It was ok. As I watched I thought about some plot twists that didn't happen...
1. The master plot twist: Kakeru was the author of both letters and he manipulated everyone to love him.
2. By the end, when everyone was sitting on the road, I expected another White Truck of Death to come and kill them all. I think I need to visit some shrink. I'm going slightly mad... 😉
3. FL discovering that her friend (her original future husband and father of their child) is actually sacrificing his love for the sake of the ML. Now she has to decide if she wants to live with emotionally unstable guy, in constant fear that he'll kill himself (good opportunity for a toxic relation), or she's gonna dump him and go for the original dude.
I liked it a lot.I understand people saying that this could've been a 2h movie instead but I have a different…
...I didn't like the ending.
By the end I was prepared to let them go their separate ways.
I felt somewhat tricked that it was never really "after love" in this drama. They did have their closure which normally "ends" the love (one may argue of course if love ever ends) and that should've been the milestone that allows them to move on.
I felt that the lesson wasn't fully learned. Yes, it seems like they might be able to communicate better now that they've learned to say "I'm sorry" but there's a difference between saying sorry and changing your behaviour. The latter requires a lot more strong will and hard work.
Their sudden transition from "sorry" to holding hands was just so not in line with the overall pacing of the story that it seemed forced to me.
I liked it a lot. I understand people saying that this could've been a 2h movie instead but I have a different opinion this time (which is strange because I usually hate when the story is dragged for too long). This one I binged in one go and it kept me hooked until the end. There is one thing I didn't like though...
Some people say this drama is great but you need to turn off thinking. I'd say it's good until around ep 12. Then you really need to turn off thinking :)
It was my first time watching Nana and her acting here was mediocre. Some of her smiles were looking so fake that I thought she was pissed while playing her role.
"Rot in prison" is just how justice should work. In reality that approach fails very often - mainly when applied…
That thought challenge is more suitable for ethics forum.
People argue if death sentence in justice system is wrong but in every judicial system vigilantism is condemned as wrong. Here we have a vigilante-like execution.
There are many reasons why vigilantism is bad but I'm just going to post one of them: because it's a judgement from 1 person (the vigilante). That vigilante is biased towards the person he kills. So his judgement may not be right. That's why people invented justice system - so that people would be judged by people who are not influenced by the case.
Of course even if vigilantism is bad one can argue that sometimes we choose between doing something evil and allowing something more evil to happen. That may be true - if we do we're still doing something wrong.
I think it was very in character. She's stubborn and when she gets something in her head she won't stop. We saw…
Yes, the her relation with Ju Ran is a strong factor for her emotionally. And it's fine. But she dealt with emotions many times before (with her mother, with joining the group as underdog, with her stage performances) so it's unbelievable that suddenly she looses her mind because of this one, however important, relation.
Her choice to try to improve her vocal even more was just plain stupid - especially when her vocal performance in her minor role as the soldier just stole the show and she got a huge positive feedback from the audience about her performance.
What she should and would normally do is go to Ok Gyeong and ask her for an advice (as she did few times before).
Anyway I still consider this twist forced. And it's ok, no big deal. I was just facepalming for the whole episode, then I just accepted it and moved on 😉
I loved when gilho shoot that bas**d usually you see they leave them to rot in prison but gilho did best thing
"Rot in prison" is just how justice should work. In reality that approach fails very often - mainly when applied to people with money and power. They usually have many ways to avoid justice. So yeah, it seems like it was a wise decision to shoot. Morally wrong, but wise.
But I guess Gilho just wanted the bastard to die. He didn't need to think about morals ;)
