Exactly! I feel the same. It felt like a waste of time but after thinking about it, I did enjoy parts of it, so I can't hate it. But I DO hate that ending! So many plot holes!

Yeeeeah I really don't know ehat rhey were teying to do there...

Right? It really doesn't make sense...

Agree 100%. I wasn't minding the ending when it was showing everyone moving on. I was still mad about earlier bad writing, it was pretty satisfying. And then...

Oh yeah I definitely didn't notice that time jump there. It still doesn't make sense, though, you're right. I even remember the Gatekeeper talking to Rang about his punishment after death earlier on in the drama so him not only reincarnating like immediately but as a human just doesn't add up. And the worst part is, his sacrifice didn't really save anyone. Like yes, it saved Yeon, but Yeon died knowing what he was getting into and accepting that. It would have been different if he died instead of Yeon during the fight because he would have done so while saving the world, or even just saving mutliple people. Ahhhhh so frustrating.

I know! That's the real tragedy. It had such promise!

Don't worry my friend you are not alone. What makes it worse is that a lot of the characters were so likeable, so I actually cared about what happened to them. And then this happens!

Best first episode I've seen in a while, looking forward to this one!

I understand all of that, I was aware of it when the reveal happened, but making sense of it doesn't make it any more enjoyable. It just made me not care about the finale because it got rid of everything I was invested in.

Agreed. Right off the bat it felt like it was checking boxes. Character actions never felt like they were natural, qnd were just there to progress through the scene.

Yeah that was the feeling I was getting from it. It's not that I expected them to go into detail at the start, but the portrayal of what we were shown didn't feel genuine to me.

I was looking for what you described, but I viewed what I saw differently than you did. For me it could also have more to do with the writing and less to do with the addition of mental health. The characters feel like archetypes and not like real people to me so the drama came off as disingenuous. I also feel strongly about having fleshed out characters when dealing with the topic of mental health is very important because the way its portrayed could feed into negative stigmas, and I'm not fond of the portrayal of the illnesses thus far, especially PTSD for personal reasons.

The drama may get better and the characters might feel more genuine further in because that does tend to happen with dramas, but I personally don't think it's worth sitting through if I'm already not enjoying it. Hoping for the people still watching that it turns out to be a great drama though.

Very true <3

I stopped halfway through episode 2. I may play it in the background one day while I'm working, but it wasn't enjoyable to watch so I'm not sure it's worth it.

Not in genre, but in the feeling of it. The FL reminds me a lot of Man-Wol, the lead from HDL, but more dramatic and not fun to watch.

A drama I expected to tackle the mental health issues is actually doing a very poor job of it, so I was apprehensive about it after the firrat 20 minutes, but instead of being an It's Okay, That's Love it turns out to be a knock off Hotel Del Luna. Sad to say, hard pass. There were parts that made me feel real fruatration and we're right at the start of the series.

I love the concept and the world, but the bad editing, the dry leads and the dragging middle have killed this show for me.

I'm solely watching for WDH now. He makes this drama, which is sad because even as two characters he doesn't get much screen time. If nothing else, I hope he gets cast in bigger roles after this.

Happy to hear I'm not the only one!

Just finished this and I feel cheated. Yes, the message is beautiful and all, and yes, that last episode had me crying, but I can't say whether that's because of the writing or my feelings towards Alzheimer's after experiencing it through my grandmother.

If the show was honest from the start, I may have loved it. But it wasn't. It feels like those 10 episodes weren't needed if this was the story they were going to tell. All of those story threads and all of that time invested to get to that point were just thrown away in favour of a slice of life melodrama. The show made me care about the delusion of Joon Ha, and I just didn't care at all for the real him because of it. The fake versions of the main couple were a lot more compelling to watch, and I really did care about them, no matter how absurd the story around them was. It's a kdrama, I'm used to the absurd. But the reality of them just made me numb to it all. Is it just me?

This drama isn't going the way I planned, but it's still so much fun and I can't wait for next week's conclusion!
