Four Stars

i think this tv drama ended cohesively, however, by not putting Cha with Roy got a little anticlimactic. see, someone like Roy who offered a part of an organ to donate (!!!) is hard to find. in the whole series they put our expectations up there in relation to this possible couple to, in the end, she dismisses him. throughout the series, it was evident that Cha did not consider being Roy's object of love because she saw herself as less valuable. she felt older too (still there's this very strong judgment in SK and a lot of other places about this topic). it was logical that she wouldn't want to be with him because her self-esteem was and always was very low. however, it would be perfectly in keeping with the entire narrative of this drama if she could see that she was worthy of being loved by a man. anyway, if she was supposed to not have stayed with Roy, then the scripters shouldn't give us so many expectations about this relationship... also, they didn't develop Roy's character very well...about divorce and post-divorce i thought it was good but a little too much in terms of happiness, lol. there are couples who remain friends after divorce but i felt that in the end the scripters pushed a friendship too far between a couple who had an extremely toxic relationship before that. the series also forces the idea that you must forgive. no, forgiving is something that doesn't always fit and that's ok. she could forget what her mother-in-law and her ex-husband did to her, but the way the drama shows it looks like she is again trying to be the "good girl" who forgives everything and everyone because she went through life and death situations (boring, sorry). even if you experience near-death situations and completely rethink your life, you don't have to subject yourself to the same people who mistreated you so badly. btw, this is something that is not recommended for mental health reasons. in that part, i thought they didn't care about the pain and suffering that Cha went through for years and years of being married. the scripters simply reduced everything the moment she found herself nearly dying again. seriously, could have been more subtle on that part to be more believable...finally, despite all that, i found the series good because it brings several current issues and that i think SK society is still trying deal with...
