Finally Danoh remembers Haru although her “soul less” self was experiencing various signs that the life she was living was an imitation of true happiness.

I swear those teachers in that school... it's like they're narrating the whole plot... Writer-nim, what are you doing!?

 

Extra Squad, I'm a mess... such a mess.... just the whole mirroring of scenes with Ha Ru introducing himself over and over again. Then standing at the trumpet flower bush. My heart, MY HEART... I can't take the pain.

Anyone noticed

Spoiler

Joo Da's bullies weren't in today's episode as well? They disappeared? Pls correct me if I'm wrong

 

[Jillia 194,008]

@dairymilks

I would've to check.

 

I'm still crying over here because:

Spoiler

so many parallels... I'm waiting for the gifsets to happen. But it's already killing me slowly... Remember when unaware!Ha Ru always told Dan Oh "Kyung left already"... unaware!Dan Oh is saying the same thing.

 

[dairymilks 2,443]

@Jillia I found a video compilation of the parallels, but I wish someone could make a full-length version

[dairymilks 2,443]

@Jillia But a few parallels (like the gif you attached) are still missing from the video, no? It would be great if MBC officially uploaded one.

 

I watched the raw again and cried......again lol I really need to sleep.

[Jillia 194,008]

@dairymilks

Yes some are missing... for example this:

Ahhh I forget ceremony god I thought manga finished and we will watch a new  EP(new manga or etc.) but you said I remember god really did Haru diseppear ?  now I am unhappy again 

 I have had headache for 2 days because of drama , Haru already diseppear a time again and again why? This poor lead man have cryed for 5 ep and again diseppeared in final ? 

[Jillia 194,008]

So I was wondering...what if...
 

Spoiler

 

it's not really about the manhwa ending but the writer simply giving up on "Secret" and slowly destroying it? Hence why the characters slowly disappear, e.g. Bo Tong, Ha Ru's name disappears but also the art class room is slowly erased. But then we get the graduation next episode, so I guess that's off the table. But the writer seems to erase anyone to do with Ha Ru. The room he was always in, aside from the library, his nametag and Bo Tong who first was mentioned when Ha Ru and Dan Oh talked about Extraordinary You.

 

 

[leeminhosny 29,016]

I hope Haru won't come back last minutes  again and again same scenes so won't he remember Daboh again? ahh really I'm speecless just this drama killed me , I'm so tired 

 

[Jillia 194,008]

Please let them be happy in the end... I beg you, writer-nim!

I had a lot to catch up on, wow, this episode made me an emotional wreck, watched it twice and with and without subs and cried both times. my baby haru, he had to suffer so much. My conclusion is this episode is equivalent to the last minute break scenes of the leads in kdramas, since they can't use a break up plot line with dan oh and haru, because they are star crossed lovers who will always love each other, they had to separate them like this. however i'm glad how this episode turned out. We got see Kim Seokwoo give an incredible performance as the heartbroken haru and i could tell rowoon did his best, you could see his efforts, his acting was perfect.  And I'm happy that 

Spoiler

dan oh has gotten her memories back. Let's hope for a happy ending for danharu, they deserve it after going through so much.

 I hope we get a lot of rowoon scenes in the next episode too, can't wait till tomorrow,

[Latte_Anyday 13,850]

Aww~my heart aches for both Do Hwa & Kyung... in particular for Kyung my poor poor babies~

So Soo Hyang was aware this entire time..?? She was playing along as was Dried Squid to avoid the consequences which probably was the smartest choice.. 

[-Love Blossom- 1,913]

 Even though the whole episode was sad this was the scene which made me teary eyed especially when Dan Oh says "Dan Oh of Trumpet Flower forgives you" and Baek Kyung gave that big smile of relief. It felt like a huge burden was removed off from his shoulder and he could finally breath now. He was extremely thankful to her for forgiving him. I could really feel his emotions. Lee Jae Wook is no doubt an amazing actor. I also hate Baek Kyung a lot but I couldn't hate him in this episode. That boy was genuinely smiling on those date stages. I was wondering how different things would have been if he had appreciated Dan Oh a little earlier. Today he was not even confident like always when he was arguing with Haru and whenever he was with Dan Oh he looked guilty. Of course none of this justify his past mistakes but I didn't dislike him today. Seems like we won't get much Baek Kyung tomorrow.

 

 

Did Dan Oh and Baek Kyung became the new leads of Secret. They had more scenes than Nam Joo and Joo Da  I can't blame Joo Da for not choosing Dowha. Even though Dowha is an ideal man it is not easy to be with him especially now when the story is ending. On top of that her life is already pitiful so it's natural for her to want happy ending. Nam Joo is not a perfect man but doesn't seem bad too. He is a typical tsundra guy so yeah he is soft inside But still poor Dowha 

 

I thought we will get another kiss scene when she remembered everything and I was thinking on my mind that why their kiss scenes are always so sad. But it didn't happen. I don't know whether I am sad or happy. Maybe it's better a happy kiss scene is needed. I hope the writer doesn't betray us. Since they are high school students one is enough. NOOO Two is compulsory 

 

I think it was @Jillia who made the prediction that the tree will have something to do with their reunion. So congrats.  

[Jillia 194,008]

So I'm gonna say this:

Spoiler

 

I enjoyed the episode very much. It was painful and difficult to watch but I rather have a drama and episode which moves me than something that I don't care about. The editing was weirdly better than it was in the last week's episode. I've seen a lot worse for a drama which has to film the last scene doing live shooting. I can only imagine the editor being awake all night to edit the last episode. Let's hope he gets some days worth of sleep afterwards.

 

And after watching the preview yesterday I honestly was worried this would be a Kyung/Dan Oh centric episode. And it certainly had exactly the scenes in it we expected from the preview, so basically let's show the viewer what they barely care about and show the real deal in the episode itself.

 

In the end it was actually the most perfect DanHaRu episode. Painful but thoughtful as well. Completely showing that no matter what the writer has planned for them, if he/she goes against them or not they will find a way to meet and remember again. The parallel scenes were so amazing. I was honestly sobbing and I'm not kidding. I was crying throughout the episode. Ha Ru not giving up while Dan Oh is confused most of the time. And then in the end getting back her memories, not only from "Secret" but "Trumpet Creeper" as well. Like it's what I wished for because she was basically the only one not knowing for sure what was going on.

 

Kyung certainly played a part in the DanHaRu reunion, it was his "redemption" part so to speak. I will buy it in how they're selling it but I will say though - and some might disagree - I thought of it as a weak redemption arc (not the worst but certainly not the most deserving). Big part is that I don't see it as character development when a terrible person stops for one episode not to drag around the object of his desire or stops telling her her feelings don't matter. 1 1/2 episode isn't enough to make Kyung deserving of redemption. I think to make me really feel for him they should've started his redemption around episode 10 or 11 ago. Maybe then I would care enough for him. Lee Jae Wook however really did a good job again. Like give that man a role in a cute romcom and make me see him as the cute guy he seems to be behind the scenes.

 

Anyways, overall I thought it was a good episode which has me worried though what's gonna happen tomorrow. Why does "Secret" disappear? Because the manhwa ends? Does this really mean we will get a new manhwa? Do Dan Oh and Ha Ru need to sit through the writer's unoriginal trope-y writing? Will Sae Mi finally stop being a bully on stage? Will Do Hwa finally get the girl (Boy, there is a line in this thread waiting for you )?  Can we have Jinmichae and Soo Hyang back in a sageuk manhwa, I feel like they belong there? Will Nam Joo stop being the cheesy male lead? And will Kyung get a better family in a different manhwa?

 

Writer-nim, you better make it all good or else:

 

 

[Harry97 4,809]

I loved episode 15 a lot. I wouldn't say it was sad but it was beautifully sad. I was tearing up during the whole danharu conversation under the tree. They really love each other a lot so please writer-nim give us a happy last episode not just last 5min reunion. We deserve it. DanHaru deserve it. Let's not be cruel like secret writer okay? 

Also Dan oh Baek Kyung conversation moved me a lot especially when Dan Oh said I hope you find the real Baek Kyung. I think he needed to hear that after all even he has been through his own share of pain and sadness. As for his redemption like @Jillia mentioned wish they started it few episodes earlier than the second last episode. I wouldn't say his past behavior and actions can be forgiven based on his part in DanHaru reunion but I know I won't feel disgusted by him like I felt before. So good luck to secret Kyung hope you are given a better character in your next manwha by the writer. 

 

Can't believe it's the last episode tomorrow. Finally the Extraordinary you journey will come to an end tomorrow. Hope they end it well because this is definitely the drama I would love to rewatch in future because I'm so attached to the storyline and characters especially DanHaru

[Jillia 194,008]

I have to say though I feel unsure about Joo Da's decision. I mean it's somewhat fair towards Do Hwa... but is it fair to herself as well? I'm really unsure. Also, she disliked Nam Joo but one secret is out and she just decides to be with him. I don't know... I don't know.
