One of the cultural differences between the leads is that many things get lost in translation yet the leads characters also matter. Jungo is an introvert (cultural or personal) but he is not the initiator in the relationship. Every time Hong kisses him or hugs him, he gets surprised. PDA is not really a thing in Japan so that is understandable but Jungo doesnât talk. He is only thinking his actions matter. If only he talked about his plans, his differences and his culture, their love would have lasted.
Why do I have a feeling that he will bring them together insteadđ€
Depends on the letter itself imo. We need to see what Jungo wrote in it and IF the FL is ready to move back towards him. I think the miscommunication is the issue but also the leads donât know what they want. Jungo takes a step forward only to meet the FL passing by.
Going through the comments and how people think this drama is so miserable, I started to question myself why I…
People just want a fast romantic drama where everything is happy. I think not everyone gets this drama(especially younger audiences) that shows why adults suffer in relationships. I personally had a similar experience in my life and itâs entertaining to see the story unfold
This should be called âWhat comes after flashbackâ
Letâs say they didnât show any flashbacks, how would the audience know what happened? Basically in the future nothing special is happening, as both leads are struggling badly in the present scenes (see their teary eyes) making wrong choices but what is important is how their love fell apart.
Unpopular opinion but the flashbacks are equally as important as the present time. It's slow and depressing on…
Good point! I am seeing people nagging in the comments about the flashbacks but I also think without the flashbacks the story wouldnât make sense. We need to see what happened before that broke them up because it wasnât simply an overnight matter
Those who have seen the movie â the notebookâ can you see the many similarities? Even the parents were the same! Yet one single encounter made them go back together and they lived happily ever after. Wish we could see the same in WCAL as well
unlikely for happy ending? probably yes, probably no.. i mean you see from their past story of them having a struggle,…
Yeah but this is a drama we are talking about. They have a history of wrapping up dramas badly. As much as I love a happy ending, the director/writer/etc probably want to go extra and make is dramatically emotional leaving the audience with so many questions.
Todayâs episode kinda showed the audience that a happy ending is highly unlikely. Itâs painful yes but if a happy ending was possible, how would it have been? Like what shouldâve happened for them to end up together?
This episode merely focused on Jungoâs efforts to open a way, but Hongâs side of the story and what she wants is still unclear. Jungo wants her back(despite all that has happened), but what about Hong? She clearly has not moved on but is the love she had for Jungo still there? Itâs more like she is pain. A pain she could not heal
I know but itâs kinda pointless for them to just end the series like that. No closure no healing no nothing? I mean, the title says what comes AFTER love so there should be something after it.
If only he talked about his plans, his differences and his culture, their love would have lasted.
We should get readyđ„Č
