That said I think it lost me in episode 12 or 13 with Young's funky character development and the insane troll logic medical stuff. If Soo survived the knifing old baddie would had everyone killed. We have to understand where a character is coming from and why on a basic human level, regardless of circumstance. argh~). Said piece of literature centers on an elderly couple living in England at a time when nuclear hostilities are at their peak. This final episode left me confused and with a sense of "this was it?"

I guess I cant begrudge a character for not being selfless, so Ill boil it down simply: No matter her deep-seated issues, Young didnt make for an enjoyable heroine. If it was Young's imagination, why did she have to make it so that Soo only shows himself to her after a year? This is not the case with That Winter, the Wind Blows. Not all chemo causes you to loose your hair - my dad takes oral chemo and doesn't loose his. That Winter the Wind Blows. I didn't understand the scene where JS knifed OS. Yep! The Wind by Robert Louis Stevenson - Poem Analysis Thank you all, and thank you HeadsNo2 for your recaps.

Things arent looking good for Soo in the game, as Boss Man starts laughing as he turns over his cards. So I read Heads' recap and some of the responses to see if I could understand a few more things before I started writing. They eventually decide on lambs ear, because that was the plant special to him and Young. Young made it thru surgery. Then, again I don't believe Young would make up such an elaborate story for herself (even in a dream) to "blind" herself from his death. So is she over the suicide thing? fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); I still don't get this drama.

Everything was so carefully built to that ending (except for the stabbing scene) that it felt planned to me. appId : '127538621120543', Same here. I agree with Hannah -- the flowers were a continual peace offering and the weirdly beautiful blurriness was Young's pov. I didn't understand why JS didn't react right away and tried to save him. Apparently shes been a regular at his restaurant and picked up on the sound of his bracelet, and though hed always bring her tea he never showed his face to her. He would have lived with it and never told hee Sun. There are many such winds around the world, some of them cold, some warm, some wet, some dry. And when Soo pulls back, they both look into each others eyes, smiling. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); I didn't think there were many loose ends or plot holes, but the last episode sure makes it seem like there was just because it was like fitting a bunch of things haphazardly in a suitcase in way. And not just one or two per drama, but a whole cast full of them. Wind is a major factor in determining weather and climate. hahaha, priceless. But I definitely agree that first, Young is alive. It made me wonder if because this was a melodrama, the writer had the characters inflict (more) pain to each other for the sake of the nature of the drama fitting the bill (of a melodrama) till the end. Sad. Hes clearly reluctant to go, and holds onto Youngs hand for as long as he can. On a shallow note, I loved most of OS's wardrobe, especially the orange coat he wore at the beginning of this episode, it looked good on him.

And the "softy" villain wasn't so much a softy as an audience fave. cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access Her scene at the coffee shop was too prosaic. I totally agree with all your comments, except, I rather liked how they twisted the Jin Sung - Oh Soo loyalty in the end. I remember reading an interview with NHK from several years ago in which she said that her aim was to write characters whom viewers could understand (and empathize with). DUDE. I think the whole flower thing is to amend for stabbing Oh Soo. I wished they would have saved time there, and showed us what happened after OS was stabbed, instead of letting us speculate on what happened. Similarly, in Goodbye Solo, NHK gradually gets you into the head and the heart of each character-- you may not like some of the characters or their actions, but you'll understand where they're coming from. It's not an explanation for anything, but it's a thought. He kept his con going for a lot, lot longer. The promise of sizzle from early on in the show fizzled out too. But they crammed it into like a freaking two-minutes-reactionif that. In that case then, why stab him in the first place? 1:35:57.

I applaud his professionalism, knowing that this is his first time to have sex scenes. Why? They are most probably dead and in heaven somewhere.

That Winter The End Blows. It's a really nice juxtaposition, imo. But since it didn't really do anything anyway I just push it from my mind and enjoy what's left. - I really praised the writer for having this kind of story. Winter Birthday - Chapter 1 - 13thCat - Danny Phantom [Archive of Our Own] I am confused about a number of things in this episode (trust me on that one) and I am still writing (what looks like it will be my somewhat long) response. Young believes that the only option left for her at this point is to die, but as we've seen before she doesn't really want to (and a lot of people who attempt suicide don't) and is very scared of death. FB.init({ Wang walking back in so easily into OY's life. I've just finished watching That Winter, The Wind Blows and I thought that overall the series was great and well worth the watch. If either Jin Sung, Soo, or Young died, TWTWB would've just left a bitter taste in my mouth and a whole summer of heartache. Kiss symbolizes love and forgiveness. He has, because he loved a girl who was blind. 16 episodes. i don't think dreaming would be like that. So the truck didn't run over everyone? I haven't seen NHK's previous works, so thanks for sharing your insightful thoughts.

So, while the series as a whole left you lacking, you can watch each episode on its own and enjoy it. c. winds blowing through a city. D: I checked my brain at the door before watching this episode and was perfectly happy with the ending. But in the end, it became just another k-melo that lost its footing, yet garnered tons of attention anyway. He acted well but he still not converting me as one of his fans. But I'm leaning toward a happy-ever-after both are alive and living and loving ending, because hey, this is K-drama land, and if Young can survive a wrist-slitting, then Soo can survive a fatal knife woundtwice. But, bite the cat that corners you, don't run and bite your mouse friend D': Maybe, he pulled a Moo Chul and was helping him in a way? It is what it is. I'm probably more content with the ending than I should be but drama I love you so much <3 So I finally understand why Young committed suicide last episode, with faith that Soo would save her from death. I had watched NG but do not remember how the drama ended but I will remember every details about TWTWB. I love this show for all its prettiness and as much as I try to make myself truly love it, I can't help but leave feeling empty and cold towards the latter part of the show. It really did feel very Kdrama-like to separate the characters for the sake of separating them? Wow, now that "winter" has past, I can finally breathe. It was just obviously a British animated film based on a graphic novel by Raymond Briggs. Do you think it is good to see a blurry drama scenes only because the main character is blind?
