It was good...until it wasn't

I am amazed by some of the high ratings tbh, and also a little angry at some of the wording used. Here me out - I loved it too in the beginning, the build-up was beautiful, the story captivating, the actors did well....but that last episode? Sorry, did you watch a different drama to give it a 10? I don't mean any disrespect, each their own, but that ending was confusing and uncomfortable to watch.

And I am not talking about the no-kissing-part. Listen, to all those talking sh*t and something about "hot-flashed girls with an erotic addiction"...seriously? I am a 30-year old woman in happy relationship. If I wanted to get some fire, I'd talk to my girlfriend. But you just don't build-up a story of two young boys with a lot of unresolved trauma trying to find their place in life and apparently falling in love for 6 episodes, to just completely ambush it in the last one! I have rarely seen a drama that hurt so much while watching, didn't know if I should cry or laugh or scream or just cringe, but that last episode was not enjoyable. What makes me more angry is that now it seems like the 6 episodes before where just fake and I as a viewer am delusional for thinking they could be a couple. Yeah, why would you go on a trip together after 2 years of being in a relationship? No, of course, I get it, the thought of spending time together as a couple really is that disgusting. Honestly, who writes stuff like that - and why??

I do not care if there is no kissing or any other form of physical touch, but what I need is pure emotions and a whole bunch of feelings. And that series was able to destroy all these honest feelings in one episode. Please do better....if The Eighth Sense ends in a similar way, I'll give up, I swear ? So far so good though :)
