Disapointing storytelling with great Acting

WLGT is written well, the story at it's core is very poignant and teahes us many lessons, the actors did a great job however i was disapppointed with how the story folded out. I really liked how they showed us how Ae-sun lived her life and the sacrifices they both made but i feel like there was a disconnect between IU as Ae-sun and in the present. Her present story felt very incomplete, diconnected and rushed, i would 've loved seen her relationships, career, more fleshed out especially as she was playing both characters yet not it made lose appreciation for the earlier episode and constatntly pulled me out of the story. i really wish they would have let Bo-gum play a bit in the present timeline to show them growing older then switch to the new person that would've tie the story better or even settle for the mom telling her story through present IU eyes while living her life. Overall, i was disapointed but it is great story nonetheless.
