I think I need to be that bright sun just for dead people. Starts from their last scene when she says I am leaving. The best part of all – though it was always grounded in reality, it never once stopped us from dreaming. In such a short time, it managed to live up to all our expectations and more. It was the strong foundation of humor, romance, and potential. What set it apart wasn’t just the tinge of horror now and then. It may have been another drama on a long list of great ones, but this show was a little different. Even though my finale closing post is coming up tomorrow, I just wanted to say what Master’s Sun has meant to me over the past months. They have shown us quite a few in the last two episodes, but I bet we are in for some more tonight. Not just to reminisce about how far the characters have come or how much they have changed, but for us to note how much we have come to love right along with them. That is why this improved decisive Joong Won earned the right to go after her and get her back.Įvery time a drama comes to a close, they come up with moments of reflection to show flashback scenes of what happened over the course of the show. Now that he has finally opened his eyes and sees her for more than what she means to him, he can appreciate her better. Gong Sil wasn’t just the light in the dark – she was the warmth Joong Won craved from the cold. Each of them knew what loneliness was and never wanted to go back to that. Quite possibly that is the key to why the goat and wolf tried to stay together for so long. Joong Won offered to be her shelter not knowing all this time she had been sheltering him from the cold world he made for himself. After coming so far, his arms would feel too empty, but most of all – his life would have no meaning. With all the love he has felt in his heart, he just doesn’t want to go back to the cold calculating man that he was. Maybe that’s what has been driving him to hold onto her so much physically- always clinging and holding on. With every glance, what has been registering on his face these days is sheer desperation at the thought of her slipping away from him and losing her. All he sees now is warmth, generous spirit, giving heart, unique tendencies, and the only one he could ever love. For a very long time now, with each encounter and interaction, Joong Won has come to appreciate her quirkiness. How much do you want to bet that while he was running to get her back, all these thoughts went through his head. Unless his feet were rooted in sheer stupidity, I just knew he wouldn’t let her go so easily. It all came down to his gut instinct and the flood of loneliness and emptiness that swept over him for Joong Won to come to his senses. It’s like with every thought of her, he falls in love all over again.
He is the only one who has said he loves her, but she never said it to him yet. Not cuz his love is stronger, but since he has voiced his feelings for her more often -it’s more acute. If they were to part, during all that time, I think he will miss her more than him. Most of the time the weight of his feelings for her seemed stronger than Gong Sil’s so she was always in the air while he looked up at her and tonight was no different. I always thought this relationship was balanced like a seesaw. How much easier does he think it will get once they have confirmed their feelings for each other all over again in the plain light of day.
Even with just the hand holding for the first time as two people who like each other, he had a problem letting go. What he has yet to figure out is starting something can make it that much harder to end it too.
Joong Won had a point about how it’s unfair for them to talk about ending it when they never really started. Sometimes even holding on once is enough to never want to let go.
