I have watched this a couple of times now and enjoyed it each time. Unfortunately ...

there were the usual unnecessary plot points and misunderstandings. We deserve more but sadly these shows, and those who produce them still feel that we do not deserve authenticity.

Cast ... Very good.
Characters... So many flaws but that is human nature although sometimes they were nonsensical.
Storyline/plot ... It was a relatively new concept so that is great, but things took a wrong turn at the end.
Quality ... Pretty good.
Side characters ... Entertaining giving the show some comedic relief.
Character growth ... Hmmmm

What went wrong ...

The ending was infuriating. I understand why they had the ending the way they did, but the whole show revolved around the MLs' willingness and sacrificial life to keep the FL safe, yet he walked away from her. Knowing she was very fragile, mentally a wreck ... he walked away and put her through hell. I found that he was extremely selfish and the characters' growth, which was amazing up to then, went downhill and made me lose respect.

Please just end a show ... you don't need to carry on, just end it. We did not need to see all the rubbish in the end. It ultimately ruined a perfectly good show.
