Ending (Eps. 3)

[Ducky]

Does anyone know how this episode was supposed to end?

There was a something cut out and it never went to the closing credits....just that community bulletin board.

I'm hoping tomorrow's rebroadcast shows what we missed but I bet it ended when those 2 guys that were fishing ran up to KyungSook (if I butchered her name I apologize ) and told her that they found a body in the river and it looked like her step mom. I do hate when the picture cuts out like that and then suddenly we're into a million commercials and we never see the part we missed. Hopefully the beginning of the next episode will show those last few minutes too.

I'm with Happy Camper on that one, it's definitely the stepmom in the river; they spent the last quarter of the show asking her whereabouts. In the "scenes from the next episode" sequence at the end of ep. 2, one of the guys asks Kyungsook(?) what the stepmother was wearing and it sure looked like the same red top from the day of the singing contest.

Stepmom... it couldn't have happened to anyone more deserving. But how did she end up in the river? I hope that dad didn't have anything to do with it... when he spoke about going away and all.

Love that little girl... I'd like to scoop her up and take our for ice cream. The little bully kid... I'm not sold on him ... yet.

My take on the ending is slightly different. I hope I am wrong. It is evil stepmom in the river, but she was killed by her lover so that she wouldn't cause trouble in his election. The father, her husband, will be blamed for the murder and put in jail. The children will then be on their own. I can't wait till next week, this is getting interesting. The little girl is absolutely adorable, I want to take her home with me.

From the sound of it, I think you Chicago fans DID get to see Episode #3 to the very end (where Kyung-sook asks what color dress the dead woman was wearing). That’s also exactly the point where Episode #4 will begin.

I guess your Chicago station edits K-dramas so ruthlessly that even when they show the whole thing, everybody just assumes they did an edit if they jump too quickly to a commercial!

Mikey, they didn't actually show that part where she asks what the corpse was wearing; we saw that part in the previews for ep 3 that came at the end of ep 2. What we saw was the guys running up to her and saying something like, "There's a corpse in the river! I think it's your stepmom!" and then--CUTOFF and commercial. There was no buffer, let alone an end to the scene or ending credits.

Hasn't this happened before recently? I think it happened on "Bizarre Bunch," if not "Golden Apple," too.

Wait, ALL of that happened at the end of episode 3? Or are you just laying out the scenario for something else?

[Lucy]

I think he's just guessing, based on our seeming agreement that the corpse is the stepmom.

[Ducky]

They cut the end even shorter in the re-run...but at least this time they showed the "see you next time..."

[mikey]

Okay then, from the sound of it, I guess Chicago fans only missed out on about the last 10 seconds or so of Episode #3.

Not a big deal, I suppose, but it sure makes KBC look clumsy. After all, what’s the issue with letting it run a mere 10 seconds longer, so that the viewers can enjoy a clean, obvious conclusion to that night’s episode? Sheesh!

I was finally able to watch ep 2, with the VOD playing at the same time, and it seems there was nothing cut out of it Could this be the start of a trend?

[CaptainVideo]

Hey everyone, don't forget the scene when the sisters are bathing in the river and Kuengshil has come over to the fire to warm up after her bath. By the way, would it have killed someone to add some subtitles when the kids sing songs? I'll just bet that Kuengshil's song was adorable, but I digress. It's at this point that Mr. Park's big black car shines it's lights on the kids which starts them speculating as to why the car would be there at this time of night, but Mr. Park's driver is alone in the car.

I just watched it on VOD and it was only 10 - 20 seconds cut off the end of the show, but they also cut the previews for next week...(Now it's 2AM and I got that song in my head again...ggoom ggoo neun casabianca...)
