When Young scoffs at this, he asks, Does that mean you like me?. We really don't know what happened when Oh soo was stubbed by Jin Sung. Oh Soo (Jo In Sung) has always lost the people he has loved. right. The one glaring weakness, for me, was the whole Jin-sung stabs Soo scene. But I'm leaning toward a happy-ever-after both are alive and living and loving ending, because hey, this is K-drama land, and if Young can survive a wrist-slitting, then Soo can survive a fatal knife woundtwice. I love this drama, its been an amazing ride and regardless the ending, i still think its one of the best drama out there, but the last episode wasweird. I just erase it.

But "Nice Guy" completely forgot about its main female lead, leaving her propped up in the corner while they finished out the main guy's story. For me, it's because I only read the recap, and I really thought Young was only imagining it. Either way I guess its a happy ending that they are together! I really liked the beginning (episode 8 was definitely the climax of happiness for me) but then we dove into melo land which culminated in a LOT of crying in the last episode. HeadsNo2, I wish I could meet you in person during the Dramabeans Meetup and personally say how you're one heck of a great writer and thinker but I'll have to be content with this. Soo chaotic and rushed and nonsensical. I cried like a baby. Also, I have to agree that the pace of the finale felt waaaay off. Now that i know there's a happy ending TIME TO WATCH!! I think the idea of ''the best friend as a traitor'' does make sense in this plot. One thing the show did really, really right I thought was its depiction of blindness. Sans a passing mention of the attempt in a confusing conversation where she simultaneously told Soo that she couldnt forgive him yet she still loved him and wanted to be with him, I failed to see the step between I want to die and I want to try living because now Im extra sure you love me. His love couldnt cure her desire to die just one night earlier, but then by the morning after, his love cures all? The bad friends, the conniving fiancee all forgiven and even rewarded, what a message to send to the public. Synopsis. Then, again I don't believe Young would make up such an elaborate story for herself (even in a dream) to "blind" herself from his death. And Marian's nose looks red and raw, When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl, Then nightly sings the staring owl, Tu-whit; Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the show but I just feel disappointed because it could have been a great drama. We can theorize that he had to heal and hide for a bit from Boss Man, and that he was fine as long as he could keep a distant eye on Young. There were a lot of "wth" moments in the last few episodes that were left unresolved. Stop playing with my emotions! Soo keeps an eye on his watch, knowing time is of the essence. To be honest, I was relieved when you wrote that you felt conflicted about the finale and the last few episodes. Beautiful settings and looks, characters with deep scars and flaws. Theyre in it to win it or else. The ending just seemed so fanservice (and I know I have already said that, however, that feeling kept staying with me). I guess that is what fake-outs are for). @picklemonster: That's actually pretty cool -- the not wanting to give false hope thing. Lizzy's tale is pieced together through time jumps, simultaneously exploring her sinister past and rapidly deteriorating present.

He looked dead, but it's possible he just went into shock (I mean his best friend just stabbed him--I would be shocked as hell!). And I guess we underestimate the rate at which human hair can grow. The cafe, the talking people, Soo dressed as a waiter. Over all, I do think rather than a "happy ending" it was more like a "believe what you want" ending. Do-Hoon ( Kam Woo-Sung) and Soo-Jin ( Kim Ha-Neul) are a married couple. but the 'open' ending is so well done, that whenever, however I feel, I could say, ok, Soo is dead or ok, this is a happy ending.

OMGAI thanks so much for recapping this, HeadsNo2 n.n I've literally been coming back to Dramabeans every other hour to see if the recap has been posted yet lol (and all my other hours, I've been watching and re-watching, then rewinding and re-rewatching the same 1 scene from episode 8 of "You're the Best, Lee Soon-shin") haha n.n, It seems to me that the writer changes her mind many times regarding many aspects as she wrote the drama. Unlike some people, I absolutely loved the happy ending. (Just enough to pay Soos debt.) I thought Missing You was running amuck with epic logic fails that just reading recaps confused the heck out of me..But to each their own i guess. So I read Heads' recap and some of the responses to see if I could understand a few more things before I started writing. The blurry images say no. The kissing under the cherry tree was really true not a dream nor an imagination (if it was an imagination, how cruel the mind of Oh youn was, it doesn't make sense). It was so much surer earlier on. For me was obvious oh young didnt regain her sight, she basically could see only soo. Keep attention that in this case, the arrowhead points to the direction to WHICH the wind blows and the beginning of each arrow is FROM where it blows.

Said piece of literature centers on an elderly couple living in England at a time when nuclear hostilities are at their peak. TWTWB, with its muted colors, its intensity 24/7 (made even more intense by all of the close-up shots), its one-dimensional side characters like batshit-crazy So Ra, its hard-to-read heroine, and its contrived plot full of holes, made TWTWB feel quite unreal which would've been fine had it come together as an inspired mythic tale. If it was Young's imagination, why did she have to make it so that Soo only shows himself to her after a year? my friend too had a cancer and took chemo therapy but didn't loose his hair.

I honestly handwave the whole stabbing scene away. And yes, like mentioned above, to show lust and passion. Thank you so much Heads for your recaps. I got tired of the cons, of the directing, of the music. Overall a beautiful drama with beautiful people. Wang was forgiven so easily. Wang stands out for me because Bae Jong Ok was in a bunch of other NHK dramas, always as a fleshed-out character you could empathize with-- but in TWTWB, she was a complex character who did something heinous which she was basically let off the hook for, yet the "why" of it all was never adequately explained to us. I really think they needed another episode to really work the ending right. (Like Lost!, And especially because all the scenes were blurry.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, At times, I couldn't understand OY and I found her irritating sometimes.

Young finally prepares for surgery, as she tells Sun-hee that shes prepared for any eventuality though it would be nice to live through the surgery. Instead of looking so desolate, its now been painted with blooming flowers on the branches. I'll bet Young cut the short way across her arm too, rather than the long way, which would again be what you would do if you actually wanted to die. I thought Soo died. I applaud his professionalism, knowing that this is his first time to have sex scenes. I hate unreasonable story, because it messes my head. That scene jump from cafe to that path lined with cherry blossom trees was so abrupt and strange, kind of like how it would happen in dreams. His stern expression did make me think he matured a bit.

As for suicidal Young, it didn't come as a shock to me. hmmm i thought the flowers were for the real brother Soo? Was this technique not used by both Soo and Young more than a few times throughout the drama? Theres new focus to her eyes she can definitely see. JS looked very sad at the point when he agreed to what Hee-sun suggested but the the face of JS was a type of confused or something that the director suggested for him to do to make us bewildered of what really had happened to Oh soo.

Well, there was no wrenching of the guts here. After watching the last ep, even though we got the happy ending, I felt that it was a frustrating journey. Still, I'm glad that none of the main characters died. Yippee, a happy ending! But seriously, despite its at times heavy flaws- I still love the show. Did the CCTV goons end up getting him because his promise, in a sense, broke (to let Soo & Jin Sung go unscathed)? Eventually he collapses as the bell bracelet chimes, beginning to spasm in his death throes.
