Rushed Ending
Reasons why you should watch this:
1. The Cast. There were no weak links and Lee Jong Suk & Yoona's chemistry + acting really hit it out of the park! I loved Kim Joo Heon in previous projects so I was excited to see him get a meatier role...his acting was amazing because I hated his guts in the 2nd half of the series.
2. I would love to see Yoona act as a mafia boss. She looked incredibly cool in that fish farm scene!
3. The death of a major character. It always has so much more emotional impact than writing off a minor character. It was rushed though. I don't know if it's because they were vague with the timeline, but one of the main characters seemed to die off waaaay faster than all the other people with the same illness did.
4. Redemption arcs. I think only 2 characters redeemed themselves, but boy was the journey worth it! I went from hating Gong Ji Hoon for the majority of the series to rooting for him.
5. No silly love triangle. Just a married couple who commit to loving each other through thick & thin. Also, a huge plus is the supportive wife trope!
Cons:
1. Suuuuper rushed ending. Literally wrapped the whole series up in 6 mins. Didn't even really get to see the bad guy suffer.
2. Middle episodes dragged a bit. Maybe if they didn't spend so long on dragging out the plot, they've would've given a carefully plot out finale.
3. The amount of times LJS had to scream "Who are you?" or some iteration of it. Do the writers really think it adds value? Which villain would voluntarily offer up their identity? I also got super fed up with all his arrogance in the prison. As if he could really outsmart Big Mouse. I was confused by all his "traps" for Big Mouse -- did anyone understand what he was trying to do? They didn't really explain what he did exactly besides calling them "traps".
4. The long buildup & quick resolution (I'm thinking it's characteristic of this drama). The writers constantly reminded us that the prison warden was against the new Big Mouse, yet he was suddenly on Big Mouse's side without complaint. I thought I missed an episode or something.
Overall: great acting, potentially great script if they didn't fall short here and there (especially when it counts, aka the finale), but no explanation for big moves & the lightning quick resolutions after extended buildups.
