She offers a handshake to her too, and then gets up to go.

Next on her list is little Yoo-na, and as they sit in a convenience store window drinking yogurt, she tells her that she’ll miss everything she ate here. Then Chung explains that she’s going somewhere for a while and wanted to say goodbye, extending a hand to the surprised family. Chung tells Shi-ah to delete them, and Shi-ah retorts that she already did, ha. Shi-ah gets in a dig about Chung not only being Joon-jae’s girlfriend but also the object of Tae-oh’s affections, saying that his phone was full of her pictures. She says she’ll just be going somewhere for a short while, but her goodbyes have an air of finality to them as she thanks them for everything.Ĭhung visits Jin-joo and Shi-ah’s house just as the two sisters-in-law are arguing over whose coat was more cruel to the animal sacrificed for it (mink versus duck).

Ultimately, he leaves the choice with her, and after she decides, she kisses him.Ī short while later as Chung leaves the house, she runs into Nam-doo, Tae-oh, and Joon-jae’s mother at the front gate. She doesn’t want him to suffer in case she can never return, but he assures her that even if she couldn’t, his love would outlast his life and go into the next one. Joon-jae asks Chung not to erase his memory before she leaves, reminding her that it’s better to remember love even if it hurts than to remember nothing.

It ends a little quietly, but in a way that feels well-suited to its themes, and on an uplifting note that leaves me in a good place as I leave these characters and wish them well for whatever’s around the bend after the show drops its curtain. It’s time to say goodbye to this show, which has been a sweetly funny ride all the way through and retains those qualities through its final hour (and regains some of its earlier lightness too, which I enjoyed). 242 JanuJanuLegend of the Blue Sea: Episode 20 (Final) by javabeans
