BOO

Rant review incoming:
With all due disrespect, fuck that ending. I had such high hopes because I was absolutely in love with this drama during the first 10 episodes. It obviously still had its faults and was never going to be a 10 star, but I was hoping to give it maybe an 8.5 rating. No. Hell no. I’d like to erase the last few episodes from my memory because at some point a little after the halfway point of the drama, things slowed down dramatically, random conflicts were created just to get the drama to a 16 episode mark, and the show became unbearable to watch. After all the shenanigans where Heo Im was getting accustomed to his new life came to a neat close and the romance took off, the drama started absolutely sucking. It’s taking everything in me to not rate this drama lower than this (because honestly speaking those first ~10 episodes were amazing and the bad ending shoudln’t take away from the show’s good parts) but that ending was absolute horse shit. The way they just decided to randomly separate FOREVER without any intention to get back together which is just SERIOUSLY! You’re in love with this person and you just decided like “yeah ok I guess we don’t belong together because he’s from the past and even though nothing is technically forcing him to go back, I’ll still make him go back so that he can save a bunch of people at war as if he’s the only doctor in all of Joseon or as if it’s any of his business at all. And then instead of coming back as soon as the war's over I think he should just stay there forever since we're just NOT MEANT TO BE” It just felt like the lamest, least convincing excuse ever for them to be depressed and pining for one another and despite being fully capable of living together peacefully, they still decide to stick to their own timelines because Mrs. Kdrama writer said so and because “He BeLoNgS iN JoSeoN.” Bullshit. If that wasn’t enough, the reason he came back to her wasn’t even intentional to begin with. It was literally an accident and even though he was feeling sad just a few moments ago about his lost love, we all know damn well he wouldn’t have done shit about it. And then suddenly he finds her and acts like all his life’s problems are solved and all his past bullshit reasons for staying away don’t even matter anymore. Bye. Just bye.
