This made me LOL. :D

I've already seen photos that've spoiled the end somewhat. And they made me cry. Whether from sadness or happiness, I'll leave it to y'all to find out...

Ep.15:
Dok Go Jin's ideal woman World Cup is Gu Ae Jung. DGJ: "i'm falling in love with her" | It's done deal. Dok Go Jin said that publicly in interview on TV. \(^_^)/

I forgot to add: who else feels like growing a potato in a pot now? xD

I always have a forgotten potato bag ending with roots and sprouts everywhere... next time, I'm doing this right and will raise it with water.

Are we allowed to talk about episode 15? Or are we waiting until 16 is subbed as well? *bouncing in seat*

SPOILER EP. 15
I was for the first time disappointed with the drama. How could they have handled the surgery outcome like that? All the tension they built the past episodes just to wrap it up with a time jump. Sucks. At the same time, BaT was right saying the core story has always been about DGJ's image/pride VS his love for AJ; Dokko's heart problems being only used as a red line to connect it all and spice up the drama a little bit.

Anyway, DGJ LIVES, YAY! <3

(and everything I wanted for the finale happened from what I read... shhh...)

Yep, I'm co-signing onto your comment. This episode kind of knocked the wind out of my sails. What should have been a climactic episode felt like a filler episode, and a lot of the conflict was just rehashing what we already know will be a problem because it's been discussed for the past six episodes or so. Really, two months have passed and no one has made any progress whatsoever? I'm also kind of annoyed that Ae Jung was denied her Moment. I guess it's unrealistic to have her barge into the OR to sing her song and revive Dokko, and I appreciate that the Hong Sisters went for believability over the cheese factor. However, I wish Ae Jung had done something to prove her devotion; it's mucking up my Ae Jung is the Knight theory. I just feel like the time jump took away any meaning the heart surgery could have had, and revealed it to be a cheap and somewhat unnecessary plot device.

But there definitely were a lot of moments that made me like the episode: the coming together of the child symbolism sewn throughout the show (the constant use of toys to describe emotions, fairy tales, superheros, Dokko's own childishness and his bromance with Ding Dong) to produce a critique of the childishness of the celebrity world and even the childishness of adulthood; Dokko's televised confession and how beautifully acted the progression of Ae Jung's emotions was.

Onto episode 16! From the spoiler photos I've seen, the ending should be very satisfying.

This show, has been my favorite this season, and I am sad to see it go, I like the versatility of Chae Seung Won. And the end was just cute. The whole last episode I was laughing and "awwwing" the whole time.. I am never truly disappointed with a Hong Sisters drama, and this one proved to be up to par with the rest.
