also i have been seeing people say that yeojung's character was unnecessary.. like did we watch the same show?
Ah, okay. Yeah, I'd say his doctor-y role (at least) was necessary to the plot, so it's silly to think he should not have been there. But I'm also of the opinion that his character needed to be given another pass or two before finalizing, so I'm wondering how much of the complaints about him are just...undeveloped or inarticulate rather than literal. I mean, I'm new here, so I don't know how deeply folks typically think about these shows and their storytelling in these comment sections.
Am I the only one who found the romance between the leads forced? Like I didn't find any chemistry between them…
Heh, no, this seems to be the most common complaint. Personally, I thought it wasn't any worse than the other areas that weren't as well developed as they should have been, but...I can see why it's so oft-cited.
And I'm absolutely with you about the scenes with the husband having the biggest sparks. His oddly small role in the overall story is at the top of my "where things went wrong" list.
I don't think the end was satisfying, there are too many things left open, a bunch of side characters just vanished…
Exactly. I did a lot of "wait wait wait, what about this...?" because there were so many loose threads after Part 1. And then they wete not only dropped but replaced with other loose threads in Part 2.
Like...did I just imagine the show teasing that Hye-jeong might have been pregnant? Was that really just brought up to try and trick us about who might have killed Myeong-o?

From what I've seen, it's less people saying he was unnecessary to the plot and more that the romance (which is most of why he's there) didn't work for them. Which I think is a fair criticism--though not because I don't think the show needed a romance subplot. Rather, I think the romance, like a lot of elements in the story, was underdeveloped. So, in that sense, saying he was "unnecessary" is sort of a catch-all way of saying that time spent on the romance could have been better spent on tightening up the other stray story elements.
I love an opportunity to force myself to split hairs over things like this, so casting my votes in the order I wanted was fun. Thanks for putting it together.
That said, my favorite part is checking out the bottom of the list to see which ladies are there solely thanks to my vote. Quite amusing.
I don't know what this show was trying to do, but I think it only landed any one of those disparate things about half the time anyway.

...no, seriously, did I just imagine this?
At least, thats how I see it.

Hmm. My inner boss lady is apparently very, very hampered by my outter lower-management fellow.
