I feel more affected when they cuddle than when other couples have full-on sex
Since I started watching Asian doramas it has been like that ... it leaves so much more to the imagination (and fan fiction). It has come to the point that, when I watch Western movies with a kiss/sex scene, I feel almost embarrassed. With only nuzzling/holding hands etc. you can convey so much more emotion than 'just sex'.
Having said that, won't deter me from reading NC17 fan fic .. but then it is in my head and not on screen if you know what I mean? :)

more necessary person in 1300s than she was in our time
Oh absolutely. First off she is needed by one person for survival, second, she is needed by many with her surgical skills and third, what kind of life does she have to return to? She comes from Gangnam (as she has mentioned before), so it is all about pretense .. she might be making good money with cosmetic surgery (judging from her brand name clothing and accessories) but she obviously is alone (that ex boy friend who is also a doc barely spares a glance at her in the elevator in one of her flashbacks). Depending how long time has passed in the present time, she might not have a life to return to (job gone, no apartment, no money etc).

Yes, especially since time moves faster in the future - for all we know, it has been a year back in 21st century.

The thing is, she has to affirmatively decide to stay on her own because you know Choi Young would never ask her - he feels too guilty, too responsible, possibly even too unworthy. So make the big inarticulate lug happy and stay, Eun Soo!

I do wish she could go back for a little bit to say goodbye to her family and grab supplies.

Yep, after all our real legendary General lived up to the age of 72 and still going strong if he hadn't been beheaded. So perhaps this is the reason why he lived for so long ... top 21st century medical care :)

I thought about that ;)

And she should totally stay! I mean, her OTP getting betrayed and dying is sad but it happened when he was 72, which is a respectable age even nowadays and freaking amazing back then. And it means she has 40+ years with him, which not many can say even nowadays - she could go back,marry someone and he could be hit by a bus 5 years later or get terminal cancer in 10.

I need a happy ending badly!

Me too ... it's really become an obsession. At first I thought I might only watch the first ep ... you know .. just to test it after my personal debacle with Legend and woah it hit me like a train wreck, only in a good way :)
