WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN - ranting incoming

* MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW *

OKAY boy, do I have a lot to say. This would be a straight-up 10/10 if the last two episodes didn't end how they ended. For me, I don't know what it was, and I don't know how behind the scenes of making a show goes, but I would imagine if this show was on a deadline and they were reaching it, this is how a show would end. The ending was so rushed. I don't know if it was the adrenaline of finishing the show, or the fact that viki says there's still two episodes left yet when I reached episode 7 everyone was mentioning how this was the last episode and it even said "epilogue" but I hated it. And it's not even because of the no kiss. Like yes, I would have appreciated a kiss scene because there was so many moments that felt like they were going to kiss, but I don't watch shows with a kiss scene moment in mind. The chemistry simply was enough for me, but they could have at least gave us a hug scene? In the end it felt like a bromance because you're telling me two people, who have had the idea of dating for the last four years aren't yearning for at least some skinship? Of course, I understand that theyre two idols in a group together so it might make things around them weird if they kiss but like,, dont star in a BL together? I loved their acting and how comfortable they were around each other, I think they did a fantastic job but the lack of skinship in a show that has a lot of teasing felt a bit weird. Like the ending didn't even feel like they were dating yet, like they were still having a crush on each other and were unable to act on it. I loved the pacing of the whole show don't get me wrong, but the ending made no sense. And also we never got clarification on some things and were just left with so many plot holes. I would like to have seen how Tae Hyun was over the past four years. Like he was basically suicidal in high school, then this whole-time jump? I would have liked to see how he worked on himself and got psychological help. I would also like to see his aunt at least apologize and talk through his trauma with his dad. I would have liked to see how Da Yeol's dad felt after finding out about him quitting archery and school. I would have also liked to see how and why Da Yeol came into the police force and if it was his passion. I would like to have more clarification on why Won kyung was so bothered by their relationship? Would also liked to have seen him put in his place. I would also like to know if Da yeol knew about So-yeong's crush on him and I would to have liked him to tell her so she could move on rather than waste her time waiting on him. Also I absolutely hated those unnecessary time jumps as the audience didnt get to see the character developments. Like I understand still liking each other after years, but they met up again at the weirdest times and also didnt talk over their feelings or problems, just sort of skipped around it. BUT overall I loved, LOVED this BL kdrama, I even recommended it to a friend halfway through because it was so beautiful, but the ending really got to me and I don't know if I would have recommended it had I known the ending. The ending was just bittersweet to me and felt a bit weird. I felt like they had enough plot for a few more episodes but thats just my opinion. I had to rant my frustration and opinion somewhere and now that I've let it all out I feel calmer now haha.
