Question..... ". What kind of ending would you not want to see in QOT". ❥❥❥❥Do you think Eunsung will…
I decided as much as I LOVE happily ever afters, I dont want it for this one unless its somehow realistic and tastefully done. (i.e. no call from doc hey! jk, the scans were wrong. or huzzah! theres a magic pill from zimbabwe and it'll cure you!) There hasnt been any miracles leading up to episode 12. Her illness has been very realistic and standard and reflective of a terminal illness where she is given only 3 months to live. Symptoms are progressing quickly and theyre not just your average headache, shes actually losing facial recognition, not realizing time has passed and getting physically lost.
I mentioned a few days ago that it'd probably be a bittersweet ending. She'll likely have a few years to live and enjoy time with Hyunwoo and her entire family. Share wonderful moments celebrating life but she will inevitably pass. She may be survived by a couple of her children too if writers want to go that route.
I hate Eunsong too as much as the next person but I do feel for the guy. If you think about, his life sucks. Its literally a living h*ll. Mom had him in prison, he was abandoned to an orphanage and abused there, had to move to a different country and was abused by his adoptive parents. ALL THE WHILE, he actually knew his real mother. There's a difference when parents pass away and are forced to leave their child. But when a parent willingly abandons their kid, thats some next level psychological childhood trauma ish. I think his mother is the one to blame here, more than anyone. I think she deserves retribution and I can't wait to see her day of reckoning.
Note: I am NOT invalidating his evil deeds bc he had a rough childhood. He'll probably end up in prison in a small cell watching Queens empire grow and Baekhong on television super happy celebrating one trillion club. Then his heart will shatter into a million pieces when her death is announced on television and he cannot go to the funeral and he has zero fond memories of them together to fall back on. So he continues to live with paralyzing trauma, deep remorse and overwhelming guilt for the rest of his days in prison, where he was born.
I think this is highly unlikely. I think the drama would want grandpa to go out with dignity and on his own terms.…
interesting notion. the idea of what is worse for a character - suicide vs murder. anyone else care to chime in?
although i dont think writers or anyone for that matter was glorifying suicide. id like to think no one was clapping when grandpa clutched tightly to his wheels and started pushing forward. I mean, i was tearing up myself.
Random thought: What if grandpa didn’t commit s**cide but was k*lled instead by Seul Hee or Eun Seong? What…
I think this is highly unlikely. I think the drama would want grandpa to go out with dignity and on his own terms. he’s the patriarch of the Hong empire. to be killed by the hands of those cockroaches seems a bit offensive to his character.
not to mention they need him alive so she can continue to have power of attorney over all his possessions
I have been thinking similar to you, and I dare say that Haein will be saved when he has some transplant that…
I’m no oncologist or neurosurgeon but I don’t think you can get transplants specifically for gliomatosis cerebri. it’s not like leukemia where someone can get bone marrow transplants.
I’d like to think he came to terms with his faults and accomplishments. and in the end, he’s always been a…
I’m surprised the drama didnt tie up loose ends with beomja and the older brother before grandpas passing. I’m surprised but also okay with it. I think it’s realistic. sometimes in life, actually, oftentimes in real life, you really don’t get that second chance…
I consider it quite unnecessary to commit suicide to Grandpa Hong and I think the parasitic family has already…
I’d like to think he came to terms with his faults and accomplishments. and in the end, he’s always been a family man. I think he realized as a hostage, he harms his family more than he can protect it. so his solution really is to kill himself to protect his fam to the end
People with money and power are attracted to those with money and power. Haeins mom is no different and Eunsong…
I guess I think of it like, Hong family probably wouldn’t want to associate with common folk people. they would assume commoners are after their money. but if they meet a seemingly equal invidual with status and financial backing, then they would be less inclined to think he/she is after their money. they’d probably want to join hands with them to be even more powerful
I do think he escaped murder rather easily but as someone described above, the thing with lawyers is they assess the entire situation and find the weakest point. then they blow it up to create doubt for the judge/jury so they can swing the case their way. so in this case, hyunwoo probably knew the trust or relationship between that real estate scammer and Eunsong was faltering. OR he was taking a gamble just bc Eunsong is not a trustworthy person to begin with. so he blew it up and created doubt in this scammers mind that Eunsong isn’t going to follow through and tHAT coupled with eunsong’s response was enough for him to lose all faith. PLUS hyunwoo recited punishment to him, he could either get probation with pleading or 20 years. so bad guy is probably thinking wait should I risk this??
saw someone listing finding that guy's mother scene as "unnecessary"😭why tho. if that scene didn't happen we…
it was me. guilty! we already know their relationship is developing. i'd rather that screentime be used for the leads, it was just too long. i do like that moment they shared about taking care of her dad. that was foreshadowing of what was to come. i think that scene with probably some longer gazes and sweet music would have been enough to convince the audience that their relationship is blossoming. no need for mom getting lost. but thats just meeee
