iariaThe final episode was only okay but overall I really enjoyed this series, and am glad I watched it.
+ Honestly the biggest negative was that they really killed Ma-pi. This show is mostly lighthearted. We know how dangerous Mi-ran and Wi-je are and didn't really need one of our heroes to die in order to up the stakes. I rarely want a character I care for to die but it can absolutely work for me regardless. In this case not so much. Him actually dying is like a discordant note in the show. They could have simply had him seriously injured and in the hospital. In the one year time skip we should have had Ju-sung taking care of Min-ah, or getting to listen to her read him the story.
+ Poor In-sung being upset to realise that the connection he thought he'd formed with Sun-joo wasn't real, that it wasn't Sun-joo at all.
+ I don't know that I believe Wi-je would turn on Mi-ran that quickly and easily. Even learning that she set him up. He really seemed to be the level of devoted that's unshakable.
+ I love that Hyun-ho got a chance to do his own acting and played a part in taking down the bad guys. I loved In-sung being impressed with his acting.
+ I liked that they decided to work with Detective Choi and how thoroughly they destroyed Mi-ran. They really managed to cover all angles. And making it all live and public was perfect.
+ I liked how Se-yeon's random baseball player pick ended up being a winner.
+ I liked seeing In-sung's parents sitting beside Se-yeon's mother's carers and bragging about their son.
+ In-sung was honestly doing so great at being the CEO of Silver Lining that I'm a little disappointed he left it. We only just got In-sung given back the role with compliments and happiness. For him to turn around and abandon the role, during a time or crisis and when Sun-joo isn't even there to take it back felt a little lacking to me.
Him getting to once again try at his dream job of being an actor, and getting to start finding success at it makes me happy for him. I just wish it was him acting part time while also being CEO until Sun-joo wakes up.
+ We get no confirmation either way but I hope that In-sung (and Se-yeon) continued to live at Sun-joo's house and help take care of Min-ah. If they moved out it would feel even more like their little made family didn't last, and that's too sad.
+ I'm glad that In-sung and Se-yeon got together. While I didn't actively ship them I did like them and thought they were cute.
+ Baro 4.0 not permanently deleting itself was a great reveal. Was it Min-ah's pleading that changed it's mind? Or did after deleting itself from the phone did it find itself missing them?
+ I loved Baro's "peekabooo" when In-sung uncovered the phone. The exchange afterwards and silliness was all very cute.
+ I like that Sun-joo didn't conveniently wake up but they also left open the possibility of it happening in the near future. When he does wake everything is going to be so weird for him lol. I'm rather fascinated about how his relationship with In-sung and Baro 4.0 would work.
