I was anticipating such a terrible ending for Awaken (well I anticipated the whole drama went downhill from the beginning, tbh) that I actually liked how it ended!

Don’t get me wrong: the drama is full of tropes (all you can imagine) and plot holes the size of the Moon, but if you are a devoted follower of NGM, you will definitely enjoy it.

    Same here! I just finished watching the last episode a little while ago and I agree it wasn’t terrible! NGM was really good in those last minutes of the show.

      He was good all over the drama, and the ending made perfect sense to me.

      Don’t expect the drama to be something special, because it’s not. But I enjoyed every episode, not that I wanted to FF or something. But beware that there are lots of things that don’t ever get explained, and that is probably its main failure: the story goes on and leaves behind questions unanswered. But it’s a fun ride. I only can recommend it if you like NGM and you just want to have a good time watching something easy.

        Yes. Like you Eazal I enjoyed the ending and NGM’s performance.
        I don’t know about you but over the last couple of episodes NGM’s character Jung-woo started to remind me of his character in DOCTOR PRISONER. In DP he played an ant-hero which is not the case here but there was something about both characters trying to bring resolution to their trauma that struck me.

          I haven’t watched DP, but… guess which drama I will begin during the weekend because I need a weekly dose of NGM?
          I will let you know what I think about it!

            You are in for a treat. The writing and acting was superb. The drama settled in to become like a tennis match going back and forth between NGM and his nemesis played beautifully by Kim Byung-chul.

    I really wanted to catch up to it but sigh its over. I’ll watch it sometime over the year for sure. A NGM drama is never to be missed. Saw a few clips and I agree his look is great!
