Such mixed feelings...

So the score of this drama here one might think is criminally low, as how good the series is... but it made a lot of sense after watching the last episode.

It will not end the way you'd like or how it should. No spoilers, just a warning, as I hate endings like this and I feel like I have to do this favor for you of letting you know in advance.

I think the middle of the series is starting to drag but it gathers itself nicely again and quickly regains the same excitement it had at the first third of the episodes. I really like the main guy, I think he did amazing even despite the MOUSTACHE omg shave that thing! and the horrible dressing they committed against him.
He is good, he is a joker, a player, a bad guy and the good guy. The show often plays with the metaphor of masks and it's definitely what he has a lot of and you wonder which is the real one.

The twists are maybe a bit too much, but the way the pacing gives them to the audience is very good, so even if it's pretty much over the top, it doesn't feel like it. It's well done to keep you at the edge of your seat a lot.

It is a revenge plot, and these tend to have this moral question, if you know you know, and I don't like the answer it gives at the end.

It was no question until the end if I would recommend it to others, but now I'm stuck. I don't know. At the end it does feel like a waste of emotions and interest I put into it. You have to decide if you're ready to make this sacrifice.
