However, grandpa says that he has a condition and he’ll approve the marriage. He tells SH to give up HAD.

SH is troubled and grandpa ridicules that she can’t married someone inferior to her. DG asks grandpa to stop and takes SH out of the room.

In the car, SH is worried that the clan elders will be mad, and drive her out. SH says she’ll make her way back to HAD, and then she realises that there is a way to get grandpa to approve. She goes to the factory and teaches DG the secret of making mandu the HAD way. Up to now, DG and factory cant find a way to make the exact mandu that his grandfather wants. SH finds the problem was with the dumpling skin.

DG is pleased that they have found the problem. SH says tto DG that she has thought about the situation before, if she would give up HAD for the man she loves. DG however says that she musn’t have to give it up, he’ll not want SH to be in a difficult position. And asks her to trust him.
DG goes to grandpa with the mandu, Grandpa is shock that this time they succeeded, but he still insists that SJ still abides by his wishes. DG promises grandpa that he’ll do anything, but asks grandpa not to take away HAD. Grandpa says it’s for DG good, as he needs someone to be a stable inner support at home, rather than make him run back and forth. DG tells grandpa to give the company to Chan min. Grandpa is furious that he gives up the company for a woman, and then says that it’s impossible for them to get married. DG decides to leave home, and goes to HAD to look for SH. DG tells SH that the mandus made grandpa very happy, but didn’t tell her that grandpa hasn’t consented.

Hwa Ran receives flowers, and a little boy brings a parcel for her. “ Loving you, just as you are, every minute” She opens a box, of donuts that reminds her of her childhood. She once offered donuts to a little boy (Jun Yeong). She’s moved to tears.

She tells him that grandpa still opposes, and asks him to go back and get approval before he comes back. He objects, saying that it may take 1-2 years, or longer. SH doesn’t want them to have a bad start, she would rather give up HAD. DG firmly says no, as she has always protected it. SH feels that although she gives up HAD, doesn’t mean that she gives up her family. HAD is a precious place to her, but she wants to live happily with ther person she loves. “go and don’t come back till you get grandpa’s permission” SH says and leave.

Hal Mae hears the whole account and is quite furious that President makes things hard. She also hears SH crying in the middle of the night. Hal Mae leaves for Seoul and goes and scold the President.

Captain Sakurada and Mikami-sang(teacher) end up together in a bowling alley. Captain Sakurada asks her to bet that if he gets strike, that she has to marry him. She agrees, but the result was all pins fell but 1.
Yoko and Shota (the engineer) tell each other that they admired each other. They were about to go for Ramen, when Yayoi (Yoko's good friend) confesses that she likes Shota. Yoko overhears it, and walks away. Although Yoko is glad that her friend has finally gain the courage to tell Shota, she realises that she also has feelings for him.

On to the last episode..

Yoko wakes up, and realises that it's the last day for the trainees . As she rushes off to school, Shota comes up to her and asks her why she didn't turn up for ramen. She mutters some excuse and says that she is in a rush. Shota offers to ride together on his bike, but she takes over the bike and rides off as Shota looks at her, puzzled.

When she arrives at the school, Yayoi greets her very loudly and enthusaistically. Yoko remarks that she's a little over the top, and the other colleagues reply that something good must have happen, probably love.

Mikami-san appears, as she's assigned as the instructor onboard.Yoko and Yayoi get cold feet. and Yoko feels that Mikami will be watching her closely on this last day. The flight attendants starts welcoming the guests onboard, but notice a weird looking man, with afro hair. He seems to be looking around all the time. Yoko feels that he's very suspicious, but Mikami tells her to act calmly. While the flight attendants serve food and drinks, the weird guy looks at different air hostess and mumbles "Miss May" "Miss April".

Yoko confronts the weird man, and realises that he is Yayoi's father in disguise. He doesn't want his daughter to know he's onboard, so Yayoi doesn't tell the rest his identity, but instead tells him to be lowkey. Later, Yayoi's father gets into an argument with another passenger, and creates a scene. Yayoi recognises him when his wig was pulled off and runs away embarassingly.

Shota gets a visitor, Tsutsumi (pilot trainee, who once was very proud) and they become good friends.

Back to the airplane, Yoko finds out that someone has fainted in the bathroom. She freezes for a while. She recovers, and gets Yayoi to make a distress call. Yoko discovers that the passenger shows no breathing and no response, and starts chest compression. The chief cabin attendant announces that they need help, but there are no doctors/nurses on board. They use the AED machine to try to revive the patient (the trainees in earlier episodes have always prepared for this emergency), but fail in the first attempt. The other passengers look on, while they try again. After attempting again, the patient recovers, and slowly revives. The passengers then claps in approval.

Back on land, all the trainees assemble at the cafeteria. Everybody is quite excited to move on to official cabin attendant status. But, Yoko is unsure if she can carry forward, as she was terrified when she had to administer first aid on the passenger. Her classmates also starts to feel unsure and terrified. Realizing she made everybody gloomy, she tries to cheer everybody up. Yayoi, however, walks out of the room.

Yoko looks for Yayoi, asks if she's alright. Yayoi replies that she got dumped by Shota. Yayoi starts crying.(flashback: Shota: I'm sorry) .After a while, Yayoi stops crying. and starts complaining about her father embarassing her.

When Yayoi reaches home, she questions her father why he went onboard. Her father says that it seems like yesterday she was still a kid. Yayoi is pleased as she senses that her father is proud of her,

All the trainees are back in the classroom, and Yoko bursts into the room, late as usual. Mikami walks in with chief Dazai with the results. Chief Dazai announces "All of you passed" And the classroom goes wild!!! Later, one by one they receive their diploma and remove their trainees badges. Each trainee thanks their teacher Mikami, and recall their lessons. Mikami sees all the badges, and feels so proud and happy.

Mikami later sees Yoko around the cabin set where they practiced. Yoko comments that if an emergency happens again, she'll be alone to handle it. Mikami tells her that she'll never be alone, as she has colleagues that will help her. Mikami also says that she actually like the proud and brazen girl before, and asks her not to forget the good qualities.

Yoko meets Shota at the basketball court, and tells him that she strives to be the world's best cabin attendant. Shota teases her. She tells him if something happens in years to come, she ask him to back her up. He nods to say yes.

At the graduation party, captain sakurada asks mikami for one more try at bowling. Mikami smiles and approves.
And suddenly all the trainees disappear. Yoko appears and announces they want to go away with a bang. She reveals a band with all the trainees in it, and they play away. Mikami shakes her head "I can't believe it". But everyone starts dancing away..

Last part: Someone with messy appearance runs past Yoko asking where the training centre is and that she's late. This reminds her of her first day as a trainee.. and in the end she says :" Gabare-yo!! "

E: Funny ending.

My thoughts: I really like this series as it gives so much insight on the aviation industry. I enjoy the cabin attendants training, and their interaction with the pilots, and the engineers. It's so cool, that when i first watch this drama, i wanted to sneak into the airport and see it for myself. Very enjoyable and it had so many funny and interesting characters to keep you entertain for all the episodes!! The only setback i thought was that Shota was quite sedate in his acting, and a little wooden..

Kdrama : Boys Before Flowers/ Kgotboda Namja Ending



Wow..this series has really come to an end. I think I have never seen such a huge following for any other dramas in these few years. But, it does benefit from the past versions, as they had already establish a huge fan base.

The last 2 episodes of this version however, was really jam packed with storylines. So far, it has been revealed that Jun Pyo's mother has had her invalid husband (bedridden, unconscious) hidden even from her children, thus rendering her a wicked mother. Ji Hoo also confessed his love to Jan Di, and even giving her the heirloom, a ring. Jan Di however, rejected him, stating that she still loves Jun Pyo. And then, Jun Pyo saves Ji Hoo from a speeding car (a lunatic plotting revenge against Shinhwa group, who mistook Ji Hoo as the heir). At the hospital, where Jun Pyo receovers, but has selective amnesia, and can't remember Jan Di. Meanwhile, Jun Pyo befriends another patient, Jang Yu Mi, and mistakes her for the girl he has forgotten.

We have also a bit of Ga Eul-Yi Jung story, whereby Yi Jung wanted to tell her something, but she goes ahead saying that she understands his feelings, and will not look for him anymore.

Ok, here is the ending, the last episode,

It starts off with Jan Di delivering a lunch box to Goo Jun Pyo while he is sleeping. She stares at him and then says " Goo Jun Pyo will remember Jan Di" as if saying a spell. After she leaves, Yu Mi comes in to see Jun Pyo. When she opens the lunch box, Jun Pyo tries the egg roll, and asks if she was the one who prepared it. She mumbles a yes, and say that she will make it again. Then, Jun Pyo concludes that she's the one that he has forgotten, the very important person.

At the restaurant, Yi Jung and Woo Bin delivers the news that Jun Pyo is discharged. Jan Di rushes off to see Jun Pyo. And Woo Bin leaves. But, Yi Jung stays back, saying that he has something to say to Ga Eul.

Yi Jung and Ga Eul talks in front of a furnace. Yi Jung says that he will start with the bad news first, as usual. He's going to leave the country, to sweden, for 4-5 years. Ga Eul replies that he will come back as an amazing potter, so it's good news. But, what's the good news then? Yi Jung says that when he returns, the first person he will look for is Ga Eul, that is if she hasn't found her soulmate yet. He looks a bit embarassed, but Ga Eul is smiling.

Jan Di bursts into Jun Pyo room, but catches sight of Jun Puo and Yu Mi. Jun Pyo remarks that Ji Hoo isn't here, and does Ji Hoo know that she's visiting. Jan Di gets angry, but Yu Mi invites her to have tea with them. When Jan Di sees them showing affection to each other, she gets angry and leaves. This time Jun Pyo asks her not to come back. Yu Mi then follows Jan Di out, and advises not to come back for the time being, and she'll help Jun Pyo remember Jan Di. Jan Di then overhears Jun Pyo asking Yu Mi to make the lunch box again.

She meets Ji Hoo on the way out of the house, but he doesn't want her to give up. So, he drags her to see Jun Pyo again, but they see Yu Mi leaning on Jun Pyo asleep.
Jan Di leaves the room, and when Ji Hoo catches up with her, Jan Di says that it's all over. Ji Hoo comforts her, and hugs her.

Yu Mi brings an exact copy of the lunch box, but after one taste, Jun Pyo says that this isn't the taste that he remembers. Yu Mi says she'll make it again. Jun Pyo then remarks that the girl (Jan Di ) bothers him, when she gave him a look, he feels uneasy. Yu Mi is upset and complaints that all Jun Pyo friends reject her, but she stays on for Jun Pyo sake, and cries. Jun Pyo feels bad.

Next, F3 meets Jan Di and shows an invitation of Jun Pyo and Yu Mi to a poolside party.
All of them are there at the party. Yu Mi then reports to Jan Di that Jun Pyo doesn't remember her and that she's sorry to her, as she has fallen in love with Jun Pyo, and he feels the same way. Yu Mi also says that she and him has an important announcement to make.

Yu Mi announces with Jun Pyo by her side, that both of them will study abroad the next month. F3 walks away, Ji Hoo takes Jan Di away, and leaves her by the poolside to get her a drink.
Jun Pyo walks by, and Jan Di asks if he remembers the necklace he gave her. No, he says. Jan Di asks him, if he can swim. Jun Pyo replies, no, he's terrified of the water. Jan Di then informs him, that he learnt how to swim because of his girlfriend, and continue describing him.
Then, she walks backwards, and falls backward into the water. She sinks, and stays under the water, while everyone runs towards Jun Pyo. Ji Hoo stops everyone from taking action and waits for Jun Pyo as he starts having flashbacks.
"Jan Di" he shouts, and jumps into the water to save her. She still doesn't gain consciousness and he gives her mouth to mouth. She opens her eyes, and asks if he remembers.
JP: " I'll kill you, if you scare me again" and later hugs her while Jan Di smiles.
Ji Hoo looks on blankly, and Yu MI leaves.

One night, Jun Pyo asks her to come out, and they talk about her going to medical school. Then, Jun Pyo tells her something, but Jan Di can't hear it because a motorbike passes by.

At the high school graduation, F3 waits for Jan Di. She arrives later and F3 request to dance with her. After that, f3 wonder where Jun Pyo is. Jan Di remembers that Jun Pyo said something before, and she guess that he'll be at Namsan Tower (just like their first date). She runs over there, and Jun Pyo remarks that she's late again.

He claps. and the tower lights up, and the whole area has a spectacular light display. Next, he drags her to the coffee machine, and buys her coffee (exactly like the first date) He then informs her that he has booked the whole place, and wants to show her the words he crave in one of the carriages. 'First Night together- Jun Pyo loves Jan Di' and says that she can't get married now. She only can get married to him.

Jun Pyo then asks Jan Di to marry him, because he has to go to America. He wants to try his hardest and save the company his way. He'll be there for 4 years.
JP: Come with me.
JD: I can't. I want to try my hardest to do what i want and acheive my hopes here.
So, go and come back. If you come back after 4 years and still are a cool guy, I'll think
about it again.

Jun Pyo accepts it, and says that if he loses her, he'll regret it. The carriage starts to move, and they kiss.

4 years later, Jun Pyo gets interviewed on tv, as he has been featured in 3 international magazines as a successful director. His Dad and Mum watches him in front of the TV, and his mother has a smile of approval. After a question on his personal life, he agrees that there's someone special in his life. His Sister watches him on tv too, from the managing director's seat (her mum's seat)

(I love this part)
Yi Jung emerges from the airport, and goes straight to a kids centre. He looks in and sees Ga Eul is surrounded by little kids, and she happily teaching kids to shape clay. He smiles at her, and says"you'll still using too much strength"
Kid 1: who are you? Are you our teacher's boyfriend?
Kid 2: Uncle, did you come from overseas?
YJ: Oh, how did you know?
Kid 2: From Sweden?
My teacher says that her boyfriends is in sweden.
GE: Oh, you can't tell him... and she smiles embarassingly and Yi Jung gives her a meaningful look.

Jan Di and Ji Hoo volunteers at a makeshift hospital. And later she talks to Ji Hoo. She says that Ji Hoo is already in the graduating class, and that she has tried 3 times, but still hasn't pass. Ji Hoo says that he can redo it. But, Jan Di replies that the reason he studied to be a doctor to take over grandpa's clinic. Ji Hoo remarks that that's not the only reason.

Later, a helicopter flies by, and Jun Pyo's voice is heard asking Jan Di to go to the beachside.
Jun Pyo tells Jan Di that he misses her and he's back to take care of her. Jan Di laughs and say that she promised to reconsider years ago, and not for him to take care of her.
Jun Pyo then kneels down, and shows her the rings, and asks Jan Di to marry him.
"I object to that" F3 appears and announces that.
F3 walks toward Jun Pyo and Jan Di, and all of them stand in a line, staring out at the sea, smiling.

R: Happy Ending

A little of what i think: Although I enjoy this drama a lot, I think they dragged the triangle love a bit too long. i was surprised i rooted for Ji Hoo and Jandi in this version, as opposed to Jun Pyo- Jan Di in other versions. I think it's because though I know that Jun Pyo really did like Jan Di from his heart, I didn't see that he supported her through bad times. Ji Hoo was always there.. and though he's quite cold at times (to other people), but he would always back Jan Di up. AND, Jan Di seems to understand him too.
The best part of this whole series is definitely Yi Jung and Ga Eul, they have both grown a lot in characters and i just like how they ended with both of them giving each other a chance.
