Dear Hyeri Ends with 3.3% Nationwide Viewership Ratings | It's Over, FINALLY!

I've never been this relieved before that a 12 episode Kdrama ended already. It felt like I was watching a longer one 'coz it had been a drag watching the whole thing after episode 9. To be completely honest, the drama was doing so great until episode 10 happened. I've been very clear that Hyeri is only part of Eun Ho's mental illness, so I didn't really hang on to the idea that Kang Ju Yeon and Hyeri would end up together. Because at the end of the day, this is a healing drama, and so Eun Ho has to heal to completely solve the whole point of the story. However, I didn't expect Eun Ho's treatment to be written in an insane manner. The writer made Eun Ho so dependent on Hyun Oh so much that she cannot heal on her own with the help of psychiatrist. Because the way I see it, if Eun Ho only depends on Hyun Oh throughout the series, it only meant there's a weak to no character development happened to her at all. If I knew this drama promotes and tolerates toxic love, then I wouldn't have started this. Sigh. What a complete waste of time. 

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the actors here, in fact they are all excellent in what they're doing. It's the story that really irks me so much. I can't believe that I successfully avoided The Impossible Heir and Hierarchy this year but I ended up watching Dear Hyeri. Sigh. One of my worst experience in watching a Kdrama, tbh.

The worst episode for me here is 11, btw. After episode 10 ruined everything... I felt nothing at all watching the next episode. I seriously detested the time watching Hyun Oh and Eun Ho being lovey dovey after the storyline made the viewers hate them. Like... are they for real?! It's like they're trying to cover up their mess with something that really caused the mess. lol Also inserting comedic scenes and pointless get togethers in episode 12, saying goodbye to Hyeri when there are only 5 people who got involved with her in the series... it's so ridiculous. The only redeeming part of this whole drama is actually Hyeri's side of characters. (Min Young, Ju Yeon, Hye Yeon and nothing else) I'm honestly more excited to know that there's possibility of Ju Yeon and Hye Yeon being a couple in the future than that marriage of Hyun Ho and Eun Ho.

Anyway, it's time for my verdict... will I recommend this drama? My answer is a big NO. 

Congrats to those who have finished the drama though. We've been through A LOT just by watching this drama. lol
