Disappointing Ending

Starting this show, I’d already assumed that the ending would be a sad one. And I’m never one to complain about such endings, in fact, I LOVE sad endings. So, I went into this knowing that I would be left crying, and I was fine with that.

The first 8-9 episodes of the show were really fun to sit through and I had watched them in one sitting.

Then for the rest of the episodes, I felt as if they were dragging it out too much and I started getting bored.

I felt like they could’ve used the unnecessary screen time into going through more topics and explaining them, which would have left us with answers and satisfaction but that didn’t happen. Actually, the opposite happened.

Some of the confusing things I’d been left with after the show ended:

1. Jaebum could’ve gotten out of trouble as his personality disorder would’ve explained his behavior.

2. The rooftop incident was so unnecessary and the school lying about it was unnecessary too, as Sooheon would’ve easily explained himself out of it, and it would’ve been wrapped up as self-defense.

3. The brain tumor topic was not brushed on, not even lightly. So, that seemed like it was swept under the rug.

4. To me, the ending was so childish, and it was as if it was meant for a younger audience, which since it’s Disney, I assume that was the goal. However, I think the gore of some of the scenes contradicts that goal, which makes it pointless for them to conclude the show with a lighthearted ending. I mean, I was completely strapped in for an ending that’d leave me devastated. So, you could imagine my disappointment when I was left with THAT.

TL;DR: Good show, but unsatisfying ending.
Is it worth watching? Yes, absolutely.
Maybe my expectations were up too high, but in my opinion, the ending could’ve been done better.
