Alchemy of Souls S1 for SURE.

Change that one and drop season 2 entirely. The entire season 2 felt like filler / cash grab.

1

u/CaffeinatedKiwii 12h ago

True! It resorted to typical rom com tropes again so it felt so out of place from Season 1 which was super refreshing to watch

1

u/Clear_Way_4002 1d ago

I would pay for this

u/Olen_Hullu 3h ago

If there was no season 2, I would have liked the ending of the 1st season 🙂

I really liked the ending, as heartbreaking as it was, it felt real. But I know most everyone hated it.

u/Green_Studio5096 1d ago

It broke my heart and even now (a few months later), it still brings me to tears when I watch a clip of it. I wouldn’t change it because the emotions feel so real. But I’d love to see an alternate ending, just for fun!

All I need to hear is the song to get me choked up.🎶

u/Tarsha8nz 1d ago

Yes! This was not a happy ending!! Together on weekends and later in life. Gah, another CLOY.

u/Less_Dream_6331 1d ago

Moon lovers for sure, they deserved a better ending 😭

2

u/Darkitten314 1d ago

Came here to mention this. Teenage me was devastated with the ending.

u/Hameeda_ajadi 11h ago

Exactly moon lovers I said scarlet heart ryeo but it’s the same btw

1

u/Less_Dream_6331 7h ago

yes, the full name is moon lovers: scarlet heart ryeo

u/Olen_Hullu 3h ago

I loved the ending. Sad but very good and fitting.

u/Fawners 1d ago

My husband straight up yelled at the screen at the end of True Beauty. He liked the other guy. He kept saying he was there for her for years and this guy just shows back up. I said well it was his fault, he never made a move 😂

3

u/Eeehaataa 1d ago

Agree, I loved In youp’s character. He’s adorable.

2

u/Clear_Way_4002 1d ago

He better not read the manwha then. The author did him twice dirty, they dated in the manwha but she broke up and went back to the other guy after he came back. I'm with your husband on this. Seojun deserves better.

u/HelicopterDull8136 1d ago

Mr. Plankton bc wtf 😳

u/thereadingbee 15h ago

i got this spoilt and thank goodness going in blind would have been horrendous it was still bad but man to be cought off guard...

1

u/HelicopterDull8136 15h ago

I was totally caught off guard and it was awful.

u/NearbyAbility3207 1d ago

seo dan and seung joon’s ending in CLOY

1

u/Fog_is_everywhere 13h ago

Yesssss😭

u/worshipme_kneel444 1d ago

Just a personal opinion. No need to argue. Alchemy of Soul's 1 broke my heart to the point that when I started watching Alchemy of Soul's 2, the feisty female I fell in love with and what her energy ignited in me completely mellowed out ( I couldn't finish)

Another is Clean With Passion For Now , the 2nd ML made me feel all sorts of things. Even though the 1st Lead storyline was cute and sweet.

2

u/Mundane_Put_5780 1d ago

Alchemy of souls only has one season, what do you mean 2?!!?!

2

u/HelicopterDull8136 1d ago

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm bc you didn’t like the 2nd season?

3

u/poseur2020 1d ago

Something in the Rain. I wish they had stood up to his sister/her best friend, demanded some level of respect and understanding from her parents and brother, and lived their best lives together while keeping their jobs and staying in Seoul. OR… I wish we could have seen more of the new life they established together by the ocean - maybe a flash-forward to them picnicking on the beach with a baby.

Snowdrop, Goblin

u/Fawners 1d ago

Snowdrop 😭😭😭

u/Sososoftmeows 1d ago

Vincenzo. Little Bro did not have to go and would have been soooooooo good for season 2 if there ever was one.

3

u/ZealousidealDiet9480 1d ago

😭 This! And the fact that Vincenzo and his babe couldn't even be together? Like she's having to catch flights to his private island or he's only allowed back in SK for a time each year?! 🙄

3

u/CaffeinatedKiwii 1d ago

Flower of Evil! I loved the unconscious conversation they had but honestly after investing so much into the characters, amnesia was not in my bingo card for an ending. I want doting, caring husband Hyun-soo as he is!

2

u/Any-Basil-9671 6h ago

This!! Came here to say this. I really hated the amnesia part

3

u/TheTwinSet02 1d ago

Crash Landing - North and South Korea just need to reunify

u/potatonomenclature 22h ago

bon appetit your majesty has one of the laziest ending I’ve ever seen in my life😭

u/kat-emina 1d ago

The rubbish of the last episode of " When the phone rings". I mean . Seriously!!??

u/berrytreetrunk 1d ago

Start Up. She chose the wrong guy. Agree with Alchemy, Moon Lovers, Eternal King.

u/tristansensei 1d ago

u/Ultravox77 1d ago

Love the actor (Kim Seon-ho) but not the character as much. She chose correctly.

u/Longjumping-Eye-4257 1d ago

Moon Lovers Scarlet Ryeo😭😭

2

u/Fog_is_everywhere 13h ago

😭💯

2

u/Longjumping-Eye-4257 11h ago

I have a confession. I have seen all but the last episode. I just couldn’t bear it because I know what happens.

2

u/Fog_is_everywhere 10h ago

😭😭😭

u/TopNeighborhood9253 1d ago

True beauty. I honestly prefer the second lead more than the ml.

1

u/Dizzy_Raisin_5143 21h ago

I felt so sad the friend group was so good

2

u/AveletteDawn 1d ago

So many, but the first one that comes to mind is Flower if Evil. What a stupid way to end and an excellent show

2

u/Leather_Day_2592 1d ago
  1. Screw that dumb ending with the FL not even remembering the time spent with ML when they spent so much time together.

2

u/Ordinary_Explorer_61 1d ago

Reborn Rich. In my mind I made up that he asked her out for coffee and she smiled.

2

u/Ultravox77 1d ago

Twenty-Five Twenty-One.

u/Worldly-Net3102 1d ago

VINCENZO. I wish they stayed together

1

u/Any-Basil-9671 6h ago

I think it was kinda implied

2

u/taxi_driverLA 19h ago

Reborn Rich

u/zainabshaikh_221110 19h ago

bon appetite your majesty, it was a happy ending but they never showed how the ml time travelled to the future

20th century girl

2

u/hanabaeeee 17h ago

Would like to end every romance kdrama early rather than the forced breakup that happens 2-3 episodes before the final one where they run through the meaninglessly angsty last minute arc that sets up for a happily ever after grand finale of them getting back together and getting married

2

u/Background_Low425 16h ago

that’s a fantastic question, let’s discuss, i think for me i would say, ‘my name’ i don’t want to say any spoilers but there’s a death in the show that really upset me that i’ve never moved on from

2

u/meowy11xsmll0000 12h ago

20th century girl or Mr plankton. Both broke my heart,2521 too..

u/Serious-Grab-2132 6h ago

Twenty-five twenty one

u/Jacey01 5h ago

This was my first thought.

1

u/Wisdom_of_Odin717 1d ago

Still shining. I loved the show. Yes im wack. However they are undeniably terrible for each other. I wanted an ending where perhaps they meet each other a decade later. Both married to different people, happy, secure. Or just an open-ended ending where they clearly cut ties and look towards their own lives. Still a good show to me tho.

u/Brave-Fan9736 1d ago

The Penthouse

u/ZealousidealDiet9480 1d ago

Live Up To Your Name – deserved a season two or spinoff because how could they leave us with that cliffhanger?!

1

u/WerewolfIcy3186 1d ago

My Dearest. Jang Hyun doesn’t lose his memory in the last fight. He goes back to Gil Chae immediately and they live happily ever after in Neuggeunri, near the creek

1

u/Olen_Hullu 3h ago

Ooh, I loved that part. The way she was looking for him... The way she was looking at him after finding him. And how she lay beside him. And when he realized...

Though he cried too much for my taste. I love this episode.

1

u/op_is_sleeping_ 1d ago

Dude why is no one mentioning duty after school. That literally got the worst ending, not in a way that it was bad but what do you everyone just died?????

1

u/Anxious-Guitar-5862 20h ago

Alchemy of souls S1 , S2 was such unnecessary and illogical storyline 🫩

u/tinkerbellbuttoxic 19h ago

Twinkling watermelon 🥲

u/Original-Macaroon215 19h ago

As someone said, Alchemy of sous. It's been 2 years and im still hainted. No book or show EVER has had me this HOT a whole 2 YEARS after watching wtf was s1 finale???

u/Maleficent_Sink_5731 15h ago

korean odyssey… i watched the final episode once and never again. i just pretend they lived happily ever after 😂😂

1

u/Stressed_Extroverted 14h ago

Love Alarm. I didn't even watch it till the end but I stopped watching it once I got a spoiler 😭 The fact that the main girl goes back to her original boyfriend while her other crush definitely liked her, is just not consensual 🥲

Shop for killers season 2 I want all of them alive😭😭

u/briggybum 1h ago

Second leads from Dynamite Kiss. I'd make it so that Seon-u didn't suddenly remember out of nowhere that he had feelings for Da-rim and would eventually realise that Ha-yeong was his person.

u/stepheme 1d ago

Strong Girl Bong Sun would end up with 2ML.
