Oh right, this is why I shouldn't watch kdrama.

Warning: spoilers for IRIS. Duh. But not a lot of people on my flist are watching it so I'm not going to bother with an lj-cut. Just skip the entry if you care about spoilers. Effing hell. IRIS just... I don't even know. I'm so not used to this kind of ending. I've been bathed in the goodie-shiny-all for the best kind of endings they have in American and UK series. Hell, even jdramas would never do that. Seriously, if you thought that Torchwood was bad because they killed off people, if you thought that Doctor Who was bad because they erased people's memories and killed off people... well that's nothing! Here not only did they kill people but they like to mentally torture people. Oh, so you love him, don't you? Look, you're almost going to have a happy ending but guess what? We're going to kill him off right in the last twenty seconds, so there! And you'll be left standing there, waiting for him and the screen just fades out and the viewers will be left wondering what the hell just happened. And showing all the happy memories while basically showing the last moments of a person's life... tear jerker. Argh. From the start I should have seen it coming. Of course it couldn't have been a happy ending. Of course there will be fire and there will floods and there will be wrath of IRIS going on anyone who dares go against them. And yet I had hope. Those final thirty seconds... I'm not shocked or sad or anything like that. I just wanted something else. Maybe it's because I was really disappointed by the way T.O.P (the guy in the photo above) was a whiny little bitch at the end. Sure he smirked really well, you gotta give the kid credit for that but his character was so badly written at the end. Honestly from the way they presented him he was good at three things: killing people, walking everywhere as if he were on a walkway and doing Neo-like moves when getting shot. He couldn't even pour wine properly! Bah. But going back to the ending. I'll give it to them, the writers did a pretty good job. I'm definitely going to rewatch it in a month or two, once I've digested everything that happens in it.
