Pure 19 ends in Korea

[Soju]

Friday evening was the final (#167) epidode of Pure 19 (Pure in Heart). I thought the end was quite natural, with no real big surprises -- no last-minute plot twists like the one that marred the end of Bizarre Bunch.

It will be followed by "As Big as Heaven and Earth" (or whatever KBS America will call it), starring Park Hae-jin (from "Chil Sisters") and Han Hyo-ju.

I see a few familiar faces, but not that many.. There's lots of new characters it seems, lots of young people.. I tried looking it up on KoreanWiz's site for a show page, but nothing's there. Do you know what the show is about?

Hey, it's Yeon Hanam! YAY! He's acquired quite a little fan club among female "Chill Sis" watchers here on the board.

[Soju]

All I know is it's a love story; she's from a small, happy family, he's from a larger, unhappy family. He is also adopted, which, we all know, is a big issue in dramas these days.

Who's the rich one in the story?

Neither of these two seem to be rich. There is a third family, which is rich, though.

I watched the first three eps, and without subs, I have no clue as to what's going on

OMG I LOVE PARK HAE JIN!!! (yeon hanam)...I DIDN"T KNOW HE WAS IN THIS ONE!!!

Well here it's Groundhog Day. If he sees his shadow we have 6 more weeks of Pure In Heart. If he doesn't see his shadow, it's only a month and a half 'til it ends.

LOL!

I'm seriously ready for the new show. I think I've been ready for the past 50 episodes because it seems like PIH is just dragging itself out, which is completely unnecessary. The only interesting thing happening right now, IMO, is where Hye-suk keeps going. Which will be answered probably in tonight's episode, according to the previews.

I've been thinking that maybe she isn't quite divorced from her previous husband yet. So she can't register the marriage to Grandpa until the other paperwork is done. Just a guess.

[BAE]

That would make a lot of sense. Isn't that guy in jail though? So, that would take longer, yes. But from what I gathered from the previews, Yunjeong saw Eomjiossa with another man.

[soapygrams]

;D She may have been talking to another male but does that have to mean an affair? I think the average Korean is intelligent enough to know that a male and female can talk to each other, even have coffee/tea together without it being considered scandolous or an affair. Just MO .. ;D

"I'm seriously ready for the new show. I think I've been ready for the past 50 episodes" - Bae, you've gotten right to the heart of the matter. If we could have deleted all the "I'm sorries,","Oh Boys" and crying, we could have cut 30 episodes right there. well, a bit of an exageration perhaps. Bring on a new drama!

Last week or whenever it was, Yunhu and Gukhwa are on the beach at sunset. He gives her his ring, and she hugs him. (twice even) They end the episode with a close up of Gukhwa who has a serene happy (relieved) look on her face.

They could have scrolled "Thank you for watching Pure In Heart" and I would have been just fine with it.

Of course then we would have missed Yunjeong asking Bokgu if he was sleeping…
