabilities and accessibility issues, this drama is no more than a joke, and it's infuriating to me. Instead of installing elevators or acessible amenities in the office where wheelchair user Im Sol applied for a job, she just had to grow herself some new legs with magic instead of inconveniencing herself and others.

The drama started as something that had pretentions in that direction but it ended as the most cliche cartoonish production. I am genuinely grossed out. Even of we aren't talking about disabilities, there is nothing of value in this drama, it's extremely repetitive and predictable, and I could only finish it on x2 speed.
