“Why Her?” episode 16 review

Good news is, “Why Her?” ending is nice. Damn it, Soo Jae suffered so much, I am glad she got a semi-happy ending. It also made sense that Choi Tae-Guk would never admit to defeat or accept people bringing him down. His pride and delusion would not have allowed it in a million years.

Its sad he managed to weasel out of it by committing suicide but it is what it is. Many cowardly powerful people would rather die than face a shred of accountability.

“Why Her?” definitely had a lot more potential but the writing butchered its chances. While its wrong to say this drama has not been a success, its sad the fact that it could have been a bigger success but never got the chance to fully shine.

I feel bad for the actors because they did a great job. Veteran actor Heo Jun-Ho is always delightful. Its so much fun watching him play the villain role. I will never get tired of it. He injects so much life into his roles. Opposite him is the amazing Seo Hyun-Jin who gives one of my favorite performances by an actor in a 2022 kdrama.

Like I said, I feel bad it wasn’t written as well as I would have liked it to be but I am also thankful because I got to see such amazing performances by two of my favorite actors.

  1. It sad the fact that I don’t need to wait for them anymore but I like the drama and the actors ! The friendship and other! I also hope to see seo hyun jin in other drama! I think I’m more fall in love with her! I also hope the same for hwang in yeop! My 70 billion hearts will stay with them!

  2. I really wished they could’ve shown the chairman’s son and his friends being punished too! Even though their fathers made the situation even worse I really hoped that at the end I would’ve seen the sons also go to jail.
