Disappointment at the last second

Episodes 1-11 were an incredible series. The finale destroyed everything it was working towards. The message becomes meaningless, the development pointless, all for a feel good ending that only feels good for the able-bodied.

The series really seemed like it wouldn’t go this direction, and we all had trust in a talented director to not sully everything the story worked towards. But in the end, a time skip heals all, Mhok’s trauma is swept aside, and Day gets magically cured of his disability after spending 11 episodes proving that disabled people too can live happy independent lives and find love. Being cured is his “happy ending”. What a message to send to those who will never find a cure.

WARNING: This series contains the MAGICALLY CURED DISABILITY TROPE.
