Wattpad story ruined by the final episode

When I first started this drama I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I did until the last episode

During the first two episode I immediately knew this story was cliche or wattpad ish cause I have seen so many to the point I can recognize within minutes and it was done quite well most of the story but I do understand why people think this is very overhyped or hate it tbh I would’ve as well

Despite it being a cliche I think the acting wasn’t bad tho it could’ve done well as a longer drama seeing how 12 episodes couldn’t wrap it up properly and some storylines could’ve been developed more such as the 2nd couple or how heejo falls for saeon

The last episode was quite a ride to say? First half good, 2nd half you lost me cause suddenly there’s this whole argan plot and how the ml is there right now fighting as a soldier and how the fl goes into a war zone but ofc they had to make sure that South Koreans looked like saviors by donating money to people of colour of who are unfortunate and “poor”

I’ve read some comments saying how in the novel it written out better this arc so I’m gonna trust that with a grain of salt
And I’ve also read that apparently it was the directors idea to include a new report on 🍉 and it’s ongoing war
Gotta say very insensitive even if the goal was just trying to be more “realistic”

Overall the drama is quite cliche so if u enjoy a possessive ml type romance with a badly written ending then go ahead
