Oh God, the anime ending! I wasn't aware that they had pulled that ending out of their asses for YEARS. Other than the ending, the thing I noticed about the anime vs the manga was that Rui was not really in love with Tsukushi in the anime. I never had a shipping crisis while watching the anime, because Rui always ended up with Shizuka.
I totally agree that Jan Di has weakened considerably, and that she really shouldn't have. I think what I like about the current state of Jan Di is that while she is weak and suffering, she's also still being ridiculously self sacrificing for her family, for Jae Kyung, etc. It's tragic, and there's nothing I like more than tragedy.
It's not reasonable in the real world of course (and if it happened in real life, I'd angrily kick the girl's ass, and tell her that a man isn't everything), but I like stories about all consuming love that leave a person unable to function when it disappears.
But I totally and completely understand where you're coming from, because Tsukushi is NOT that character. I'm still enjoying BBF a lot, but they have taken quite a few drastic turns in the last few episodes, and I do miss face kicking Jan Di.
Hehe! SE IS lovely! I still haven't been able to finish episode 3 (...lack of subs), but I'm totally adoring it! I really like Mo Mo, and Jun Nan is the perfect bastard hero.

Oh, I love that, but it just seemed she was such a different type of character to start with, plus her bf ditched her in such a fashion! I am all for Grace slitting her wrists when separated from Dong Chul in East of Eden, e.g., but that's because she's been separated by force from someone who clearly loves her back, and because she's been written in such a way, it's not inconsistent.
