If i have to nominate 2 things i dislike about this drama was jin sung stabbing oh soo (really bad move) and oh young not knowing or not even suspecting that oh soo might not be his real brother. Wang stands out for me because Bae Jong Ok was in a bunch of other NHK dramas, always as a fleshed-out character you could empathize with-- but in TWTWB, she was a complex character who did something heinous which she was basically let off the hook for, yet the "why" of it all was never adequately explained to us.

Though I was happy to see OS alive, I was not jumping up and down, I was not clapping (meaning I was not overly excited), and I couldn't help but wonder if MC dying (though maybe we had that coming) and the other characters being alive (I am assuming) was a way of doing fanservice, the main characters got to live and all.

Another obvious thing was the discussion between jin sung and jung eun, they were obviously reffering to his grave (why didnt they get married as they planned if things settle down?) I think they were talking about actually bringing flowers for his restaurant. Now that i know there's a happy ending TIME TO WATCH!! Later that night, Soo affixes the bell string to her wrist again.
