Why are the ratings so high ?

Maybe my review is too subjective but I really don’t understand how this drama got so much liked nor do I understand the ratings here.

The only 3 really good things are : SIG’s acting - the gorgeous cinematography - interesting topics within the main topic

But then it is lacking in a lot of aspects. The top review on it said the ditector was too narrow minded about their opinion on suicide. To me it is not a problem. In order to convey a message, directors often need to be narrow minded… Then if it meets the public’s opinion it is a win. But what troubles me is the lack of originality in the main topic and that, with all those cases and beautiful scenes, we are waiting somehow for an ending twist which we do not get. Let the end be very open is not what I consider an ending twist as it is not surprising.

It is ok if you don’t want to be original but when you decide to make a series in order to convey a message so simple or seen over and over there is a disappointing feeling in the end. That is where originality is lacking to me.

You get sometimes engaged in one special case but hardly on his own fate.

GYJ is great and some others I didn’t mentioned but I am not convinced one inch by the female lead here… I might get so much hate but it is the first time I want to call out an actress telling her this is quite a bad performance..

Anyway, I apologize if you find this too subjective but this is my honest opinion on it
