Addictive but lost its way

I have already seen the clarifications on social media re: the scene that is causing controversy, so my review is not in any way affected by that incident. Regardless, this was my cup of tea for such a short time: I was right with Hee-Joo at the beginning of the drama, and was seriously intrigued and excited for a revenge story against what to me seemed like an emotionally abusive husband. Then surprise!! He isn't that bad! Okay, not what I expected, but I'll buy it. I was then in it for the intrigue of him finding out and then that was the most anticlimatic reveal in history. Regardless, I couldn't stop watching because the chemistry between Chae Soo Bin and Yoo Yeon Seok was great, and that kept me going up until the last two episodes, in which the characters made so many nonsensical decisions they turned what could have been a solid 7.5 to a 6. Why didn't they run the murderer over with the car? Didn't even have to hit him that hard, just get him out of the way until the cops came! Then the shooting fakeout, the disappearance and the worst plot point: THE NOBLE IDIOCY!!! Characters that were relatively smart kept making idiotic choices for the sake of plot twist after plot twist and it was just... not good. Listen, I can love a "so bad it's good" drama if it's at least consistent, but those last two episodes were "so bad it's really really bad" and ultimately made a huge disservice to what could have been a guilty pleasure show for me. Such a pity.
