I read some of the reviews before I finished watching Episode 16 Finale. So my expectations
were low, but when I finished I had a smile on my face.

I read one comment saying this drama seemed like a fan pleasing story of the real Park Bo Gum. I somehow feel his career life showing his professionalism and his kindness and that his huge success has not changed the essence of who he is -- I hope that is true. If not, his acting is off the charts lol.

I especially loved the last scene in the ending montage where Park Bo Gum playing the resident doctor and gives that mischievous smile as he is walking out the door. That one moment made me a fan. I've only watched him in 2 dramas: Encounter which I could not finish and Hello Monster.

Back to the ending - it was an open ending but I like to think her wearing those sneakers a lot (they looked worn) with the adorable cartoon couple depicting the happiest moments of their relationship gave me hope for a reconciliation. I hope the writer will offer some clarity on her intention of that scene,

I do agree with another reviewer that there was a lot of wasted time with the reporter, the agent and Do Ha. That time could have been filled with followups on the characters that the writer spent writing time developing characters that we became invested in & grew to love . We definitely got shortchanged! Hae Yo is listed as a main lead! And some followup with Jinu & Haena would have been nice too. I'm going to lower my 8.0 because of being cut off mid story. Too me, that is not an ending if you do not tie up story lines. This is Writing 101, track the. arcs of your characters! They did not even get the benefit of open endings. Makes me appreciate even more the writing perfection of the Stranger & Stranger 2 writer.
