*Spoilers everywhere as usual Many hours later and I’m still trying to come to grips with the odd montage of happenings that made up the last two episodes of the series. Still fresh in my mind reinforced by a repeat watch of the finale, I’m still suffering pangs of dissatisfaction with what was and angsting just a little over what might have been. For a show that traded relentlessly on plot twists and the shock factor, the finale felt strangely flat and mind numbingly… tedious. The gimmickry of unpredictability had outstayed its welcome and that was certainly felt in the way events played out with Won Sang-a and Jin Hwa-young. I discovered rather quickly that I couldn’t give two hoots as to why Won Sang-a turned into maniacal psychopathic killer or that Jin Hwa-young was back in town to save In-joo from a fate worse than poverty or how General Won was inspired by an almost extinct exotic orchid to start a cult that would infiltrate South Korean society. So what if Sang-a had mummy issues? As if it’s any kind of justification for her deadly syringe-stabbing habit.
I'm so annoyed. I wasted my time on this, I knew from ep 6 or so that this show was not to be trusted and yet I went along with it and I've even watched this two last eps hoping against hope that everything would be better. I had to start skipping bits because it all became too much.
What a savage review :)
Thank you for helping me decide not to watch this drama (ok, if I'm reading spoilers maybe I already know...) I would have been frustrated by the FL.
