The cracks in Yoo's body are supposed to deepen/more will appear when he uses his ghost powers but that would probably mean going poof after doing something big like saving Se Ju from falling to his death and I was thinking that Yoo would hang in there until after he comes to grips with his death.

Also idk what it is but I haven't been enjoying the show as much as I used to the past two weeks. Before there wasn't a whole lot of plot stuff going on and back then while I was liking the show I wanted more conflict/more action in general but now that there is it like I don't know what to focus on or something?

Thinking about it more I think that the current day stuff isn't doing anything for me anymore. Like I know they're there to bring the show to a climax or whatever but Seol's, Tae Min, and the dead stalker's sister are all annoying to me and I just want them to go away already.

Before Tae Min, while clearly not right in the head, was just a part of what I saw as family drama which was more normal than whatever is going on now. The whole stalker stuff was a part of Se Ju's career stuff which is also pretty normal and now it's a part of a ridiculous revenge plot that includes plans of murder.

The show was never grounded completely in reality obviously but the part of the show that was entirely surreal to me is know a bit over the top.

The last episode was a little weak this go around. I've seen people complaining about the show being too slow but I honestly think the show is best when it's mostly just character interactions and not too heavy on plot. My heart still fucking breaks for Yoo Jin Oh though. I hope he gets a satisfying conclusion before he dissolves or whatever happens when those cracks grow.

the writing, the hair style and the lack of Chemistry of the leads make this drama a flop.
