Any of you seen the c-drama “The Golden Eyes”? Most open-ended ending yet. But I just read someone’s theory of the ending and it was beautiful so I’m going with that explanation.
I know what you mean about the FL in the first episode. That doesn’t last long and they become friends. But that really isn’t what the drama is about. It’s very slow paced and detailed about jade, jade auctions, antiques and their historical significance, all couched in a murder mystery, a supernatural mystery, some dangerous situations. You might find the first 20 episodes or so too boring to continue, but I’m just in the mood right now for something slow paced and detailed. In fact, it’s made me curious about jade and archaeology.
It depends on what you mean by “open”. If you’re looking for romance, I don’t exactly remember. That isn’t what’s open. It’s a question of whether he lives or dies. BUT, this person’s theory I read explained it really well, and let’s just say (without spoiling) it’s a good ending if you think she’s right. Do you want me to spoil you now or later?
I’m watching for Lay too, I love his ordinary-man character in this drama, laid back, not aggressive, just a really nice guy who gets himself in trouble and ends up with a special power.
@zgs1994 I’m only up to ep 25 on the rewatch so I should wait til I finish it. But I will say it’s very open ended whether he lives or dies, but this person gave a great explanation as to why she thinks he lives. Plus, the show was shortened from 60 to 56 episodes, so we know he would have been in the last 4 anyway.
What’s bugging me right now is his best friend, the chatty one who’s gotten beyond annoying. I’ve started ff thru his scenes.
@zgs1994 What I’m saying is it only appears to be open ended. When you think a bit, you realize what the outcome had to be, which was a good one. And I’m 95% watching it for LAY – I was surprised I found the antiques and jade bit so interesting.
As far as the rest of the characters, not so much. But I loved how Lay was an ordinary, nice guy, he was a bit too trusting, not a superhero, but I really liked his character a lot.
