Hmm, and drama with tragic ending, but good one and suiting the whole story is not worth watching?

I'm prepared for some tragedy. Always have been. Since that damned characters chart.
And I need to cry lately, I need that badly, life's being a b*tch.
Don't stone me, but I still haven't seen 15 and 16... yes, I'm bad.
But I have a good company^^

If drama is this good, then I don't really care about the ending, because I know - either way it's going to be quite suitable and worth watching. Just like it was with Bad Guy(if I remember correctly), Iris and few more.

aility · Post by **aility** » Jan 8th, '11, 10:26

I agree with the Neliets and Ethlenn, some dramas is be wrapped up more nicely/realistically even if the ending is not "Happy ever after". Although Secret Garden has this semi-fairytale vibe over it, our hero is not exactly the hero of our dreams. But anyhow, I wouldnt mind a realistical one, or open one, as long as they dont do they "Separation because it is for their own goods, then some years later, they meet again and everything is fine", I seriously DISLIKE those ones, although some are also fitting.

anyway, as long as the ending makes sense!! I dont mind! And eventhough I havent seen bad guy, but I read all the recaps, that ending was just HUUUUH; WTF?!! IMO.

Orion1986 · Post by **Orion1986** » Jan 8th, '11, 10:53

I personally think the ending should fit the tone. If the whole, or almost whole series has been laughs and fun, tragedy is just too sudden. The audience is not prepared for it.
If a movie is sad or has tragic elements from the get go, then you expect it more and it also suits the story more. Why show the cute and funny side of it if you plan to end it in tears?

I mean, there are some works that, from the very beginning, do show signs of both. So you are ready for anything. But to make a happy story and suddenly turn it tragic, nah. Not for me.
It seems others don't have a problem with it, but I do. If I watch something because it's light and fun, I don't want it to do a 180 and turn tragedy after it's lured me in with promise of joy.
When I feel like watching something more serious, I watch it. And there are works you know you can't be sure will have a good ending. But then you chose if you want to watch knowing that.

With series, it's even more so. If the viewer thinks "Well, this looks happy and light. I'll watch it" and has invested hours to watching something they think will give them some light in their lives,
you just don't go and turn it tragic because you feel that will make it more deep or meaningful or whatever. If you wanted depth and sorrow, have it throughout, don't squeeze it in at the end.

That's just my own personal view. I like to choose what to see depending on how I feel and what I want. Every viewer does so. So, if I choose Die Hard, I don't expect much depth. Just ass kicking.
And with romance, tragic romantic and happy romantic are worlds apart. If I choose a happy romantic series cause I feel my soul is lighter by watching it, I expect and demand what it lured me with.

Promise of a happy, fluffy they-lived-happily-ever-after-cause-that's-what-happens-in-these-types-of-series ending. And no. I don't consider the title "melodrama" enough of an excuse for it.

arakira · Post by **arakira** » Jan 8th, '11, 11:04

Hmm, Ori I get what you say, this drama was very happy and light for most parts and I understand you want a happy end cause you see it as a fluff drama...but the thing is, we saw the hints about some tragedy from the beginning, didn't we? Like the magic, the strange character chart etc etc. Actually I like this about the drama, that so close to the end I'm still not sure what to expect...

For me as I said, I'll be happy with a fluff ending IF it's well done and believable and not like aily said, first they can't be together but after a time leap or some other sudden change, they'll end up living happily ever after. I hate such turns in the last eps...

Maybe it's the same about fairy tales, whether you like the disney version or the original... Especially since this mentioned the little mermaid all the time...and my voice clearly goes to Hans Christian Andersen's conclusion

Edit: about Bad Guy, I expected an ending like this...but not in the way they carried it out...that drama had so much potential and used so little IMO...

Issy · Post by **Issy** » Jan 8th, '11, 11:19

Totally backing up every word Ori-chan wrote. I think exactly the same way about the ending. I don't think I can put in words better than this

I guess liking KDW is synchronising our thoughts

Orion1986 · Post by **Orion1986** » Jan 8th, '11, 11:24

I don't see magic as only evil and I think what the series shows to the viewers over the course of it should be more representative of it than a character chart or "hints".
Not all viewers obsess over the charts and look a series up. Some rely on the actual work to understand what it will be giving them. I just personally like to know. ^^

As for Bad Guy, I expected a hugely tragic ending myself. Although I haven't seen it. Cause the series starts serious and continues that way. At least what I saw did.
The very story of the show is about a mysterious malevolent looking guy who wants to have revenge. That has "deaths, tragedy and general misery' written all over it.
Like I said, the whole style/tone of it points to a possibly bad ending. Some small "maybe" hints can't outweigh hours and hours of funny and light romantic comedy.

P.S: Issy-kins, we're in love and our fluff-ridden hearts are in sync. The bad boy made us all warm, sensitive and cuddly. That adorkable bastard...

Tamaki · Post by **Tamaki** » Jan 8th, '11, 12:15

I don't mind if it is a sad ending to an extent. I usually go into shows sorta prepared for it. Regardless the flow of this whole show has been nice and enjoyable, not gut wrenching. The lead couple of course has their hard times, and of course one character is always working harder to make sure they have a good ending. So I expect some sadness. However a really sad traumatic ending would be pushing it over the top. It will leave a lot of fans feeling ... remorse, and mislead.

That's just my thoughts though. Regardless I love this show, and even if I don't like the ending I will still watch it over and over... just not the ending. =D

Ethlenn · Post by **Ethlenn** » Jan 8th, '11, 12:39

Well, Bad Guy started as a heavy drama, was really great in the middle (btw, who was in the cast apart from the leading man, can't remember keke), but they messed up the ending. It was all SBS' fault. They could start filming this damned drama three months earlier, but due to some issues (I guess no one is interested here), they postponed it few months. And then we got army draft. Gunwuk was supposed to die in Ep 17, but drama was scheduled to 20 eps. I can't see through their thinking while they made that decision. It was the worst move of the last year in dramaland. I couldn't even hate SBS more for hat. This is why we got such f*cked up ending, and ruining one of the best premises of the last year.

Secret Garden, on the other hand, is not a fluff, but it's not Bad Guy caliber either. I guess few of us were repeating as mantra that this drama is not fluff. Romantic moments - eggs, funny moments - butter, but cake is not a cake without flour. In this case, we don't have pure white and fluffy flour, but a wholegrain one. Dark.
This makes drama bad? Do we always want to watch happily-ever-after? I don't. I prefer tragic ending than cheesy, far-fetched happy one. Because I never seen SG as a total rom-com.
Like Ara said, there were hints of something ominous awaiting over the corner.

On the happy note, netizens "discovered" what Gil Ra Im's name means: "thinking about stripping". No joking

In SG, yes, I want a happy ending. I didn't mind the ending in "Magic" because I felt the characters all deserved what they got and the entire series was not exactly happy.
So no, I don't mind a bad ending that much, if it's realistic or deserved. But when I feel happy with a romance and laugh with the series, I do want a good ending. Definitely.
I prefer a non-perfect cheesy ending to a sad one, if the series has made me love the characters and want their happiness. It's not my fault they lead me to that, so pay up.

If the ending is bad for this, I'll lose it. I don't want to even consider it. Writer said it would be happy. Otherwise, I'll follow the Savage path. "I reject your reality and substitute my own".

About the episode

Orion1986 wrote:IEven if she did disown him, is that the end of the world? The man can work!

That might be difficult unless he moves to the countryside or move out of the country. He also has to change his lifestyle an live as a pauper or leave the country. No big company will hire him because of his background. If it's a big corporation, they would snub him for being too big. It's like, your family is rich and powerful. We aren't qualified to hire you. Or else if it's field related, they don't want to make enemies with his family by hiring him. Only way he could get a job is if someone doesn't know him which is few.

Orion1986 · Post by **Orion1986** » Jan 8th, '11, 19:11

True, but still. It's hard to believe he can't find good work anywhere. His mom is just a housewife with a temper. No real power. Plus, is she God? His grandfather owns everything before her.
And also, the man has studied abroad and is generally well-educated. He could just move to the U.S. No one there would say "We won't hire you cause your mom is a rich b*tch in Korea".

They over dramatized it. They always do. Sure, he won't be able to live in the biggest of luxury for some time, but it's not like he'll end up begging for a quarter in some alley in the slums.
And I don't think a 34-year-old man hasn't made any real money of his own all this time. There are things she simply can't cut off or take away from him. But it's still too dramatic imho.
Even if she did take away all his fortune, the man should have a choice. If he wants to give it up and is happier being with Ra Im and having to work for a living, isn't it his right to do so?

Myxale · Post by **Myxale** » Jan 8th, '11, 19:28

I will wait till I see the actual ending before I rant and rave!

From now, spoilers are a big No-no!

Oh, by the way, I watched 'The Man from Nowhere' yester-night and I saw Secretary Kim in it.
He played some really disturbing Character.

It was freaky to watch such a familiar and, in my memory funny face, in such a dark setting.

I don't know ... Korean speakers should jump in an share with us their opinion on the softsubs ... I've used their version for episode 16 and it seemed good to me.

Myxale · Post by **Myxale** » Jan 9th, '11, 10:39

The subs seem solid enough. Keep in mind the speed in which they were completed.
Having watched lots of K-Drama (like everyone here) one gets a feel for bad subs; and or noticing autosubs.
But I got the feeling that in some places the subs were overly crowded in places. Instead of conveying the meaning only.All in all Not bad IMO!

And the episode was really strong. Despite feeling quite packed and rushed.

Quite predictable IMO, but thats what one gets for holding off the best and most dramatic bits for the last episodes...

I just watched 17th episode with those subs, and subs aren't bad, I may not know korean well but, since I've seen a few dramas, I feel if it's right or totally wrong.

I didn't think it would turn out like this.

And that's what I call acting, even I got a little bit wet eye.

But you know - the car accident... The only thing that could possibly happen in reality - hit the door window with her head, nothing more. And you need to be very unlucky to get in coma from that.

Yeah, that about Ra-Im's. But I guess the Script had a saying in it ;)

Just to add that darksmurf subs are nothing less of viki ones and even better. I know about his/her subs since Dong Yi times. Not to mention keep reading very positive replys from people who used it. I had problem log in. Another good thing, they are the fastest subs to come out after each ep.
I still need to watch ep17 with subs but not long till ep18 starts and I got hooked on watching it live now. Hope the streaming won't be as frustrating as yesterday.

He probably has a salary. But look at the way he spends his money too. He spends it like water. If you are used to spending millions of dollars, can you live on $10,000? It's probably pocket change for him. It's easy going from being poor to being rich. But much harder if you've never been poor and you suddenly find you have no money. It's a big social change. No more nice cars, you take the bus. No more expensive restaurants, high class bars, big house, and theatres or booking whole restaurants to yourself. You end up eating fast food (intestines) and sleep in cold cheap rooms where there might not be any hot water at times. Even if he does live comfortably with his own money, it wouldn't last long with the way he's used to spending it.

As for moving overseas. The girl would have to agree with it too. I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem.

Issy · Post by **Issy** » Jan 9th, '11, 13:47

bearing in mind this the drama we are talking about and NOT real life (and even though dramas more or less are based on real life) but sometime they tend to write events that does not happen in real life and viewers happily watch it and pretend it's reality to feel better if they have any hardship in their lives or just have some hopes. and I don't see anything wrong with it.
SG is one drama that hardly happens in reality anyway, so we don't have to compare everything happens to its character with its actual possibility of happening or not.
plus, the possibility of people like JW being able to live in people like RI's world is very very small. YES, but not impossible. so if the story is heading that way (which honestly i don't see it) I can pretend that he is one of those one in a million man that was able to change his life for the sake of person he loves. i know am very romantic person but definitely not a delusional one that can't differentiate between reality and fiction. so i don't mind watching dramas that makes no sense in real life. i see it a way to recharge my batteries.

ep18 so far, kind of bored. so far they used two old cliche

Coma and Amnesia. coma was dealt with in good way and did not took too long and i can buy it easily. as for amnesia (in JW's case), let's just wait and see

Thanks for the information! I've seen the 4 minutes part of episode 18. Not knowing Korean I still understood what they've meant to express to the public:

I'm waiting for the HANrel version to be released ... around 2 more hours

@all that expressed their opinion on the softsub from darksmurfsub: They seem good for me ... and they're done by the community from there (collective work).

The softsubs done by darksmurf himself are very good ... my point of view ... but those require around 2 days each.

These ones are from the CTS Project => members of the community who know and want to contribute. The CTS Project is in BETA phase, so mistakes might happen. You can think at this way to translate as that found on viki, but more people can contribute simultaneously ... and there is a person/more who do the QC.

Take care!

Later Edit:

Just finished fast browsing episode 18 ... AMAZING. Human memory is something, exceptional ...

@all those who said: cliché, then I need to remind you this: There is Nothing New under the SUN! ... We do not invent something, we only re(discover) it.

Orion1986 · Post by **Orion1986** » Jan 9th, '11, 19:57

Nothing new under the sun and also, the person has a previous medical condition regarding that thing.
It didn't just come out of the blue and might I remind you we DO have supernatural happenings as well.

It's a whole other ballgame here. This usually happens in series because it offers a clean slate and because the writer can't think of what to do.
Just because it's a cliche as it is done in most series, does not mean that's all it can be. If well-written and with good reason, it can be fresh too.

More comments on both episodes later on. Also,

I'm curious about the dialogue between Ra Im and JW after he wakes up ... but has amnesia, or he fakes it ... although he fakes it too good => deceiving the public also, not only the other characters from the drama.

Myxale · Post by **Myxale** » Jan 10th, '11, 10:16

Well, epi 18 really threw me off the loop.
It felt totally out of sync, with the previous one.

It was such a poor episode compared to 17.

Where 17 had lots of tears and momentum, 18 was, for the lack of better words lacking.

Was random, erratic and lots of other things. The Amnesia was kinda too much, but it led to some really nice scenes-

But then again, some nice scenes don't make a good episode...

The subs were ok, but compared to the ones d-smurf released for 17, rather lacking.

Orion1986 · Post by **Orion1986** » Jan 10th, '11, 10:30

Lacking in good translation or just not perfectly synced and with grammatical errors and such? Cause as long as the translation is good, it's ok if they don't look pretty.

The only thing about 18 that kinda bugged me a bit were some reactions.

Myxale · Post by **Myxale** » Jan 10th, '11, 11:53

Ah, sorry, my first part of the post has nothing to do with the subs.
Should have been clearer on what i mean. I was being lazy...

The pacing and plot changes threw me off.

I mean, in 17 all emotions and the whole situation was coiled to the point chocking. Ending with what to seemed like an epic escape to me.
- Speeding down an seemingly endless road into a troubled, murky future. After all those goodbyes Joo Won did...

And of course we expected it to continue in a similar epic manner, but instead we go some lame situations, and amnesia-... And same old...and frustration...

As for the subs themselves...they were good, considering how fast they were done, but not as tight as the subs for 17.

about ep18, when i was watching it live, i was kind of bored with the whole ep and i did not find it as good as ep17. but last night on second watch with subs, it was much better. it's true that is not a very strong ep as previous ones but it has its nice moments.

specially the whole :

.

can i be mean and horrible in wishing something really awful should happen to JW mama? apart from her horrendous wardrobe which definitely does not represent her age or her status and that her hair style, she is not improving or redeeming herself at all. unlike Seul who i really like now she keeps on being evil and i thought knowing whose daughter RI is, will make some difference.

and i was wondering about her strange reaction when she saw JW (with RI inside) is hugging the director. i can think of two reasons (1. she thinks JW starting to like men

and 2. she does actually know him from before). but both two does not give me enough answers on why such a strange reaction.

it has been a while since a drama made me cry.

I powered through to episode 7 so far and while I found this series enjoyable, I wouldn't call it amazing. Does it get any better going forward?

I don't have much spare relaxation/leisure time and am wondering if I should use it for other things at this point.

ep18...

I still don't have a single reasonable reason for loving this drama, I just want its magic to end asap!

the 21 year old K.J.W. is just as cute as the 34 year old one. having him go back to his twenties, it'll show that no matter how old he is, he still loves G.R.I.

Have to say I looooooove this drama. I think the leads have great chemistry...

That being said.. on ep 17 and 18:

Actually, I do have so many "reasonable" reasons to love this drama
A story very well written.
Chatacters very well portrayed by the actors/actresses.
A new and fresh way of telling a simple love story.
Consistently engaginging one ep after another.
I can go on and on but SG is the only drama I am watching while in totally " out of love" for drama mood that I am having right now.
I love its magic and even though I don't want to end ASAP, but just so eager to know how it ends.

How can you not love Kim Gab Soo?

Today is Kim Sarang Birthday, so Happy Birthday (I'm redundant, I know) to our evil lady!

And news on Hyun Bin: he enlisted to Marines, and the results of his tests will be ready in February. Good boy, Marines can get 18 months long service, hehe^^

Is he SG fan too? Seems that Secret Garden has done some memorable scenes that will be remembered after years.

Issy, I totally agree to what you said dear

I usually tend to NOT acknowledge such perfect dramas, because they simply damage/occupy my mind!! For example, OST Part.5 is on repeat all day long & I don't know WHY!

some one help me to change it!!!!!

& now it's INFINITE’s WooHyun turn

I had to refrain myself from reading all the comments and spoilers posted here before i finished watching Episode 17 and 18. Boy was it a roller coaster ride especially 17.

I cried when JW went to the hospital and his face was completely like dead. I cried with JW when he found the note that RI left him on the little mermaid. I cried with JW when he cried writing the letter to RI. I cried when JW was speaking to RI in the car and confessing his love to her. I also cried with Oska realised what JW planned to do

So basically you only cried when JW cried.

I found myself on the other side. I cried whenever RI did. her tears were more emotional for me and heart felt even though i felt it was a tiny little bit over the top. but she sure did make me sympathise with her whenever she cried.

Ara: this as a video will be in today's episode of Kim Gab Su drama^^ It was actually in the yesterday's preview.

And:Hyun Bin was mentioned in MBC News Desk 2011-01-12 and day after YTN reported the same, adding also the reactions of fans, who praise Hyun for such decision.
All because of the army, of kors. The article basically says that two news programs reported his enlistment to Marines. The criteria are: educational backgrouns, physical condition etc. The results will be on January 20. The ratio is 4:1 (means 4 candidates for 1 place in Marines).

What vid? I'd love to see...so I have to go download which drama now?

Well good for Hyun Bin if he gets into the marines...shorter term of service and another image boost. That guy seems to be doing everything right atm...

and btw will he do another movie before leaving for his service?

Drama "All My Love" with Kim Gab Soo, I was referring to his sit-ups on those pics I posted link to.

Yes, Hyun Bin will have another movie before he goes to the army called Love Or Not

MisS Lonliah · Post by **MisS Lonliah** » Jan 13th, '11, 23:14

Late Autumn and Love Or Not both are looking at February releases! Great timings indeed, & lucky producers!

I mean, seriously, you gotta love 'Assistant Kim' Kim Seong-oh. This man has great sense of humor and distance to himself.
In the last episode of Evening TV, he was asked about his look-alikes. And his answer was: salamander.

article on Nate

I will upload this episode soon^^

The right kind of sparkle:

BTW. You heard the news about the ending of SG??

Sham26 · Post by **Sham26** » Jan 14th, '11, 12:13
