The Fool of the End (2024)

Not much happens in this show

Unlike the show, I won’t waste your time: after the first few episodes, it just drags on. It gets bogged down by (approximately) one thousand characters and long, pointless dialogue.

This meandering storytelling is in service of a weak, trope-laden narrative. Elites betraying the common people? Corruption in trusted institutions? Groundbreaking.

All this is set in a world that doesn’t make much sense. It is incredibly dangerous, except when it’s not. Goods are scarce and infrastructure is in disrepair, except when they’re not.

Save yourself: skip this.

How to ruin a promising drama.

I am seriously reflecting on what they did to this drama that had such a promising and interesting premise. Netflix should understand that the Western audience cares little about whether actor X or Y uses drugs or not. This kind of toxic and strange concern is something that affects Asian society. The intention to reduce Yoo Ah In's scenes harmed the flow of the drama and made the story lukewarm and even a bit boring.

It was painful to watch these episodes. I had to watch them little by little. I think I finished these 12 episodes in 60 days or more. And this open, mediocre, and senseless ending? Due to the low impact and the protagonist's situation with Korean justice, the chance of a second season is zero.

Watch the full episodes than you vote

Finish like that!!!!? 👀
Since it is Netflix, tell me there yet like a part 2 coming like a episode 13!!!!!!!
The drama was interesting, you have to watch all, not only ep 1 or 2. Don't pay attention to the ratings, also only around 554 people who votes!!!
But for me like I don't consider it like an end. Like ending like that, like that. And I remember also it says 10 days left soo.
I don't know if it is because of Yoo Ah. Yeah I know what he has done, but nevermind.
A bit of hopes, as on the information above it did not mention when it is ending only a ?.
Also I love the energy and friendships between the children, always here always together for helps.

Haphazard at times

June 2024
Google's "in a nutshell" description for this drama reads, "Unsettling, hopeless and cynical", which pretty much sums it up!

Whilst the cast and their acting, is really good, the script is all over the place.

The story keeps haphazardly jumping between the recent past (pre-asteroid) and present, with no warning and little reason for doing so, quite often. This can be confusing and at times I wasn't sure where we were, so to speak.

As news of the asteroid strike breaks and the subsequent countdown to impact begins, we of course see the worst coming out in many people.

From the wealthy and powerful leeching off the ordinary citizens in communities, to secure a way out of Korea (ground zero), to criminal gangs who see ways to make money and exploit the fact law and order has broken down, and it's swiftly become every man for themselves. They seem oblivious to the fact they'll never be able to spend it!

The reactions of some characters to decisions they make, are often inappropriate and/or baffling, given circumstances, reasons and situations. I found this frustrating and irritating.

It does also show a close knit community as well, however, and that stops it being dismal, although it's by no means upbeat.

It is a very weak script, with several plot arcs being speedily concluded, at the cost of the story. Disappointing.

It's a huge shame, because I liked many of the characters, but the build up and the conclusion were incredibly mismatched, even though it made sense.

As is often the case with a good cast who give it their all, they carried this drama and made it watchable. Even though I'd never bother watching it again, I can't say I disliked it, but I was very disappointed.

I've said it before and will say it again; if Netflix are going to make K-dramas, they need to stick to the format that is one of the reasons many of us fell in love with them in the first place. A story told completely, in usually 16 to 20eps.

Not 6-12 eps, with no conclusion and a possible S2, but that being dependent on ratings. Or as in this drama, a complete ('Limited') series, but with an inadequate number of episodes in which to give any depth to the story or coherent conclusions.

Great OST and I loved the acting, from all the cast. One would never have known how much YAI must already have been suffering, at this point.

Interessante :)

Muito legal o plot, e com personagens bastante diversos. Grande parte da história se passa ao redor de uma igreja, achei isso bem irônico porque como que você acredita na bondade de deus quando um asteróide vai matar e destruir tudo o que você conhece. Por isso até o padre vira "laico" pro final, achei engraçado, tadinho.
Amei a militar lésbica, queria ver mais dela nas cenas finais.
Teve uma coisa que ficou sem explicação que foi os cortes e o chip na costela do Yun Sang (Yoo Ah In). Foi o pessoal estadunidense que botou? Porque? O que esse chip faz? O quê ele supostamente sabia que precisaram sequestrar e torturar ele? Super vago essa parte. Acredito que ficou assim porque cortaram as cenas dele por causa do escândalo, mas podiam pelo menos ter deixado a explicação.
Vi muita gente nas reviews falando que era slice of life essa série, mas não sei que vida vocês estão vivendo, pq eu achei bem agoniante tudo oq aconteceu com todo mundo. Tem alguns momentos que dá pra respirar, mas 80% é só agonia, morte, choro, doença, surto psicótico, tristeza (gostei pq muita review falou que era slow paced, e eu não achei, não desgrudei o olho, vi tudo de uma vez)
Uma série de coisas que com certeza aconteceriam, mas que não fazem nenhum sentido se você for pensar: pra que tanta gente se preocupa com dinheiro quando vão morrer daqui a pouquinho; o dinheiro, o ouro e VOCÊ vão desaparecer. Mas eu acho que humanos são assim mesmo, por isso acho que isso aconteceria de verdade.
Não gostei do final. queria ver o asteroide caindo, não mostrou. A professora Se Kyung decidiu surtar no ultimo minuto por motivo nenhum, os caras iam morrer de qualquer forma, pra que se arriscar pra matar eles ao invés de curtir os últimos momentos com quem ela ama. Porque o Yun Sang foi correndo de bicicleta pra lá? como ele sabia onde ela tava? Ficou esquisitíssimo esse final. Acho que a série deixa todo mundo ansioso pra ver o asteróide colidindo e no final não mostra :P

Its been good , and could have been better

ML look like he was high in Episode 5 when he visited city hall,
and director shoot that scene like that and don't even edited it out Great..
most of time ML look at FL he look like a Pervert then her lover....
Girl and her Boyfriend and her ARMY Friend and her Pastor Friend
all are 1D character boyfriend is boyfriend army friend is just army friend
i like Army Captain were a fan or crush on her after watching her in shooting stars,
so i was more interested in her story but Director just focus on Stereotype strong woman image, Army girl who is strict with a iron wall build around herself, has no weakness not feelings
she don't have a love interest when she is around so many handsome soldiers , since she is the captain she cant have feeling for solider below her rank and there isn't anyone that is above her, and those above her are old uncles
WHY male can have crush on FL who is below his social status as CEO and his Assistant but Female cant have those to make her look strong it just made her look old fashioned stereotype ,
i wanted to see her have love line or flirting to make her more human then only a army girl and a friend, she is also a woman and human being with a lot more feelings
you don't like someone after seeing there rank in army, she is cute and pretty but no solider got a crush on her ?
i know this is Dooms day drama, and they have 199 days left to live so , that more important to give more your own feelings and desire then trying to look cool Captain.
main couple love story was boring as someone mention FL has more chemistry with Army Captain then her Boyfriend who half Seens where cut,
In ah needed a partner other then her Bestie FL or any other thing with her so she wont look 1D character just a solider nothing more then that,
You father 2nd ML was useless for most of the drama,
his church was useless

BORING

First episode, we got all these characters thrown out on us. Onto the 4th episode, still a bunch of characters without any background story. I mean, you know what their role is, but don't know who they are. Which left viewers with no connection with anyone of these characters.
Plot was all over. They didn't do a good job of showing the flashbacks. Making it confusing without much to differentiate between the past and the present.
Episode 1-4 just all about drugs and human trafficking. So boring how they took up 4 episodes on just that.
I don’t think this will have a season 2. Lol
