What is it that people didn't understood about the ending? Yes, I agree that it's confusing because when you think about this we aren't seeing Yun-jeong or Min-a "story", we are seeing Ji-won's and she only knows that those tow tells her. I think that Yun-jeong and Min-a where only distant, not officially broke up, that's why the two where communicating so intimately. When you think about it it was Min-a who really used Ji-won to try to force Yun-jeong to get close to her again. "Poor" Jin-won, I don't like what she did, but she was probably just discovered that she was bisexual and that actual love (be either between man and woman or woman and woman) is not idealized like she thought it was and wrote in her stories. In the end she asked Min-a is she was "the man" in the relationship, and ended being "the woman" in her story at the beginning, feeling all hurt and wanting to die after being unceremoniously discarded.
I liked this movie, the destiny of the two fathers, how the protagonist became "valuable" and how the characters ended together. Aside the classic "woman hysterics" from movies of those times the script is tightly tied.
So I wasn't alone in thinking this. Also Kahori's character was really poorly written...
Too late, I'm trying to survive a case of crippling depression right now. Watch movies is the most I can do to district the mind (Izumi Ashikawa is helping a lot, not only because of her looks, mostly because the characters I'm seeing her play makes you feel good).
This entry is all wrong. There's a 1980 first season with 13 episodes. A 1981 second season with 21 episodes. A very long 1982 special. A long 1986 special. A 1989 third season with 4 episodes. And lastly, a 1992 good bye special.
For what I understood watching without subtitles this movie is not good, but it was worth watching for the sole Kiki Kirin's scene. She performance was so good! Clashes with everything else in this movie, almost feels out of place.
the lead actress was so cute, sadly, she's stopped her carrer after two films
Do you have any idea where I can find that other movie? Yes, she is very beautiful, but don't you think korean women where much prettier until the 1990's before all those plastic surgeries made then looks like the same aliens? I know that the actresses where already selected by their beauty even before, but still, it was a different kind of beauty.
It happened. Kouji's wish cured Mineko's illness, he payed the price with his life, Natsume (the care) guided her to the temple before she moved away to make her own wish.
The episode 1-5 was so good and i love it though im not satisfied in this kind of ending since ep1-5 is kinda…
Here is the thing, from the beginning this drama had that fantasy in it. Natsume (the name of the cat) reminded my of the anime Aria, the the folkloric figure of Cait Sith. We can't know if Natsume orchestrated the two's meeting, if she knew that Kouji was looking for a cat that resembled her and intentionally approached Mineko to make the two meet, but Natsume was there all along, and without a doubt guided Mineko to the temple to make her own wish before moving away. Mineko's cure wasn't a random miracle, she was cured by Kouji's wish. That's the reason why Natsume was waiting in front of their house so early the day he died, he probable had to pay a price for Mineko's cure. This fantasy/supernatural was a core element of the story.
By the way, there are other shorts with Min-a actress?

I'm liking her.

This fantasy/supernatural side was a core part of the story, read my response to him.
