...It's not even just the plot anymore. The writing is just horrible. When you compare this entire season to the first season, it feels like someone else's writing entirely. The "angsty, emotional" drama doesn't land at all. The dialogue feels empty and cliché. The characters all feel like hollow, one-note caricatures of themselves. The sexual assault scene felt like unnecessary shock value for the readers rather than a true traumatic experience for Haebom and Taesung. It's just become out-of-character torture porn for the sake of being torture porn, and I don't think any "happy ending" is going to redeem the car wreck that has been this season. It never should have happened in the first place.
