Arise

I do believe people would have been disappointed whatever the ending. I do agree S1 should have been the beginning and the end but here we are.
I actually liked S3 because of the characters’ development and the acting performances which were really good for whoever it was.

I actually was blown away by the performances of Yim Si Wan, Park Sung-Hoon and Jo Yu Ri is a very promising actress. S3 brings a lot of nostalgia with its last episode as well. I think the story was also endearing.

That being said, I have a hard time judging the series because of the presence of a very controversial cast… for instance I think Lee Jin Wook is a fantastic actor, not just here. The same goes for Park Sung-Hoon who is extremely talented. So Can we separate the actor and his performance? That is a big question here…

Also it is true you can tell the business drive behind seasons following S1. There are also a lot of small issues but I personally thing this season particularly was endearing and showed a lot of acting range from actors even though some actors are questionable.
