So, what are we all watching this week?
What kept you reaching for more (or agonizing when there was no more), and what made you want to throw your remote through the screen? Time to weigh in…

My Happy Ending: I am no longer enjoying this show at all. It has neatly spiraled into something that is nearly unwatchable. There is no attention paid to the actual characters or emotions of the story. I am disappointed, frustrated, let down. But I will finish it. Because what if they do something crazy and surprise me with actual character development for Lee Ki-taek in the final two episodes?!
Marry My Husband: Complaints (*cough* Yoo-ra) aside, I loved this ending. I loved how magical it was, and how it took its time to show us a true happily ever after. The main thread of a happy, meaningful life carried through the drama in such a lovely way, and I actually found it quite moving to contrast the misery and isolation of Ji-won’s original life to the joy and connection she’s able to experience by the end. (Also, everyone deserves to be loved the way Ji-hyuk loved her.)

Marry My Husband: I caught up in time for the finale! And what a delightful trainwreck it was. Admittedly, I got a little less interested in the story when the Yoo-ra character became so central (and the drama was one episode too long for me), but they hit every trope at a breakneck pace and I couldn’t turn away. I feel like there was a good balance of light and dark (or happy and crazy) all the way through. And even though a little part of me wants to complain about a few things, I can’t bring myself to do it. Overall, this was exactly what I needed right now. Plus, Na In-woo — I wasn’t really paying attention to him before, but I sure am now.
