A heartbreak, fallen promises are always hard to overcome, but taking advantage of society's ideology to garner sympathy and ruin someone's career, I blame society for enabling such behaviors -- that either had to resort to the measures they did is unbelievably tragic. What is the point of becoming a celebrity when all you are is a prisoner of your own society? I cannot trivialize what the ex-girlfriend went through. I know how painful a heartbreak can be, having been through a few myself, but to purposely seek out to ruin the person you once loved belies the love itself, especially knowing full well the culture they both live in. If KSH wasn't a celebrity, this wouldn't even be news -- nor would she have aired their dirty laundry for everyone to see so to speak. Her intention was clear as day, even if she did in a moment of weakness. I don't know, but what she did defined her more than it did him. Not that I absolve him of any wrongdoing . It is so true -- life is a matter of choices and every choice you make makes you or breaks you for that matter. The one thing I am glad KSH didn't do in his letter, which made him sound sincere was that he didn't write he was taking time off to reflect on himself -- it always felt made up and insincere whenever I saw those lines in apology letters. Like they were made to write it.
I have to say that was so unexpected, the ending of episode 12 -- I was like what just happened, there was a totally new use of the truck of doom. I was half expecting the car to explode with her in it. This brings new meaning to the saying you reap what you sow, not that anyone deserve that.
Tbh, Maggie Chen just steal the showI've realized that An Ji Yong was also a cast in Mr. Sunshine as Colonel Takashi…
He played a badass character in Sweet Home, one of my favorites. It's a shame he wouldn't be able to reprise the role in the second season; and the best guest role in You Are My Spring
Lost makes me feel like I find myself a little at a time with each episode, and I am not sure if that was the intention of the storytelling. If it is, it works, and if not, it still worked. Boo Jung and Kang Jae's intimate moment was everything I hoped for, but then all the moments in this episode and the series as a whole are not merely touching, but powering in many ways. It's the first time I felt like I couldn't, nor did I want to judge any of them for their choices. I simply wanted them to leave their sadness behind and go for their happiness. It's like they say, life is about finding the ones that make you happy, and freeing yourself from those who don't. Always easier said than done though, because as life gives, it also takes -- I hope it gives a lot more than it takes this time around.
There was so much to like in episode 12, so much intimacy and openness it made my heart flutter. Be it with Boo Jung and Kang Jae, Min Jung and Tak-yi, Woo Nam, and even the mother-in-law. For the first time, it seemed like everyone was being honest with themselves. They say first impressions are lasting, but this episode made me realize that not everything we see or think of someone is always true. That there is a story behind every person, there is a reason why they're the way they are -- it gave me hope not only for how things may turn out for Boo Jung and Kang Jae, but also for everyone. And as much as I found joy in their togetherness, as much as I was hurt by their goodbye. I felt something priceless was coming to an end.
