Really Good…Until it Wasn’t

Excellent show until the last episode. Watched it with my father, and we really enjoyed the dynamics within the family and were looking forward to seeing how Jin Do Jun triumphed over his scheming relatives.

When it got to the the last episode, the storyline became very disjointed and plot holes arose that didn’t need to be there. My father and I were confused and disappointed. We even shook our heads at each other and shrugged after the show ended.

I didn’t know this was a web novel with a different ending, but now it makes sense why the the last episode seemed so bad to us.
