Finally, on the identitity of RC…I ended up feeling very underwhelmed. We all knew who he was at this point, and the fact that he seemed to have nothing to justify himself other than ‘I was angry’ made everything all the more…meh.
I mean, I was 100% with JH when he called seonbae out on coercing EH to commit murder. Bc that is straight up what he did, and I am still furious about it. If he was so angry at all the villains in the world, he could’ve gone and got his hands dirty himself, not drag someone so young and weak to suggestions into it.
I honestly wish JH had brought it up again after the second arrest, bc I cannot stand how seonbae never even seemed sorry about it. The story has informed me that he must’ve been sad when EH died, but I sure didn’t see any sadness. All I saw was guilt and rage and self-righteousness.
In that aspect, RC is hardly different from stepmum.
I disliked the ending. It was incredibly rushed as if they had hoped for an episode extension. For a drama that had made every word every person uttered important the final episode was a mess. I couldn’t believe that RC only started this because of his brother, he looks more ruthless than that, and it was a blatant plothole that he only took Siwan and WK’s cases and the rest was EH. We saw that EH has an alibi.
The plottings against RC were childish, and the little sister mystery answer seemed dumb. Red Cry arrest was anti-climatic to say the least, and the stepmother storyline was completely unsatisfactory. I would have been ok if we got no backstory on JH, but the way we did was quite dismissive and doesn’t add up to his behaviour either. I am really disappointed.
Same, same. I briefly went over my problems with the ending here but I was also disappointed at how we’d gotten so many hints at a deeper backstory for both JH and SY only to get them waved off. The writing quality changed after EH died. I honestly wish the writer had just kept him as RC and spent the final eps exploring the main characters, instead of dragging out the mystery. It’s like the writer had different backstories planned in the beginning, then changed their mind when they realised they didn’t have enough time to address them.

“The writing quality changed after EH died”
Exactly!
