Let down badly by the ending
If there's one thing I don't like about shows, it's unravelling a character's primary motivations and goals with some weak storytelling. There was a tension built early into this story because of Chae Soo-bin's character having a dream that would put her at odds with anyone wanting to be in a relationship with her. The show had a potential to see it through and deliver something with a beautiful ending but instead concluded tamely. I really could not get my head wrapped around how easily the show got around this.
Unfortunately the male lead was also very hard to like. I was glad he got a haircut but that barely improved my opinion of him. He went back on his word to Chae Soo-bin's character in terms of respecting her wishes and for the life of me, I cannot bear characters who have an everlasting capacity to suffer with dignity and honour. No-one behaves like this in real life without appearing like an ant beneath a boot. By the end it was hard to root for him.
To be honest, the premise of the show was interesting and offered an insight into the socioeconomic dynamics of how big power can be fought through collective organising. That was pretty cool. But that was about it.
