This drama was wonderful all throughout its run. I just find the modern-day to past connection hard to believe. I still don't get why ghost-coma and now time-reverse dramas need a realistic approach. The story this drama tells is a peculiar story and that ending, although hard to watch, was understandable. I just hated how the world I was introduced to for 14 episodes crumbled all at once. The first episode was too hard to finish but I held through because I knew it wasn't part of drama's main world. This didn't make the final episode any better. I could be one of the "delusional ones" who can't understand why we did this shift. But I will respect the author's choice of ultimately making HW the main character and not DJ.

To me, in the end, DJ died an unjustifiable death right before achieving his goal and HW got to repent, reconcile with his family, and even achieve DJ goal. Even during the "past" time, the drama made sure to strip HW/DJ from a parental tie with his rich parents. Not at any specific moment did he come to consider them as family. In the last episode, it was no different. He saw them as DJ family with a completely different emotional reaction to meeting his current-day father and brother.

This drama aside I can't believe I began and ended 2022 with outstanding dramas with an unsatisfactory end. Hoping 2023 brings an even better performance with a matched story.
