I agree with Hannah -- the flowers were a continual peace offering and the weirdly beautiful blurriness was Young's pov. And birds sit brooding in the snow. Really, there are other ways to say you miss someone. It was also hard to express it as clearly and well-argued as you have done here. Sigh! and yeah. Ill miss it so much :D. I wanted to clear some things up for you, because I also had my doubts about whether Soo died or not at first. Many viewers will say that a happy ending does not excuse a drama from obvious plot holes, but I'll give TWTWB a pass. 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. Hed told Wang not to tell Young. I'll bet Young cut the short way across her arm too, rather than the long way, which would again be what you would do if you actually wanted to die. I was also unhappy that Soo didn't take the money, making his con a moot point but whatever. But in the end, it became just another k-melo that lost its footing, yet garnered tons of attention anyway. 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. That was what it felt like to me, just so we could have the reunion scene in the very end and tie a neat bow). (Just enough to pay Soos debt.) But since it didn't really do anything anyway I just push it from my mind and enjoy what's left. It was only in the last episode where the drama hinted at how he likes to cook. And yeah, if you compare the movie ending, there were no people around. Young wakes up to find Soo asleep at her bedside, and as she brushes her fingers across his face she remembers his desperate plea for her to watch his video. The flowers were present at the cafe table where Young was seated too. Hee-sun cries at the sight of Moo-chuls body in the morgue, while Jin-sung stays to comfort her. Is this another instance of Drama Syndrome, where characters would rather undergo pain and irreparable harm than do something logical? Make Kim think Oh Soo, died like Moo Chul had everyone thinking he was threatening Soo instead of just warning him? The graphic novel was written around the height of the Cold War. Did the CCTV goons end up getting him because his promise, in a sense, broke (to let Soo & Jin Sung go unscathed)? It looks like the writer got tired after a few episodes and, especially in the end, realized there were things to be told, so they had to be smashed to fit into the general picture. Thank you, Heads, for pointing out all the illogical additions and omissions that left me feeling confused and nonplussed during the last three or more episodes. It may have lost itself in its own mesmerizing cinematography at times, but I thoroughly enjoyed the visual experience. In fact, it's degenerative. 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. Like you say, she made Young blind! (maybe the real one, since they were going in the same direction?). How can such a fine man do so many bad boy roles and be believable in them? What would be the point of having that conversation of how Soo told Wang to not tell Young about his whereabouts until she was done chemo? It was a pleasure reading them. Do-Hoon ( Kam Woo-Sung) and Soo-Jin ( Kim Ha-Neul) are a married couple. Eventually they did and she gave up and died. Later that night, Soo affixes the bell string to her wrist again. My biggest gripe is the directing of this show. Home; Service. That Winter The Wind Blows Ending Explained - Connie Chambers Obituary News, Death - Cause Of Death - . However, when she speaks to one of the kids next to her she reaches out to hold his hand and seems to look him in the face when she speaks. I think the whole flower thing is to amend for stabbing Oh Soo. I do agree with you that how we got to that light at the end of the tunnel was more important than the light itself. (For the other reasons you said as well.). The only thing I was actually left wondering was what happened to President Kim? WHY WOULD YOU KILL HIM!? No thanks.). I like that about this director/writer pair.

His stern expression did make me think he matured a bit. JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Wind Blows merupakan drama Korea garapan sutradara Jung Jung Hwa yang dirilis pada 2019 lalu. I think if they showed the process of Jin Sung contemplating whether to stab Oh Soo or not, then we wouldn't get that element of surprise. But I can't deny how much I enjoyed looking at these ridiculously good-looking couple. They didn't treat it as a "melodrama disease" with over exaggerated helplessness or what have you. I am not sure I can bothered to understand anything from the last episode. I will join you guys in saying that I am also quite impressed with Heads' writing and her sense of humor. I agree with you all the way! Confusion with ending of the "That Winter The Wind Blows". Really, why?

I mean, if you want to commit suicide, don't you really slit your wrists (BOTH of them) and get in the water for maximum bleeding? The art part is just an excuse for porn.

Thanks for your input on what was said by the actors about the finale coz I was confused and I wanna be happy.Yep,if she was in heaven her vision would be 100%!! that would be too much. Soo drags his feet, futilely trying to make it to the hospital as blood streams from his wound and tears stream from his face. All suicide attempts are a cry for attention? 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. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { endings were perfectly done. That Winter The End Blows. i'm a great fan of head's writing superpowers. No, she responds, and we see through Youngs eyes first its a blur of color, then light.

Instead of looking so desolate, its now been painted with blooming flowers on the branches. 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 :).

Honestly, after having long hair for so long and not being able to see it, probably one of the first things I would do is buy a wigif only just to see how I looked all that time. The kissing under the cherry tree was really true not a dream nor an imagination (if it was an imagination, how cruel the mind of Oh youn was, it doesn't make sense). I don't know. Summary. Shes had it rough, but so did Soo. Seriously, I can't wait for his next drama! I salute the writer as well as Ju in sung and Oh young very well-acted characters.

Perhaps like the movie, viewers are left to decide for themselves how to interpret the ending. Soo lies(?) Well, he already knew he wanted her to stay with him (forever), so why not have her answer then and there? Lee Myung Ho [Young's fiance] Support Role.

And the "softy" villain wasn't so much a softy as an audience fave. Just read and look where Song was interviewed, she also concluded TWTWB was a happy ending story. (Seriously! Though I did see the charm the actor brought to the role that was a little too fan-servicey for me. 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. As for the actual epilogue to all this coordinated madness, I found the actual stabbing inconsequential and the final scenes bizarre. Granted, some things started to not make sense towards the end, but NOTHING about this show makes me think the director or writer became lazy and gave up along the way. It's even weirder cuz 2 eps ago lawyer ahjussi was angrily throwing her out asking her if she's human and all and then hey! Same here. I know what youre saying: Heads, thats crazy talk!

I'll add, I also agree that this wasn't the writer pulling out a happy ending to please fans or because she couldn't think of anything else. It's a happy ending! js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; She's in her version of the LOST holding pattern universe and she had to find her way to Soo, thus the center scene surrounded by people that she loves and makes her happy. Soo keeps an eye on his watch, knowing time is of the essence. I see. Even for wearing that maroon suit and pants at ep16! "If that had been me, Id have taken the knife and gone after Kim.". Did the show sacrifice its potential just for fan service? 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. NHK stay true to the japanese drama, so the stabbing scene is actually in the jdrma version too, so I don't think they just copied nice guy, maybe it's the other way around. There are a bit of similarities between both shows which leads me to wonder what is it with the all the melodrama cliches? So any drama that shows someone trying to kill someone will probably involve a knife. Really? I'm in dramaland and i want the happy ending of course. :(, HAHAHAHAHAH!

I think Jo In Sung really out did himself here and would watch it again.

Secretary Wang wants to know why, considering how she made Young, you know, blind. Why wouldnt I want to love her when I started out that way?) "I must not be crazy, it is not all in my head" I thought. That problem didnt exist as much with Soo, though these past few episodes didnt do him a ton of favors. Soo. His parents died when he was young, and his first love also died, leaving him a cold-hearted man who turns to a life of high-stakes gambling and womanizing to get the things he wants in life. If you get it, please explain it to me You know, I don't know if I can do a good job explaining it. Any Way the Wind Blows is a thick book in comparison to its middle predecessor, Wayward Son, and that's for good reason. This final episode left me confused and with a sense of "this was it?" But I thought her extreme trust issues were well shown so I bought her character as a whole. And the good times keep going as Soo helps Jin-sung and his family pack for their move to the countryside.

Tu-who, a merry note, While greasy Joan doth keel the pot. Energy from moving air. ), We did have two con-men though, that's true.

How guilty you felt while you loved me. c. winds blowing through a city. What the heck is his problem? I can't get over, how everyone just overlooked the fact that the secretary caused her to go BLIND!!! Sad. Her secretly hoping that Oh Soo would burst in and save her makes sense (the only thing that made sense in this episode). The male protagonist is a con-man in some sorts. I was hoping for a more straight-forward ending, but I'll take this too. The flowers of MS and JS was at the table. She lost her mom, brother and though secretary wang is there, she is controlling OY. my two cents anyway. (And not a moment too soon!). If not, its a bad thing.
