Que Sera Sera: COMMENT ROUND-UP

With QUE SERA SERA ending this weekend, I had the suggestion from fellow fans ginnie and Xena to open things up for you all to contribute your thoughts of the series. If we get a lot of great responses here, they thought it would be nice to share this compilation of thoughts with the people behind the series over at MBC’s official site, where people affiliated with the show have been known to read and post.

So, what do you think? Of the series, of the stories, of the acting, production, anything? If you had the chance to address the people who worked to bring us such a great series, what would you say?

Post your impressions here! With any luck, maybe they’ll get to read them.

Edited to add: Now that the series is over, I’m bumping this so it displays after the last episode summary. Original timestamp is: 2007-05-07, 9:02:23 pm

Also edited to add: Here’s an excellent example from Xena:

QUE SERA SERA…
a taunting, unbridled enigma.

To Whom It May Concern:

I have been earnestly enthralled with the K-drama ‘Que Sera Sera’ from the moment the first episode aired. The drama was refreshing, the direction bold, the story-telling ruthlessly brilliant and the characters divine. The performances from the two main protagonists; JUNG YOO MI and Eric Mun/MOON JUNG HYUK are flawlessly impeccable and their scenes together sizzle with all the right chemistry required to invite audiences to voyeuristically intrude and bask in these lover’s affairs, their arguments, their beautiful highs and their heartbreaking lows. ‘Que sera sera’ has moved me immensely.

JUNG YOO MI displays the same screen presence and sparkles with the same quirky quality found in international singer/actress Bjork, whom also seduces viewers, with a surreal woman/child demeanor. And Eric Mun/MOON JUNG HYUK portrays the damaged prince, anti-hero Casanova, contemporary Romeo beautifully.

Tae Joo being a tarnished protagonist is immensely appealing, for we see things through his eyes, which I adore. A character does not have to be ‘likeable’ or ‘safe’ in order to be appreciated and this drama has been courageous enough to display that. It makes no excuses and treats viewers with the curiosity of mature content without having to over explain itself. We are more than capable of filling in the blanks, no over justification needed. The love story of Kang Tae Joo and Han Eun Soo has been a taunting, unbridled enigma.

‘Que sera sera’s’ re-telling of the old love story of falling in love with opposites, it’s modern feel, topped with the edgy direction of KIM YOON CHUL have been a brave, dramatic and visual treat. And it has left me with an unquenchable thirst of always, simply wanting more!

I could go and on in praise of the serial but I shall not. I just wanted to thank the cast, crew and the production of QSS, for providing and sharing such a wonderful and addictive distraction in the world of ‘que sera sera’ and I wish everyone the very best of luck with their future projects. We look forward to experiencing new ventures from the QSS team and pray they shall continue to be as fearless in the execution of storytelling as this drama has been.

Thank-you

Hi guys!!!! Ginnie great thoughts from you....I am waiting for previews!!!! Need my QSS this week is going by way to slow for me!!! dry.gif

One thing I was thinking is that I love how we all talk about relationships and how they should be, and I hope that in our real lives we remember what we say here.

Love this "Once bitten, twice shy" from Ginnie...that is so true not many people take rejection well if any at all, and the heart is a tender thing that is very fragile to pain.

There was also something about how we should love with our hearts and not our minds...I agree with that to a certain extent. I believe everyone should have some VALUES, not STANDARDS when it comes to being in a relationship, because you don't want to settle for someone who won't treat you the way that you deserve. I will admit I have very high values, but I also realize that love is a very unpredictable thing, and my heart and mind is open to all those unpredictable possibilities. I am sure that a lot of the time we fall in love with the most unexpected people. But to me it is not what they look like or where they come from, or anything like that. It is how they make you feel when your together, it's how they look at you, treat you and the people you care about like your family that is important.

Also Ginnie said something about how relationships are harder to maintain that to start. Great words!!! That is so true, and I see that in my friends around me. Communication, trust, and respect are among the key elements to making a relationship work. You should give more than you take on both sides. People just give up when the going gets tough, instead of sticking by each other and facing the obstacles together, and that pisses me off. Because, I mean obstacles are bound to come about in love and in life and if you just give up without even trying then what was the point of starting it in the first place. Love is a journey and not a destination, it is the beginning and not the end. Once you love, that is when it starts. Just because you love each other doesn't mean everything will be happily ever after. You have to WORK AT IT, and not just expect it to figure itself out. Some people are just really lazy when it comes to love. I don't even know what my point is except that Love and relationships are not and never will be easy. They are hard because if it was easy we would take it for granted even more than some people do. I wish I could be like the voice in QSS telling the characters what we say here so they'd get a clue. Aigoo, but like life, love is frustrating but it can also be deeply satisfying!!!

....randomness, hope people can understand my ramblings!!!

Conductor you are funny...I guess your Satellite connection got disconnected...lol. You had some good comments. I think it true that a lot of women end up giving so much of themselves to men and then getting nothing in returned. Guys like that are tongue2.gif wacko.gif crazy.gif...that is why I hope to see a lot of growth from TJ. I personally do not think a person can change another person. I think that a person can inspire another person to change (FOR THE BETTER), but that person must want to change deep within his or her heart. But on the flipside, sometimes you have these amazing guys who end up with horrible women who use them and leave them with their seductive selves *yuck*. Women like that ruin it for the other women who no better than that. Some people think that love is a game and they've got all the winning cards...love isn't something to play or toy with. If you are going to love someone love them unconditionally, deeply, truthfully, and loyally in my book. It makes me sad that in real life people tend to stick to their own, marry someone who makes lots of moola, or has a high social status and call that love. I'd rather marry a man that is dirt poor and loves me and cherishes me, than a rich man who thinks of me as a trophy, because in my eyes I have the true wealth of wealths. Our world needs to get re-educated. I hope these characters will learn that life is very short and precious to waste it away playing game, hurting each other, and just living in regret. Time in not a right it is a privilege and I hope they will use their time wisely and with the right people

"The things that people in love do to each other they remember, and if they stay together it's not because they forget, it's because they forgive."
-Unknown-

To me if ES forgives TJ, then that is unconditional love on her part, that doesn't make her weak for forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.

Great phrase...when it comes to love and relationships...it in not the amount of time they spent together, but what happened during those moments together. I'd rather have moments than hours or days because moments are what make memories. Sometimes we spend too much time looking at everything wrong between two people instead of realizing what makes them so right for each other. One thing I notice is that people around me tend to be in wonderful relationships with people who share similar values but different personalities. Like if one is really talkative the other is really quite. I think that two people in a relationship should balance each other, where one is weak the other is strong and vice versa.

"Opposites attract"....OMO I need to watch episode 10 so we can all let go of the breaths we are holding and see how things play out. I kind of think I'll end up surprised!! (In a good way)

Your a realist huh? I guess I'm a bit of one too...yes love makes us weak but it also makes us strong..hopefully the latter is more dominant than the former!! There is this quote about how women should be with a man that loves them, than with a man that they love. Although women fall in love more easily than men do , I think once a man truly falls in love it is deeper and stronger. I do not think we can say that couples love each other equally, that seems kind of impossible to equalize their love for each other, so as long as it is deep and real from TJ's part and he does his best to show her that he's worth forgiving that would be great. I cannot get this show out of my head...the days are too long!!!!!!

Exactly, like I wouldn't mind doing things for my guy as long as I know he doesn't take it or me for granted, and that he says and shows that he appreciates what I do for him, and vice versa. It would be tiring to always be giving without any acknowledgment of how much of an effort you have made. Those little words and gestures of appreciation go along way. I mean it is too selfish to always take and not give back....TJ took a lot and know I think he has realized (hopefully) that he needs to give back. I don't agree with (When men are in love they go all out unlike women) unsure.gif You cannot generalize all women into that category, some women are like that but I hope and believe that most are like me and try to give more than they take, women go "all out" just like men do, sometimes more and sometime less. If only when we are in relationships we could communicate better the things that are unspoken and unheard to us.

I am like trying to stop smiling like a crazy person....I pray that all those juicy scenes with ES AND TJ are not just in the beginning of the episode. I am so happy..but I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gonna go watch over and over and over..............

ES is getting so tough in these episodes...so strong!!!
I feel bad for HR..but in love and in life you can't force things to happen..and if you do it ends up badly.

Are they sharing the same room...wonder if they are still at the resort place....

"I, Moon Jung Huk will try to concentrate only on my rowing and stop thinking about everything else. I hope that I'll be able to present Que Sera Sera to you as my gift as I enjoy my filming on the set."

This drama has been the best drama ever!!!!!!!! I hope that Eric will see that rating do not really reflect the quality of a production. Eric keep rowing!!!!! Everyone here on the land are waiting for you to come ashore!!!!!!!!!

AJA AJA FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have some thoughts to share someone said it well "reality bites" and it sure does but more so love bites deeply and leaves a nasty scar, and sometime not even time can heal it.

From reading all the generously provided caps/spoilers and so on (THANK YOU) this is what is going on through my head:

This drama is a bit too realistic now...in the real world this is a very typical situation money or love...happiness or status. Sometimes you have to choose and sometimes you can't have both. You then have to decide which one you desire,want, and need more.

Sometimes we do the things we don't want to do the save the people we love. I guess that is a form of unconditional love, but then again is is really the thing to do, When your decision hurts the person you want to protect, when it causes then pain and agony. For me I'd rather endure the obstacles together than to be protected. I would rather face it with him by my side than him looking out for me.

Someone said that love isn't enough, and in all honesty love is never enough...but it is the very essential part to maintaining a relationship...when everything goes wrong it is love that keeps you binded to one another. When you get angry, sad, hurt....love is what keeps you together. But without respect, compromise, honesty, LOYALTY, and faith in one another it can never work. Love is never enough but it is the deepest and greatest starting point.

I kind of want to cry because it is true that love can be so bittersweet, that at one moment it can feel like and eternity of happiness is yours to have, but then in the next moment the walls come crashing down on your hopes ad dreams and the darkness and sadness of reality can seep in and consume that happiness and leave you aching, longing, and in so much pain.

So in life and in love we are not promises days/hours or years...all we have are moments, moments that we can hold on to and make into memories to last us those days/hours/years if we end up getting them.

Love is something you have to take as it is, without expectations or obligations because you don't know how long you'll have to cherish it or how long it will let you cherish it. So love hard and love deeply...and when it ends don't weep with sorrow of what was lost because what's the point it is gone. Instead remember that you loved that you were loved even if it was for just a brief moment. Move on knowing that your human and that love is something you cannot chain up and keep forced to your side. When you have it hold on to it tightly and deeply and when it is gone let it go graciously.

Sometimes I think we are a world full of idiots about life and love...because even though I understand why TJ is doing what he is choosing to doing, at the same time I do not understand him. Like so many people they make these decisions with the self-righteousness attitude that they are doing it to protect the one they love, that they are sacrificing their selves for them. Who asked them to? Who told them to? Who wanted them to? Why couldn't he have just stayed and stuck by her. No one asked him to play the hero, and in all honesty no one wants him to. It is selfish of him to make this decision, a decision that yes has its merits but my God I just don't think he needs to do this, I just feel that their are other ways than selling his soul to the highest bidder.

I keep thinking about women like HR...if she keeps chaining men to her who don't want to be here she will never find one that can truly love her. A one sided love in a marriage is a pain no one should bear. It is an excruciating self-inflicted wound that will never heal. Why do people only see the world around them without looking at the big picture. This moment that seems to be lasting forever in HR's eyes can be extinguished if she'd just let go...let go an be herself and find how she can find happiness within herself. I do not think that she is really happy, and that what she thinks is love is not love. Love does not demand love in return. You don't love a person wanting or wishing they will love you back. You love them because you do, and if the love you back great, if they don't then let them go, and have faith that in this vast world their is someone longing for you and you long for them. There is someone looking at the sky the same way you are. There is someone wanting to be the hand you hold. If only HR would wake up from her daze and see the world in wiser eyes.

Yeah...I'm feeling a bit emotional now...this show is so real and so surreal at the same time...sorry for the long passage

Lastly,
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." -Helen Keller-

I honestly do not think they will actually get married...I feel that would lead to an extremely tragic ending, and I just do not know how they would all be able to wake up everyday with all that tension between the four of them if JH and ES got together. I honestly wonder of HR can really not love JH anymore...TJ is like Mr. Rebound for her...and can people really fall out of love that quickly and move on. I don't think so...I think she wants to be in love and loved so bad she is going to tell herself until she believes it that she loves TJ. I wonder if JH can really love ES too...can his heart that he loved HR with change that quickly. If it can then how deep were his or her feelings for each other? I am going to try and keep my mind open and not get to worked up. I will have faith that the QSS writers do not want toxic waste on them enough so to give us a brilliant and surprisingly wonderful ending. Where all the ends are tied up in a beautiful way. Where true love conquers status, obligations, selfishness, responsibility (that a person thinks they have, pride, self-doubt and shows us that in real life love can endure and persevere!!!

I truly believe the QSS writers will not let us down, no matter how they decide to end this show I feel that it will be satisfying. The fact that we are in this thread, analyzing and discussing this show so much already shows how effective this drama is, not just because of the story but all the elements that make QSS what it is.

I really have absolutely no idea how this drama is going to end, but as much as I am frustrated, I am also elated, because not many k-dramas can keep you guessing up till now. Usually by now I'd know they'd get together, and so even though there was conflict you knew that in the end it would all work out. But in QSS and in real life you do not have that luxury of knowing in advance that it will all be okay.

I'm learning from QSS that sometimes in life you don't get what you want, and because of that you have to make the best out of every situation and try and be as happy as possible.

I feel like JH is like Cinderella and that TJ really needs to get a clue...he couldn't keep his hands or his mind off of ES when he was with HR...he actually thinks things will change now?

^^^^ I think for some reason that the ending will be open-ended...just like life you never really know how it will end for the most part. I feel as if that is the biggest thing we are supposed to learn is that we should prepare for the worst and hope for the best. That the unexpected things about love and life are ever present. Like it is whatever will be, will be...if it is meant to be it will happen if not now then later.

"I'm so so disappointed in Kang TaeJoo. I don't care that he looked pitiful when he cried. I don't care that he looked so content having EunSoo by his side before he completely broke her heart. I don't care that he "sacrificed" himself to help EunSoo paid the hospital bills. If he thinks that by selling his soul is all that he is capable of to help the woman he loves, then he is one pathetic human being. Does he really have no faith in the both of them? Somebody PLEASE give this guy a slap or two!"

I feel your pain, TJ is a pessimistic realist....while ES is an optimistic dreamer in my eyes. I also think that he should have stuck by her and work it out together, instead of making a decision ON HIS OWN...I know you are frustrated as I am...but what is happening is life and reality and all we can do is have faith and hope in the characters and the writers and the director!!!!!

After reading everything that has been going on I am popping pills like candy and in need of my fellow QSS Ward members!!

So umm...first of all WOWIE excl.gif, this drama is too excellent for mere words, it continues to dispell the norm and just amaze me in its realness, which is a good and bad thing. We live in reality so sometimes we don't want to watch it. But I still think that we have all learned so much and I hope at the end of this QSS journey we each feel a sense of fulfillment one way or another. I am not to surprised by ES's actions, I felt that the past episodes were leading up to this change. From the way she dressed to how she did her hair she was changing. Now we can all argue about is it for the better and is it for the worse. I will contend that I feel as if it is for both. It is better for her to we wiser and more mature, but with wisdom comes a loss of innocence and that pure outlook on life. With maturity comes cynicism and bitterness, and a lessening of hope and faith.

Can you blame ES for feeling and acting the way she is? She lost the man she loves not once, but twice and she has to see him practically all the time, she cannot escape his presence and it is probably a pain she is unable an unwilling to bear. Pain can sometimes show itself as coldness, I mean how many times have you been cold to someone when inside you were shattering over and over and over and over? Just try and imagine her pain and then multiply that by a billion. What TJ is going through is to me not as bad as how ES is feeling. To give a man your heart twice and to forgive him, only to have him break it again would leave any girl jaded, same for men if a woman crushed them like that, they would also be the same. Because that person, has not only crushed their heart, but also crumpled their soul, broke their spirit and confidence, and furthermore dispelled their hope and faith in the wonderfulness of love.

For TJ, I understand that he wanted to protect ES, but I have stated before that in my opinion, he selfishly took it upon himself to solve the situation HIS WAY, money is an easy comfort but standing at her side would have been better. Suffering together, would have been better than suffering apart to me. I just keep thinking what are they all thinking? Can this senseless facade they are all entrapped in last? Can they really live the rest of their lives like this? Loving the back of a person who looks at someone else, knowing they will never be face to face with each other. Unrequited love is better than a false love in my opinion. I wish I could read their minds and slap some sense into all of them, so that they could see that they are ALL causing ALL OF THEM pain by their self-righteous decisions concerning each other.

People can't live life like that, and if they do then it is a miserable one to live. At this point I do not think that JH and HR have feelings for each other anymore, which I find sad, because I keep thinking how deep were they in the first place? How can their hearts be swayed so easily? I don't know whom is worse JH/HR for letting each other go, then holding on to people who don't love them, and for just letting themselves become the way they are. Did they forget the pureness of what love is? Or is it ES/TJ for letting themselves be used, and using those two in return for security and safety, whatever their reasons are I find it doesn't justify their actions. So who is the greater idiot among them? I have yet to decide. I feel they all have a lot of growing up to do, so I actually for once would not mind at all if they did a time lapse, because they have ALL forgotten what loving a person should be like, and they all have forgotten what being loved and loving should be. It should be selfless, their happiness comes before your own, and you CANNOT force something to be that just isn't there. No matter how much you long for it, it will never be what you want because it isn't meant for you.

I am deeply frustrated with all of them, but saying that I still have faith that no matter what the ending is they will all redeem themselves and find who they each are and will be in the future. I find that they are all lost souls right now, moving through life with the shackles of the past chaining them down. They each have to start making better choices, and realize that love is more pain than happiness, but the happiness soothes the ache of the pain. It isn't something that can be forced, or bought. It either is or it isn't. It will either be there, or it won't. No amount of safety and security can compensate for it.

Saying all of this, I am still rooting for ES and TJ to end up together, not because I want a happy ending, but because I think that it would give us all hope. That in real life people can get past all the obstacles and head in the same direction together, on one path and one journey at each other's side. That even the misery of love can be forgiven with the tenderness of it. To me the truest love is the one that has been dealt severe blows, but still will dust itself off an keep going.

Sorry for the long post, but it was nice to get that off my chest!!! sweatingbullets.gif

Hey, Conductor!! I missed your comments...I explained at the end why I am still rooting for them buddy, last paragraph....sos you aren't rooting for them?

I think the "imbalance" can be fixed but they both have to learn from their past mistakes and grow from it, so that the third time is a charm and they finally get it right. The finally realize what it takes to love another person, and that they both become people capable of being in love and loving another person. I say this more so TJ and ES

Another thing to add to my other post is you see how easily our actions can effect another person, and change them sometimes for the better, but sometimes for the worse. Be careful who you hurt, and realize that someone could do what you did to that person, and then the tears that fall will be from your eyes. I know that it is easier said than done, but realize that if your broke a heart you could get your broken, and if you fixed one yours could end up being the one fixed. Be wise and be kind!!!

No matter what I am sure we will all be surprised and have a OMG (hopefully good depending on what you want to happen)

But I was thinking today that we shouldn't expect too much from people so that we don't get disappointed, and instead will sometimes be pleasantly surprised.
(good and bad thing)

I think this drama will pleasantly surprise me with a fantastically unpredictable ending.

I will be happy as long as NO ONE DIES

Someone said something about JS's heart and I was thinking what if his heart saves her, or something like that. I will not be happy with an ending like that.

I mean that is just a NO-NO, let her get some surgery and go off with his Hyung...what if those two are the only two that end up together? LOL

I feel we will all be in for some shockers in the last 4 episodes, last two weekends of QSS, but not of this thread!!!

AJA AJA FIGHTING QSS!!!

QUOTE(The Conductor @ Apr 30 2007, 02:17 PM) *
You know there is a saying that says anything was broken once is never the same as as its original state. ES got her heart broken not once but twice the second we can it was in the name of love. TJ has been what I can think as ES love mentor in a bad way I might add. So whenever TJ breaks her heart she becomes colder than she was before. With TJ personality and attitude in a relationship where he usually single handly makes decsions that affect both Him and ES if that trends continues ES may become so cold that she doesn't fall in love anymore.

Although the possibilities of both of them end up together is there, but I just can't really see it happening.

I don't want them to start from where they finished or go back from the past, I think if they do end up together they will have to start afresh, learning from their mistakes, and leaving the past behind.

But maybe the point of this show is that we make mistakes in love, and hopefully if we fall in love again we will not do the same things we did, and hopefully this time it will last.

Who knows, this might just end up being an open-ended ending to drive us all crazy wondering all types of what if or this is what happens next scenarios...hopefully it will not!!

que sera sera was a refreshing change. each episode was unpredictable..i was always anxious for the next episode
the casting was great especially with eric. his pain and anguish definitely showed in the heart-wrenchig scenes

all thats left is the ending. hopefully its satisfying..hopefully ES has TJs baby and after a couple hectic scenes all is well and ES and TJ are happily ever after. hopefully they give us some scenes of happiness and not just make the final second happy / an open-ended ending would be really frustrating
i guess all we can do is have faith and hope in the characters and the writers and the director!

I was thinking that too, if they give us a tragic ending I feel that the one who will die is TJ...I hope not but I honestly think it will be him if they kill anyone. I think he'll die doing something heroic though. I hope I am dead wrong and no one dies!!!

If you were JH and knew that the woman you loved was with another man that she used to love might still love...I'd be jealous too.

But I care more about how he reacts to his jealousy...I want to see the calm and always in control JH lose it, I want to see him shake things up and be more human. I want him to lose his cool show some emotion...I want to see something flicker in his soul!!!!

^^^^^ thanks for the summary....I seriously think that HR is like a Black Widow...which is one of the deadliest spiders.

HR is very smart, she does things from the sidelines and doesn't cause scenes cause she learned from TJ's slap not to play "hardball" so now she does things the smart way to keep her prey... mean man by her side.

Wow this thread is amazing over 200 pages....man it took me a while to read through all the posts....OMOOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMO is the least of what I have to say.

I *bow* to the writes/director/actors/the entire cast for making such an eye-popping, heart-stopping, soul-wrenching drama that has really actually made me feel a multitude of emotions.

Why are ending kisses the worst? Cause it is the end?

I actually don't want a kiss....I know *shocking right*....I feel that love is better described in ways that mere kissing cannot tell. Does that make sense? Kisses are fab but I like hugs and hand-holding better or just some serious eye love...hehehe

This is my end scene:

TJ and ES are back together and they have the baby which is a little girl, I think TJ should have a daughter. They are in the elevator going up to their place and both of them are thinking about all the things that happen in the elevator and in the past few years.....TJ is holding ES's hand and gently rubbing it slowly and softly, over and over. Their daughter is sleeping quietly in her stroller, and ES looks at TJ with this soft and loving gaze and she tells him that she really, really, really, really, loves him. So much that sometimes she feels like she cannot breathe. Sometimes it overwhelms her and she fears she'll pass out. TJ is looking at her and you can see how much he loves her. He puts his arm around her and gently kisses her head, and then kisses her forehead. He tells her that he was a fool before but for the rest of their lives he will be by her side, and they will raise their children together and live their lives together. The elevator opens and TJ tells ES lets go home...THE END

Thanks...I feel that a lot of people in dramas and life feel that love has to be extra-ordinary for it to be love...There is a quote by Mother Theresa that it doesn't have to be extra-ordinary it just doesn't need to get tired.

I like simple and sweet and their is another saying that love isn't always firewroks, sometimes it just comes softly.

I want it to end softly and gently...I feel that they should end with the tenderness of love because we've already seen the passion. bitterness, and heartache that goes with it. I think tenderness soothes the soul!!!

beautifully written, I think that the shattered glass represented the shattering of TJ's barely left soul, or maybe also his feelings towards ES...he is shattered, once TJ was so strong but now it is like he is BROKEN, in mind, body, and spirit. Before it was ES trying to act like everything was okay and now it is him. Their roles have reversed a lot in my opinion.

Tae Joo remembering the good old times....Why did you let go of something so good for you, Tae Joo-shii?

^^^From Ginnie

Cause TJ is an IDIOT...I love TJ...but he is still and IDIOT...you reap what you sow buddy!!! Seriously I was thinking that TJ has no one to blame but himself for how things are now, he let ES go twice not once but TWICE...and now his foolish actions have seriously painfully dire consequences.

They should have weathered the storms together, instead of TJ acting on his own...life lesson guys: Remember that in life and in love all our actions have consequences both good and bad. We all hurt each other, and in return we get hurt. Sometime we can be the nicest, most wonderful people and still get hurt, but should you stop being kind? No, be kind anyway. If you love someone and they love you then stay strong together and fight for your love. If you are the cause of someone's pain and you are unable to change or make thing better, let them go. Remember false love is more painful than unrequited love. Live wisely guys and love deeply, and most of all learn from your mistakes, cause your bound to make them.

Coldplay: Warning Sign

A warning sign,
I missed the good part then I realized,
I started looking and the bubble burst.
I started looking for excuses.

Come on in,
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in,
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is,
I miss you.
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so.

A warning sign,
You came back to haunt me and I realized,
That you were an island and I passed you by,
You were an island to discover.

Come on in,
I've gotta tell you what state I'm in,
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is,
I miss you.
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so.

And I'm tired,
I should not have let you go.

So I crawl back into your open arms.
Yes, I crawl back into your open arms.
And I crawl back into your open arms.
Yes, I crawl back into your open arms...

OL....cause ES-TJ shippers don't like ES/JH coupling...myself included...however I don't think that most of us see JH as a villain...for me he is more like a barrier or obstacle.

ES is accountable for her actions and for her choices...especially when she married JH. I understand why she did it, but I mean it is still messed up. These are the consequences of her actions and her choices...hopefully she will wake up and start fixing the mess she has made, hopefully they all will.

Someone mentioned about what if this is all a game...it kind of is a game, the game of love, but I think that there can be more than one winner in this game if it is a game they all seem to have screwed up pieces...

TJ got jealous when ES was with JH...so it is only natural for JH to also get jealous..but I hope he doesn't do something foolish!!

I think it is because JH is older than HR, you know he is getting up in age and needs to get married and blah blah blah....

This is one tangle up web of mazes between this foursome, I seriously have no clue how things can become clear at the end. We have a potential boaby, JH and ES already got married, will TJ still marry HR, will ES and JH divorce, who's the father, if the father is TJ what will he do, if the father is JH how will TJ react, how will ES react, how will HR react if the kid is TJ's, how will JH react, will someone die, what is the truth behind the lies of JH's past, who's the real bad guy/girl in this, what is the moral of the story, will it be happy, will it be sad, will it make us cry, will it make us smile, will it make us mad, will it be a cliff hanger.......................??????????????????????????????????????

I'm in the same thought process as you....I fee like someone has to die for someone else to love/live kind of thing, I just hope that it is NOT TJ!!!!

Ginnie said before that this show is really TJ's story, and I have to agree, he has had the most growth and transition, and I think he has become a lot more of an adult, it usually takes something bad for us to realize the good we have and for us to make changes. There needs to be a bug change, so that means something really really bad has to happen, at least that is what logic tells me

A totally unpredictable drama that leaves u cracking your head guessin wats to come.. Very griping drama that is so different from the usual "I know wat will happen next" drama.

The songs choosen for the drama are just perfect. The lyrics n the mood setting. Big kudos of coz to the fantastic casting. Yoo mi just shine in her role. Didnt tink much of her inititally but she is jst so Eun Soo.. Eric of coz is perfect for the role of Tae Joo that leaves u wondering sometimes if he is Tae Joo.. Kyu Han n Ji Hye are just so right.. Kyu Han made alot of pple sit up n notice him now.

This drama is so real tat makes u really tink wat is really love...

Just sad that tis is comin to an end...

QSS is a great story..
I've watched a lot of Kdrama series. Most of them have similar storyline Its hard for me to like or love a Kdrama. Call me perfectionist when it comes to Kdrama.

To be honest, i'd only watch 2 episode of QSS. Most of the time, i'll come here and read the summary from javabeans. Only with reading and viewing some preview from the drama, i found myself in love with it. So, i started to watch it seriously.

Eric has developed his acting skill. He'd become more creative in interprets his character throughout the drama. He has learnt a lot from his previous experiances. As for me, a good actor is an actor that can conquers viewers. Emotions, body languages, facial expression and attitudes are at his/her finger tips. And i hope he can be that type of actor in the future. While, i never watched any of Yoo Mi acting skill before, but she's quite good.

Storyline:

Salute to the PD and crews. My first impression about this story(after a couple of episodes): ES is a naive girl and TJ is a playboy. Somehow at the ending, TJ will fall for ES and be a changed man.

That is what i think because of the Kdrama-style. And i'm wrong. Maybe she's naive but she's strong and brave. A naive girl tells a playboy that she likes him!!! What was that??!!And she really want to be with him. Interesting though. Life is unpredictable, right?

Maybe there're some kdrama-style in QSS, but, i didnt bother it so much as the conflict in QSS become more complicated in every episode. At somehow, the PD really risks himself and the entire crew when he keep surprising the viewers but it worth! The viewers love it!

I really adore the splash of reality that have been added in QSS. A lot of Kdrama showed that: we must fight for our true love no matter what the obstacles are

I love, love this show! I'm a k-drama fan and have watched my share of dramas...seriously, there's is nothing like Que Sera Sera out there. It has wonderful complex characters and a continually changing, believable plotline. For once, noone commits incest or dies of luekemia. It's real people, albiet real, really hot people figuring and muddling their way through life. Just hope that every one of the four will end up happy...cuz you end up liking all four despite their flaws.

MNIKSS is special to me, like it is to so many people, and will always be Director Kim Yoon Chul's finest work. Watching QSS makes me want to continue to follow this wonderful director who extracts such natural and realistic performances from his characters. All the actors in QSS, esp Moon Jung Hyuk, Jung Yoo Mi and Yoon Ji Hye, showed development as they embraced their roles and I'm impressed with all of it. Even the way Ji Hye walks, for instance, is very natural yet fits her role. Its not entirely graceful or proper, even though she is the rich daughter of a huge businessman, its her own walk because she's rebellious and stubborn. I loved little things like that in this drama. Eric's acting was also done well, as a Shinhwa fan I couldn't see the hip rapper in this player who just keeps making the wrong choices, but does it with style. Thats pretty cool.
I am glad that QSS has all flawed characters--no one's washed in milk or dropped from heaven--and everyone is really stupid and ignorant at some point or the other. They all make really bad decisions. Whats more realistic than that? There's plenty of melodrama in real life itself, and Director Kim finds that easily. Just like MNIKSS, everyone has faults and no one's covering them up.
The characters aren't terrible pushovers and doormats. Even the self-sacrificing is a different type, based more on foolish ideas what they think will be the best solution than the martyr quality which I was getting a little tired of.
The story moves fast and things happen, happen all the time! Yay for those exciting developments each week rather than the repetitive fights or dates or crying scenes that lead no where. I appreciated that a lot. There are plenty of twists and turns, and they come at you fast.
There was plenty I disagreed with--the sexual assault controversy (which I'm still not happy with, I could never come to terms with Eun Soo's change of character, I really thought she was the modern woman who wouldn't put up with anything like that), the sudden change in Hye Rin, etc...but good drama frustrates you as much as entertains you so I'm okay with that. QSS provided talk for discussion and it was controversial and unique in a lot of different ways, and I think its a step forward for a new kind of k-drama. I wish more people had seen it, and I'm sure lots more will in the future and love it, and I hope the entire team realizes there's a great number of people around the world who appreciated their work. Congratulations to all of them!
QSS Fighting :)

This series has made me cry and laugh and jump up and down infron of my computer and even screaming out lou while watching ^^
The music is also great, I love Bless you by Loveholic.
So thank you for this wonderful series

i really like the strength of the characters in this movie. i think the writer did a great job with creating the characters, and the actors and actresses did a great job of carrying it through. at this point, it doesnt really matter to me who ends up with whom, because the 4 of them are strong enough to deal with whatever happens

Que Sera Sera is one of those rare dramas that has faithfully emphasized on quality instead of quantity (of episodes). Rather than using lame conflicts and "cheesy" moments to boost ratings, it dares to cross the conventional line and literally let human nature(s) of the characters and viewers alike, takes its course.

The characters become a mirror of our own actions, almost too real at times that it made me weak on my knees. The bitter truth is that we are all a selfish being; that good doesn't always win against the bad; that not everyone deserves a second chance - but some do deserve the 1000th chance; that love doesn't conquer all and yet you can't live without it; and it goes on. They are beautifully delivered and captured in this drama; effectively appalling without being overly dramatic. Although we all know that these things do happen in real life all the time, we are still shocked by how bluntly honest the drama delivers its messages. It's almost like a shot right in the center of your conscience. No wound, but still hurts nonetheless.

Each and every episode has never failed to make my jaw dropped. Week after week always ends with a cliffhanger; cleancut, unconventional, to-the-point, and full of action; BAM BAM BAM. Just the way I like it. Kudos to the scriptwriter.

The casting choice is just superb. I remember, it was quite a challenge in the beginning to convince the viewers of some of the (relatively) new faces like Jung Yoo Mi, Yoon Ji Hye, even Eric Mun (who is in no doubt a succesfull gassoo, but still considered a newcomer in TV dramas), and Lee Gyu Han in his first leading character. But in the end all four leading actors proved everybody that they are the soul in these characters. I'm sure it will take a while for us to separate them from each respective character after the drama ends. If I may, I would like to give a special credit to Jung Yoo Mi. She (and Eun Soo) stood out the most for me from the very beginning, even though she carried the burden of taking the role that Yoon Eun Hye's regretfully dropped. All I can say is that, nobody can portray Han Eun Soo as naturally as Yoo Mi does, and I truly believe that. She's gaining plentiful loyal fans by the day.

The soundtrack and cinematography are both outstanding. Each compliments - without overpowering - the other, making some of the most memorable scenes forever etched in the viewers' heart; i.e. the twirling/round-and-round scene between Eun Soo and Tae Joo, the waking-up/hand-grasping scene on episode 10, the reminiscing scene (EunSoo crying on the rooftop, and TaeJoo crying in his room) with Doo Sohn-ul playing on the background. Those are perfect examples of how effective use of soundtrack in a scene can be even more heartbreaking without a single dialogue.

Last but not least, Kim Yoon Chul PD, bravo to you. You have once again delivers a praiseworthy k-drama that touches, or shakes-up to be exact, so many hearts. The rating might not show what you would expect, but I know for a fact that you have gained significant number of die-hard fans, including those who aren't familiar with your previous award-winning drama, Nae Ireum-un Kim Sam Soon. Thank you for introducing us to EunSoo-TaeJoo-HyeRin-and -JoonHyuk. They might have done hundreds of mistake to finally learn how to love but sooner or later, everybody will. The only question left is.. will it be too late then?

The little girl in me still wishing for a happy-ending, but let it be whatever it will be... Que sera, sera...

QSS is the show that I earnestly wait for each week.

It's great because it:
1. takes risks and push boundaries
2. mood (& setting) is different than other dramas
3. excellent music choice - this is a given necessity for good dramas
4. characters have odd chemistry. For me, TJ and ES don't really fit together easily but somehow works, or at least I accept it.

To me it's a great show and I enjoyed it very much but wasn't perfect. Here are some critiques:
1. I wish you developed the relationship between TJ and ES after the Singapore scene. They broke up too fast for us to fully appreciate their relationship and their new love dynamics.
2. Mood was always too depressed. Dark is ok but depressing is not good. Given that it has a lot of dialogue and not a fast story plot, it was too depressing and no action last 4 or so episodes. Suggestion - A lot of other sad dramas work because they have funny side characters to relieve the tension, so QSS could have offered some comic relief.
3. There are a lot of great qualities of QSS but some parts can be trimmed down and could been infused with something else. I could go and grab coffee and use the restroom while the show was running - which is not a good sign. My Korean is not great and wife helps, so when I ask her 'hey! What did he say exactly?' in anticipation of something really important, I've been dissapointed number of times lately because there was often nothing significant said.

Sorry for being a difficult critic.

Thank you for bringing us this excellent drama and taking the risks.

To all the cast, crew and all involved with the production of Que Sera, Sera,

Thank you for bringing us a drama that we could relate to and have followed religiously each week. It never failed to make me worry, cry, laugh, love, hate and sometimes plain angered by each character in the series. This is truly a feat to be able to create this much emotions in a viewer like me...who usually views dramas as just a past time. Why do I love Que Sera, Sera?

For the first time, I felt very close to the female lead in a drama. And I could relate to Eun Soo's first love experience with a person like Kang Tae Joo. It felt too real. At one point, I felt very pained by her experience and completely feared for the worst. Kang Tae Joo is a very attractive man. He is a dangerous man to fall in love. Loves power and status...he chose these instead of love. Realistic as he is and flawed as he is, but I still love him for who he is. That's the beauty of attraction, isn't it? You just can't tell why you are attracted to a person and you can't measure or stop this attraction either. That's Kang Tae Joo. A mysterious character that I can't help but understand and feel attracted to.

Jung Yoo Mi and Eric Moon Jung Hyuk did a splendid job in Que Sera, Sera. I feel that this series will not be this good without their honest and raw performances. Eric and Yoo Mi share incredible chemistry on-screen which is why this storyline works. For two characters that are so different in personalities, we need sizzling chemistry to believe they are in love and compatible. The best scenes that I love in this series involve them. For example, the incredibly moving round-and-round scene when Eun Soo confessed her love for the first time in front of Tae Joo. Not to forget, the magical moments when Eun Soo looked on at sleeping Tae Joo after spending days/nights together. They were very much in love.

I just can't get enough of both of them. Yes...I love Que Sera Sera because of these characters.

Special mention to Eric and Yoo Mi. Both of you are incredible actors ! I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

Love,
Ginnie

Ide love to say thanks so much for bringing us another amazing drama,

To the director, i loved this series just like "My Lovely Sam Soon", thanks for all the hard work to bring us another great drama

To the cast, thanks for all of your hard work and we all apreciate your dedication and time for the fans

Also thanks to everyone else involved in this drama!!

Also i'de like to let you know that your dramas are very addicting, i somehow stumbled upon a taiwanese drama and loved it, then i started watching korean dramas and loved them also...I live in the United States and i dont speak korean or any other langauge besides english (and i am also not asian, i am caucasian) and yet i was completly captovated by these dramas and i would really like to encourage further promotion of these shows in english speaking countries like the US, i know a lot of people who live in the US and were raised here and yet they are so influenced and love asian dramas like "Que Sera Sera" I think that proves that your hard work and dedication and skill does pay off, because you have fans from all over the world, including me!!

THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN!!

Usually I'm not much of a poster, but having followed this drama all the way through and die hard fan of Javabeans, I thought I'd put in my two cents as well and contribute to this crazy QSS phenomenom found here.

I admit I started watching this drama most entirely because of Eric. I love and adore Shinhwa and especially Eric. Because I was not impressed with his last drama choice, I really wasn't expecting much especially after hearing Eun Hye was not going to star in it. I honestly was just hoping for a decent story line and lots of close ups of Eric. But like everyone else, I started to get roped into the QSS world. I started off not caring for Yoomi and wondering how in the world Tae Joo could like her. Small, annoying, not entirely attractive and mostly I found her screen presence to be lacking. But after withnessing their growth of character and development of relationship, I now find the couple extremely enduring and captivatingly real. Their feelings and dialogue are so much fun and so honest. No mushy/washy stuff. I still don't understand completely why if Tae Joo is so hurt by the loss of Eun Soo both physically and mentally, why he could not bring her back. It is certainly within his power to leave Hye rin, but he's trapped in his own greed for material comfort vs. his love and feelings. Although its really his own doing and we should not feel sorry for him, we can't help but feel for him. Somehow I relate him to a puppy thats lost his way home after running out to play. The lost look and hollowness you see in him appeals to our heart strings and becuase you can see that only Eun soo can fill this hole you wish for them to be together.

They've done such a wonderfull job of turning themselves into their characters and becoming Tae Joo and Eun Soo that I forget its Eric now! Way to go! I'm soooo going to miss this weekly chase.

Thanks for a wonderful series. Somehow, lately, I have lost my enthusiasm for new dramas because of very lame and predictable plots. Que sera sera, unexpectedly, changed all that. It is a breath of fresh air. It's been a while since I actually cared for the characters, not just the main ones but all of them. They are so real and you see yourself in them through their confusion, struggles and their pain. It is ironic how we always tend to fall for the wrong guy, marry for the wrong reasons and covet what is unattainable. It is human nature I suppose. Ultimately, we suffer the consequence of past actions. Either we take responsibility for it or just wallow in self pity and regret. To judge the actions of each character as right or wrong would be too simplistic. This drama is about CHOICE, the choices they made in life and how they reacted to its consequences. It is real, haunting, beautifully done, ultimately heartbreaking.
Congratulations to everybody responsible for this series. Well done!
