dangermousieI needed some cheering up so I rewatched the last episode of last year's hit Autumn Concerto.
It always gives me such fuzzies. I adore this drama beyond 'to bits.' AC is as if Mars got crossed with My Lucky Star. He is a rich, violence-prone, messed-up boy who's given up on himself and does not believe in love either. She is soft-spoken, strong as steel, dirt poor abuse victim who has never had anyone to protect her. Together they are a match made in drama heaven. Only - she has to leave him in the worst possible way to save him and when they meet again 6 years later, he is happy, functional, engaged to be married, and does not remember her at all. And she - she has a little boy about 5+ years old. You do the math.
I confess I loved the first half, pre-time jump, better - it hit every single one of my kinks so precisely it hurt. Once we have the inevitable separation and the time jump, I still loved it, but both of them were more grown-up and better adjusted and while a part of me adored how functional and awesome they both turned out to be (even if not together - man, the shippy angst was GLORIOUS), I sort of missed the co-dependent screw-ups.
And every time I think of this ending I get pure shots of glee through my body. I mean, who thought the drama with (a) star-crossed lovers; (b) brain cancer; (c) abuse; (d) children with serious illness; (e) homicidal and/or evil parental figures would end up well, let alone so wonderfully well.
I mean. I repeat. HE HAD BRAIN CANCER AND THIS DRAMA HAD A HAPPY ENDING. !!!!! TAKE THAT, KOREA!!!!
Have a shippy MV:
And another one just for pre time-jump stuff.
