Well, I cheated and watch the ending part of Episode 20 when it was uploaded and to my relief that Kang Yong Gi and Na In Jung despite all odds managed to pull through and start a life together. I was half worried that it will end up the same sad ending as did Kwon Sang Woo last drama a few years back.
This is the best declaration that Kang Yong Gi made of his feelings for Na In Jung. A conversation with a Lee Shing Young, a look-a-like to the dead Joaane that Lee So Hwan planted to test Kang Yong Gi’s love for Na In Jung.
LSY: What do you like so much about that woman?
KYG: That girl when she laughs, her eyes laugh first. That girl when she gets mad, the corners of her mouth go up. When she is mad, she can’t look me in the eyes. That girl when she cries, she cries very sadly. So that girl Na In Jung always makes me cry too. She is different from the girl who looks like you, Joanne. She always made things difficult for me and when she cries she made me feel horrible. when she gets mad, she made me exhausted. I loved her but she made me very tired. Love is stubborn even in front of itself. Na In Jung made me feel peaceful. She let me rest when I was tired. That girl Na In Jung soothed me who has wounds all over.
LSY: Can’t I do that? I want to do that for you
KGY: You are not Na In Jung
I loved the times they spend developing their love before the ugly truth and whatever the obstacles, Kang Yong Gi made sure that In Jung was at his side even though he forced her to his secretary.
Although many commented that In Jung was zoombie like but at least some jealousy spark in her when Yong Gi conveniently used the look-a-like ‘Joanne’ to stir some feeling in her. They had made a pact to be together until the spring before they broke-up and I guess they made best used of the valuable time.
Then came the guilt that happens to nice people in k-dramas, ex-lover Lee Soo Hwan has brain tumour and coupled with Yong Gi’s sister not approving their relationship. Yong Gi made sure that with a surgery, In Jung regained the use of her hand to play the cello again hence given her back something Lee Soo Hwan has taken away from her.
A year apart later, Yong Gi found success as an artist and held an exhibition. In Jung teaches children to play the cello hence having some resemblance of her past life. Guilt still holds them apart but at least Yong Gi’s sister Jo Ran came to her senses when Yong Gi when he was ill called out In Jung’s name as well. I am happy to say at least Yong Gi’s dream of In Jung are made of happier moments compared to the dark nightmares Joanne gave him. She finally met In Jung and gave her blessing to their relationship but she removed herself from Korea to make things easier for herself and maybe for them too.
After many attempts appeared a chance for them to make up, which I shouted at the screen to do something everytime we were together, Yong Gi was man enough to make the first move at the Uncle’s wedding. They returned to the Yong Gi’s house built for the island and I can imagine they will live peacefully for the rest of their live – An artist and a Cellist










i’ve watched this film and i like the twist of the story, it’s just that the leading lady seemed so “dry” in her role…they loved so much but then they just hugged….only kwon sang woo’s acting give significant to the story…
I am glad you enjoyed this type of kdramas as there are many similiar plots like this one. As for me, I was rooting that it did not end badly then it will really be ‘Bad Love’ for me.
You will realised that Korean dramas will not have the same display of affections like in American TV dramas as they are deemed to be cultured and reserved audience but we have seen some improvement of a change in some recent dramas.
Granted Kang Sang Woo’s acting is great here. The real ‘my love will never change’ type of hero. It is funny that the display of passion was more with the other partners than when they were a couple themselves. Who can forget what he can do in a short ride in an elevator!
i loved this movie. at first it was confusing yet later on throughout the actual drama it got better. the story line was very modern. kwon sang woo looked great (like always).
i recommend this for people who haven’t seen it yet. the ending is fantasic.. esp the hugs kwon sang woo gives.
could you please send me photos of yong gi’s paintings ^_^ i really appreciate the art behind the story of bad love ^_^ — or could you atleast tell me the real name of the artist :wave: thanx — leannepet@yahoo.com
