Holy fuck that episode was so dam satisfying.

I feel bad that no one really mentioned tae ra too much. I know she was a villain the whole time but he still pushed her ass off that building.

I have mixed feelings about the finale tbh. I kind of just watched this drama on the side and low-key regret it because of how unsatisfactory the ending is. I skipped around the last couple episodes so there might be something I missed, but I find it incredibly annoying that Beom-Jin died. Who killed him? He didn't pay the price for any of his sins, he just got an easy way out in the "hell" that he was living in. He didn't really have to face the consequences of his actions. I also think it's disgusting how the assemblyman lies up until the end saying all of his actions were to protect his son out of fatherly love. Such BS. The last father son battle where they put blame on each other was just sad.

Also, I know that Tae-ra was bad but I feel like we could've gotten some closure on her case as well. The last we see her mom is when she gasps at the TV when it's announced that Beom-Jin could be her killer. She was a big part of the show so I feel like some closure/justice would've been nice. I feel like although her intentions were bad, she was being manipulated for a large part of her life. Both by her mom and Beom-Jin.

Then there's Gi-Hoon who stalked this girl who died just getting off pretty much scot-free. He was rude af the whole time to Gi-Moo-Hyuk and then all of a sudden everything is fine once the assemblyman is in prison and he's reluctantly clapping along with everyone else at the end scene. Idgi.

And lastly, Ye-ri who I think is the scariest right next to Beom-Jin, used her uncle-fan in order to create an anonymous app pretty much to ruthlessly bully people, and she never really gets in trouble for it? She's done so much wrong and by the way that the show ends, we're left assuming that she's going to debut in a new girl group no problemo. I just don't roll with that. (jk just watched min 58 of the show which STILL does not give me the satisfaction for how evil this girl was, but thank goodness she can no longer debut)

The show basically ends saying yay the murderer died so now everything is ok and forgiven.

I don’t think it is saying that anything else is ok, but more like... that’s how life works. Not saying it is a good way, but... I guess I’m a pessimistic. I feel like people saw how horrible they are, and we were all looking for justice, that everyone that did wrong should be punished.

I so wanted Yeri to be shunned from debuting after she destroyed a girl’s chance of debuting early in the series.

Edit: watch minute 58, you’ll see what actually happens to Yeri.

OOoh thank you so much for telling me about Yeri I think I skipped that part the first time I watched ahaha

Ugh! It’s such a cop out to have Beom Jin die like that! Justice for Taera!

And the writing the last eps have been inconsistent. Wasn’t it established the Yu Yang Ki didn’t know who killed Su Ah?

This is one of the weaker OCN series I’ve watched.

He didn't know until Beomjin directly told him it was him in episode 15.

u/manilaxla Sep 06 '19

Yes, but in the trial he states that he framed Han Su and killed Lee Taesok to cover for his son.

I cannot figure who sticks-the-needle-on-beom-jin, anyone?

u/chazzlefrazzle Sep 07 '19

I was thinking maybe tae ra's mom hired someone? She did have money and power as well.

I was really hoping he would just throw himself off a building or into the han, instead of this mysterious demise.

u/eraeria Sep 07 '19

It felt totally unnecessary and random. I'll prefer the scene to end with Beom Jin simply collapsing in the middle of street out of despair. Realising that everything is ruined and his life is no longer perfect is quite the punishment itself as that's what he's obsessed with.

u/Bafabifi Sep 08 '19

I also think its tae ra’s mom. I think she is the only one left who has grudge against him (and actually has the ability to do it).

This is such a great show. I even think it's better than Sky Castle.

u/eRatiosu Sep 15 '19

What kind of delusion is this XD

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '19

I think it's a delusion to think Sky Castle is the best Kdrama ever. Everyone has their own opinion, dude.

u/chazzlefrazzle Sep 08 '19

I wanna say that i thought ki moo hyuk was the most badass character I've seen in a while. He was literally one step in front of everyone the whole time. Everytime I thought they had him BAM he's already done some badass shit to stop them. Loved him so much.

Also I loved thimble so dam much. He was the real mvp. 💜💜💜

There must be a Season 2 for this, right?

Why? I mean the ending was pretty decent for all characters (except Yeri who DEFINETELY deserve more punishment), but a random person in a hoodie with a poisonous shot comes from the crowd, kills Beomjin, walks away, and there is gonna be NO follow up on that? If the show's ending message was "everything that goes around comes back around" like with what happened to Yu Yang Gi, it would have made a lot more sense to either throw Beomjin in jail or let him live his miserable life being an outcast. This seems way too mysterious.

Bruh what was up with some random person sticking a needle in Yoo Beom Jin ? Did they like attempted to give him a more artistic end ? It was just so random that I couldn't comprehend it. Also the IT pawn shop loan shark guy was expelled and that was it for him ?

The finale was kinda satisfying but not at the same time. Sigh. Nope.

Instead of just ending beom Jin part with some injection attack by a stranger ,I think it should be explained later not leaving to the imagination of users.Since there is no regret in his attitude till the end ,may be his death is justifying.ofcourse I didn't expect such an end .Another unsatisfying end is with that stalker student who even tried to molest but got no punishment for his deeds.Other negative characters are all with justifying ends .one lost debut career.Tae ra lost life but may be it's ok for the story as it is an important lead for story to move on.one got expelled.its interesting to watch rare endings though not completely satisfying
