Unusual Ending But Still Worth The Watch
There’s been a lot of disappointed comments about this drama because of the way it ended. Contrary to being disappointed, I actually liked the ending of this story.
I enjoyed the development of their characters during their mutual dream, it was preparing them for what should have been from the beginning, rather than making the wrong choice from their youth on. Their shared dream gave them hope to fight back when things got difficult instead of surrendering to the problems that arose. The dream cleared their minds of the nonsense and put them on the right path.
I enjoy the ML’s acting. He is quite talented and needs more roles like this. Support characters are fine, but he is capable of so much more, and I Hope he is able to get better roles after this.
The FL was equally talented and she is absolutely beautiful. Her character switch from a young girl with her head in cotton candy colored heart shaped clouds of love into the confident, intelligent woman who tackled things head on and with her partner actually is more inspiring than being pampered and treated like a canary in a guilded cage like many C-dramas portray women. She embodied what a strong woman’s character looks like.
The development of the leads relationship in the dream was also very well done. It wasn’t all fluff and acquiescing of the male to make the FL happy. He was a leader by example, he had strong morals, was patient and let the people on his team develop and use their strengths to do amazing things in their field.
I think people were disappointed that it really wasn’t a fantasy come true because it was a dream as they were stuck in the dream itself. And, when they woke up from the dream it was a shock, and were bound by analysis paralysis trying to figure out why it happened, yet ignored the last few minutes of the final episode.
The elevator they originally got on was closed down - meaning what happened in the past would not be happening again. The dream was a set up for the dream to become reality.
When the FL was able to get on the elevator they both knew what would be happening from that moment forward, and when the elevator bounced they both reached for each others hand, and that act let each of them know that they remembered what happpened during their dream.
Rather than continuing down their separate paths, they would face difficulties together and the life they shared in the dream was real, not a actually a dream that would vanish.
I personally found the ending quite satisfactory because it was the start of their shared dreamscape coming to life.
It was disappointing to see the FL’s brother so destitute at the end, but also gave hope that the relationship he was so invested in still had a chance. Even though he was not comatose with his sister, his trajectory was changed for the better because the leads had changed.
The only thing that they didn’t give away at the end was the outcome of the 2ML. But after thinking about it, maybe that’s because he never should have been there in the first place.
So if you are wondering whether or not to watch this drama because of the comments and disappointed ending reviews, I suggest you watch it. It’s good - acting, story, cast, directing, script, OST. All those elements combined were beautifully wrapped up in hands united in love and mutual respect.
