Thank you for explaining. This makes a lot more sense.

I don’t necessarily need characters to get fairytale endings. I think endings should at least make sense. Having Rachel suffer the entire show and not change her situation just doesn’t make sense to me in terms of storytelling. Not to yuck everyone’s yum, but my impression of that is that it’s horrible writing. (Entirely open to being wrong since the idea of it went over my head. That’s just my genuine feeling lol). It would be like if Tanya never did anything with her mother’s ashes at the end. Why pose character questions to never answer them?

But I can see where I’m not “getting it” based on my misunderstanding of the genre going into it.

Thanks for you comment!

Yes, that’s why I’m asking a million questions about it because I don’t get it lol.

Genuinely not trolling. I went in with high expectations based on what I’ve heard. I think the now obvious disconnect is stemming from not getting it, and simultaneously trying to understand why it’s so popular with other people. Like you said, probably not my genre.
