Descendants Of The Sun's Rather Weird Finale

I just finished Descendants of the Sun and it didn't matter if I finished it past Valentine's -- it's a freaking captivating series yet it has one weird finale. Yup, I thought that the finale was written with mostly flashbacks and the whole thought that both Shi Jin and Dae Young were supposedly dead and declared dead. I find it crazy why do certain deaths have to be kept anonymous? It's freaking bizarre... really. And I thought about how the finale in itself is pretty weird. 

So why let the audiences know only in the FINALE to why Shi Jin and Dae Young were gone missing for a year? It does explain why he couldn't call or even let anyone he's alive. He's in a trauma being caught in the enemy camp. Who knows what torture did to his brain and body. I guess he was too traumatized to even remember anything or to recover quick. This shocks Mo Yeon to see her supposedly dead boyfriend alive. They were rescued by Joon Joon but that wouldn't make up for all the trauma the two experienced from being tortured and lived to tell the tale. Good thing they came out with complete set of limbs or I can't imagine how they'd live without them after the war! Real war torture has been MUCH WORSE than what's depicted in the flashback.

I always thought the whole one year trauma and missing your supposedly deceased boyfriend can do a lot of serious harm to anyone. I really wanted to cry with Mo Yeon whenever she wants to remember him. Part of me wished I were in the story to try and own her now that Si Jin is supposedly out of the picture. They meet after so long and she thinks she's hallucinating. It turns out that he was so much alive. I was touched by the moment. Later, Si Jin gets promoted in his rank for his heroism which was denied for too long.

The love story of Dae Young and Myung Joo is another story. The general nearly regrets losing him though I seldom love the whole "nasa huli ang pagsisisi" or "regret is at the end" type of stories. But I'm glad that both of them got their happy ending after a year of war. I wasn't too much of a fan of the two but still I'm glad that they got to be together.

For me, I wish the finale were written in a bit more straightforward way like most Korean drama. I find the finale a bit confusing to follow if you ask me. Anyway, I still find it not too surprised that they ended up together. It made me wish (in part) that Mitsuomi Takahashi and Haruka Suenaga ended with each other instead of their real life partners even if we're talking about entirely two different shows. 

So I'm done and I think I might rewatch it -- but I want to try and finish Hwayugi ASAP. But this makes me think should I take a temporary break from any Toku show or will I enjoy my Korean kimbap with Japanese ramen? Hehehe!

"Light The Night's" Finale (Spoilers Ahead)

  SpikyTV I guess the series just kept us guessing, right? I finally got the chance to finish it after some busy nights. I was right that the killer was HANA (Esther Liu) BUT there's a twist - it was more of voluntary manslaughter than murder. Manslaughter is when one kills out of the heat of passion and that's what Hana did twice in the story. Hana had one against a client who used her and another against Sue after some unfortunate insanity attack. Hana ends up planning to hand herself over but her lover commits murder (towards a character named Chiang An) to protect her.  The whole psychological thriller for me just didn't match up to what I wanted. I guess I was too used to how Victim's Game rolled out. I was expecting some real murder scheme. Instead, it was the anti-climatic manslaughter where Hana decides to hand herself to the authorities after what she did. I really still think that the finale wasn't worth too much of the wait. I was expecting something gran

I Just Finished "My Golden Life"

I finally finished My Golden Life which I was hesitant to watch. 52 one-hour long episodes? I was thinking it was easier to watch the Wuxia series that had 40+ minutes per episode such as Princess Weiyang which was quite long. A lot of episodes of My Golden Life would have a few minutes more depending on the coverage of the episode. So, I'm done and I never thought I'd actually finish it since I'm way too used to short K-Dramas. This one was rather long but it was rather entertaining in many ways. I was thinking about how Shin Hye Sun actually did well with on-screen partner Park Si Hoo. Sometimes, I'd like to joke about how they had a chemistry that looked good and felt good. Looked good? Both aren't attractive and I often joke how Hye Sun's face feels melted or how she was rightfully matched with Lee Jong Suk in Hymn of Death . Hye Sun isn't pretty but she really makes up with her good acting and likability. The same goes for Si Hoo with how he acts out hi

Just Finished "My Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (Some Spoilers)

  This is another Wuxia series finished. I was having some expectations broken. The show can be full of spoilers when discussed even further. In fact, some characters are walking spoilers. If you're not ready to be spoiled - DON'T READ. If not, you can read further. I feel the show had some plot twists and turns. Besides, maybe some of the villains in this show weren't as evil as you think.  Emperor Liancheng is an antagonist but dies before the show can end. Liancheng may have some idiotic obsession with Ma Fuya. It becomes even worse when Liancheng's younger sister Liansi and his younger brother Lianxi get involved. Liansi develops a crush on Meng Qiyou and even gets pregnant in the process. It seems that Ma Fuya was pregnant with Liancheng's baby but ends up in Qiyou's household after Liancheng dies. Liancheng dies doing a selfless act to save Ma Fuya. The obsessive empress Ma Xiangyun commits suicide to kill Emperor Liancheng. Emperor Liancheng's quite a
