Autumn Tale: I laughed. I cried. Actually, I just laughed and laughed

[lesbiassparrow]

Everyone should be forced to watch the last episode of Autumn Tale. EVERYONE. It fills one with such glee even if the writers had clearly run out of plot and were forced to cobble together something filled mainly with flashbacks.



The heroine contracted a terminal illness which not only filled me with glee but also gave everyone a chance to wail over her bed. At a pivotal moment she went into a coma so that all the men folk would have to be restrained from flinging themselves at doctors who said that she would die. (I'm not surprised that she was doomed: the treatment mainly seemed to consist of having her lie there on a drip and be saintly and wan.)

But the great thing was the death! Fake!Sister (heroine) asks to be taken down to the beach and Fake!Brother (the hero of this sobfest) obliges. He carries her on his back and then she pops off on the dot once they get there. Whereupon he proceeds to carry her body around ALL DAY (it was all day because they set the going to the beach in the morning and we saw sunset) and tell her happy stories. SO DELICIOUSLY TRAGIC AND ENTERTAINING. And then there's the world's longest funeral where even Evil!Real!Sister cries and the hero emos because he has promised the heroine he will live on and not kill himself after her death. And then when he is wandering emotastically through some streets HE GETS RUN OVER BY A LORRY. The shot of the lorry bearing down on him! His face! And it was intercut with images of Playboy (secondary hero) tossing the heroine's ashes into the sea. And then there were shots of Fake!Brother and Fake!Sister on the beach enjoying their wrong, wrong love.

The only thing I was sad about was that no one played the piano.

I do want to watch the final episode of this. I'm going to look for it!

It was so very hilarious. And I wish I had a screencap of the expression of the hero's face as he stared at the lorry bearing down on him. SO GOOD.

Is this an actual show's conclusion? That's hilarious! It sounds just a little less laughable than something I'd conjure up.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

It was and it was so incredibly hilarious and entertaining that I could not look away.

That's usually how it goes with soap-type shows. So godawful that you can't resist!

LOL! that sounds so funny...so it's a so bad it's good kind of show? it reminds me of that movie, 'Weekend at Bernie's' where these two guys just dragged around a dead body for their whole holiday.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's one of those over the top kdramas where you just sit back and enjoy everyone's intense and endless woe.

Wouldn't she get a little um, stiff? As in, how would he get her off his back by evening?

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

I think the hero would have liked that. Besides having her go all stiff would have meant she wouldn't slide off. Very convenient.
