fuck the ending. the last episode was so abrupt and rushed. and the ambiguity felt forcefully inserted at the end. so stupid. it felt like a cheap way to end the show. This would've been a solid 8 were it not for the ending. I seriously feel like I got cheated. I wasted my time watching a pretty decent conspiracy drama only to have it cheapened in the last 5 minutes of the last episode. Dude, I'm pretty angry. It felt like the writers suddenly went "hey, let's try this cool thing to fuck with the viewers muahaha." The end was seriously... gawd.

Solid performances by the leads and the little girl was amazing. That's why I kept going, honestly. I don't shy away from giving up a drama. I stopped at episode 15 out of 16 for one drama because I thought it was just too ridiculous at that point. With this one, I would have stopped by episode 12, but I love the two leads so much, and that little girl is too damn adorable and such a great actress.

This has no re-watch value. I think it's sort of worth watching for the acting, you know? Maybe. The mom's character was annoying at time with her capricious actions and the typical cliche of characters NOT EXPLAINING ANYTHING in a span of like 5 minutes. Like, you had 5 minutes to reveal pertinent information, but instead you mumble your apologies and confusion for 5 whole minutes only to die. I hate that trope the most in Korean dramas and it is used a lot here.

So, a lot of plot holes and unanswered questions are left hanging.
