I am somehow... underwhelmed?

Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of themes that I really appreciated in this episode. The discussion surrounding homosexuality and homophobia, accepting oneself, not caring about what others think. That is needed, and I'm going to give it to them, they treated this matter with the respect it deserves. My problem with this ep is how neatly everything is tied up, the perfect ending for every character. It just doesn't fit with the tone that the series set up until episode 10-11. Everything was messy, the teachers were corrupt and abusive, the director even more so, and the students were becoming more and more radical. And one second later, the main 'villain' (teacher Chadok) has a breakdown and does a full 180, turning into this thoughtful, calm individual we'd never seen before. Somehow they manage to change the entire system within 10 minutes of runtime and now everyone is okay?? There was virtually no payoff for all the tension and drama that were built up!! ---- to end on a positive note, the chemistry between First and Khaotung is incredible. Their characters are in love, no doubt about that.
