An unexpected, yet epic ending (SPOILER ALERT)

In any TV series, be it Korean or Western or any other region, it is rare to see an ending that blows you up. This is one such ending, and you better watch the entire series before watching this episode.

SPOILERS FROM HEREON

The first 40 minutes was dedicated to the very sad and cruel fate of the lead female character. It focused on the reality of life that many of us refuse to accept. How painful it really is, no matter how much we deny it.

Yet, at the same time, it showed us how precious life and relationships are. Why we should value each other, even if we are strangers.

The next part was a very beautiful and touching answer to the question, "Why is the lead female character seeing the dead alive for one last time?"

And the answer was simple. They were all connected to her. Through the office/factory explosion which happened on her date of birth. Her mother used to work there, and was pregnant. She was born on the day her mother died, after helping a little boy. That little boy? He is the lead male character she fell in love with.

And every other people who went out of their way to help others during the fire accident, the lead female character later helped with their final requests.

Not exactly 21 of them. There were seven people directly connected to that tragedy. She helped them back, without her knowing, at their time of need. But there were 21 people who died because of that tragedy, and one was her mother, who was pregnant with her.

And if we think about it, the last soul she helped was her own father. A very painful and cruel way for everything to come full circle.

The last part of the episode? This was where it picked up and ended the episode in a high note.

It focused back on the male and female lead characters. How they have cross paths before, but haven't had any interaction. That no matter what may have happened in the past, no matter what happens in the present, we forge on and live. We continue with life, and be happy with what we do.

The male lead character, saving lives as a doctor. The female lead character as a funeral director, helping those left behind to bid farewell to their dearly departed.
