So much lost potencial and a lot of frustration

It started off so strong, with so much potencial, and I guess that's what frustrated me the most.

The main characters are the least interesting characters on the show (at some point I was almost sure they forgot to write the character of Jeong-Ha and she was just serving as a plot point for others) and you see yourself waiting and cheering on for secondary plots and arcs.

Speaking of plots... there are so many of them that start out of nowhere and end - or better said, vanish! - even more out of the blue. It's palpable that they're only there to move the story somewhere and they barely serve their purpose.

Because of all the frustration of undeveloped characters, meaningless plots and overall frustration, I procrastinated watching the episodes as the series went on and only kept going because I thought there would be more to the story. But it goes nowhere and then it ends kind of abruptly on the 15th episode, which is why I didn't even want to watch the finale.

A few weeks later I decided to give it a go and I'm actually happy I did. Although very cliché, it ends nicely, with heart warming scenes and characters finding themselves. I could say my goodbyes to the show on a nicer note, which I liked... But would I go through everything again or even recommend that someone start this show? Absolutely not.
