Now that the effect of TKL ending is (sorta actually not really) less crippling, lets talk about the loose ends in the last episode! Namely, Biyeon, Dan, and that narration of Won leaving for Yuan
Would have appreciated at least a flashback to resolve Biyeon and Moosuk’s relationship, and while the whole honey cookies newlywed greeting the father scene was great, I felt like a scene between Dan and Rin was missing? He effectively left without a word to her? Or are words not needed between them to understand each others’ actions? Time constraint is probably why a narration was needed at the end there, but it would have been nice if Won could himself relay to us his decision to head to Yuan. Other than these, and perhaps Song In’s convenient spiral to insanity, the finale sure delivered.
I am still waiting on Viki subs for the finale, but have spoiled myself as much as possible 🙂 Bi Yeon and Dan were definitely left hanging with no closure. I think the show would have done well to have a massive time jump like I heard the novel did and show an older Won with Rin and San’s child. Also – Jin Guan and Jang Ui!
I think things ended up being a bit rushed in the last episode, and the pacing was a bit off the last few weeks. Editing was probably the biggest flaw in the drama for me! I feel like important scenes were left out, and others were stretched.
I couldn’t wait and downloaded it from another site that already has the subs. I’ll watch it on Viki again. I felt that Dan and Rin needed closure as well.
Omg THEY HAD A BABY? Need to get my hands on the novel asap!! But yeah a time jump would’ve been more fulfilling than that expository narration.
Oh man, I really loved Jin Gwan and Jang Ui’s expression when they had to shoot Rin – it legit fooled me even though in the back of my mind I was all “this is impossible! They can’t possibly kill him off in the finale!! what an outrage that would be!”
The pacing definitely sped up in this last few episodes – so many things went down so quickly, it was hard on the heart.
Re: editing, do you think the writer has any say in which scenes get cut? I think sound-wise, it was pretty alright; the music wasn’t excessive in crucial scenes.
Oh I think the music, sound, and cinematography in general were excellent! One of things that drew me in. I do feel like that they cut certain scenes that would have helped understand the story and some of the characters better. I wonder about the writer having a say too. Makes me want to see a director’s cut longer version or see the script 🙂

Right? Even Jeon and Minister Song’s plot lines were tied up in the end, and here I was waiting for (at least) a sibling farewell.
