Am I the only one who is a little bit underwhelmed by this end....like I was expecting some big showdown, but instead *SPOILERS AHEAD*

chairman Kim dies off screen and the revenge against Myungshin is purely just him failing to steal someone's man and then being told he'll be blacklisted.

Idk I just thought the story was SO good but felt like the revenge itself was kinda meh.

    I think that's the whole point of it, the mc wanted his revenge to be like some sort of big showdown, but along the way he found himself and forgave himself in a way.

    As he said during his revenge, he felt empty. It wasn't about making the other guys life he'll or making him suffer anymore.

    I understand all that...but as a reader I was still disappointed. And season 3 was also shorter than the other seasons as well.

    i get it but the artist is just adapting the novel its not like they can add fillers ... but i understand your point

    Exactly what i was thinking, i felt out of place reading the positive comments but truely this ending is disappointing to say the least, the couple are kinda distant or only intimate in lolita scenes, the biggest villain died in a stupid way AND in a flash back scene, the blondie shit should’ve suffered more and the gaint gangster ran away with his doings, the company thing was boring tbh and felt so slow with no much drama, idk many things could’ve gone in a better direction in my humble opinion

    I understand what you are saying— but going in another direction would completely miss the point of the story. This is a character driven story, and it was never about getting revenge. The mc realises this too in the latest chapter, and in doing so the readers too. So I feel that this is a suitable ending.

    And the two characters relationship isn't supposed to be like stereotypical 'love', lovey dovey doki doki all that. The antagonists deaths was pretty interesting, since it was hinted about his disease and etc.

    However, we are all entitled to our opinions, and I respect that.

    Yeah I quite literally had no idea this was the ending, I thought this was like mid-season. I went to the comments and saw everyone raving about the revenge and talking about how this was second to last chapter and I was genuinely surprised because it didn't feel like an ending to me. And the season was so short too.

    I understand people saying that this was the point, that the revenge wasn't the focus of the story and I agree with that, however as a reader, I just wish there was a little bit more to it.
