---------------------------------------------------------

Ji Hyun wakes up. Kang gets the news upon his return to Korea from Ji Hyun's mom. Ji Hyun doesn't remember anything from the past 49 days. She asks for In Jung and Min Ho. She's told In Jung is sick and Min Ho is away on business.

Yi Kyung goes back home. Min Ho learns at work that Ji Hyun woke up. Kang pays Yi Kyung a visit and informs her that Ji Hyun woke up. He attempts to hire her to work at HEAVEN but she turns down the offer. She returns Ji Hyun's bracelet, which was a gift from Kang's mom.

A complaint is filed against Min Ho. An investigation is launched and he has to go in for questioning. In Jung goes to see Min Ho at his apartment. He tells her to go away. She tells him she wanted to say goodbye before leaving Seoul. She's headed to Jinan.

Kang tries to spend time with Ji Hyun but their relationship is back to being awkward. Ji Hyun's mom and Seo Woo force In Jung to go see Ji Hyun. They only speak briefly before Ji Hyun says she's tired and wants to rest.

Yi Kyung meets up with Yi Soo. He takes her to the spot where he died. He explains that despite what she might have thought was going on, he had bought a ring and planned to propose. He then takes her to an amusement park. He had promised to take her to one for her birthday. While Yi Kyung is grocery shopping, Yi Soo fixes up her room. The next morning Yi Kyung and Yi Soo go for a walk. Before bidding her farewell, Yi Soo tells Yi Kyung to move on with her life, meet someone new and be happy.

Min Ho is arrested. He's allowed to spend a moment with his mom before being taken into custody. He lies during questioning to protect In Jung.

Yi Kyung visits Ji Hyun at the hospital. Ji Hyun recognizes her. Yi Kyung asks Ji Hyun why she's pretending not to remember Kang, if she remembers her. Ji Hyun tells Yi Kyung it's because she's going to die soon.

---------------------------------------------------------

I'm glad that Yi Soo told Yi Kyung to move on with her life and be happy. I just felt his message revolved too much around Yi Kyung finding happiness with someone new. I think it would have been better for Yi Soo to tell Yi Kyung to pursue a career with her hotel management degree and then, when she is ready, to meet someone new. We're down to the final episode.

ROFL. You're such an enlightened man, knov1. But I agree, he should have told Yikyung to move on with her life by making one for herself, not depending on someone else. I think she will, I think that's why she visited Jihyun in the hospital, after recalling Jihyun's "ghostly" last words to her.

I have to say, I was surprised that the goodbye between Yisoo and Yikyung did not make me cry at all, maybe because I was expecting it. What I WAS surprised by was how very sorry I felt for Minho when his mother suddenly snapped into reality and asked him all about his life, praising him and obviously making him feel like a complete heel. I cried my eyes out, when I never cared much for him before. I think that's why he's protecting Injung now, a little bit of late refom on his part.

I did suspect that Jihyun remembered something when she told Injung about dreaming about the shoes, and then dismissed her. I mean, why would she say such a thing (and nothing else), unless she knew something? Then I thought perhaps she just remembered seeing Injung and Minho in the car before the accident.

And she's going to die soon! Now what? Who the heck told her that? Nobody I remember! I hope she's just got some weird idea that won't pan out, but who knows...oh, wait, we will! Tomorrow!

Amazing! Just when I thought it was going to all work out when the tears appeared- another twist! I was thinking that maybe Jihyun remembered things and was going to die because she made a deal with Yi Soo-didn't he say that she could give up her last days so that she could spend time with Kang? Maybe this was a way for her to spend time with her parents and with Kiyung and Kang before her 49 days ended-- there was really no show of where the tears came from- was there? I am disappointed, I was hoping for a differnt ending, but you never know, things just keep on changing.....
On a totally differnt note-- Any commnets on the music in this drama?

[Knov1]

Nice OST. Not quite on the same level as the Secret Garden or New Tales of Gisaeng OST's but still good.

bird, the two final tears came from Seowoo, who {finally!} cried over Jihyun's dying form with J-H's mom, and Yikyung, who cried over the note and gifts that J-H left for her.

I did like the music, except, as I said, for the one song that was so similar to the main love theme in He's Beautiful.

That's right, now I remember the tears-- I guess since they didn't show them "poping" into the necklace, I didn't count them as "real" tears! Now... only to find time to watch the last episode-- I really want to see how it all ends, but I am going to miss this drama.....
