I agree. I found the change in her personality very extreme and while I accept it, without seeing the character development I found it a bit jarring. It would have been nice if we had seen the process of her character changing.

Overall I enjoyed the drama. For the first half or so of the drama because it was excellent I wondered why I had not heard of it before . Unfortunately, the magic of the first half faded throughout the second half. I am still glad I watched it but I thought that the writing was not as strong in the second half, particularly changes to the FL character and ML and FL relationship which didn't seem to be supported by prior events. Anyway. I like time travel/transmigration stories so it was fun and I might watch at least the first half again.

Fair enough, it just seemed strange to me and I found the scenes a bit too aggressive, but perhaps it is understandable. Their interactions do improve as the series progresses.

I'm on the 5th episode. I always find the family dynamics difficult to understand in many dramas. It is beyond my experience when for example, as in this drama, the brother seems to have an ability to stop his sister's relationship and interfere in it. I recognize there are many differences in how people interact, but I find the scenes at this point between the brother and ML annoying.

Thank-you. I wasn't sure and it made me nervous. :)

In the preview, who is male on the bed with Lee Dam? ML or SL?

Watched this for the second time (lots of scene skipping this time though to limit my viewing time). I couldn't remember the ending and as it approached I was concerned about possible redemptions and reconciliations, but I was reasonably satisfied with the way things turned out. I really enjoyed the story, but I am a Lee Yu-Ri fan so that may bias my opinion. Watching this type of drama requires a certain suspension of disbelief and recognition of when the drama was released, but if you can relax the need for the drama to perfectly resemble real life, you may enjoy a very enjoyable emotional roller coaster ride. Oh, and don't be surprised if it appears that there is only one place where people can meet to have coffee/tea while discussing big issues.

Really enjoyed your article and will find your process quite helpful. I have a number of dramas that I simply stopped watching, I suppose I lost interest or became attracted to other dramas. I have been telling myself I should finish them, or at least see if they are worth finishing. Your article is very timely for me. Thanks.

Enjoyed the article. A few comments: (a) for kdramas the beauty of the actresses must also be acknowledged; (b) I didn't particularly think the last two episodes of Vicenzo were very well done, or at least it to the same standard as the early episodes; although the difficulty with endings is not limited to this kdrama; and (c) I am concerned that the changes to kdramas brought about by Netflix and catering to international audiences may change the essence of the kdrama and result in dramas that are nothing more than the standard tv show with a 16 episode season. Perhaps not the best analogy, but when one traveled years ago stores in countries you visited were of a local nature, but now the same stores dominate most countries. It is easy to dilute the uniqueness of places and entertainment.

I finished it.

Overall I really enjoyed the drama, but for me the last two episodes were underwhelming. There were certainly some very good scenes in the final episode; however, I felt the episode had a patchwork quality and lacked the excitement and punch of many of the other episodes in the drama.

I will try not to judge the last part of the episode until I see what happens next week, but it seemed out of place and would require a significant number of characters to act out of character. I wonder if they will resolve the loss of RaRa's fortune in the remaining episodes. In earlier episodes it seemed her father's secretary(?) was a crook.

I am interested enough in the drama (largely because of the cast and genre) to keep watching, but at the moment at least, I do not feel immersed in the story. If I were reading, it is the feeling one gets when skimming versus truly reading a story. I do not know if it is a pacing issue (I find it slow) or the fact that in spite of the characters' backstories, I have not developed a strong connection.
