This review may contain spoilers
Like others who have already given perfect scores, I've done so because of the low scores given by some viewers who never even finished the series. I won't go through the whole plot again, but I will address a couple of points that some people may have missed...
I know that the biggest complaint by some viewers was the fact that Korn cheated on Knock and the negativity became so bad that the company and MaxTul had to release statements. If they expected an immediate happy ever after then there wouldn't have been any point in making a whole new season - realistically that's just not life. Firstly, Knock was not an equal partner in this relationship and in fact, was acting like a child for the first half of the series - not being responsible in the home or the relationship. He was taking Korn for granted, always expecting him to pay for everything, not doing anything to help around the condo and not being affectionate towards Korn and I don't mean just withholding sex. It's no wonder Korn was starting to have doubts about their relationship. Then along comes Pete, the evil boss, who is adept at grooming young men for his own selfish pleasure, solidifying those doubts. When he finally sets up events, Knock does his part perfectly by being lazy and selfish, leaving Korn to Pete's machinations - after all, Korn thought it was a birthday party and couldn't exactly just up and leave. Pete being the master manipulator that he is, plied Korn with spiked booze and sweet/not so sweet words and we all know what happened next. Now this is what I find totally hypocritical - fans berated Korn for sleeping with Pete after a drunken evening, but conveniently forget that Korn made a pass at his straight friend, (who he hadn't seen for years), after a drunken evening and they ended up sleeping together and despite what happened in the light of day, Knock did so willingly. Don't give me excuses that Korn sleeping with Pete was different because they were in a committed relationship, because if Knock had cared about their relationship, it just wouldn't have happened. The point is, many an unintended mistake is made when alcohol is involved.,, It was inferred at the end of the series that the fathers did something inappropriate, however innocent, when they were drunk, even though they were both in committed relationships, but I can bet that 100% of people who watched that scene thought it was funny. I certainly didn't hear any complaints about it.
People automatically assumed that Yihwa had slept with Art, although no one ever actually said that. Let's all just jump to conclusions again. I do however, think that she treated Cho badly by not being honest with him from the beginning.
The storyline I did not like was Farm's supposed revenge plot against Bright. I expected big things this season and was excited to see Farm appearing to carry out his revenge, but it was obvious fairly quickly that he was falling for Bright again. Yihwa knew about said revenge but said nothing when Rit said he'd broken up with Farm and it was never mentioned again. At first I wasn't sure about Rit, but I grew to love him. What Farm did to him was no better than Bright and frankly they deserved each other. Bright was his usual sleazy self and Farm was no better... and thanks to his unflattering facial hair he played his part well. If I never see FarmBright again it will be too soon.
The other problem I had was the way everyone treated Fai and I do think the series did her a disservice, by having her sacrifice her true feelings to make her friends feel better about what they'd done.
My favourite characters this season were Cho, Fai and Rit.
I really missed the music from last season and some of this season's I didn't like, nor did I like those awful drawings at the beginning, but that's just me. I definitely will 100% re-watch and re-watch again. I just wish that fans would calm down and watch the whole thing before making judgements.
