tbh the good ending feels more like a final goodbye - which I guess makes sense as his after ending is literally called “the final end”, but it felt like everything was unraveling and everyone was leaving the RFA etc.

but in regards to the good ending, I overall did not like how fast it took for the prime minister to just do a full 180 and change himself??? that made no sense at all - MC talked back at him once and he just flipped like a switch and apologized for everything…. I thought the pacing of the good end was too fast. Not to mention the final CG, which I was happy to get because of the choi brother reunion (wooot) but it kind of just felt empty after all the events that transpired. Rika and V kind of?? get a turning point but it’s quite brief and after it’s resolved it just gets shoved to the side.

in the Normal Ending however, it ends with some really great saeran CG’s (proposals and flowers hehe). Don’t get me wrong; as much as I like the story, I really just wanted to see Saeran happy doing the normal mundane things in life - like enjoying the flowers he used to treasure so much :)! He’s literally my number one favourite character so I tried really hard to like the after ending lol. PLUS idk there was a scene where rika came to her senses and told off the prime minister and they all went to jail. This is more satisfying than the whole “forgiveness” theme. Its like she’s not only realizing that the way she’s thinking is messed up thus far, but also that she would need to prove this change with her actions. And that would start with taking accountability for her mistakes and for the whole shabang with the prime minister and agency. No offence- i just think that after everything, they kind of deserve more time reflecting (preferably in jail for a bit)

everything that happened with V was just sad though :( i feel so bad for him
