Persist Until the End (2024)

When the product does not meet specifications

Tbh, my first reason to watch this drama was Kang Ki Young. He has been very good in support roles and him finally getting a lead role was something I was looking forward to. The other, the title and trailer promised an iconic show. It is unfortunate that what the show promised isn't what the show delivered.

The pilot episode did not disappoint. It was exactly what the show promised a divorce expert who will help you reach your goal by all means necessary because she can relate to her clients. And unfortunately that is where we stop seeing that. Sera is supposed to be a divorce specialist who also want revenge on her ex-husband and will stop at nothing to get back at him and most importantly get back her son. But she only spends less than half the show actually carrying out that revenge because before that she is all talk and no action about revenge. So the show heavily focused on her being a divorce specialist more than the revenge plot. Sure it does come in later but it's execution is just so painfully mid it makes you contemplate why you're wasting time.

Tbh sometimes the acting felt bland. Idk if I should blame the writer or the actors/actresses or both but it just wasn't hitting. There was a period of time during the series where in it felt more like a game show with a new contestant every episode to see how good this divorce specialist team is and nothing else. What I mean is it was just about solving the cases with occasional reminders that btw Sera wants revenge and that was the only thing that served an episode connector. The support cast was not explored in detail, heck even the leads. So nothing much about them other than the plot makes you sympathize.
I mean I guess Dea Ki, Jang Mi and Bom helped make the show interesting sometimes but 🤦‍♀️

I guess I am glad it was short and it has ended...

Comence esta serie porque salia Kang Ki Young y me encanta el actor. El problema de la serie es la falta de inconsistencia en la trama asi como la actuación pesima de Lee Ji Ah. Comencé pensando que iba a ser mas romcom y ha habido episodios sobretodo los primeros muy oscuros para el estilo de serie que esperaba. No ha habido casi comedia y los momentos de comedia, no hacian mucha gracia. La historia como digo no se sostiene, si eres una abogada es de primero saber que estas leyendo y con mas inri si luego vas a tener que firmar ese documento. Es que los primeros capitulos de como la meten a la carcel me parece que es tonta y demasiado sumisa . Nunca le dice nada a la directora ni a su marido. Los casos que hace como especialista del divorcio trama simple e inverosimil . La unica que me ha gustado de la agencia ha sido el personaje que hacia la actriz Kim Sun Young.
Los estillismos (odio todas las escenas que lleva pantalones cortos y si a eso le sumas una camiseta que la tienen que pixelar para que no se vea la marca con unos tacones y CALCETINES, tienes un look desastroso , perfecto para la protagonista) asi como las decisiones de Kim Sa Ra no me han gustado y me replanteaban porque seguia viendo la serie , por mucho que este Kang Ki Young y su actuación maravillosa no quita que habia muchas cosas sinsentido en la trama. (porque no se caso con Dong Ki Joon pero si con No Yool Sung) .
Gracias a las actuaciones de Kang Ki Young, Kim Sun Young y Na Young Hee por hacer algo mejor la trama.

P.D: Seo Hye Won por fin tu personaje se casa con el chico que quiere y no se muere o es una segundona.

Fresh and interesting

Though I've longed for it, I thought I'd never see the day with Kang Kiyoung as male lead and from the first episodes of this drama, he deserves to be one.

The drama is about a lawyer who lost everything, including her son, after being cheated by her husband and mother in law. She now works as a divorce resolver to help those who are going through unfair divorces. She also has to work with prosecutor-turned-lawyer Dong Kijoon, her former lover that she left to marry into money.

I'm quite surprised by how much I like the leads. The FL is by no means perfect but she doesn't deserve the treatment she got from her husband and mother in law. As the show progresses, she kept showing her resilience and practicality. Meanwhile, the ML is no pushover, he's a quick thinker and does not dilly dally with his decisions. Their chemistry is also good, they have that former lovers that haven't gotten over each other vibe going on and I'm excited to see them getting back together.

I love legal drama

2 eps were good. I had fun. I knew when they feel akward at each other there was a reason and it was because of some love story that would prolly be explained on a flashback. This deserves more eps like until 16. If this isnt on going i would prolly finish this in one sitting. 2 eps were good. I had fun.

Too many problems to list

I started this because the trailers made this drama look like a badass revenge story (and it had Kang Ki Young in it), but only the first third of the drama held any of my interest. The acting was pretty good, but they suffered from terrible writing. You could tell the writers only made half of an attempt at fleshing out their story.

I only stayed for Kang Ki Young and the Solution couple. I just started skipping through the last few episodes because it was the same recycled plot as the first half of the drama.

The bad writing caused so many issues with the characters. No Yool Sung had a really strong start as a villain, but he just dissolved into a boring rich guy with mommy issues and a violent temper. The FL was so inconsistent as a character. She was so hesitant and weak, and, five minutes later, she was kicking someone in the face.

The cast deserved better.
