1. [+2,590, -13] A scriptwriter who started thinking they're hot sh*t basically smeared their own sh*t all over the original work and ended up with this mess of a drama
2. [+1,459, -126] In my 30+ years of life, I have never seen such a horrible ending, ever... No continuity, this delusional scriptwriter Kim Tae Hee turned the whole chaebol family into some criminal organization where even a succession is considered a devious act... Just how much have the legacies of Lee Byung Chul, Lee Gun Hee, and Lee Jae Yong done for our country.. I just.. I can't... I will never in my life watch another drama by Kim Tae Hee again! Never!!!!
3. [+978, -187] A good example of what you'll end up with in a drama with feminist and left-wing influence
4. [+673, -9] I remember viewers being up in arms over the dream ending of 'Lovers in Paris' so I was so sure that this drama wouldn't end as a dream, if anything to avoid the controversy of it all... but I never thought I'd be seeing the same dream ending dozens of years later...
5. [+386, -21] Let's do another ending next week with an extra episode
6. [+325, -1] If the scriptwriter didn't have it in her to come up with a better idea, all she had to do was follow the original work and she could've avoided all this controversy. It makes absolutely no sense that someone who got shot in the head and dove off a cliff has a higher chance of survival than someone who got into two accidents.
7. [+286, -1] How can the original be ruined this much... For a cable drama to hit 26% viewer ratings means practically the entire nation was watching it, and now the scriptwriter's sh*t smearing has caused the entire nation to go into uproar. These actors worked so hard to carry the drama with their talent and now it will be remembered as a terrible drama thanks to the sh*tshow the scriptwriter has put out. She should've realized that she doesn't have the skill to close out a drama of this scale and just gone with the original ending.
8. [+221, -4] The reason people go crazy for dramas is because dramas depict what's unrealistic in real life. Us viewers lived vicariously through a normal lead entering the life of a chaebol, predicting the future through his past, and competing against his enemy. To have the drama deem all of that a dream... that his life has been no different than the reality of us viewers... that leaves us with no feeling but emptiness. Why would anyone be satisfied with waking up from a joyful dream to our bleak morning reality?
9. [+199, -2] Because the scriptwriter changed the ending to suit herself, everything that happened when he was Jin Dojoon makes no sense now. All of the continuity has been severed. The ending as a dream makes no sense ㅋㅋㅋ amazing that the writer did this to such a great drama.
10. [+181, -1] This drama went from being the best drama of the year to the worst drama of the year thanks to the last episode
11. [+170, -2] This third rate writer with no skill at all really ruined a drama like this... Honestly, this drama would've been over without the talented cast backing it up all this time... I hope the writer apologizes to the original creator.
12. [+167, -2] The writer's entire point is that chaebols are the enemy, that's it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ the only thing inside her head is resentment for the rich ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
13. [+118, -3] The drama ended up being an anti-chaebol drama... and yet this writer dreams of becoming a chaebol herself by writing dramas about hating on chaebols
14. [+113, -4] The writer's greed of depicting chaebols as evil no matter what ruined the ending. I have no idea why she took on a drama with an original ending anyway.
15. [+98, -0] The writer really poured a bucket of her own sh*t onto the original work. Please apologize to the original creator.
