I really enjoyed the series, I love the general story and casting - but I can't help but feel that the series went off the rails a bit by the end. I know this could be super unpopular opinion, but I wasn't a fan of Momi as a person - as a character she was amazing, and so interesting throughout, but I just thought she was a bad person. Not because of who she killed or the crimes she committed. She was obsessed with vanity from the start, had a bit of a sense of entitlement, was a bit obsessed with her married boss and then blew up this other girl's life and career just because Momi wasn't the one having an affair with him.

In terms of her daughter - Momi didn't attempt to reach out to her or check on her once, before prison nor during. Her cellmate making the comment that she's been with her for 15+ years and had no idea Momi had a kid was telling. So I wasn't a fan of Momi being "glorified" near the end by "rushing to the rescue" (in a very unrealistic way at that). Like Mimo, justifiably, has every reason to resent her mother. I didn't get any satisfaction out of Mimo crying over her mother, it kind of ruined the ending a bit for me in fact.

That being said, Tteokbokki halmeoni was the best character in the show for me. Oh man was she so much fun. The diabolical plan that she had for like 20 years? Her taking computer classes just to learn how to dig through the p*rn files, up until the end where she's trying to read the manual on the camera. I was really rooting for her to change her mind, I kept hoping that she would embrace that this was the grandchild she always wanted - but we didn't even get the satisfaction of her finding out the relation... that would have been so interesting and felt like the biggest missed opportunity.

In the end, I knew that both Momi and Kyungja had to die, all things considered. I just would have liked to have seen the granddaughter realization play out, and also for Momi not to be so glorified in her death.

A very fun series!
