HdL#14 It was not a disaster – just underwhelming. Also bus stops make me cry. Bring on the final week and some proper cute to compensate for the whole CM mess.

    The resolution to CM’s story felt way too easy and cheap (there may have been some logic to that sequence of events but with CS in the same situation I can imagine things would have played out very differently. CM’s way was reasonable, but also wishy-washy and cowardly — just like his love for MW; and the guy really has zero sense of shame – the last look of him trying to drag MW with him made me want to punch him all over again)… but at least I am not raving mad at the end of it. And the really big bonus is that I don’t have to see smirkalot ever again.

    MG’s misdirect was cruel and pointless. MW deciding that she loves CS too much to hurt him, but pretending to do it for a suicide-by-MG… still not sure what i feel about that. And I definitely can’t emotionally connect with the MW ‘forgiving’ CM scene. That felt all kinds of wrong.

    CS breaking down was the closest i’ve been to crying this whole week’s episodes. He was really a rock through this all. Fighting til the last moment, trusting her til the very end… She better be back soon, and kiss him senseless for his troubles. [a reiteration of the taking off clothes and sleep together offers would not go amiss either…]

    Side characters held on to the fort during this all mess: the invincible trio coming up to CS’s defense, protesting against the change in management and ms. Choi taking care of MW made this a tolerable episode for me. But I am still grumpy.

    So now what? amnesia troupe with CS making her fall in love with him all over again? Her keeping her promise to him and holding on to their memories while forgetting the hurtful past? I am assuming the she can’t leave before all her flowers die and her flowers living in CS’s heart means that once she is back the only time she has to leave again is with CS by hear side…

    We also still have to send off the hotel staff… but if she is not leaving yet, do we really? I am all confused about what the last 2 eps are there to achieve… Lots of fan service? I suppose I can live with that…

      I never liked Smirkalot.

      “I am assuming the she can’t leave before all her flowers die and her flowers living in CS’s heart means that once she is back the only time she has to leave again is with CS by hear side…”

      Nice catch! That’s probably how this will go. I’ve thought from the very beginning the writers will give Chan Sung and Man Wol a happy ending, i.e. a long life together – and couldn’t figure out how they would logic their way into it. But that must be it!

      Agreed on the resolution to CMs story being too easy and cheap – after that grand buildup, I wanted more. It left me feeling very underwhelmed.
