Overall, I enjoyed this series. There was some nonsense filler but the main couple were a delight.

+ Bong-soon/Min Hyuk were wonderful as always. This felt like a very good end to their story.

+ I really loved that Bong-soon went full superhero at the end. Complete with the usual trouble at work and finding clever ways to hide her strength while helping people. I love that her high school gang was helping by finding problems for her to solve. I loved the high school girl's finding her awesome. "She's so cool" Yes. I loved that our last shot of her was her being a superhero and heading off to save people.

+ Them ending the series with twin daughters was great.

+ Min-hyuk and Mr. Do were so great in this episode. I loved their hug when Mr. Do walked Bong-soon to the altar. I loved their entire talk when Min-hyuk tried to convince him to return home. I love that his main reason was so that he could marry Bong-soon and how it turned into begging and whining. The little cheek smack he gave himself for saying he missed her especially at night, made me laugh.

+ I really liked the sweet Bong-soon/Mr. Do scene. I wish we'd gotten a final serious scene between Bong-soon and her mother. We got nothing from Mrs. Kwang on Bong-soon's powers returning and it would have been nice to.

+ I loved Mrs. Hwang's friends calling her on beating her husband and being terrible to him. It bothered me so much that it went unacknowledged and mostly condemned. Even more the reveal that she actually hadn't beat him (and never had) made me feel so much better about them. Pushing him isn't great but it is better than I thought. This has been a serious issue for me so I'm glad that they reversed it.

+ It was nice to see Mrs. Hwang behind the counter and working together with her husband, in a friendly way, for a change. I like that when Mi-hwa came in Mrs. Hwang wasn't nice but she also didn't get in her face or stop Mr. Bo from talking with her. It definitely feels like a step in the right direction for her and their relationship.

+ The whole family camping together was sweet. Min-hyuk now having the family he always lacked, them being so happy, was nice to see. Kyung-shim being there because she's a part of their family was great.

+ Overall I'd say I liked what was done with Dong-pyung. He was a bit too much at times (a lot) and some of the dramatics didn't work for me but I really liked that even with all those he was deeply respected in his job, considered one of the best in the business and him accepting Bong-soon's game and helping her to make it a success was a great moment.

+ I loved Bong-soon's high school gang confronting Min-hyuk to make sure he was good enough for their boss. It was sweet and he looked so aggrieved which amused me a lot. I love the idea that he's going to have to deal with them for years. I wish they'd shown up at the wedding.

+ The fact that Guk-doo hadn't realised that Bong-soon had a crush on him because he was so overwhelmed by his own feelings for her is vaguely unbelievable but mostly really sad and kind of tragic.

+ The Bong-ki/Guk-doo scene was nice but also a little annoying because despite being told they were friends this feels like the first scene we've ever gotten between them where they were being friends.

+ I'm rather sad that Duk-doo got transferred to a different station. This whole series was him finding his place there and him bonding with his coworkers and being accepted was a huge moment in his storyline. I also would have much rather had Duk-doo as Bong-soon's friendly police contact for her superheroing.

+ When the judge was talking about the effect Jang-hyun had I wish we'd seen the three women together in the hospital, supporting each other, as a more hopeful end for them.

+ The wedding was really missing: a) grandma and b) a Bong-soon/Kyung-shim moment. Where the heck was grandma and why wasn't she at her granddaughter's wedding? Weird. Kyung-shim was actually there but I wanted an actual scene between them, or for her to have been with her family when they arrived.

+ Completely unremarked upon but I was surprised that none of Mrs. Hwang's brothers or their families ever turned up in the show. They were mentioned once but nothing more. Do none of them have daughters?

+ One major loose thread in the series was Min-hyuk's family and how him taking over his father's business was left unresolved. He seemed to agree to do it, with plans to fold Ainsoft into it, but then that plotline was dropped with the reveal of his blackmailer and then never picked up again. Did he decline the job off-screen? I was also a little surprised not to see any of his family at his wedding and that there was no hint in the later episodes of a reconciliation between them.
