You understand the workings of Korean entertainment a lot better than I do! =) Actually, I don't know if anyone caught this (or maybe it was just my imagination) but I kind of got the inkling that the production team was rushed in Episode 14 during GC's scene in the rain. They didn't wait for a cloudy day to film that segment (it's very rare for it to rain and the sun to be shinning brightly at the same time), and if you watch the top of the screen carefully, you can see a wavering black hose that I presume is used to spray the "rain" on GC. Or maybe it's just a branch? o_O

Thank you so much! Is she going to die? I hope she doesn't die... Just one question, is the ending of this drama going to be just like Loving You, Romance in Paris or any of those drama that the ending doesn't make any sense? Romance in Paris was the WORST! lol. thanks again! I love your summary! Thank you so much! Is she going to die?

I enjoyed this drama and was too curious about how it ended, so I watched it without subs, and even I got the feeling from what I could pick up that the dialogue just went on, and it seemed a lot of similar melodrama was repeated (I don't hate melodrama, it just felt off at times). I'd have been much happier with the resolution if it had been smoothly like everything else, but like you said, its probably because they had to rush to finish it. Thanks for the excellent summaries of another series! You are the best :)

Even if they were to realize they would have to stretch to make a 16th episode, I really don't think you'd get away with losing one episode at that late stage -- contracts have been made, broadcasts are scheduled. Particularly since (most) dramas air two days a week, to drop one episode at the last minute would leave a gaping hole in programming, and starting the next drama early would throw it off schedule. (The reverse is more likely, to extend something. Que Sera Sera, for instance, was pushed back one episode because of a soccer game, which would have thrown the broadcast schedule off-track, so they extended it by one episode. Adding is less of a problem than subtracting.) The production team knows from the start how many episodes they're getting, so if they plan well, you shouldn't run into that kind of a problem. And yes, I occasionally watch jdramas. I've got a Hana Yori Dango post up, actually.

I always wondered - is there some law that forces KDramas to be 16 episodes (most of them)? Why can't they end at 15 episodes when they realize they would stretch it out too much into 16 episodes? Or do a special last episode that's slightly longer (1.5 hr) if 1 episode would be too rushed. Is there no flexibility in the programming schedule for that? I hate to see BC leave a less-than-satisfying taste after such a strong run simply due to straight adherence to the "16-episodes length".
