Everything thrown away.....

Possible spoilers but I'll try to be as vague as possible. I really really enjoyed the first half of this drama, it was so refreshing and realistic to the point of making a lot of viewer's relive their past experiences. The soundtrack, chef's kiss*, the cinematography beautiful! Shot with the female gaze, very soft and though this drama may be more risque than what we're used to in kdramas even intimate scenes are shot tastefully. If i could rate the first half separately I would give it an 7.5 out of 10, in my opinion the first episode is the best one, I could rewatch it again and again and I think it does a good job at setting the scene for the characters and almost feeling chilling in a weird way because it hits too close to home. After the first episode we sorts get into the "this sounds like a bad fanfiction" territory and some of the writing could have been better but the plot was still interesting. The last 3-4 episodes just become a bore and drag along. But, the whole reason I even decided to write this review is because the last episode is atrocious, they took it in a completely unrealistic direction and in my opinion it ends up being almost gross and pathetic to watch. I've seen a lot of anticlimactic or unsatisfying endings but this one just left me scratching my head and frustrated. I feel like I wasted my time watching the show, had they not included one particular reveal towards the end I could have said "okay, kinda boring and I wish they went a different direction but I guess sometimes life works out that way". But nah, I have no idea why it ends the way it does and how the audience is expected to still understand the female lead. It felt rushed, it felt like they were so adamant about pushing this ending that they decided welp, forget being realistic, this will be how it ends no matter what even if it doesnt make sense lol I'd say skip this drama, its short but thats still 10 hours of your life. I'd say watch the first episode, and understand that not much happens after that.
