Well, if it was done so well, it would be satisfying as it is. It's highly unlikely to get a second season to resolve things. I wasn't emotionally prepared for KT ilness at all (those lousy hints aside, he was said to get check-up that came clear at the beginning) and it was held until last minutes whether he'll die or not. Seo Hyun was running amok, begging for a bucket of a cold water if it wasn't for a last minute transfer. And suddenly he's his charming, sly self again and everything is fine. Like he had a switch.

it's just a collection of cliché but badly done
not really. It could have turned much more cliche if it went for a mindless rivalry between Dr Seo and the other Seo and obvious love triangle angst. But it never did. Neither did it overplayed Seo Woo Jin being in denial for ages or hiding their romance from other coworkers. Dr Seo was far from typical puppy eyed second lead. And Jina won from a position that usually is an end of a supportive character.

Or, idk, the show could not leave a man who may or may not have a year of living on a surgery table. Just saying.

No, it's not open ending and it's happy for all people who make it alive :D But two die in the process, so maybe not so happy for them.
YSH plays the cheating husband and contrary to most kdramas dealing with this subject they aren't forced together for the sake of children in the end.
I understand the confusion, because the synopsis isn't very telling or accurate. I'm thinking how to rephrase it without giving major spoilers.

Spoil me. Is you-know-who dying for real? Because if the answer is yes, I refuse to watch the finale.
/the answer above (but nothing much to spoil really)

It does. No worries.
Well. It depends on the perspective as always. There's one casualty and one madwoman literally consumed by flames, but Sung Joon is safe. And he gets a girl.
No kisses tho. Hugs only.

You mean like Japan or China? They don't. It seems not like a fixed jackpot of holidays, but more of a 'long weekend' thing. A working day comes between two holidays and people can have long break with taking only a day off. Here's a chart:

"This time the pre-emption isn’t related to election coverage, but holidays during Golden Week, a time when many families travel because of consecutive work and school holidays. tvN announced that Chicago Typewriter won’t air as scheduled this Friday and Saturday, May 5-6, and will instead air a special episode on Saturday that includes new behind-the-scenes footage narrated by Go Kyung-pyo. Episodes 9 and 10 will then air the following weekend, May 12-13."

we must be watching different dramas. If there are no against-the-wall kisses and wrist grabbing (double for bonus points) in every second scene, it doesn't mean there's no romance (let alone 'true' romance)... It's the opposite, this drama shows a tendency to pair everyone or at least motivate someone's actions by unrequired or suppressed feelings.

1. Is anyone else dissappointed that Jae Bok and Jung Hee never admitted their marriage was breaking apart, with…
Oh, I enjoyed it too, and watched it every week the day it aired. I never saw a kdrama this sneaky. It knew where it heads, it was trolling with a viewer leading him/her astray repeatedly. The characters were well developed and rounded up. Even those who started as unlikable won me over. Some of them, like Eun Hee and Jung Hee, were unpredictable yet consistent if that makes any sense.
I wish it was even better and tighter, but it''s definitely a memorable drama.
But what was its value during most of the show became a hindrance towards the end. EH and JH we constantly going lower and crazier, but there was no breaking point in their characters until the very end. (Similarily with Brian and his father - it makes sense they were either in denial or covering things up instead of fixing them, and it makes sense they didn't need to change.) Towards the end the craziness and plot twists stacked up to overtop the pace established earlier, but I was already desensitized. Especially the finale was just too much. It made sense that Eun Hee didn't have a coherent plan afterall, she was derranged, but the show tried to much to be suspensful and scary. I need to digest it yet.

I think Jung Hee had it the worst. His wife didn't respect him, his lover was killed by a psycho, who also…
What's there to respect him for? He was an agreeable man when life was easy on him, but hardships brought the worst out of him. I daresay he brought this on himself. Nobody forced him to fall for Nami, sneak around, stay indecided who would he rather be with, shamelessly and stupidly try to trick an unhinged woman, expect that he'd keep the privileges she supplied him even without her and so on.
His lover ended up dead (twice). So did his stalker eventually. He became free and back in the music business. Hardly a bad ending for him.
But who wouldn't like to have a respectful wife, alive lover and a devoted fan who knows her place. That's how it's supposed to be.
And a music room. He deserves that.

1. Is anyone else dissappointed that Jae Bok and Jung Hee never admitted their marriage was breaking apart, with or without Nami and Eun Hee (unless they did and I missed that part)? It's not like Eun Hee stalking and pulling strings was the cause of everything bad in their lives. The drama was clear about it at the begginig, showing JB attitude (who didn't thought, even for a moment, as ugly as it is, 'I can see why he cheats on her'?) but it was abandonded towards the end. The shift between their happy lives and later misery was too abrupt, and the previous part only more idealized later.
2. Most underused character >> Brian (bonus points for off-the-screen revelation-induced character development and also off-the-screen reverting back to status quo). I never expected to actually see the father though! That took me by surprise after all that hiding.
3. It could have ended at ep 18 (although it made sense to show how traumatised and shaken JB was after all that) or even be compressed into 16-14 episodes, but would we have things like episode 12 then? I have to admit I was skipping some scenes in early episodes and more towards the end, so for me it adds to ca 16-18 episodes anyway. So as fitting as the ending was (with broken JB, kinda-repenting JH and Eun Hee's family not changed a bit), it was tedious to watch and ran in cricles to get to the final point.
JB was irreal. I loved how confrontational she was, both as a person and plot-wise, because it cut potential dragging misunderstandings and angsts. But she felt far too responsible for JH and EH. Any sane person would cut all the ties ages before. Or maybe it's just me. So her sense of responsibility served the same purpose plot-wise as usual timidness would - it kept the show rolling.
4. Lee Yoo Ri's repeated appearences - is their the point other than adding to general eeriness?
5. Show, you don't leave a character hanging on the last scene with him dragged into a van never to be heard of again. Is he dead? Is he well off somewhere warm, enjoying EH's money? We'll never know.
6. And what's with those Disney clothes hanging in the office. (see point 4).

Is it worth watching it just for Lee Won Geun??
He has quite a lot of screentime if that's what you ask.
He plays a young, low-ranked police officer soon to be paired with the demoted male lead. He quickly recognizes heroine's abilities and asks for her help solving cases or helps her participate. Not sure whether it heads towards puppy crush or he just has a sweet personality.

On The Flower in Prison Apr 30, 2017
I'm determined to finish this one day, but the drag is real. I wish it was 30 episode drama instead of 50. It's repetitive and predictable. A plan is interrupted or someone gets falsely accused and you can safely fastforward two episodes to see the situation cleared out only to complicate again. Rinse and repeat. The directig style seems dated too: when a scene ends, a camera lingers on someone's face showing how s/he makes this exaggerated expression shift for a few seconds.
I also wish the king was introduced sooner.

The synopsis doesn't give the plot justice, because there's so much more going on. The girl was raised in a prison, became a warden, trained for a spy, failed to became a policewoman, was an entrepreneur and helped or run countless small businesses and schemes. She was also trained in astrology or something and posed as a shaman. The list can go on and on. And there's a birth secret of course. I'm around episode 36 and Waeji-bu wasn't even mentioned yet. So don't expect a legal procedural, as the synopsis hints.
