Min-seo being the green hoodie isn't actually all that shocking all things considered. Let's be real, she was probably just following orders and trying to survive, and I refuse to blame her for that. Is it right? Of course not, but this drama has consistently shown us that even the good guys are flawed, and that there is no such thing as the "perfect victim".

Also, since we never saw that laptop actually being handed over, was she acting under orders this episode, or did she just save Seon-hwa's life?

I mean, the supposed leads haven't actually had any romantic scenes yet outside of their 5 minute flashback montage in episode 2. The only romantic aspect here is the fact that they're exes. Remove that, and you have nothing left outside of their chemistry (which is subjective, but chemistry alone does not build a romance). You could argue she's had romantic moments with Albert, but whether she actually sees him as a possible romantic partner is highly debatable.

Also, I might be wrong, but I don't think this drama was ever promoted as a romance drama. Heck, I don't even know where the romance tag here came from, because I remember it being suddenly added after the drama premiered.

I'm sorry, but Jung-woo is a coward, and Geum-bo deserves better than a coward. I don't actually dislike him as a character necessarily, I just really dislike him as a love interest. I think he's way more interesting as this "shady guy" than he is as the "male romantic lead".

Luckily this drama is really about the 4 women. They are very much the leads in this, and their bond represents the heart of this drama (even the opening credits hint at this). This drama really fires on all cylinders when they are the focus, which luckily, is most of the time.

I don't think this is the big spoiler you think it is honestly.

Have to say, that 9-year time jump caught me off guard. I initially thought they'd go for the most heartbreaking scenario and have Koharu die shortly after the fireworks, but (luckily) that's not what happened. Seems like we did actually get a bit of miracle: she passed away, but it does seem like she did live on for quite a bit (the ending doesn't really make sense otherwise). We don't really have any clear answers, but it seems like they actually got married? And had a kid?! A sad ending was inevitable, but there's a lot of beauty in the thought that Koharu was happy for a while, and that she (with Kakeru) did make a lot of her dreams come true.

So good, and so heartbreaking (but also really beautiful in a way). You know it's going to break your heart, but it does it so well, you just can't stop watching.

Sure, the scenes they have aren't bad, but now imagine how much better they'd be if I actually had a reason to care about them.

I really don't know what the drama is doing with the romance angle honestly. If they want me to root for her to end up with Jung-woo, they're doing a horrible job at it. If they want me to root for her to end up alone or with Albert, they're actually doing a pretty good job. Geum-bo's relationship with the girls (the highlight of the drama), and even her relationship with Albert now, has everything her relationship with Jung-woo doesn't: actual development.

Are we supposed to root for Geum-bo and Jung-woo just because she's the FL and he's the ML or something? Like, Jung-woo has basically no screentime, and his relationship with Geum-bo has no development. You could say "that'll come later", but then I'd say it's already too late. These two are literally exes, and their past relationship has not been given an ounce of focus. All we got was a flashback montage consisting of two scenes. If that was supposed to make me care, it didn't. Sure, he'll probably end up on the same side as her, simply because he's the ML and that's just the obvious thing. But do I care about it, or do I actually root for that to happen? I'm sorry, but I don't, because you've simply not given me any reason to actually care about that.

Part of the problem with that is, she was only made aware of his circumstances after the fact. He gave his reason afterwards, which makes it sound more like an excuse. I also don't really think his reason holds up perfectly, because he really should've just sent her a text saying he was going into work. Sending a simple text doesn't really interfere with the time she was spending with her mother.

Sure, the whole thing was definitely selfish on her side too, but she also apologized for that. In the end, the effort to communicate with and trying to understand/ getting to know each other is something that should really come from both sides.

Still nothing on an OTT? Kinda making me worried.

Yeah, I think so. Not sure who else would randomly steal 2 chocolates, since I'm pretty sure we're not actually dealing with a ghost.

I think it's her kid? She had a photo of a kid in episode 2. Seems to be the only explanation for everything to me.

Aren't those No Tail To Tell numbers on the very low side for an SBS weekend drama? It's too early to tell for Undercover Miss Hong, but everything else is doing good.

Uhm, why were they fighting over that movie when there were like 4 other copies?

That was set up from the very beginning though. It's not even that she's evil neccesarily, it's just that hers and KDW's values differ too much at this point for them to actually be on the same side.

A case of diminishing returns. This season disappointed me. It's not bad, it's just kind of average. In case this gets a 4th season (unlikely at this point), the writer is gonna have to try a bit harder, because I don't think I want one otherwise.

The final episode ended on both a bang and a wimper. The case was kinda whatever, but I really liked Elements and all the past character from this season coming back. That really was a high point. But because of that, the actual final confrontation just ended up feeling a bit tacked on. They'd already turned the villain into a joke by that point, and it really just felt like the drama suddenly wanted to be dramatic and emotional just for the sake of it. I was never actually worried, and I just ended up rolling my eyes at the whole thing (the season overall just had a lack of actual stakes or danger as well).

Like, I love that they brought back my favorite S1 OST, but other than that the "cliffhanger" was disappointing. Like, Do-ki came to a conclusion but we have no idea how the heck he even came to that conclusion? Okay, I guess? Was that supposed to be emotional or something?

That's exactly why she was wavering, because she knows he's a good person. All she wanted was for him to be honest, but he pushed her to continue (almost as if that's exactly what he wants).

Not that crazy because he literally did remember. The fact her parents are deaf really narrows it down a lot.

I still think Kang David has this all in hand. We only got to that moment in the end because he quite literally told Gi-Ppeum to defeat him. Is he even trying to win this case? Or does he actually want the Pro Bono team to win this case?
