9. The red sleeve

(i have NOT researched the historical aspects of the drama)
i had liked the drama a lot, (just so you know)

And i was mentally prepared to have a sad ending when the drama had shown  the death of king's son, his beloved wife (our FL) on the deathbed (and her death too), and how heartbroken the king was.

i cried buckets n buckets watching that episode.


Wait a sec !
what ?
all it was a dream? 

 (that he witnessed while taking a nap in her lap on the porch)

(means all that my crying was in vain?)

i will not deny that i felt better to see both of them and their love (eternal) transcends time and creates a space of their own. (i am not sure it was afterlife or in the same life time, time travels back)

But this time-travel element ruined the ending for me which was otherwise supposed to be a sad (good sad) and historical and well written and well directed and romantic and a very very beautiful drama. 

I don't think it was a time travel, it's an open ending and I had the theory about three possible interpretations:

1) it's historically accurate, and their reunion it's old man ML's fever dream/dream while dying

2) it's not historically accurate, she didn't die, he didn't live alone, the whole situation was his nightmare and he woke up as a young man on her lap in the garden

3) it's historically accurate and their reunion happened in the afterlife, in the their happiest moment together


I prefer the first one when I want drama and the last one when I want to sweeten the pill

4. The Heirs - matching sneakers

5. Forest - she wanted to buy clothes but couldn't afford and didn't want him to buy, so he asked shop assistant to play along and FL bought it for "huge discount"

Don't know if it's count

6. Queen of Tears - FL could get anything but it wasn't her style (or she wore sponsored high heels), so ML brought her sneakers as a gift, so she could walk comfortably

@Ahn Sarang,

That dream part, I termed it as time-travel. 

Yes, it was not exactly the time travel but taking us to the future and bringing back to the present, kinda felt like one.

I liked your three possibilities, the first one (even though it is bitter), goes with the theme of the drama and follows the flow.

Thanks for sharing your views. 

It's also may be considered a flashback, just extended version :) 

I guess it's time for a new topic
