Yeah, I know. I'm really crushed. I don't feel like translating episode 28 but I feel I have a responsability to do it anyway because a lot of people depend on it to watch the drama. I'll be dragging my feet and it's going ot be hard.
So he ends up fighting some more? Okaaaay - and the point of the story and his arc is??? That's exactly it! They already used that when he picked himself up after killing his brother. How could they have him do the same thing after they killed Mok Dan off? We already knew he was 100% committed to the cause. What the hell, drama? It's like they chose to push their "free korea" and how awesome the freedom fighters were agenda and threw characterization to the dogs.
Episode 28 really boggles the mind. How could a drama so well-written unravel like that in a single episode? I really didn't expect it. I'd decided to trust the writer to the end since she'd amazed me several time through the drama by her awesomeness.
I am so upset - the drama took everything that made Kang To compelling and gutted it to make him a symbol - all complexity gone. Gaksital started out strong and stayed so for most of its run but ultimately it got subsumed in its nationalistic agenda. I did not watch this for nationalism or some hagiographic view of the the independence movement. I watched it for the characters. And they all got short shrifted to push the nationalistic message. What a waste.
At least I still have Faith and Arang and Five Fingers and May Queen.

I feel empty, I was so invested in this drama.
Arang, save me from my pit of despair.
