Eventually they did and she gave up and died. This final episode left me confused and with a sense of "this was it?" This was my reaction seven minutes before the ending: WHAT!? I still can't figure out how Mr. Kim killing his family meant that he needed to stab Soo. Really interested to check it out after watching 'That winter'. When one insane team member is found dead naked on the snow, the environmentalist James Hoffman (James Le Gros) suspects that sour gases may have been accidentally released in the spot provoking hallucinations and insanity in the group. I'd rate this above "Nice Guy" but below "I Miss You". Maybe they are all waiting for Moo chul to show up. Ill try to remember the good times, and Ill be sure to remember that through you, I discovered Jo In-sung. Either way I guess its a happy ending that they are together! I felt that the plot and the characterizations started to fall apart in the last episodes. And I know kdramas are all about redemption and forgiveness but pls not Secretary Wang, r u kidding me?! . When Hee Sun and Jin Sung were debating which flowers to give "Soo", they either meant to give flowers to Young's real brother Oh Soo's grave, or they wanted to bring flowers to Soo's new shop because they feel bad for Jin Sung's betrayal. JS to me was a consistent character. Larry Fessendens 2006 The Last Winter brings us environmental catastrophe, a hauntingly real world-ending thriller. Like you, I didn't understand why she couldn't have that conversation with OS when she was having her tea and he was there (right there), and she had already shared her questions with him. The one exception that comes to mind is "Alien Resurrection" in which he was reasonably cast, as a very tall macho oddball. The male protagonist is a con-man in some sorts. Had he survived, there would be no talk of bringing flowers to see Soo. Why did he have to go stab Soo? :D. 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. Ron Perlman and Connie Britton were the only ones acting. From the very beginning, this is something we havent seen in the game. The acting wasn't by any means bad either. Hed told Wang not to tell Young. Just Abby in an open room. But seriously, despite its at times heavy flaws- I still love the show. In these final moments of The Last Winter, Fessenden effectively emphasizes the very real horrors of environmental destruction, bound to leave the stench of death in the universe we call home. Some power that be wanted a happy to make viewers happy. 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. The only thing I was actually left wondering was what happened to President Kim? The ending was so confusing. That said, I've never had a brain tumor killing me. However, Puss realizes that his one life is worth fighting for, and chooses not to use the stars wish. }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Theres a light at the end of every drama tunnel, but sometimes its how we get there that matters more than how bright that light turns out to be. Its no surprise that Soo lived, since every character in this show (aside from poor Moo-chul), displayed a knack for healing without a scratch. And HeadsNo2, thank you, once again, for not squandering your gift and for so generously sharing it with us. Which is crappy and yes, obsessive and crazy! His fellow Native Alaskan worker, Dawn goes insane shortly thereafter and murders Motor, the station mechanic, who had been injured when the plane crashed into the building. (hahah). appId : '127538621120543', | Who, out of the two of them, showed more human compassion? Sure, we can theorize that Soos stabbing somehow put the kibosh on his burning desire to be there for Young during her surgery and chemotherapy, because its totally fine to let a suicidal person depending on you assume youre dead. Anyways, thanks for such wonderful recaps. He struggles to his knees as we pan to the shoes of the man who stabbed him, the trembling man holding the knife, and up. A lot happened in The Last of Us, and players can probably expect the story in TLOU2 to be even more suspenseful and compelling (especially if Ellie finds out Joel was lying) when it releases on June 19, 2020. Meanwhile, Hee-sun sees a big truck headed their way on an empty street and warns Jin-sungs father, but he can only look in shock as the truck keeps barreling toward them. The promise of sizzle from early on in the show fizzled out too. Im a huge fan of love me not - the movie, and for me, twtwb was the perfect adaptation, im sure no other producer could have made it better. Young notices that her pre-surgery breakfast smells better than usual, only to find that Secretary Wang returned to cook it for her. Headcanons for Shinsou, Sero and Bakugou and a character of your choice where they end up in a staring contest with the reader--their current fixation. Some of my questions might seem superficial, however I wish things had been made clear for us :-(. 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. I guess its up to intrepretation but it may be that those two are actually alive and everything went well OR they both diedSoo died first bc he got stabbed which is why he is at the restaurant "6 months before" waiting for her. My take: Soo died. Could you please make sense? We all know that oil is a non-renewable resource. Cherry blossom petals rain down as they kiss in soft-focus surroundings. I believe that if we are to see the end it wont look anything like weve come to know or expect. Seriously. Blurry happy ending scenes are so cliche. But I can still accept your interpretation of the ending as it makes way more sense than mine. A friendly football game outside of the housing area is interrupted when environmental scientist Elliot accidentally collides with rookie oil worker Maxwell, resulting in Elliot getting a bloody nose. ), but he stays on the phone with Mi-ra to get updates on Youngs surgery. I cant even. But he had some charisma so that got brushed away at the end. He stumbles back to camp that night traumatized, just as the others are about to head out into wastes to look for him, claiming that his radio had been not working. 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. "Young has a surprisingly full head of long hair a year after brain surgery, and everyone seems to be having a good time." Sigh. Nobody knows what happened to the cook. Thanks for everything, drama! A passenger plane then crashes near them, causing their vehicle to get caught in the explosion. TWTWB was one of the few melodramas I actually completed so kudos to that. Larry Fessenden's "The Last Winter" is a ambitious and smartly made film. It really did feel very Kdrama-like to separate the characters for the sake of separating them? The "threat" in this movie was inadequately developed and almost non exsistent. Neither of them died! The ending was definitely real. // Load the SDK asynchronously If Oh soo died, the flowers would be placed to a location where he died or to his favorite place or maybe where Oh young and Oh first met. Why shill on a movie 12 years old?? I will agree with deducing opera, that in general, barring sacrificing yourself in a suicide 'mission' to save others, suicide is a big o' hey look at me. I think that is what the writer ment. Jin-sung, WHY did you hang up on Hee-sun?! Hee-sun sees Soo off for his big gamble, after which he plans to go to the hospital to see Young. My biggest gripe is the directing of this show. Boss Man is hosting the game, and announces the grand prize seven million dollars. hmmm i thought the flowers were for the real brother Soo? Ah, so maybe shes making plans for the future since she wants to have a future now. Since it is a melo, I get that they don't need to have everything tied into a neat happy ending. Aka, back off. Unfortunately, the teen's first kiss also leads to one of her visions, which I don't blame people for being suspicious though. (the way to end the show?) I was hoping for a more straight-forward ending, but I'll take this too. Iceland was chosen because of the poor film infrastructure in Alaska, and Canada the other obvious shooting location was not flat or snowy enough. Basically the movie starts off a lot like The thing with some modern ecological themes mixed in. Secretary Wang wants to know why, considering how she made Young, you know, blind. Especially since Soo's death would have been dependent on a storyline I found illogical and kind of out of place. As you said, this show was well acted, well scored (and the editing was well done for the acting and for how the music was placed in the show). I always felt as if she was always looking at me with all her body and heart. There was a time when I liked watching her because I expected things to change, and when they didnt, I couldnt understand why we would be expected to be on her journey no matter how much I wanted to be. But gradually, the characters grew on me, and their relationships touched me. I will join you guys in saying that I am also quite impressed with Heads' writing and her sense of humor. As for the ending, I still kinda feel in some way that Soo is actually dead and whatever was happening was happening in some parallel universe, lol. I was wrong. Only when hes out does he call Secretary Wang to ask her to return, because hell feel more at ease if shes there to take care of Young. I totally agree with all your comments, except, I rather liked how they twisted the Jin Sung - Oh Soo loyalty in the end. Seriously, I can't wait for his next drama! The flowers suggested by MC are the favorite flowers of Oh young and her brother same with Oh soo. (I am just curious about that part). Soo drags his feet, futilely trying to make it to the hospital as blood streams from his wound and tears stream from his face. It's almost like the story is saying that sometimes people really, really hurt the ones they love but we forgive them? But for some unknown reason, we refuse to move forward. I wouldn't be here if it always follows my logic. Still, I'm glad that none of the main characters died. Jin-sung readies to stab his best friend again, but he cant bring himself to do it and drops the knife. I got tired of the cons, of the directing, of the music. I guess it wasnt over for me either when I let you go. It's lovely and I don't think you can blow it off as just pretension. Really? I really love him. Why? She proceeds outside, and the camera's perspective switches to a claustrophobic overhead shot that gives away very little of what she is witnessing. The Last of Us ends with the duo seemingly heading back towards Tommy's settlement, likely with humanity doomed as a result. "The Last Winter" has an effective build up. Gangster Wannabe goes scurrying off with his tail between his legs just as Moo-chul collapses, spitting up blood from his stomach cancer. And then i realized, she was only recuperating possibly and thus through her eyes, things are still blurry. Oh, btw about the cherry blossom painting we saw in this episode..there was another painting shown in the first episode of TWTWB, but it depicted a barren tree instead of flowers in full blossom (what lovely symbolism). The flowers of MS and JS was at the table. The American oil company KIC Corporation is building an ice road to explore the remote Northern Artic National Wildlife Refuge seeking energy independence. But I thought her extreme trust issues were well shown so I bought her character as a whole. Or they could be alive and the memorial was for brother Soo. I crack up at times while reading her recaps 'cause she's writing about serious moments in such a dry, humorous way. So, the suicidal attitude has always been there and it takes months of treatment, so I can totally relate to OY each time she is going back and forth with the suicidal attempt or negativity towards life. The love of your life, the one you defied death for (whether you died and are meeting in the afterlife or here on earth)! But then Id be asking for realism, and that is not what this show was selling. Hoffman had refused to sign off on permission for heavy equipment to be brought in to help move drilling equipment due to potential damage to the tundra earlier in the film; Pollack and his boss, Foster, arrange for Hoffman to be replaced as a result. And thanks for the recaps, u DB ladies are gold! Are they still alive? I guess that is what fake-outs are for). When he is found dead out on the snow the next morning, Hoffman suspects that sour gas (natural gas containing hydrogen sulfide) may have been leaked out as a result of runaway climate change (arctic methane release). The writer likely originally wrote a typical melo ending. I loved how Kim Bum's character broke out of his loyalty and had that crazed, red rimmed look after he stabbed Oh Soobut then..wha.? I hate unreasonable story, because it messes my head. She needed her since Soo was not in her daily life. Like it's sometimes distracting. "Going to a movie theater is less about the size of the Now that we've had successful film adaptations of LOTR Press J to jump to the feed. And second, Soo is alive because, as you say, picklemonster, they have too prosaic a conversation. Well, Young must be alive. There really wasn't that much plot, when you come to think of it and it makes sense, why it was a 2 hour movie versus a 16 hour drama. The ending scene is that of the only surviving researcher, Abby Sellers, waking up alone in a deserted hospital with no recollection of arriving there. So the truck didn't run over everyone? js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; Last Winter has amazing moments of sustained tension that made me want to cower in fear. Same here. 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. But since it didn't really do anything anyway I just push it from my mind and enjoy what's left. He might cook too, but I didn't strike me as anything fancy. Documentation and research found in an abandoned shack in the middle of the Arctic by another team member suggest that the Earth is releasing 'The Last Winter'. There is one final moment after Joels first moment, and its arguably one of the most important parts of this episode. As for suicidal Young, it didn't come as a shock to me. 3/10 for a good cast trying to save this movie. I think Jo In Sung really out did himself here and would watch it again. i can't believe that is finished now.best best drama i have ever seem and it's the best drama of 2013. [11] In describing it as a traditional Gothic horror story, Carina Chocano of the Los Angeles Times wrote that it "accomplishes with a modest budget and a talented cast what bigger, slicker, gorier contemporary horror movies rarely do". I loved this drama. All suicide attempts are a cry for attention? The characters were very well scripted and portrayed. endings were perfectly done. The revelation at the end of The Last of Us Episode 1 suggests that she is somehow immune to the effects of the fungus infection. I'm with you-- this would have been a wonderful drama if the writers hadn't given up on the characters towards the end: I felt that we were just coasting, or worse, slipping and sliding, as the show labored its way into the finale, and there wasn't even a good "save" in the closing moments. Super evaluation! I love you.. Even if OY couldn't forgive OS at that moment, they could have still talked, I thought. I think they are dead. You got it, boss. Open your mouth when you kiss such a hot man who obviously loves you so much! Wang walking back in so easily into OY's life. Thought it might be a slow burn leading to some awesome ending, not. She didnt really want to commit suicide, it was just a cry for attention? xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page This place is weird: Jim Hensons Liminal Films for Children and Adults. Are they both dead and finally meeting in the afterlife? Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. 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. I was also impressed by the consistent beauty of the cinematography; perfect contrasts, appropriately warm tone, gorgeous scenery, etc. I was also unhappy that Soo didn't take the money, making his con a moot point but whatever. According to Secretary Wang, Soo started there six months ago. Srsly the ending confused me i wanted to see wt happened next when Soo got staped i mean when he healed and stuff XD hmph oky i was happy that they ended together & happy ending but not like this lol . These flowers symbolize happines, wedding, and love. I'm glad I watched, but I wish it had held the awesome all the way through. We have to understand where a character is coming from and why on a basic human level, regardless of circumstance. As if to answer her request for them to be able to talk once she wakes up, Soo kisses her. We shouldnt have to go through what a character is feeling in order to understand them if that were the case, how could I understand the plight of second generation chaebol princes or cross-dressing nuns joining an idol group if Ive never been in those shoes? "[9] Metacritic rated it 69/100 based on 17 reviews. Admittedly, I am not a consistent person. I will miss this drama.. hiks. One of the least enjoyable finales av ever watched! I mean, there's blunt force trauma, but it's not exactly subtle. Though IMY is a drama I'd only recommend with warnings attached (it's definitely not for everyone) there was no story-logic fail. What's with Jin sung and Hee sun talking 'bout bringing flowers to Oh Soo? I didn't have a problem with Soo not taking the $$ though! (And we don't know because we don't see anything alluding to that). That ending just confused me. Honestly I was angry there about a great movie being ruined so heavily sitting there and kind of screaming "zoomout and pan, goddamnit" to the camera man. The goal of /r/Movies is to provide an inclusive place for discussions and news about films with major releases. It was a visually lovely show to watch. The ending just seemed so fanservice (and I know I have already said that, however, that feeling kept staying with me). It's the memory of those far superior movies that make this one watchable at first. I am just speculating of course, however, that was what went through my mind. I also like how she explains things, we get to see her thought process and I am grateful for that. The drama in it's entirety may not have been as solid as it's looks, but I for sure will not deny them. This happy ending is what sealed this drama into my heart. I loved that. So I read Heads' recap and some of the responses to see if I could understand a few more things before I started writing. By the end, I was amazed at how, for virtually every character, NHK had managed to show the good, the bad, the ugly and the more beautiful than a flower. Theyre in it to win it or else. Like you say, she made Young blind! Really, why? It did difficult to play blind person who has to display lots of deep scars and emotion. Required fields are marked *. It is also in the mind of the person a VIABLE solution to their problem. Just like the one guy says, "Soo was willing to forget pride".

I watched the last episode of Queen of Ambition yesterday. Several hints: the sad look on Jingsung's face even though he was with his family safe and sound; Young's long hair-there is no way a woman who just finished chemo could still have such long hair just six months out; there was this sadness through out the last few scenes-the falling flowers from the trees, the blurry and white-out treatment of the shots-some contributed to the theory she must have regained partial eyesight and that is why you see the blurry shots. One of the characters presently opines that nature itself has turned against mankind. The New Amsterdam series finale followed Dr. Max Goodwins final day at the NYC hospital but many The spirits of the tundra that some see in this movie are seen because that it is what their mind has resorted to in the end. By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. The cinematography was imo not distracting but rather very well intergrated and instrumetalized, the music was good (this is where i usually loose my patience first) and Jo In Sung and Song Hye Gyo just clicked for melike massively, hugely, "pleaaase work together again". I won't try to understand that, just feel like many dramas have this thing with making even some of the foulest people redeemable or sympathetic in cases in which the person has a child or takes care of a child. Though I did see the charm the actor brought to the role that was a little too fan-servicey for me. Oh you have made it perfect sense.I did not feel the flowers were for the grave, as lambs ear was more for OY than OS. (Dude, where were you when your boss was driving on pain killers?). Later that night, Soo affixes the bell string to her wrist again. @picklemonster: I was happy with the happy ending, too. In fact, it's degenerative.
