(and really, if it's a happy ending, is it so hard to just give us a straight forward ending but why also a stabby scene? Over all, I do think rather than a "happy ending" it was more like a "believe what you want" ending. We really don't know what happened when Oh soo was stubbed by Jin Sung. She discovers a male employee who has committed suicide by hanging himself in one of the rooms. I didn't understand why JS didn't react right away and tried to save him. Ah, so maybe shes making plans for the future since she wants to have a future now. He offers to make her the same potato soup he did on their trip, but adds, I want to stay with you.

At the cafe, Young is served tea by a waiter wearing Soos bell bracelet. "NHK lost her soul to the devil". It was a pretty ride that just got weird and choppy and bumpy the last four episodes.

The scene then segues into a montage of past life images which interrupt themselves long enough to reveal Pollack being attacked and presumably killed by a trio of spectral creatures. One can argue it was a reference of Young's brother but I feel it was a reference they are bringing lamb's ears for both Soo and Young as she most likely died the same day as Soo in surgery and the flowers would be a way to remember them both Soo is alive. Could you please make sense? He lived like a dog, and died like a dog, she laments, though shes not willing to let Soo comfort her as she tells him that he wont be needed at Moo-chuls cremation. | But it doesn't make sense. A good cast that acted well above this movie. 3/10 for a good cast trying to save this movie. I love you, very much. Soo pulls her into an embrace even as he cant help but crying, and he repeats over and over again, I love you. Zombie Young says okay, and he carries her three steps to the kitchen. And as was mentioned, there is no way Hee-Sun and Jin-Sung could be happy is Soo were really dead. Young not only forgives her, but understands that Wang loved her all this time and just couldnt express it properly. And when he turns around he gets stabbed.

My first reaction to the ending was Soo is dead and all is in Young's head (because I'm a sucker for apparently, the traditional melodrama ending - I've been so out of it, I didn't know open ending or happy ending is an option!). The flowers of MS and JS was at the table. So the truck didn't run over everyone? The temperature is climbing despite it being February, its raining and more than one of the people in his crew is acting strange. At first, I thought it might be too boring (it's the opposite of TWTWB in terms of its lack of slickness and heightened intensity), and frankly, I couldn't imagine myself getting terribly invested in most of the characters. After waking up from what seems to have been a nightmare, composed of the whole duration of the film, she looks for others. He struggles to his knees as we pan to the shoes of the man who stabbed him, the trembling man holding the knife, and up. By Shane O'Neill / April 9, 2021 8:39 am EST. Beside all the beautiful faces and cinematography, noise marketing, media play, exaggerated praise help the popularity of this drama also. "I felt that we were just coasting, or worse, slipping and sliding, as the show labored its way into the finale, and there wasnt even a good save in the closing moments.". I don't blame people for being suspicious though. Joel and Sarah get separated from Tommy shortly after they recover. They are most probably dead and in heaven somewhere. The vaunted cinematography of this drama may appear genuinely impressive at first, but it dawns upon you sooner or later that, however it wants to emulate it, this is not a Merchant-Ivory film. At one point or the other, I kept viewing as some kind of Stockholm Syndrome on Young's end, the way she just also seemed to care for Wang even though what she did was horrible. If Soo survived the knifing old baddie would had everyone killed. Oh well, the drama is over. User Ratings Just like the one guy says, "Soo was willing to forget pride". I enjoyed this drama and was mesmerized by it, but at the end of the day, it won't go on my masterpiece or rewatch list. The plot holes - oy! I agree with you Canxi. Third, I agree with Ashely above in that Sung's relationship had soured (three suiters?) HeadsNo2, I wish I could meet you in person during the Dramabeans Meetup and personally say how you're one heck of a great writer and thinker but I'll have to be content with this. Is he dead, for real this time? This is going to be in my all time fav list. But it didn't happen the finale is a mix of all those ideas mentioned, unsure if the thrown in CGI Animal-Ghosts are just products of imagination or natures wrath or whatever. Then again, that just adds to the brokenness of Young's character- having to depend on the person whho crippled you and over time accepting that person's love? I will join you guys in saying that I am also quite impressed with Heads' writing and her sense of humor. I wonder what it will be? Or maybe Soo went into hiding until gangster Kim was arrested? ), We did have two con-men though, that's true. Note: This clip is from a version of the film dubbed in French. To be honest, I felt Nice Guy/Innocent Man was more engaging than That Winter, the Wind Blows. Same here. This movie prompted me to write my first review. And the "softy" villain wasn't so much a softy as an audience fave. Blurry. Fessendens sound techniques in this final scene of the movie, from the empty hospital, to the desolate outdoors, make this final scene more powerful. }); var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; I think then it could be a lot better than with the directors imagination leading nowhere.

Hoffman had refused to sign off on permission for heavy equipment to be brought in to help move drilling equipment due to potential damage to the tundra earlier in the film; Pollack and his boss, Foster, arrange for Hoffman to be replaced as a result. This vagued up messy ending was the compromise. One thing I'm going to disagree with you on Heads is the sentiment of Young's suicide attempt being "merely" a cry for attention, because that's what all suicide attempts are. He acted well but he still not converting me as one of his fans. I thought I had missed a gem. They're both crazy beautiful, I want to cry!! Yeah, my first but not fake. Such is the basis for Last Winter. Throughout the game, our perception of Ellie shifts somewhat as we begin to empathize more with Abby. We've all seen Jin Sung take a beating and give one and I have no doubt he would have caused some serious damage. I beg to differ . But seriously, despite its at times heavy flaws- I still love the show. This happy ending is what sealed this drama into my heart. By the end, I was amazed at how, for virtually every character, NHK had managed to show the good, the bad, the ugly and the more beautiful than a flower. Your email address will not be published.

I think soo is alive:) eith regards to yhe "blurred" background.. i noticed that too yet i understand it this way :) young can't see clearly.. shes not totally blind, the background is actually her vision (that's my take) the first time she saw soo after a year when he was on his bike i noticed it's blurred so i thought maybe it was young's vision and i confirmed it when young visited yhe restaurant she cant see him that clear but she can see him :). if so what are you doing? A remote drilling station with company employees waiting things out. They could be referring to the REAL Oh Soo.

It's the memory of those far superior movies that make this one watchable at first. Sad how it happens to many of the dramas I follow. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Instead we only saw the aftermath in order to preserve the cheap surprise of finding out that Jin-sungs hand was the one holding the knife, but was anyone truly surprised? Nice Guy and TWTWB, both the male protagonists were stabbed, but they survived, right? Youngs eyes begin to fill with tears as Soo pours his heart out in the video, saying how much he wanted to tell her when he first fell in love with her and how beautiful she was, and how much her real brother loved her.

I sometimes miss some of those, and I appreciate when those are pointed out to me. I decided not to count Youngs full head of hair as part of the equation since I considered it a vanity issue, despite the fact that brain surgery and long-term chemotherapy should produce some visible, physical effects. "If that had been me, Id have taken the knife and gone after Kim.". Soo nearly drops in relief when he finds Young, even as she emotionlessly tells him shes hungry. And HeadsNo2, thank you, once again, for not squandering your gift and for so generously sharing it with us. Really, there are other ways to say you miss someone. Whether you really loved me. From what I understand, a feeble attempt at killing yourself like Young did is not a suicide attempt, but a cry for help/attention. Then, in the final seconds, the camera places Abby within her surroundings. Gangster Wannabe goes scurrying off with his tail between his legs just as Moo-chul collapses, spitting up blood from his stomach cancer. But then she adds that if she lives through her surgery, theyll meet again, and finally talk out their issues.

The writer likely originally wrote a typical melo ending. Even then it wouldnt matter, since Boss Man wanted him dead, but why? Or they could be alive and the memorial was for brother Soo. That's the best way to describe it honestly. Soo does all the talking during dinner and even after, until Young cuts him off by telling him to leave once Lawyer Jang comes back. I did share and understood your (and others') frustrations of the characters. Soo is on a timeline to make it back to the hospital, and he cant help but think of Youngs promise of all the things she plans to tell him in the future. I know, hard to believe. But, to be perfectly honest, I wasn't thinking about her hair at all this episode, haha. As folks already pointed out, I just don't get why Sec.

And is of a piece with the whole, what about Boss Kim? I do agree that Last Winter was somewhat flawed here and there but overall I was blown away.
