I'm going to miss the entire cast.

I hope the our newbie writer, who also is a divorce attorney, will continue in this new career. She knows what she's doing. No dragging out of plots but at the same time, no plot was too short. She was able to struck a very good balance between the side arcs, the mid-arcs, and overall arcs, and ended it in a satisfying and inspiring way.

We rarely see that type of screenwriter these days.

How about making an adaptation of your webtoon "메리지레드" ("Marry Red")? And be sure you're the one who'll adapt it to the screen. You know your craft well and you understand what the audience want.

You've reached the end.
