Man from the Equator Episode 20

Let's be honest, for a finale, it was kind of weak!

Overall, a good episode but I guess I was expecting a little more. There was a lot of flashback scenes to previous episodes, I was happy to see the young Sun Woo and Jang Il actor's again. The funny thing was every scene between Sun Woo and Jang Il, I was expecting Jang Il to bash Sun Woo over the head again! Every time, Jang Il was behind Sun Woo, I was nervous as heck :-D! When they had the scenes where Jang Il was hospitalized in a mental hospital, all I kept thinking of is "He's faking! Temporary insanity defense!" Boy, I had serious mistrust issues with his character! Everything was resolved but the one nagging question at the end was what happened to Jang Il? You heard mentioned as if he was still alive after the cliff scene but they did not show what had happened so we are clueless. Sun Woo's blindness that kept coming and going just miraculously healed itself. Had a problem with that. I had a problem with him taking off without Ji Won but it was nice that she went after her man at the end. And guess what! The first tears we ever got to see her shed! I was convinced she was a robot! But all and all, this was worth watching from beginning to end. Repeat factor-90% (there are some episodes I would skip). Much props to Uhm Tae Woong and Lee Joon Hyun for stellar performances. And last but not least, why did the ending Sun Woo look younger than all of the previous episodes? Was there a change in stylist!?
