“Remarriage & Desires” episode 8 review

That was…. An ending….

I am surprised they pushed towards a happy ending this much despite what the drama has been all about throughout its run. It slightly cheapens the message they’ve been trying to send and the atmosphere they’ve created with this drama.

I would have loved if she ended up marrying Cha Seok-Jin as promised and if a second season is in order, it would have been great to explore that marriage and how it would fall apart because she’s fulfilling an obligation.

I never really felt that Seo Hye-Seung had feelings for Lee Hyung-Ju, it appeared he was mesmerized with her based on the sheer fact that she subverted his expectations at first, but her character didn’t show much of an interest in him until later on in the series. It caught me slightly off guard because I didn’t understand how and when she fell for him. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a catch but she was all about getting revenge and being fixated on that part so it seemed a bit odd she eventually ended up falling for him.

Also, the entire marriage scene was straight out of a cheesy 90s rom-com. It doesn’t fit the overall vibe of the drama. The screenwriter makes it so clear that Lee Hyung-Ju’s mother was against this, on top of that, Seo Hye-Seung made a promise to at least three people she’d do certain things if they saved Lee Hyung-Ju. So these promises and the entire planning and suspense just went out of the window.

Netflix kdramas don’t always strive for happy endings, especially if it feels like it would tamper with the drama’s entire baseline which makes me even more surprised that it ended like this.

I understand the screenwriter might have wanted a happy ending as a happy conclusion but I don’t really like the ending. It makes the entire buildup towards that dissipate.

The drama seems to be hinting at season two, because of course they would… it would have given fans even more incentive to ask for a part two if the drama’s ending wasn’t that happy. When you wrap it up so nicely but then introduce a throw-away scene at the end basically testing the waters to see if you can do a part two…. Its a bit… its a bit much. Not everything needs two seasons.

Overall, I’d say “Remarriage & Desires” ending was ok. I enjoyed the drama overall and my review will be out on the blog soon.

  1. I just started watching kdrama about two years ago. But personally, I adored this one. Yes, cheesy in classical ways, but the bad ass tone from the FL was so just wonderful!! Being only 8 episodes, it was a fast enough pace to keep me watching. And I got all I wanted, the cheesy wedding and a cute ending. After watching a period drama, where everybody dies, this was love love love.

  2. The open ending is great. This means that there is still a chance for Prof Cha to take back his inheritance because he was not married to Seo. So the arrangement is void. It’s very cute because we never know what will happen to Season2. Hoping that Lee and Seo will find true happiness with each other.
