I dont know, ive watched almost all interviews and press conferences and i never heard lee jin wook say something about wanting his character to die. In fact in one interview when asked about the series he said he would want to continue acting in it (this interview was when voice 3 was airing i believe). It's likely that the writer told him his character would end and he discussed how they would shoot the scene. I could have missed something though so if you have the link to the interview where he said he knew how voice 3 would end can you send it to me?

Train and ghost detective are two dramas
1) Train
2) Ghost Detective

Also i recommend the shows train and ghost detective for similar chemistry between leads. Both end well too

I dont think it was his decision. From the interviews of the writer, it seems to be like it was the makers who decided it. But i have never seen a director or writer apologise for a show's ending. But for voice 3, the director had to apologise because of the reaction. Just shows how it impacted everyone. Continuing to disregard the feelings of the fans won't help them. Ratings speak for themselves. Season 4 could not surpass the first 3 seasons despite them airing on a smaller channel (OCN)

Also i doubt lee jin wook would ever turn down voice. He's friends with lee hana and has been for many years. I believe it is one of his most successful shows and he did mention that he would love to keep acting in it (this was before season 3 ended though)

Remember that scene in season 3 when kang centre tells do kang woo about how she got her hearing loss? How t he car accident gave her enhanced hearing? It was so strange how she mentioned that and then do kang woo gets shot in the head. Its very much possible that it could have hit the area where the problem was in the first place.
Apparently the writer said that do kang woo was always meant to die. But the his statement after season 4 contradicts this. The fact that a grave scene was deleted from the script means that they make have thought about changing things. Many people assume that the scene was deleted because of time constraints but if that were true then they could have added it in season 4.
However if this truly is the end for team leader do, this is where i must part ways with the series. I tried to watch season 4. I tried to give it a chance but do kang woo's death is too fresh and derek cho is too bland (it's not necessarily SSH at fault here. Jang hyuk and lee jin wook were just made for the series). If they dont bring back do kang woo next season, I'll just pretend s3 was the last one and leave it at that. I cant watch something that gives me pain. And plus its not like his death was logical in the first place. Why give us the hope of a cure if he were to die? Why show everyone finally rallying behind him and trusting him then ending it all? Why keep bang je soo alive if do kang woo was to die? The makers cant be that insensitive. And why kill him in the first place? Even if they wanted a new lead, they could have simply ended season 3 like season 2 with do kang woo leaving for America for treatment. It was just unnecessarily cruel. So either he's brought back, or i part ways with the show.

But why is everyone calling it a bittersweet ending?

Can someone please let me know what the ending is like? Ive been waiting for the show to end so that i can binge watch it, but i hate tragic endings. Does someone from the 4 main leads die? Obviously i don't mind spoilers

I feel like jisoo fans are trying to make this all about her and the hate against her when thats not even it. They keep forgetting that this is not twitter, this isnt a blackpink concert, this isnt a bunch of antis attacking their fave. This is about a legitimate concern many have regarding distortion of history. Jisoo being in this drama does not have anything to do with it.

You have given hope to alot of people here :) this is also something i have been telling people (since i am doctor myself)
Also i think lee jin wook was supposed to be in season 4 but maybe there were scheduling conflicts?

Yeah i sympathise with the korean viewers. I know if a drama distorted my country's history, people would have reacted the same way. But at the same time i think people should at least let a few episodes air rather than asking for it to be shut down immediately. Because in that way if in future it's revealed that the show is not going to distort history everyone will be appeased, but if it does distort then no one, not even hard core fans would be able to argue against it. So maybe wait for 5 or 6 episodes to air. Because if this shuts down prematurely we'll have fans saying that everyone had an agenda with the actual problem being buried.

Why are you losing it over every person saying something about jisoo that you don't like? This isn't twitter, this is mdl. You are going to have to deal with people critically analysing the cast. Go check out the comments under every drama, everyone leaves comments regarding the cast and the acting. But because jisoo is in the drama, blinks are going to make this a toxic place as well. Be nice to people. This isnt a Blackpink concert that fans are watching, this is a drama with many other actors. Also the OP never said something wrong or offensive, i dont understand why you blew up. They said that the drama had a famous writer-director duo and an ensemble cast so even if jisoo wasnt the main lead, it would have still been hyped up and that's true. Why take offense?

Im surprised this is getting spinoffs but no news regarding season 3 :/ are they trying to build up anticipation for it by giving us crumbs in the form of spinoffs?

No updates yet? I was so excited when i first heard about this but i guess this is going to be a project that is forgotten....sad considering how big of a hit the show was

For me it would be
The guest! I loved loved the ost. Both the male and female versions and when it played in the final episode during the THAT scene, man i had goosebumps. And when they performed the exorcisms.....i just loved how the ost was used and kept wanting to keep playing in the background
Kill me Heal me. Was liking the show and then bam! The ost comes on and im like, im gonna love this show.
Goblin. No surprise considering how it has the ost with the most views. Almost every ost was hauntingly beautiful minus the one that played for the grim reaper and sunny. Wasnt bad but was a little different from the the other sound tracks.
Voice. This series was already epic but then we have the ost. Im not sure about the name but it goes from this sad ballad in season 1, to a rock ballad in season 2, to growls and screams in season 3. I loved all 3 versions and i was sad that it wasn't a part of season 4. But then again i don't think they could have made it any more rock than the one in season 3 :P
Train. Loved the ost. It added to the drama's atmosphere
My mister. My personal favourites were adult by sondia and rainbow. These two osts made the show even more amazing than it already was.
The devil judge. I mostly loved the instrumentals but it made the show even more badass
The uncanny counter. I loved seojong's ost and all the instrumentals
Hometown. I loved the show and how creepy it was. Then the intrumental ans osts came and it just added to the whole experience. Made me want to look over my shoulder

I'd like to add that while i didn't like hotel del luna as much, i did love the osts so dont know whether this fits here

I love the abyss from the devil judge!

I dropped these too. Plus vincenzo. I feel like the hype around these shows raised my expectations too high. If they hadn't been that hyped perhaps, might not have dropped them. Im not saying I would have liked them but perhaps my disappointment would not have been so great.
I also have a few of my faves on the list and while it's a little jarring, i guess thats the beauty of differing opinions. Which ones are your faves? Mine would be the guest, goblin, Signal, sweet home, memories of alhambra, beyond evil, cheese in the trap, scarlet heart, the uncanny counter

We still have time though right? I mean as far as i know the writer is still working on the script and the show probably will start shooting in 2022. So far lee jin wook has maybe one show lined up.

I honestly wouldn't mind if they end the season with kang centre hearing her name called out and turning to see do kang woo standing there smiling at her without any of his pain and angst. That ending would make my day. Also I would love to see maybe a cameo from jang hyuk too (considering how i think that for the next season we may be heading to America)

I would watch it without hesitation! It hurt me to drop this season but it just wasnt it for me. If they can bring back moo jin hyuk and do kang woo for once blockbluster final season 5, i think the ratings would sky rocket. But it would be a little hard for the script writer to incorporate so many characters that are all main lead material
