We continue to mourn

The rating is low; Not because the episode was horrible; just that the events that happened have made us so sad, I cannot even write anything positive about this episode! I have to vent because I am so sad. Sad for Jae Shin whose life is already screwed up but now has to live the rest of her life without the love of her life; sad for Hang Ah who has been removed from her love. Why not just kill her too?! Ok, too harsh, again grief talking. Dang! I'm hoping he (ESK) is part of a death squad (for Bong Gu) too but we can hope, can't we?! I am not even upset about the role of the US in what's happening; hell, Wall Street commands our everyday life for real here. So if you are reading this to try to determine whether or not to watch this, just think that these reviews are just our grief talking! I am officially wearing black tomorrow to work! Peace!

Who didn't cry?

Ok So rly who didn't cry? I let a tear or 2 fall & I don't cry about nething. This was just so sweet & sad @ the same time. Everything started to fall into place which is what a good drama should do. No this is not rly special but it makes ppl feel involved & a part of the story through the emotions. I rly like this story b/c it has that feeling of bittersweet love/pain that we don't get in reality. I think the reason this drama is so good is b/c of that reason. Not being able 2 equate my emotions w/ those that the characters r portraying would make this drama hard 2 watch, b/c I would think it was silly. I mean who believes in time travel? I am glad that I enjoy this type of fantasy romance drama. There r several things that have made this drama so AWESOME! The actors have rly just made this drama 1 of the best this season. I think that if there were diff actors it might be just a bit cheesy! I am rly glad that I started this drama w/ the encouragement of my Unni! She totally knows me well enough 2 suggest I watch such an awesome drama. I can't wait 2 see what happens in that final epi. How is it all going 2 end w/ those who love each other separated by time? I just don't know what 2 expect!

I expected so much more. It was too rushed!

Up until the last 2 episodes I really did love this drama. But this ending was just ridiculous! I can't even think! It just felt really rushed. Young Gul loses everything and disappears. Jae Hyuk comes and takes the letter Young Gul sent to Ga Young and he hides it. Although when he asked her if she wanted to see Young Gul I let him redeem some points again, as I did really want the two of them to wind up together. But not like that!



I was hoping for her to actually turn around and realize she loved Jae Hyuk, that Young Gul became too greedy and his jealousy on top of it turned him into a controlling guy. But that's not what happened. She sits around waiting for Young Gul for a month, Jae Hyuk shows up to take her to America and she goes with them and we see the two are together, holding hands, but still, she doesn't love him. That was disappointment 1. The second one was at the very end, Young Gul is walking around drinking. I had read about a death happening and I thought "is he really going to die?" and I had pictured him either jumping off the building or falling into the pool or whatever it was and drowning. Terrible images but I felt it would've showed how he led himself to his own death. But then out of nowhere there's this guy that shows up and shoots him! And he's on the phone with Ga Young and you can't tell me she didn't hear the shot! But she says "I miss you, too" after he gets shot....I'm so confused at the ending.



It's not that I didn't expect karma to come back around, but I never expected an ending like that. I expected so much more from this drama....I have to collect my thoughts before I actually review this drama....

Poor Xiao Lun.

This was by far not good enough of a reason to treat Xiao Lun the way they do.. This episode feels really meaningful in another way than the others did. Xiao Lun is a boy without muscles and attitude like most guys. He is actually more of a Girly-boy. While the other guys are having their own issues accepting this, They take money from him and bully him whenever they see it fit. I could feel my heart in my throat while watching this. All the unfairness Xiao Lun has to go through just because he is different. Cruel beyond words to tell..



Loved this episode, Suddenly right after I started watching 50 minutes had already went by..

Beautiful and sad

Part of me thinks that it is silly to write SeNa's character as having a change of heart to save Park Ha and part of me thinks that maybe there was a line that even she wouldn't cross. Although she had no problem setting Lee Kak up and I'm not sure she would have had a change of heart if he had been hit instead of Park Ha. She seemed sincere. Park Ha is saved!!! The mothers were sweet with SeNa although I don't know if saving Park Ha means that she paid for ALL that she has done.



I guess Tae Mu finally got what was coming to him.



At last we get back to the 3 cuties!!! Then sadly they disappeared.



I guess Lee Kak knew the whole time that if they got married, then he would disappear. I always love weddings in dramas, but I was hoping against it this time. It was bitter sweet.



I don't know what is going to happen next episode, but I kinda figured that this would end on a sad note. I was prepaired for it, but I still cried.

I join you in mourning!

(Ok I am only venting now. The episode was otherwise excellent, it;s just that I love this character too much)



But I am using Red- I SAW RED when I first saw what happened. I love this character, very very very much and I think the writers do not realise that you do not need THIS to make a character memorable. Even though you know, characters like him are, usually, tragic.



AND we may go as far as to say that what happened is trully beautiful, a true gift of friendship, depth of feeling, loyalty. Very much in character. It was to be expected of him. My only hope is...this GIFT, for it is a gift to the King so that hopefully he may succeed, will not go to waste.



I was prepared for it. I knew it was coming, my analysis of episdoe 18 and experience with some steroptyping of characters and dramas like well.. like some other dramas, some of which are my top favourites...(don;t want to spoil!) were telling me this is coming.



Big Signs in episod 18 were telling me- looks like a character who is about to experience exactly THAT what happened in this episode. The urgency, the heartbreak of episode 18...all pointed to THAT. It's one of the later scenes that completely and utterly tore me apart, so beautiful..! And also the ending of the episode itself made me VERY angry. I hope this will not be wasted, what happened here!



I am heartbroken. I love EGS (uniform is his thing too) but I think we can appreciate and feel even more acutely his beauty, his deeply loyal and honourable heart. I love this character. This is porecisely the kind of character that I like the most.And the actor, whom I like since What's Up, was just perfectly cast.

Can't u learn from the past? It just wouldn't be a drama w/o the evil bipolar personality!

U would think that Hye Jung would learn from her mistakes in the past. But u know how bipolar (which is just a short version of "spoiled brat syndrome") ppl r. They never take responsibility for the choices they make. I have decided that instead of being completely annoyed w/ her I am going 2 look @ her as a case study. She is so typical. While working w/ patients @ the behavioral hospital, I would move from ward 2 ward. Whenever there were drama issues on a ward all u had 2 do was look for the person that was diagnosed bipolar 2 find the root of the problem. Bipolar ppl always feed off other ppls misery. If they feel like that some1 has done something wrong toward them not only will they try 2 destroy that person's life but also the lives of every1 that is involved w/ them. Hye Jung is showing this typical bipolar bx. But I realize that Joon is very well versed in her bx & knows how 2 deal w/ her. I don't believe he will give up Ha Na b/c of his mother, & I don't believe that In Ha & Yoon Hee will get back 2gether b/c they want their children 2 be happy. I think they will be friends or that they all might end up living 2gether w/o the evil bipolar witch. I could almost understand Hye Jung if only she had not been wrong from the beginning. If she had any justification for her bx then I would fell slightly sry 4 her, but she has been wrong from the start. Oh well, I guess if there wasn't that 1 bipolar personality then the story would fizzle out. & man is she good @ it 2. Every time I look @ her I just want 2 kick her in the face 2 shut her up. She doesn't even have 2 say nething & I alrdy want 2 slap a piece of duct tape over her mouth 2 keep her lies & hate from spilling out.



OH well! I still love this drama! Can't wait till next wk when Hye Jung gets what is coming 2 her. U know it will happen b/c the viewers demand justice!
