SO GOOD exept the very end

I loved it so much at first !! One of the funniest drama for me, So Yong / Bong Hwan kicks ass and is so entertaining. The acting is flawless, the side characters are amazing.

But the ending made no sense to me... We don't know the real so yong, she is not the main character nor the one we get attached to during the whole show. Seems to me like they just wanted to avoid the gay part of the story at the end by blaming everything on hormones or something like that and that they didn't know what to do about real-so-yong's soul wandering alone... It also makes no sense bc it's not a happy ending they want it to be : CheolJong didn't fall in love with real-so-yong. How many time until he realizes that the queen is not the witty and arrogant woman he loves ? Or even worse, if he doesn't realize then the whole love story falls appart.. It's a cruel situation for him but also for Bong Hwan who wanted to stay and fell hard for CheolJong but then in a heartbeat is just satisfied to be set aside and go back to his old life as if nothing happpened... He was also exited to have his baby and so attached to it and then what ? Nothing ? We just see him happy that history changed a bit and that's it. What a heartbreacking twist. The ending really tarnish the show in my opinion because it turns a fantastic story into the background of a dull relationship... Kinda feels like the writers chickened out at the end to avoid writing a gay story...

If it was not for that, perfect !!

Horrible horrible story..... just sexual assault after sexual assault

TW RAPE :

wtffffff ??? I don't understand how the writers could even think they did a show blaming homophobia. How can you fight the stereotype that gay men are sexual predators by having a main character who is a fucking rapist and presenting that without any criticism whatsoever ??? Nothing that he does is ok. People being homophobic is not an excuse to rape them. It's even more heartbrecking to watch in regard of the history of rape of the other guy.
I dropped it because it seemed highly toxic on so many levels. As a queer person and a victim on rape this was really hard to watch and very upsetting.

Only good point : the acting was good.
