[bedifferent]

Like Dr. Kim said, we all have our seasons. Seung-Hyo is not an old man by any imagination but he made the right decision to leave. There is always someone better and more attractive ready to step into his shoes.

My heart to! I need a heart transplant from Glutton. He really is Glutton - a bag full of snack! He looks so ever relax - out of those restricting outfit. I'm laughing at the fact that - in that scene Tae In Ho-ssi basically wear his own clothes! That shirt & that watch he wears @ Jtbc's Life & Tvn's About Time after party!

  [Goodbye 'Life'] Cho Seung-woo's true story, Lee Soo-yeon's limit

From Herald Korea

Spoiler

JTBC Wolhwa drama 'Life' through the audience clearly two things. The first is the dominance of the actor Jo Seung-woo and the second is the limit of Lee Soo-yeon, the new monster who has won the honor of BaekSang Art Grand Prix as his debut TVN 'Secret Forest' (2017).

'Life' ended on November 11. In the last inaugural broadcast, Seung Hyo Koo (Cho Seung-woo), who was laid off, succeeded in preventing the commercialization of Sangkuk University Hospital instead of solving the crisis of Chungmun Sung.

Seo Hyo, who came to meet doctors with the consideration of the last working day, the hospital director of Oh Se-hwa (Moon So-ri) and the vice chairman of the university, This scene gave a tangible touch compared to the 3 minute speech in the auditorium where the doctor slaughtered a lot on the day when Seunghyang first visited the hospital in 'Life'.

Ino-e (Won Jin-ah) confessed his mind by catching Seunghyo leaving. However, Se - Hyo left with only good - bye. In the end, Ino-ue decided to leave the Shang-gang hospital and go to a local hospital. Before his retirement, Nogu insisted on establishing an independent foundation for his seniors, including the hospital director, to escape from the chief of inquiry. At the same time Seunghyou proposed a new business to the president and became president of another business. Over time, Seunghyun came back to the local hospital where he worked.

On the other hand, Ye Jinwoo (Dong Wook) has no longer seen the illusion of his brother Sun Woo. I was able to overcome the trauma and enjoy happy daily life with my real brother Sunwoo. As the new president of Sangkuk Dae Hospital, actor Lee Jun-hyuk appeared as a cameo, and 'Life' came to a close.




'Life' was one of the anticipated films in the second half of this year. 'Secret Forest' Lee Su - yeon is the author 's next work, and Jo Seung - woo once again held his hand. The 'Secret Forest' was not a drama with simple courtroom or inspectors. Through this 'Secret Forest', the artist sharpens the corruption in the prosecution and showed insight into the abandonment of modern society through it. In addition, actors such as Bae Doo Na and Yu Jae Myeong, who starring Cho Seung-woo, and Lee Hyun-hyung and Shin Hye Sun, have achieved acting ensembles.

The start of Life was similar to the Secret Forest. 'Life' is based on a university hospital, but it is hard to define as medical water. This is because they are more focused on illuminating the power structures and interests surrounding the hospital than showing the doctors the operation of the patient. In this drama, a large company called Hwajeong Group took over the university hospital and after that, the things happening in the hospital, the people who voiced each other to survive, or the doctors who joined the force came up.

The actors who played this were also impressive. Jo Seung-woo, who once again cooperated with this artist after the 'Secret Forest', was unquestionable. When Yoo Jae-myeong, Moon So-ri, Moon Sung-geun, etc. were caught in one frame, it seemed as if the screen of the theater had been moved to the TV. The veterans' acting contest attracted the admiration. Taein Ho, Hyeon Hyeon, and Kim Won-sun from the top of the second half of the field to join Jeong Mun-sung's new stellar performance was also poured.

However, at this point in life, the reaction of viewers is inferior to the 'secret forest'. There are many viewers who were disappointed as expectations were high. Why?




'Life' production team, before the show, 'the number of important cold-blooded champion seunghyu and focus on the faith of the doctor focused on the psychology of many people, I will draw a dense and dense. But the reality was different. Conflicts between businesses and hospitals should have become prominent due to the confrontation between SeungHyo and JinWoo. Seung Hyo and Jin-woo, the two characters have not been balanced because of the development of the play.

The fun of 'Life' was based on Seo Hyo thoroughly. The conflict that aroused when he took office in a university hospital, which was intended to make a profit, was stimulated by the audience at the beginning of Life. In this process, Jo Seung-woo's acting power of Seunghyou raises the character's persuasiveness. Seung Hyo, who was introduced as a villain in the 'Life' broadcast, and this character has met with Cho Seung-woo, and the number of viewers who support him has increased.

While Seung Hyo received the support of the viewers, the characters of Jin-woo lost their way. Originally, Jinwoo was one of the characters who had the most job to do in Life. I had to dig out the secrets of the suicide of former hospital director Lee Bo-hoon (Chun Ho-jin) and plan to fight against the Hwajeong group together with the hospital doctors and senior medical doctors. The problem was that the busy Jinwoo was just an emergency center specialist. It is virtually impossible. Of course, 'Life' is a drama of fiction. However, because it was a drama in which the ambition to sharpen the reality inside the hospital was put on the foreground, the point lacking reality was felt even more unfortunate.

In the extension line, the meaning of the character named "Noh" was doubtful. Glow is a classmate with Jinwoo. A bright, positive, sunny day, Jang Hwa jumped at the hospital's president, Se-Hyo, and joked. It seemed to see a typical female character in an unrealistic romantic comedy. Even from now on, the atmosphere of seunghyo and strange has spread. It was clear that the relationship between the president and the employee was somewhat lacking in the feeling of love and romance. Above all, the viewers had to be more confused because they did not present a clear episode in which the two characters were placed in this relationship.

Likewise, it was hard to sympathize with the romance of Jin-woo and reporter Choi Seo-hyun who met for the hospital coverage. In particular, the relationship between the main narrator of 'Life' and the relationship between the two characters play a separate role, and the scene of Jinwoo and Seo Hyun seems to be boring.

Here, the artist's vulnerability was clearly revealed. It does not properly add additional romance to the main story. One of the reasons why the Secret Forest was so popular at the time was the absence of romance. Most domestic dramas are accompanied by a love story regardless of genre. On the other hand, the protagonists of 'The Secret Forest' came together only as a colleague. There was no scene suggesting love. The message that the drama wants to show is rather clear because there is no more feeling than necessary. But 'Life' had a romance narrative of all the main characters. However, they were not connected smoothly. Romance, including the story of the family of the Jin Woo and Sunwoo brothers, the story is far from the main narrator, and Jungwoo heating spreads, and it is said that the whole drama has halved the fun.

It is also true that the evaluation of 'Life' is even more severe because 'Secret Forest' is so well received as a masterpiece. However, this artist has only finished his second work. Apart from the unfortunate points, this writer's unique choreography was enough to captivate the enthusiasts. Therefore, I hope that this artist will be able to supplement the limitations found in 'Life' and to release his next works in a more perfect way, while saving the power of his own development.

Congrats GSH-LNE shippers

 

GSH looks so hot in suit but looks so dreamy in casual clothes, he looks less intimidating

LIFE ended and my friendship with Monday ended too

[bedifferent]

@triplem Jin-woo is letting go of the burden and worries for his brother.  He believes that Seon-woo CAN be on his own and live his life. 

 

A very good ending.

 

Profiles befitting legendary gods.

“Life” Cast Bids Farewell With Final Thoughts

by esspee

JTBC’s “Life” has now come to an end. On September 11, the cast of the medical drama shared their thoughts on the conclusion of their drama.

Actor Cha Rae Hyung, who appeared as Dr. Bang, shared a photo of himself holding up the drama script.

He wrote, “I was happy that I was able to work with a good director, writer, staff members, and senior actors whom I respect. I was always excited and it felt like a dream going to the set when I thought about getting to see the senior actors performing. The filming was short but I gained a lot through ‘Life’ and learned a lot, so it was a meaningful time. Thank for giving me a good opportunity. I will use this as nourishment to grow more and show you a more developed appearance next time.”

Just watched with eng subs and it was really an amazing finale. I will miss this series, i kind of wished it was bit longer haha..i think 20-25 episodes could've explored a little more and given the background characters more time. But all and all i am satisfied! The final ost is so beautiful and perfect at the end. So touching seeing the brothers, No-Eul and Mr Gu smiling happily. It was really interesting reading the article comparing the two series FOS and Life. I think it is incredible what this writer have accomplished. This is her second series and good ratings on top that. All the actors also did an excellent performance. Hopefully there will be a reunion in the future when the writer pens her third drama haha 

[pompyavi]

Perfect ending. Couldn't have been better. It would have been a cliche if they would have shown that they had taken down Hwajeong. I mean is it a piece of cake to destroy a corporation like that who has connection everywhere. Also the first time I agree with what the chairman said. Till how long people can resist greed. Till how long they can hold their conscience. " I would like to see how sangkook would turn in 10-20 years". 
Glad that at last Jin woo got rid of his guilt. He can now live freely with his brother. No Eul realized that it wasn't only because of hospital, that she went to him. Seung Hyo even did despised the chairman, never betrayed him. Tried to save the hospital as well as himself. That's what we all do. We do our best to survive. Even the chairman can't throw him out. At last he was assigned the position of President in global plant. Lastly he came to meet her and usual she had a question for him. Ending scene was superb with both the brothers bonding with each other without any guilt and GSH and LNE taking a walk and laughing.

Jung Seung Hwan is a fan of the drama and was happy to contribute.  He is also the lyricist.  

 

Jung Seung Hwan – Take Care (잘 지내요) Life OST Part 6

 

Take care, again today
From some point, those words have gotten so easy to say
I didn’t want to reveal my feelings that I didn’t even know of
So now I’m used to hiding them.

 

My memory is always like an old puzzle
So I’m always looking for that one missing piece.
My heart is always like an unfinished letter
It always ends with words that aren’t enough.

 

Take care, again today
I said those words after hesitating a bit
I hoped that someone would quietly notice
My tears that welled up at the end.

 

My memory is always like a broken clock
Time always stays at one place, it can’t ever flow
My love is like a lost child somewhere
It’s always waiting for someone at the same place

Actually, I’m afraid
I’m always nervous
That this narrow heart
Will be noticed by someone
Through all the times that I’ve protected myself
I hide myself with the words, I’m alright, again today.

 

Words I really want to hear, words saying that it’ll be alright
Words, I really want to say, words saying, take care.
At the end of a long day, words I couldn’t finish saying
They get buried in my day, I’ll be alright again tomorrow.

Me too... But why did it show that she is resigning in the preview?

LNE is not directly involved in the conflict anyway and she stood strong even when Pres Gu fired her, then why now? 

I had full faith in the otp before so I hope they will end up together (at least a hint).

Go watch final ep chingu-ya. We've got a little scene from otp 

[philosophie]

Great ending

[ilmare]

Loved tis drama. Loved how it showed the workings of a hospital, so many scenes touched my heart, from Mr Gu learning medical terms n complications to neonate ICU to organ transplant. 

 

The cast n crew did a stellar performance for the drama. Made me a new fan of JSW. His portrayal of GSH is amazing, the lone warrior in this battle caught in between company n hospital. 1st OST Home is my fave, so GSH situation. Rooting for his loveline  n got my happy ending.

 

Really enjoyed reading all the posts by all of you here. Thanks again!

[ilovenico]

What would have been an even better ending - our stoic and loyal Heart Transplant doctor

getting his girl or at least got a job w our dear Mr Gu at the new company. That would have made it perfect.

 

My fav characters have to be Mr Gu, Ms Kang and our transplant doc. Hope to see Tae In Ho our transplant doc in Forest of Secrets sequel!

 

Love love CSW since I first saw him in Tazza.  Like all his work! 

[ilovenico]

Oh and I wanna add that I will miss Moon Sori’s smirks. She really slayed the role.

 

Lee Gyoo Hyun also surprised me with his acting prowess when he portrayed the two opposing personalities of the blasé imaginary brother as well as the pained childlike sibling.  Great acting. 

[nurlayla]

just finish watching both ep15 & 16 

i really really really love the sea scene...touch my heart  its beautiful, the scenery and of course the bonding. its beyond words 

so the Global Plant is still under Chairman Cho i guess...or no?

can someone do the math for Goo Sajang-nim age?
