If not for the last 30 mins of last episode, show would have been 9/10

Didn't like the ending, unnecessarily pushed to 18 episodes. If not for the ending, it would have received a 9/10

I loved the new love story and logic between choosing the one of the wives.
He is a completely different person who fell in love with the Kim Hyun Joo.
Because he changed, he is not in love with his previous wife.
It is just like divorcing first wife and falling in love and marrying another woman later. It Tracks
Why would you erase all that beautiful love story just so another one can get his chance. It does not track as well as does not sit well with me.
The love story can be looked at without supernatural element like this: (Analogy)
Divorced Man with one child and Widowed woman with two children fall in love and marry and live happily live together.
You could take it a bit far and say, 1st wife dies in an accident, so now the family is Two parents and Three children.
I would have loved this ending.
Why did you push the entire plot (entire 17.5 episodes) into oblivion. The last 30 mins of the last episode shatters a beautiful love story.
Loved the second chance at love for KIM HUN JOO Character, but ruined it in the last 30 mins of the last episode.
It left a bad taste. Like KIM HUN JOO Character is being betrayed/scammed

Could have been a better 16 episode drama

Spoiled the drama just to accommodate it into 8 episodes. Could have been more space for romance as well as drama. A lot of shifting alliances would also have been possible. Romance is lacking, drama is lacking. everything comes to stop abruptly for every dramatic moment. I guess they wanted to focus mainly on THE REX, but it would have been better if the story was viewed from FL viewpoint. The FL needed more time to build her strength as well as develop as a character. Plot twists are not very interesting. The dramatic impact is also not long enough to feel, it was always rushed so as to complete the story in 8 episodes. I think they wanted to focus THE REX to create more seasons with different actors with REX as the center but it did not work.

ML and FL doesn't belong together

I didn't like that ML is still chasing after the FL at the end of series. They should have gone their own way separate from each other. ML is stalking her after putting her and her family through so much pain. ML is poorly written character.
This is the one drama where i disliked the ML so much that i wanted him out of FL's life. In the end, he even colludes with FL's friend to make the FL think it is a coincidence/fate. Regarding other storylines, it was good pace and better ending for all of them. If only FL found another man who loves her and ML just remains as a brother, the drama would have been much better. Just because he was ML, they tried to link him with FL even with all the pain between them. The ML seems like an idiot who can only focus on one thing at a time - either the corporation, or love or his company or his lifestyle or family. He can never balance these things. He gives up everything else for one. And late feels sad and apologizes over that fact but never learns. He never thinks things through and just apologizes when the damage is done. And when the apology is accepted, he gets back doing stupid things that can cause more pain. Follows a selfish lifestyle and apology cycle.

Sexual harassment

It is all in the headline. First half of the story is ML sexually Harassing the FL.
Most of the C-Dramas with Rich Boss ML are similar, as in harassing the FL with their Power, Authority and Money.
They always try to influence FL life without their permission just because they are rich and powerful.
K-Dramas have good Boss and Employee relationships (98.5% of the K-Dramas, obviously not all of them) Even the remaining 1.5% K-Dramas do not go beyond simple harassment (like Cat and Mouse fights)
At least other C-Dramas are limited in their sexual harassment of FL, this drama is full on Sexual Harassment of FL ( Even when she repeatedly tries to keep distance from ML)
These type of Dramas, even after FL falls for ML, it seems like Stockholm syndrome or Suspension effect - NOT LOVE
C-Dramas need to show respect for the FL characters and their stories.
What is the use of a Talented, beautiful and confident FL, if she is always tripped by the ML for no reason whatsoever.
Why does the ML always have the upper hand (just because he is rich and is boss) ?
ML can be arrogant of his handsomeness, but not too arrogant as to sexual harasses the women.
These type of dramas propagate the idea that anything done by rich and handsome man is OK, when it is NOT
If the things done by ML is done by some poor and not-so-handsome guy, he will be beaten and brought to the police or in the least see him as a pervert.
People argue that ML does not do such things to everyone, just the FL because he loves her. To them I say, if FL does not say it is OK (Out of love & not coercion), it is SEXUAL HAASSMENT especially when she is trying to flee from him.
ML asks FL to be his girlfriend to lend money.(Scumbag)
Hardest 8 episodes to get through, even then not satisfactory
