I did a lot of skipping through the last two episodes. The drama was replete with tropes, including the spunky orphan female lead, the wisecracking friend, the repressed male lead from a wealthy family who falls in love with the spunky female against domineering father’s wishes, the emotionally distant mother, and many many more. The secondary romance was completely implausible and had icky Taming of the Shrew overtones, which made me feel very shrewish by the end.

I wish the drama had been more about running and less about romance.
