dangermousie | East of Eden - is there some sort of scriptwriter mental illness going around?

I have seldom seen so many pissed-off people in one place as there are currently in the East of Eden soompi thread (not since Powerful Opponents days - grrrr, PO was such a perfect drama with an ending that made no sense). And I can see why! They killed Dong Chul off!!! WTF? Saving Dong Wook. In case we didn't realize already how much he loved his little (non-blood) brother - as if all the other 5,891 times he's sacrificed anything and everything for him wasn't proof? Also, he's ended up giving up so much and suffering and everything just to die at the end? WTF! And way to go, poor Grace is now a widow twice? Not to mention all her family is dead. Yay - what a lovely fate for someone with a history of depression and suicide attempts. Party time. Do not even get me started on Ji Hyun forgiving her rapist husband and loving him back. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I shall solace myself with the pretty shippy.
