somewhere in lee dong gun's contract it states that he is the leading man. as the show progressed the writers and directors WANTED her to end up se joo, but they couldnt b/c if that happened then Se Joo would be the leading man, so they found a way around it.

or maybe these people just cant follow a plot from point a to point b

Apparently the viewers wanted her to end up with Se Joo, so the storyline was changed. I think a lot of the stuff wasn't planned, the parallel universe plot was a mess. I felt kind of sad for the characters at the end - except for oppa who seemed to be the only winner with his job, his house, his wife, his kids, and his trip to the north pole thing.

The idea itself was not bad. It was a slice of life about characters living with regret and trying not to live with the same regret all over.. But the writer should have stuck to slice of life and not combine it with silly time travel when she can;t do time travel. SPOILERS Especially annoying was what happened to the older Mi Rae. So suddenly she wasn't Mi Rae? How stupud can you get? And then she was something like amnesia? Seriously, it was the most pathethic part of the ending I liked that Mi Rae seened happy though. I think overall Mi rae is an identifiable character, more than standard korean characters- she's single, she's struggling with work, she's got a great brother, she's not yet married.

The conclusion WAS a mess though. I am convinced it was all only for the sake of ratings- the hope was in Young Hwa fans. But it's Lee Dong gun and Mi Rae's brother that were the highlights of the drama.

The fragment that I really liked though was when the other female lead....SPOILER told the Ahjumma Mi Rae that she was being sel-fcentred destroying the loves of everyone around her just so she can be happy. That's right. She was cauing a train wreck... The wors part is there were really no genuinely meaningful lessons learned...there were some, but not enough to make this story substantial enough.

I felt happy for the brother though, he was cool, energetic and caring character. [bitter] I guess there was no need to compromise his story for popularity because it;s not like the audience even noticed him [/bitter] he was lovely though.

It wasn't very deep either -.- Especially because she was like trying to be hipster and trendy with drama instead of doing what she and her sister do best and sticking to her vision of story (like in king2hearts ex), no she had to try and compromise her story for popularity: oh I have Yong Hwa, and oh I have this plot, so why not make it a time travel with parallel universe... Add this here, add THAt there, it's going to be cool and popular because yeah the Yong Hwa is there.

I got REALLY annoyed with this drama.
