Second half dragfest, but a satisfying conclusion

The drama kind of lost its way in the second half and got draggy — I loved the first few eps and “alternate universes” we got but then it became just about chasing down this single package and a character who was just wayyy too tight-lipped for all the wrong reasons. But what an excellent way to end.

In a way it was a lot more simple than I expected; there were no redemption arcs, no being forced to work with a bad guy against a bigger, common enemy. The heroes just did their thing, the bad guys did their thing and that was just kinda it. I’m actually okay with it because redemption arcs are hard to pull off and in the end we got a satisfying “heroes win, bad guys lose,” clean-cut conclusion.

My favorite element is probably the hints of "found family" that we got especially at the end where we saw the leads come together — I really wish they had shown more of it throughout the drama but either way it was really satisfying character growth for both the lead characters.
