Great beggining, terible ending.
The show got me hooked since the first episode. I binged watched it in 3 days because of how interested I was at the beginning. But toward the end, it became dull, boring, and quite predictable. The ending was rushed and it was funny how ridiculously it all went out.
- Some of the things that I liked were the acting (of course). I mean even the side cast were great at delivering their parts so no complaint about the acting part.
- I also loved the OST, there were some of them who were quite memorable and I loved to hear them whenever they played.
- I truly enjoyed the whole mood of the show, camera settings, and angles, costumes. Evident how much work was put into them and I loved it.
- When it comes to the bad parts, we were introduced to so many plot points prior to the final episodes and so the ending was rushed. It felt as if the drama completely changed its tone after Chang Ho got out of prison - it became dull.
1- Jang Hye Jin? like excuse me but why did anyone care enough to search where did that poor girl go? Even in the end, we didn't see Dr. Han get judged for what he had done to her. It's honestly one of the most frustrating things about the show.
2- Where did the blood samples that everyone was obsessed with go? Doa was about to kill Miho, Chang Ho, and Jang Hye Jin for them. Yet suddenly everyone forgot that they still exist in the freakin drawer.
3- Why did the great Big Mouse who conned everyone got killed off in like 10 seconds?? Couldn't there have been a more realistic way for him to die at least? Because Big Mouse is the driving factor of this whole drama, of course when we reveal who the real Big Mouse is, it should be grand and climatic. But we ended up with Big Mouse reveal that was so underwhelming that it made me feel that there was more nuance to this, but sadly there wasn't and it was simply disappointing.
4- What was the main point of introducing us to the fact that the elder had a son who happens to be the be a serial killer. Not only that but we also got to learn that an innocent guy was framed in his place in exchange for money. Yet all of these ideas were never truly explored. We never got to meet the eldest son, nor did the innocent guy get justice. It was just a secret that we learned about and later died with Miho's death.
5- The elder was portrayed since the beginning as someone who got immense power just for him to simply die like that?
6- Miho's death was in my opinion too stretched out and quit unnecessary. There could have been other ways for Chang Ho to accept and become a good big mouth other than that. It was quite emotional and sad to see him lose her, yet it was lame af.
7- Why didn't we get to see the disgusting head nurse get punished for all of her corruption and despicable acts?
8- Just why tf did Choi Doha ie this easily!!!!!!!! Seriously I was so pissed at it. After all that had happened and him winning over Chang Ho in everything, it was a good build-up for something great that was about to come. Yet it all went down the sink and he did in about 7 minutes like wow quite anti-climatic.
So, these are the main points and questions that were on my mind. I will not be rewatching this drama again but overall it was a decent experience. Sadly the couple final episodes were what had semi-ruined my enjoyment and made it turn into utter frustration. Thanks for reading this far and I hope you enjoyed my first review :)
