The ending was so bad that it startled me at night when I thought of the series.

For some episodes before the final one Goddess of Fire had been putting out unnecessary events that didn't make sense, but once I saw the "finale" it was easier to tell that they were all preparations to accommodate (really awkwardly) the ending that the writers had, somewhat stubbornly, pre-designed in mind.How this ending actually takes place, though, is unbelievably rushed, deficient and downright dissatisfying. Somehow, the last episode manages to make up a bad ending for everyone, and by that I don't mean that the ending is bad for each character (although for most of them it is). I mean that all are very poorly executed, which can be remarkable considering the drama had +32 hours to spend. I guess that, despite being way more reasonable than the actual result, there's no "many episodes=lots of room to develop a proper conclusion" logic at work here. I don't regret watching Jung Yi (it had boring parts more or less in equal measure to the enjoyable ones, and most importantly all related to pottery was offered with high-quality, hard-to-find detail), but ugh, those were some hard-to-swallow last ten minutes. The annoying aftertaste definitely didn't go away immediately.

Okay let me just... let me just get this straight. I just watched 32 hours of a drama which is meant to be about the first female Joseon ceramics who gets kidnapped and taken to Japan, later becoming one of the most talented ceramists ofthe time... and that entire plot boiled down to a ten minute time skip at the end of the last episode. Wow.
I mean the drama was good, although I did start skipping parts, but these last couple of episodes just felt rushed. I would have preferred it if we'd had less competitions and maybe more kidnapping? But that's just my opinion. This episode had good parts, like the reconciliation between her and her half-brother or the self sacrifice she showed. But otherwise had a very disappointing ending. Which is a shame...

Oh yeah, basically all the other characters I like die... apart from Grampa Moon. Doh.

This was not a master piece in the first place, the drama lacked a lot of aspect in dramadom (my shortcut for drama-kingdom) it also fell short in a couple of place. But that would come out in my over all review for this drama later on.

This episode was such a sucker for fast pace. I detest the king for his actions, I like how the bad guys ended up. They deserved what were due to them, but there were still a LOT of unclosed issue and I hate that. There wasn't much closure for Jung-yi. They could have at least shown her in the end on how she was doing in japan as a ceramist. That was a major bummer for me.

As much as I enjoyed this episode - yeah I cried because I knew it was the end. It's still not something I would want to rewatch, but I am definitely recommending this to my old folks who are way much into sageuk more than I am. heh.
