scarfie:
The ending has to be worked out.
Well, there's enough evidence that it can be a HE ... the script writer has put everything there that shows that they can be together if she accepts and loves him. This is a BIG IF though ... but in the dream she loves him so maybe it will carry through. In her dream she already worked out that she shouldn't hang on to the first love, ZYL, and the imaginary defender, HRZ.
She already knows that she shouldn't hang to HRZ as a self-protector because she knows she is strong enough with ZXW's love.
She went to the coma with the assumption that NO ONE cares and loves her. She wakes up because ZXW shared that he has always loved her for the goodness in her. He gave her motivation that she can do good like sharing the incense with everyone.
So it's a good ending because there's no need to explicitly say everything.
Let me put it another way,
FL worked for 29 episodes to create her perfect dream world and rejected ML multiple times for it. Then She wakes up finds out its fake and renters dream world.....she crafted so perfectly for her. She did this cuz according to her, there is nothing in there for her and people there are completely different (including ZXW). Remember her first impression of ZXW in dream world, she believes he is evil. But real ZXW told her, that he was always loved from, even from the childhood and she hears this in dream. Unlike her dream world, here real ZXW tells her "He is willing to face everything with her, including her current situation". So now all of the sudden, the person she LOVES is back, waiting for her. So Now she has two options, live in false dream she created for herself or being with her LOVER and move on........and after creating perfect life for 29 bloody episodes and having the option to live in it indefinitely.
She choose LOVE/ZXW over her perfect dreamworld and decides to be with him......and this happened before She HRZ is her own conscious, so even that factor is out of question. She was dumping him for ZXW.
So it was ABSOLUTE HAPPY ENDING, FL decided to let everything go for LOVE and acknowledged that, crimes lead to punishment.....as for kissing scenes, GUYS actor playing ZXW was probably 19-20 when drama was recorded. So you can see the hesitance on part of FL and directors to do intimacy scenes between them.
It would also not fit the theme of the show......simple answer is "FL SACRIFICED for HIM" and comeback especially for him and now he has mature and better FL.
