#ktl ep.16

[sunjaesol]

I absolutely loved the finale. I laughed and I cried... but I do have some notes.

I think it would've been better had we seen the process of her working on the B&B with the final beat being she's about to open, instead of fast-forwarding through a month of her successful business. Then, the night she opens, Won proposes to her. That feels like a cleaner way of telling the story, if that makes sense. It would've made more sense if the future of her B&B was uncertain and open-ended, given the themes of the story.

Like her grandmother said, she ought to live her life and if one falls, one can climb back up. Having Pyeong-hwa mention the business has been successful, felt a tad lacklustre.

Speaking of, Pyeong-hwa and Ro-un had a lovely, cute love story, but the sudden shift in tone of them visiting his mother's grave was a lot. Between all the sweet sentimentality, it was a punch in the gut. I liked it, but I think it would've worked better in the penultimate episode. (Which also means they could've gotten together quicker, but I digress.)

Da-eul's story was about becoming the boss that she is in her private and professional life, but I do still wonder if she really won by having her husband temporarily take on the housework. Until the very end, we didn't see a change in him, so we're not sure whether he and Da-eul can make it work in the future.

But other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed it! The chairman's eventual acceptance of Sa-rang, Hwa-ran finally choosing love in the shape of her son, all the cute Sa-rang and Won moments, Won's mother meeting Ji-hu, the Wedding™, and the epilogue which was Completely Fan Service And I Live For It.
