Make no mistake: this is a good show. The way the relationship develops, the way they work over the homophobic parents; the whole ordeal is brilliant. The last episode, however, is where I draw the line.
In writing, we have a rule: don't kill off a character just to make your audience sad. This is because you betray a sort of "trust" between the writer and reader, and you can cause the reader to become angry if you don't do it right. The same rule goes for series and movies in my opinion. There are plenty of ways to kill a character and make it work, but I believe this story missed it. It feels like a cop-out in my opinion. Like, a doppelgänger? That's what we're going with? After everything they've been through, you're going to do that to them?
It was honestly a disappointment from what had been great screen writing so far and a heart-warming story.
I'll rewatch this series, make no mistake, because the acting is amazing, the chemistry is almost better, and I love the story aside from the ending, but I won't watch the last episode because that's just... insulting~
