Edited With A Serrated Knife

Tbh, this started out pretty good. I was enjoying it despite the rough editing cuts and a few other random flaws here and there.

But then all of a sudden around Ep. 10, one of the main police characters disappeared. It made the whole murder mystery situation a complete mess. The cops looked like fools who aren't out to seek justice but just to do the bidding of chaebols giving orders or placating the rest of society to pretend like they're actually trying to do a job they are not. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth....

Then after that the story fell apart into a rotating cycle of the same topic: they're hiding, they're lying around in each other's arms waiting for death, the bad guys find them, bad guys tell the cops, cops chase after them, catch them, then release them....and we just rinse and repeat this cycle until the show is over....

The end was a time skip, with stuff that made no sense.... we didn't see any of the hospital process, and why is the head nun giving medical advice and not a doctor??? There was nothing to cops doing their job... it was all 'in the background".... We just basically watch a group of people cry over each other when we already knew this shit would happen from the start... There was VERY little character development except for the OTP... and that was an aspect that was truly overlooked and lost as a potential to bolden this plot.... but this writer just wanted to do 'depressed and sad lives' and keep us there.... Hell, we don't even get to truly see the results of the bad guys... just a partial TV news report... which was just as weak as randomly cutting a main supporting actor playing a cop without any real rhyme or reason for it... don't believe me??? Go look at the comments to the ending... people STILL don't understand what happened and think he was written out for personal reasons, not because the writer wanted to do it for the plot... but there's no confirmation either way... which just proves the sloppy writing this had...

It's really sad because the actors, especially the grandma, acted the shit out of their characters and really truly tried to sell us the whole thing... but even with all of that, they couldn't save the final snooze fest of 3-4 episodes of nothingness the writer put into that script.
