Through this drama my love for SHK is firm now and not much to JIS. Why is everything so blurry? I think she is still smart, just that depression--or drama depression, even--doesn't care about smartness. 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. So my expectation was that in TWTWB, we would end up at least being able to understand all of the main characters. Many viewers will say that a happy ending does not excuse a drama from obvious plot holes, but I'll give TWTWB a pass. And with that, all the players get gambling, while Young spends a restless night at the hospital window with the winter wind blowing. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { Am I suppose to just forget all that? Young's hair, everyone's fantastic health etc. Not Soo asks her if she cant see, and she responds by asking if hes ever met a blind person. It's what sets this drama apart from the movie version which was a neat package in itself but i felt the drama extended and explored and fleshed out the characters on a deeper level that made me - with the exception of Sec Wang (whatthehell show- she made her blind, i don't care how well she can cook)- connect with the narration as a whole.

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?

Wang stands out for me because Bae Jong Ok was in a bunch of other NHK dramas, always as a fleshed-out character you could empathize with-- but in TWTWB, she was a complex character who did something heinous which she was basically let off the hook for, yet the "why" of it all was never adequately explained to us.

I really wanted to completely love this show and I did especially the the first third of the drama but the show just started going downhill for me in the last three episodes. Same here. It is only 16 episodes. I agree with you on the ending.The blurriness of the scene was to depict Young's perspective.After surgery her vision is most likely not going to be perfect thus there is a blurriness in her vision.Furthermore, Song Hye Kyo and Jo In Sung stated in their interviews that it was indeed a happy ending.They actually knew from the start that it would be happy ending since Writer Noh that it would be one.So hopefully everyone is no longer confused about the ending being sad or an open one.
