Not realistic at all.

S1 was semi-realistic.

Ok finished it last night. Really accelerated the bizarre ending.

I felt the divorcing couple still truly loved and cared for one another. But clearly each wanted a big change but she thought they’d do it together and he sacrificed himself. A bit off character

The younger couple, which never made sense, fully revealed how broken they are as individuals. He pressing his I Love Yous to the business coworker and her myopically obsessed with being married and have a child at a young age age. She still have one ovary, unclear why they leapt to IVF at god knows what cost. Nor how contaminated semen fertilized anything

Oh well. It was entertaining and dark and tragic.

What does everyone think about Eunice? Why he didn’t go meet her.

He realized she did not love him at all (obvious to us but not to him for some reason?) and his fiancee loved him so he picked her.

Weak. He should have left both. But he had a bigger master plan.

Greed and power win again! The essence od human nature.

I didn't take it that way. Eunice imo was just a practical and ethical person and what you see is what you get. She wanted to make sure he'd come so was articulating all instructions because she saw him as a bit intellectually inferior to her and easily manipulated, so she worried he would not show. Her one error was saying she loved him when she didn't because it clearly came through she was lying right there.

But why was Eunice so obviously enamored of Austin when they were back in Montecito and on the plane? When he first told her he loved her, she wouldn't say it back, but finally said, "you know how I feel but I can't say it because you're married" or something to that effect. So weird how she was very suddenly not interested at the end.

I think she went to him in Montecito after she got the phone because in a sea of calculating, rich people, she felt she could count on him being moral as she saw that he had this sincerity and naivete about him. She did not realize that while these things were true, he was lying about the PT certificate and she did not know the blackmail story.

And on the plane she was humoring him, like a little kid you like well enough but you also need to behave and do x, y and z chores.

I don't think Eunice knew about the fake PT certificate or the blackmail story, did she?

Right, she did not, so she thought he was this innocent, naive guy she could count on to make good choices.

+1
Frankly, there was a lot in the last episode that left me scratching my head. I did find the comically choreographed fight scene in the OR to be hilarious though.

Chairwoman Park is a billionaire who can have anything she wants, except what she really wants is for her first husband to be alive. She married a younger man in her second marriage to keep that from happening again, but it turns out he sucked. So even the riches person on the show is still unhappy and dissatisfied.

When the camera provided an above shot of the cemetery plot, what was all around the grave? It was almost like living rooms.

That's what I was referring to (I'm the PPP). I wondered too and couldn't quite figure out the message/point.

Question:

When Eunice goes to Austin’s house and tells him that she has the chairwoman’s phone, he says let’s go to the police. She says we can’t because she’s so powerful. She will get to the police beforehand. I don’t understand why they would think the police in Asia would be more trustworthy?!

Seems more likely it would be that the guards turned on her and she felt compelled to lure him in…but I didn’t get the sense that it was a trap if he went to the cops.

How would Austin have remembered her phone number?

Ah, you're probably right.
