@kimchilee-848,
You r so rt that many KDs start w a Bang, drag in the middle, n end on a whimper! There r many reasons for that. Going into it will make a long post.
U ask for Recent KDs w satisfactory endings. For 2011 n 2012, In reverse chronological order, I think they r:
1. QIHM–they beat all odds to end up together.
2. Shut Up FBB–the whole script has good pace n sense.
3. Salaryman–super satisfactory n funny ending.
4. Greatest Love–Wow, lovely BB in his arms!
5. SeGa–3 cute boys! Hard to beat!
6. Fermentation Family–they found love for each other, n for the wider family of All for one, n one for All! A message that is good for us to hear/see.
7. New Tales of Gisaeng–it’d have been perfect if they ended it at 40 eps. Last 10 eps were unnecessary n strange. But at the v end, there IS a party for BB’s 1st BD. Love Fes for all!
K2HS would have been Super if Eun Shi Kyung didn’t die.
For Gaksital, I suspect Shin might not end well. I don’t mind sb dying in a KD, if it is real nece to the plot, or if they deserve it.
For AGD, I’d rather there be NOT 4 weddings at the end. It’d be too pact, too unreal.
Cheers.

@park-842, 847,
GY sure is a Cutie Pie here. I’m tickled pink just watching his expressions.
Micc said the same thing as you r finding in those blogs way back in #795, 822. I also tried to tell you the same thing in #825 (when I responded to your Qn #808). That is the process of figuring out what is happening on screen. Ppl agree here.
After that, each viewer has her reaction to how well what is happening in the ending scene follows fr what has happened before, how well it fits in w the scheme of things, n how satisfying it is as an ending. That’s where ppl differ. DB’s and her commentators’ reactions are the opposite of koala’s.
I see that you are super excited abt GY n this drama.

Finnaly!! for three times i watch the last episode and trying so hard to understand the Endings finally i got it. The man who’s shared the umbrella with DR is KKJ in his real body. Yup like what Ma Ri say in her email both of them back to their real body and lost their memory. Yesterday i’m so dissapointed but now i understand what the writen wanna share with the viewers. The writers is let us imaggine the endings bcoz not everyone want to see KKJ in his real body or instead.If you watching when KKJ meet DR in the Rain, ekspression of DR its not surprised or confuse. If he is KKJ in YJ body she wil ask “are you KKJ or YJ???”, but she said “KKJ”.And KKJ totally lost his memory bcoz the kids who lives in KKJ house said “The brother who come saying he have lived here alone”,whereas he live with DR.And the truth is KKJ fallinin love with DR when the first time they met, and even KKJ memories back before the accident he was fallinin love w/ DR. But the BIG question is what is the answer of YJ?? even the question it was not important for DR.

@KDaddict
hehe, okay, if people still dissapointed with the ending, never mind. but for me its recomended drama to watch in 2012 although the ending is not too satiesfied,,, ^^
maybe in the fiture i will wait the most popular and good rating drama to watch. first, i dontwant watch faith, cz im sooooo booored with medical. second to the beautiful you, although there is minho, but i have watch the taiwan hanakimi version, so have know the storyline….. not watch. i have plan to watch arang, but maybe i will wait until it aired 9-10 eps, see, is it most popular or not, see its good rating or not, and see, what the respon of viewer. and see what your prediction^^

@misscesc
but why the voice of a guy that called da ran is gong yoo voice???
July 28th, 2012 at 11:17 pm
Going to start watching this drama. Hope t’is is going to be a good drama~! I am expecting a very good and smooth plot from this production~.
July 29th, 2012 at 2:23 am
I think the soul swap should happen in ep15 with kkj’s memory remain intact. From there we can have a different direction of the drama. And probably more of SHin’s screen time!
July 29th, 2012 at 6:04 pm
i will never forget this drama now i understand everything =) LMJ fighting! LMJ your the only reason i watch this drama =)
July 29th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
I agree with @park. If mari didn’t lie, the person who meet Lee min jung in the last scene is kkj in gong yoo body (not shin won ho). Bcoz we’ve the voice is gong yoo voice. We all know that gong yoo masculine body physique. And the hand that hold lmj hand is also gong yoo hand bcoz of his ultimate long fingers. Now i’m a bit satisfied with the ending. But the writers are quite cruel upon yoon jae who really loves lmj and didn’t get a chance to tell her till the end. But I’m a big fan of big and i still love it. Gong yoo u are the best actor ever. I love all of ur styles, fashion and actings in this drama. Hope to see u soon in a movie or drama especially with yoon eun hye in coffee prince 2. Wishing all the best of u. love Gong yoo.

The ending was a bit disappointing, they should have stretched the conclusion instead of lingering on transient issues. The drama had huge potential from the get go, I just wished they could have pushed it to its full potential.
The fashion was fantastic though! Definitely eye candy all thoughout.

위대한 드라마 The Goddes “Lee Min Jung” – Beauty, Grace and Charm
This drama was worth watching just to see the Goddes show how talented she is. Thanks to the Hong Sisters in there effort to make this drama interesting. I got the endig and was satisfied that love did provale in the end. I would like to complement the wardrobe department in this drama in how they dressed the Goddes for the drama. She was able to keep her classey style. 감사 Lee C W

Im disappointed with the ending..what about yoo jae??what happen to him??what’s his answer when da ran ask,is he love her?we didn’t get it right?
This drama have a good beggining but then bored to the end..i prefer rooftop prince..this is (Big) just an ordinary drama..just it..sorry to say for the writers…i’m disappointed
August 1st, 2012 at 2:40 am
for me, this drama is ridiculous and booooring to the end..because of da ran and kkj so-called “pure love”, they being unfair to ma ri and yunjae..overall, i don’t like it at all..im sorry to say this but this is the truth..i hope u can make a better drama in the future..
August 1st, 2012 at 12:46 pm
I very like this kdrama (very awesome from start to finish). I am very satisfied with the ending too.
August 1st, 2012 at 4:22 pm
I don’t really understand the ending… could someone explain to me what happens? Thanks~

@Confuzzled
read my commentat #842 and #847
hope its help^^
August 1st, 2012 at 10:53 pm
upon reading those comments i was so excited if what would be the ending of the story “big” im also dissapointed not because of the story its because it has to end soon, GY is really a great actor he potrays his role very well wether its JK or KJJ as well as LMJ they have their chemistry and made the story so interesting, even though some koreans dont understand it,,, hahaha. i hope it could be air here in the philippines with tagalog version i love to watch it again and again.. so sweet! FIGTHING!
August 1st, 2012 at 11:40 pm
i havent finish watching BIG i dont want to be ahead eventhogh i had to watch it in kbs world during mon & tuesday as well as its rewind during sat still i have to wait. beacause i want to enjoy every scenes it aired, im still puzzled if how would the story end up for it have 16 episode. I really praised GY for his great performance for portraying 2 characters, i like it when he acts as a child his very cute as will as LMJ for being Innocent and naive teacher. she always crying because shes confused about her feelings towards KJJ, and KJJ was so slow to understand what GD feels. They were great being paired together. Hope to watch more drama and movies with them . If only i can communicate with the writer and ask for extension.
For the cast,crew,actors and actresses dont be disappointed about the ratings you did a very great job, its a very unique kind of drama where in many was asking if how would be the drama end up..many speculations, expectations,suggestions,comments! hahaha CONGRATS!

i have another theory to the ending, since both KKJ and SYJ are said to be a twin (supposedly) but SYJ was born earlier, it would make sense that the person in the ending is KKJ in his own body but look a lot older and mature, since he and SYJ are initially twin, so its not weird if they share similar physique.. idk, just my own theory, like most of others, i was hoping for a better ending, but undeniably, the only flaw to this drama is that it seems like they were trying to wrap it in rush thus caused the ending the be a little disappointing. but other than that, i think this drama is great, the idea and storyline is not bad (just not detailed), actors and actress are awesome esp gong yoo (as always), fashion and wardrobe (totally love them esp MaRi’s headband collection)
the only flaw is the ending, they should’ve make the story line bit more clearer and detailed, so the ending won’t end up like this
anyway, i’ll still looking forward to hong sisters drama, but make sure, you guys make it up for this. aja!
p/s: KKJ (in his real body) is sooooooo cute
August 2nd, 2012 at 12:49 pm
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD FILM
don’t look the ratings!!!!
not boring, fun, full laught…
must watch
August 2nd, 2012 at 2:29 pm
Thank you thank you KAddict for the feedback.. but i am also quite fussy over who the actor pairing with actresses.. i will try watching AGD and K2H for now as I think the pairings are good.
thanks again! see you in some other websites I am sure and look forward to your reviews of the dramas! yay.. you are our drama critic ..so well described for each episodes..!

@kimchilee-873,
Taste is of course personal, but generally speaking, these are good dramas w good pairings n endings, that r well worth watching. Song Il Gook in FF has lost his physique tho. LOL.
You don’t like some of the pairings in the list of dramas with satisfactory endings (#852)?
At first, I refused to watch QIHM becos I wasn’t convinced that Yoo In Ah could be a good leading lady. As it turned out, the role fitted her to a T. And we all know what their chemistry is like!
I’m excited abt Arang n Nice Guy for Song Joong-Ki n MoonCW–talk abt a hot pairing!. Dont know how good Faith will be, but will check it out for LMH. See u.
Have a good weekend!
August 3rd, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Weeh,I love BIG!the acting of GY is truly excellent:)I love how it ends coz Da Ran end up with Kyung Joon:)but just wondering what happen to Yoon Jae?
