I loved the symbolism it had. For example: the carpenter is in the ending asleep: this is how he lives his life. He lives in a dreamworld.
I realize the carpenter is 'just a tool' in the progression of this movie. It was never his story. But still it bothered me we never get to know what happened to him. But I guess there is no mystery there: he will probably do exactly like he told he would do.
Although it is a beautiful story, it did give me somewhat of a bitter taste in the end. It is Wang Li who wants to redeem herself, but it is Wang Bo who dies for it. Redemption comes at a price I guess. I wonder who is better off: Bo or Li?
And was it all worth it in the end? Li did get some sort of forgiveness for her deeds, but it seems like she is very unhappy. Like Bo said: 'No good deed goes unpunished'. I guess it is harder to live life the right way, then it is to live life the easy way. Still, there should have been a better way to resolve this all. But then we wouldn't have been able to see this film.
I don't know if I should watch this. The story sounds great, but the problem is I have a really hard time finishing dramas with Lee Seung Gi in it. I get annoyed by him easily. How is his acting in this series? Does he get to be a little serious, or does he play a narcissistic brat? Any opinions?

Hello! Yes, it was a shame, because I think the show really had potential. The execution was just not that great.
I don't know why, but I can never finish a drama with him in it. His acting just kind of annoys me. Maybe its the roles he plays (like in gumiho and king 2 hearts) he starts out as a annoying dude. However, I've seen lots of dramas start this way and the guys there I could easily forgive.
It is interesting the article and the video both have references to Twilight. To me it seems Robert Pattinson is a typical Western Flower Boy, but this is not mentioned.
In the ending made me so sad for 14. Well, for all of them, but he did save her for just friendship and ended up loving her too. And I just love 13. Even though he had a lot of hardship, he did never turn 'bad'.
I did like this drama. I think it is great if you want something light and fluffy. However, the problem with this show is that there isn't a big plot, a heartbreaking problem or a really evil enemy. It is just a bit... grey... However even without this I really liked it. At some point Jin Rak annoyed me and about halfway I was getting a bit itchy because of Go Dok Mi. But I wasn't shouting at my screen.. like I sometimes do with other series. I loved Geum. I did feel the characters had depth and developed throughout the story. And I liked there view on love. It doesn't matter if you are the same or if you are different. If you love each other and just give it a go, you will never regret it. I had a long distance relation for a long time. And now we are nearly for 10 years together. I moved to another country for him. And now I have been away from him for more then 2 months for study. But even though I miss him, there is no drama. Because when you have love and trust, you can do anything in the world and be happy with it.
