[Drama 2014] Fated To Love You, 운명처럼 널 사랑해

[heppy]

lol i was just browsing through JH's past interviews....and among his interviews from previous drama press conference, I found these:

"I am actually better in comic than action. I do have strength in it, but then what's even stronger is melo. I just haven't shown it yet." 

The news says he was being witty, but hey he was not joking he actually meant it....! He has proven himself to be the comic melo king thru FTLY!

I would say. He knows himself best!

I probably won't be able to watch tonight episode bc I have a lot of homework I always love discussing episodes with everyone here and I'm going to miss all you who were in this thread. I love how we all cried and kinda comforted each other win GD died and when our OTP were going through hard times. I also love how whenever someone had a different opinion than everyone else, we never put them down or cursed them. Everyone here is such a great sport and I'll miss discussing the drama in a opinionated matter.

P.S. I should have saved this for tomorrow, but I just had to do it bc I'm doing homework right now lol

P.S.S. I love JANG team! Can't wait till their next project together!

I just finished watching ep 19 with subs and I'm glad how they showed the reason why Gun's father left. The first part was hilarious! The scene where Gun was having an episode of memory loss and thought that Mi Young was Jang Nara ) really cracked me up even though it was only a dream. Furthermore, I find the scenes of our couple really lovely especially the scene where they tried to convince MY's mother to approve of their relationship by impressing her through rigorous exercise that will show how healthy Gun is. Also, it seems like we'll never get tired of piggyback rides from couples in kdrama! Gun & MY's piggyback ride scene really showed true affection & love. I can't believe that there will only be 1 episode left, I'll suffer another kdrama withdrawal syndrome..

"can you tell us what happened to the noodle?"

Jang Hyuk, ending remarks of 'Fated to Love You'..."The show that allowed me to throw in everything"
"I feel a mixed emotion of happiness and sadness that the drama is over. In fact, I feel more sad than happy, thinking 'when will I meet again this kind of drama, director, and fellow actors'...""Reunion after a long time with my partner was joyful. We had such great communication and synergy, I will remember it for a long time. And the director who allowed me to put down everything and film, he made the filming very interesting and enjoyable.""Regardless of the ratings, many audience have sympathized, loved and supported us and I am very grateful of it. We will try to make a joyful drama until the very end. Thank you."

There was this BEAUTIFUL review by a fan named M in FTLY DC gallery, and I really wanted to share it. It's a little long, but I think it's worth reading.

It did end with comic "Jang Na Ra!", but Gunnie's dream was actually not all that comic--'amnesia'.

He is spending some happy time with MY right now, but he is not dreaming some lovey dovey moments nor R-rated, but he dreams of amnesia. One of his most traumatic experience. 

For 3 years he slept crouching on one corner of the bed, probably not having a single night with good deep sleep

he finally is able to sleep happily by MY side and yet he has a 'nightmare'.

Dreams tend to show what is usually on our mind. Some psychologists like Freud claimed that dreams were manifestation of unconsciousness.

I think the dream showed Gun's unconscious insecurity. He did have the courage to be together with MY, but he is still scared and nervous about death, about the fact that he might forget his love at any time and might have to leave the loved one.

The reason why Gun was rushing a little was probably because of his own insecurity.

 Confronting Ssambap lady who was treating him like 'a guy who could pass away at any moment', Gun was actually seeing himself like that as well.

After reading Father's diary for the first time, Gun says he never wants to spend a day apart with MY again. In front of Chairman Wang, he says he will 'immediately' start living with MY.

 

He doesn't want to waste any time. He really doesn't know what will happen in the next moment. Worst case scenario, he will start to show the symptoms and will die, so how can he not cherish every minute, every second?

Today's episode spent a lot of time showing Gun trying to get permission from MY's mom. I think that shows how insecure Gun feels at the moment.

He needs to get the permission, needs to get married, needs to do everything quickly, before his time runs out.

His brain is telling him that there will be no regrets, staying with the loved one until the last moment,

but his heart is still vulnerable. The happier he gets, the more nervous he gets.

It is said that humans are the most insecure when they are the happiest. Sweetest happiness always carries shadows of insecurity.

He must be feeling like he is walking the clouds. The higher he gets, more elated he feels, but if he falls that gets more fatal.

No one can assure him how long this happiness would last, and Gun was still carrying the insecurity that this happiness might break at any moment.

Insecurity comes from the fact that a person cannot foresee his own future.

Gun is nervous that he might have the terrible experience of forgetting his loved one again, and he is scared that he might die.

His father was scared for the same reason, so he decided to leave his loved wife and son, and hide his sickness.

But the future does not always come in the form we imagine and anticipate.

Gun's father, in the end, died of a sudden 'car accident' not the 'genetic disease' he feared so much.

Isn't that life? The moment he decides to go back to his family, his life ends. What a fate.

 Thus, it probably is not the solution to fear the unknown future. Maybe Gun was more correct in deciding to go through it, holding on to the loved one's hand.

Human life is mortal anyway, and everyone experience death once.

When would that death be, and for what reason, no one can be sure.

The fact that there's a high 'probability' for the disease doesn't imply 'he will die of the disease'. That was the case for Gun's father.

So Gun goes looking for the tree.

Until he found out about Father's real emotions, Gun probably locked up his childhood memories with Father.

He thought Father cheated on Mom, thought he abandoned both Mom and himself. The hatred tarnished even the good memories.

But Gun realizes that Father made the decision same as his 3 years past self, and today he realized that Father actually regretted that decision.

So he decides to be a little more courageous. The moment Gun must have been curious at some point in the past but tried to ignore...his father's last moment. Gun asks Yong's mom about his father's last moment, he remembers the happy childhood memories with Father, and opens the time capsule he buried with his father.

It may not be directly confronting death yet, but I believe that itself was already Gun's courage.

Reconstructing the memories of his father, who he blamed and hated for entire life. The process of regaining the memories that he locked up. The process ofactively finding that memories.

One of the symptoms of the disease, the symptom that Gun experienced and thus decided to send MY again was 'loss' of memories.

And what Gun is now doing, bringing up courage to confront his given fate, is 'regain' of memories.

Gunnie, right now, is directly confronting the disease that is shackling him. He is throwing in his whole self to stand against the insecurity.

With the father's episode, which didn't include a lot of plot twist, and to be honest was a little boring, Gunnie's facial expression changes like this.

Holding MY's hand and running, he smiles as if he is a bit more free from fear and insecurity.

 Perhaps Gun will be the first son in Lee clan to win against the hereditary disease.

Who knows. Among Gun's ancestors, there must have been many who actually died of the disease, but there may have been cases, such as Gun or Gun's father, where the 'fear' of the disease exacerbated situation and caused tragedy.

There's this famous story. A person froze to death in ice storage overnight, but when people came and checked the next day, the freezer was broken and temperature was normal. But the person's death cause was actually hypothermia.

Maybe what really deteriorates a person is not an incurable disease or fate, it may be a person's own fear.

So Gun who is overcoming the insecurity and taking a step forward for a life without regret, he rightly deserves a happy ending.

Happiness is not a random gift from someone, it is something people earn and win.

Insecurity,

its another name is,

preparation for the new fate. 

It's really insightful and beautifully written, I'm afraid some of the beauty is lost in translation...

But really after reading this (before reading this, too, I felt it...this just articulated it a little more) I really don't think HD or amnesia was just a 'k drama cliche' which incompetent writers had to resort to in order to move the story plot ahead. It wasn't just a tool to simply re-set the relationship and divorce them and make them fall in love again 3 years after, just to follow the original...I really do think the disease was used for the real message the writers wanted to send, about confronting fear and pursuing happiness.

it's noon and I just have to come here for my FTLY fix (addicted here)

Somebody asked: What happened to the noodle?

The noodle died - like many of us have died over and over again because of sweet honey moments. Yes, noodles get diabetes too, apparently.

Euhahahahahhahaha :x

(Ref: The2watery post above, **I have difficulty in quoting a quoted article at soompi on my phone @-) ) ------ Okay.. this is to me is pretty much a confirmation that they have sealed the deal.. and indeed it's him who is expecting more of it.. LOL ) )

[Guest rienn]

I'm lost for words. Feeling a continuous pinch in my heart knowing tonight will be the last episode. No more filming, no more BTS, no more NGs, no more OST *deep sigh*

Goodbye LG and MY. It was a great pleasure knowing both of you, your family and friends. I will cherish the 3 months' memories. I'm wishing that you will be happy together forever in off-screen kdramaland or whatever you call it. I know I will make up scenes for you in my head every now and then. How I wish I could just hug you and say thank you *depressed*

Please, another project for JH and JNR. I know they will nail it perfectly and I think they want it too. They are just fated to be on-screen soulmates. CHAEBAL!
