Yeah. I was waiting to see what you thought of the end, because I didn't like it at all - it came out of nowhere and was completely senseless - all the points you make are exactly my frustration with it. Grrrr.

dangermousie May 9 2007, 00:30:52 UTC

It wasn't as senseless as the ending of Glass Slippers (I don't think you'll ever watch it as it's a super long kdrama) where everything got resolved and then the hero got hit by a car saving a random child (yes, indeed).

I could see where they were going with it, so I'll cut them slack it's just...it felt very unfair. Especially to Eiko. She's never wronged anyone at all (yeah, now I am talking about fairness to fictional characters, I am hopeless).

hmm...from the synopsis and such, i had figured he'd been dying. It DOES sound rather "just kill one or both for the angst"-ish(excludes Damo from this because, while there was a bit of that, it really was the only way it could end for the most part)

You know, I have an issue with these endings...you want to "punish" the guy for doing wron, so you kill his girlfriend who never hurt anyone(in comparison at least) to make him suffer so HER life ends while he gets to continue on living and eventually move on.

*has little tolerance for "angst to have angst" but is still interested*

It's a good drama anyway. Despite this. it doesn't drag (like Bali where I am 'argh, die already so it will be over'), the acting is good, I am a sucker for the messed-up protagonist, and Takki has never had chemistry as good as he does with the leading lady here.

meganbmoore May 9 2007, 00:33:17 UTC

did you ever finish bali? I've been wondering.

The Takky one is on my list of potentials for the order I'll likely post in the next day or two, if not tonight.

I got three eps left and I just got bored. I'll finish it because I am a completist but at this point I just want to smack all the protagonists because of their silliness.

Now I'm going to have to force myself to watch this. If I still do at all... I tend to hide from sad endings unless they just fit so perfectly that it feels right - where to end it any other way would be wrong.

dangermousie May 9 2007, 00:27:12 UTC

I don't mind sad endings and I don't mind this one, actually. Just wish it was different. *sigh*

bodea May 8 2007, 22:04:33 UTC

Wow. Well this is put on hold for me then. I'm already watching Autumn Tale. Thats all the angst and sadness I can take for now!

dangermousie May 9 2007, 00:26:43 UTC

Oh wow, you are braver than me. I am not even touching AT. So sad.

bodea May 9 2007, 23:58:22 UTC

The hotness that is Won Bin made me cave, but darnit he's not sparing me any in this drama. Stay away, don't get sucked in because even though you know its gonna be so sad in the end, you can't help but get addicted.

dangermousie May 10 2007, 01:08:55 UTC

I have never seen Won Bin in anything (yeah, I know). Has he been in anything cheerier?

It wasn't even just senseless and out of nowhere, but it's also not done very well. And THAT is what I can't get over.

dangermousie May 9 2007, 00:26:14 UTC

Your comment about this being Love Contract like (earlier) is very on point, I think. It has this amazing OTP and not so amazing secondary characters and a wtf ending.

It's better than LC though: tighter written for one.

I can see where they were going with it but it seemed gratuitous. Maybe I am just a softie :)
