Today I finished watching Life on Mars

This show really a good representation of β€œyou can’t wait to watch the next episode, but at the same time, afraid with what will happen next”

I sincerely afraid with what the ep 15-16 will give me… so I wait until the very next day to completed it

Now I already finished it,
I’m speechless tbh, THIS IS A GREAT DRAMA FOR SURE
But I’m not sure if this is really a happy ending that I want
I get to see his smile but why my heart hurts?

    Since ep 15, I’m pretty sure this is not time travel… it was really Taejoo’s coma dream and this opinion is supported by 2018 Chief Ahn Min Sik’s explanation

    at his first coma, he still have desire to live, to going back (to real life)
    and part of me thinking that’s because he’s not ready to leave his mom alone, and he need to know with his own eyes that Seohyun is safe and sound

    After he woke up, we learned that He don’t need to be worry about that anymore, and these two womans sincerely want him to be happy…
    It was like validation for what he will do afterwards..

    He jumps off from the building… so he can go back to his dream (1988) to save his friends

    with that he’s back to coma state (the conversation between him and his doctor showed that)

    And after successfully save the 1988 team,
    He still had chance to wake up again (that transfer note indicate that he could still be saved, he only needed to go back)

    But at the end.. he chose to tear up that transfer note, he chose to turn off the radio…
    He really had no desire to β€œreturn”
    He prefers to β€œlive” in his happy dream rather than in real life
    it really shows how unhappy his life was before..
    and that fact makes me depressed

    I’m happy he can reunited with 1988 team, trully happy
    But with him β€œshutting down” his own life, that’s mean no hope.. An ending without hope is the thing I hate the most, because it makes me feel miserable… and the epilogue didn’t help at all

    Maybe the only theory that can ease my mind is he never been in coma state, he already dead since the very beginning (after being shot), and the 1988 journey is him in limbo, trying to let go what’s he leave behind, and finally make a peace and going to afterlife
