Ok, someone who has seen the end, please spoil me (details are fine) because I'm scared of watching a sad end and I need to know what happens. Thanks!

It's sad, but I knew Chief Nam was going to die the moment he said he was about to retire...

Yeah, if I had been warned, I would have done that too.

Well, it was very random and rushed. One day out of the blue, Xia Yao discovers a worker has fallen down a well and while he is lowered down to help the guy, all the other workers can somehow only pull the one guy out and they leave Xia Yao down there and it's supposed to be freezing water. Yuan Zong finds out and rushes to save him but then they both end up down there and it takes too long for Yuan Zong to get out (it's just really stupid) and so they both end up in the hospital and although Xia Yao is ok, Yuan Zong loses his toes and (get this!) they say that Xia Yao can be some sort of incubator for new toes, like, they'll grow inside him or something. It was so dumb, I couldn't believe it was happening. Then, at the very end, there's this really weird animated scene that's so out of place where the guy that had been the one to 'traumatize' Xia Yao (when he had seen him on the computer but thought was a girl) shows up out of no where. Anyway, like I said, overall I liked the show but it end was just crazy and made no sense. Watch it, though, you'll probably get a laugh out of it. I call Simon Gong "Incubator" because of it. :)

Ha! I really liked Advance Bravely but it's a little crazy at the end so prepare yourself.

Thanks for the info!

I was just about to post that exact thing! Soooooooooo looking forward to this. Can we just time travel to next year??

I was worried about this ending the entire show, because I watched the Chinese version but seriously, even one of those endings had him meet someone who looked like the emperor in the present, so even that was .... something. But the way they ended this is just so wrong. You are not that cheery when you lose the person you love forever! Also, the King knew something was off and you'd think sooner or later, he'd have to know that wasn't the person he had fallen in love with. I loved it up until they ruined it, but now, just sigh.

Oh, this is so great! I always hoped for a sequel but after this long, I wasn't thinking it likely. But now I'm really looking forward to it!

Yeah, I definitely would have preferred for him to at least have his memories, but perhaps that would have just made him sad, knowing that because of him, Xiao Bai had to give so much up, but overall I liked it.

Oh, ok. Well, that's fine then. Thanks for the reply!

Can you please spoil me on the ending? Like, how was it sad? Did they have to part or something? Did someone die? I've love to know before I decide to watch. (I can't take much sadness right now, especially when bromance is involved.) Thank you in advance!

Shin Hye Sun is nailing this role! I love her so much, she just makes the show! (The voiceover work by Choi Jin Hyuk is also awesome, though.)

Ok, I know a lot of people go on about how Rang's death was deserved because of ... blah blah blah, I don't care about any of that. This isn't law and order and I really, really don't see the point of bringing morals into a show about gumihos. (The so-called rules they always brought up were changed to suit whatever the writer wanted anyway.) The only reason why I watched this was because of Rang and his relationship with Yeon. That was all I cared about and for a show that did whatever the crap it wanted to, being a supernatural fantasy and all, they could have easily ended this differently. Rang could have been brought back, even if he died or whatever, and then did a lot of good deeds, or something. ANYTHING! But no, they bring him back as a kid who has no memories of his brother. This ... ruins the show for me. I'm having a hard time rating it, because I LOVED the bromance between them and how they grew as characters throughout the story, but then, to just throw it all away like it was nothing makes me quite angry and disappointed. And nothing rubs salt in a wound more than to have stupid, cheesy scenes of 'romance' between the main couple after you've just killed off my favorite character for your own irritating agenda. Badly done, show! Badly done!

Liked it overall, but for the light parody it was, the ending was annoying to me. They could have ended it so much better, with or without a season 2.

Yes, exactly! I'll try to recall only the good things I liked about it, and have amnesia with the things I didn't care for. :)

Totally agree! I kept expecting SOMETHING about Jung Mi Sook and her husband, and for such long episodes, there definitely could have been at least one scene about them reuniting, but nothing? And although overall I did like the drama a lot, I was very disappointed that Moo Jin and Hae Soo didn't clearly become a couple because, come on, you know they liked each other. It's just like they HAD to throw in a "going to study abroad" trope along with an amnesia one in the last episode because they had subverted so many tropes in previous episodes and they needed to fill a trope quota or something. Sigh. It just kept it from being great, in my opinion, which is sad because it had been so good for so long.

There are two relationships that I personally love here. The one between the grandmother (unrelated) and Eun Ha, and the one between Moo Jin, Hyun Soo and Hae Soo. They are both really complicated and not exactly "good" relationships, but they are very interesting and kinda funny and I hope we get more of them. I really think Moo Jin and the Baek siblings could all get along good together as long as Hae Soo plays interrupter and referee.

Ok, thanks, I'll check it out.

I want to watch this soooo bad, (I LOVED the movie) but my heart has been broken so many times with J dramas, because I'll start one I love, then it never gets subbed completely. So, I'll hold back until it's finished. I've learned my lesson.
