I watched it as it aired, I find it more exciting and fun to watch it with others that are watching as it airs. I personally like LBY as an actress and don't know why people don't like her. I liked her in Love Cheer & I Hear Your Voice.My Mom was quiet impressed at his signing in that certain scene that I shall not spoil for those that have not seen it yet. She says that he sings very well,but in Spanish.But She keeps saying and telling people that it looks like she's going to have a Korean son in law! Lol I wish but sadly there isn't any in my town. Anyways, I highly recommend it as the cast and crew made it extremely enjoyable to watch. It introduced to me my new love Jo Seung Woo.where oh where has he been all my life. My stay in rehab has ended as I've gotten over the shock of the drama's end.
Well the special is going to have Ng's, BTS, cast interviews and plot holes explanations. Many agree that the live shooting contributed to the whole rushed final episode was, they ran out of time to shoot & edit correctly. As well as, the drama started off with the intention to be Soo Hyun's role driving the whole drama with on Dong Chan helping her out along the way. But due to The love for Dong Chan's character & the actor himself; it shifted to making it the drama more about him. Basically the writer was chartering to the fans wishes that tends to ruin a good drama into a sinking ship. Just like MHIYD. But what's done is done.
In my opinion it's better that way. The shifting & him became the lead man not the other way around & that is more credible. I find it LBY acting not really good enough, Feels like her acting is weak and lack of something.
So the special episode comes with 'another ending'. Not that different but I suppose it was less ambiguous on whether or not Dong Chan died... I kinda like it that way. Felt more like a proper closure.
