49 Days Final Episode

Previously on 49 Days -- When Yi Kyung asked Ji Hyun why she pretended like she didn't remember her memories with Kang. Ji Hyun answered,

"Because I'm going to  die again soon."

The scene flashes back. 

At the hospital Yi Su comes to Ji Hyun in doctor’s gown. Ji Hyun recognizes him and then wonders why she can see him, because scheduler's are supposed to be only seen by the dead. Ji Hyun asks Yi Su why she could remember him. Yi Su tells her the brutal truth. He says that the memory is a gift, because the last person he has to take for his job is Ji Hyun. She is scheduled to leave in 6 days. Because she has gone through the unnecessary hassle to go through the journey to obtain tears. She has also succeeded. It's a gift from up above. Yi Su tells her that she can either accept or decline the offer of the memory of 49 days. Ji Hyun accepts the offer, but is angry at her fate. She is sad, and it's even worse because she can't blame anyone. Yi Su pats her back and says:

 

"Life and death is beyond the control for everyone."

 

The scene now changes again back to Ji Hyun and Yi Kyung.Yi Kyung asks her who has told her this story. Ji Hyun says that there is such being, and does not mention Yi Su. Yi Kyung says it’s unfair that she as to go after 49 days of hard work to get tears. However, Ji Hyun matures up and says that 49 days did not go in bain. Ji Hyun supposes that had she had not died and gone through the 49 days of travel, she would have gone mad at her fiance’s betrayal. Perhaps she was destined to die of broken heart or to commit suicide. Had she not have gone through the journey, she would have died after living a lie. She wanted to leave as cheerful Ji Hyun that everyone knows, but she couldnt just ignore Yi Kyung. 

"What about Han Kang?" asks Ji Hyun. "Didn't he ask you not to leave without saying good bye like his mother?"

"What good are those promises?" answers Ji Hyun. "I have to leave anyway." Ji Hyun adds that she wants to just remain as her friend. 

The scene changes to prison. Kang says that he is surprised that Min Ho accepted the visit. Min Ho says that he wanted to see him gloat. 

"You always said you wanted to beat me. You should be all satisfied that you pulled it off." says Min Ho with bitterness. 

"Not really" answers Kang. "You will come back to your usual self." Kang says that he always respected Min Ho for always striving through in his difficult conditions. 

Min Ho says that he also liked Kang because he is someone who is hurt by his parents. He liked his personality of not changing but accepting his fate. 

I hate how this always happens in K-Drama's. Why can't villans remain as villans? They always regret what they have done, and the main characters all become mushy. Please! Hate each other forever. That's where the fun is!

Meanwhile, Ji Hyun has meal with her family. She acts like a good loving daughter she has always been. She tries extra hard to make her parents happy. This part is really saddening because she knows that she is leaving. After dying once, Ji Hyun has really matured up and takes death really well. She knows that it's just a journey to another world. 

After the meal Ji Hyun goes to see Yi Kyung gets the picnic lunch from her. I wonder who the lunch is for?

Manager of Heaven restaurant rushes downstairs and tells Kang that Ji Hyun has come to see him.

The couple goes to a picnic together. Kang asks why a picnic all of the sudden. Ji Hyun answers that she has always wanted to go to a picnic with a boyfriend.

"Since when was I your boyfriend?" asks Kang jokingly. "You can just tell me that you like me."

Ji Hyun asks him if she can borrow his mp3 player. Kang says that she borrows everything from him asks what will come next.

"You", answers Ji Hyun. "Let me borrow you for a day."

Kang asks if he can also borrow her for a day. 

The couple has lunch together. They eat the roll Ji Hyun made together. Well that Ji Hyun made in Yi Kyung's body. I wonder if it didn't go bad past few days. They pictures together and play around, doing boyfriend and girlfriend thing. When Ji Hyun sees Kang's mother's jewelery. She now explains how she has had it. She says she was actually pretty close with his mother. 

 

"Sometimes when you love somebody," says Kang's mother. "There are somethings that you rather not tell him. Because it will hurt him. Even if he misunderstands you and hate you for it, you rather not tell him the truth."

Kang recalls back to Yi Kyung telling him the same thing. 

She was delivering my mother's message.

"Now I know why your mother said such thing, and how she was feeling." says Ji Hyun.

"Yeah, because hiding your feelings is harder than not knowing it." adds Kang. This hints Ji Hyun that Kang knows that Yi Kyung was Ji Hyun. She recalls her saying the samething to Kang when she was inside of Yi Kyung. 

 

At the end of the walk, Kang takes her to a fountain. This is where a wish comes true when you flip a coin into it. Kang thinks back and the scene changes: Yi Kyung and Kang are talking. 

"She told me to not to tell you," says Yi Kyung. "But I felt really sorry for her acting like she is all okay and happy for the sake of the ones left behind."

Yi Kyung says that Kang that she thought that he should know. 

"The only thing I wanted for Ji Hyun was to live." says Kang. "It's okay if I can't see her for the rest of my life. As long as she lives." Kang cries.

The scene comes back to the fountain and Kang wishes at the fountain. 

Please let Ji Hyun live wishes Kang.

Please let Kang forget me wishes Ji Hyun. 

Ji Hyun returns home and her parents ask her why she is so happy. Ji Hyun whispers to her father, " I'm happy because I was born as your daughter." Ji Hyun tells her mother "I'm happy because I was born as your daughter Mom." This would be the last thing she says to her parents. Ji Hyun plans her death well. She spends it really unselfishly, and cares for those who loved her whole heartedly. I think this is where the value of one's life is measured. How altruistically one has lived really shows in their death. 

Ji Hyun collapses on the floor after saying her last message laughing. Her soul comes out of her body right away. Yi Su is smiling at her, waiting for her in black suit. He appraises Ji Hyun for the good work she has done and gives her a bow and respect.

"Let's leave," says Ji Hyun looking back at her father who is crying with Ji Hyun in his arms. She cannot bear the scene. 

Yi Su calls on the elevator outside the hospital room. Ji Hyun and Yi Su shake hands. Without a word Ji Hyun goes in. They seem to know each other's heart just exchanging looks. 

Ji Hyun's mother is crying at her daughter's bed. Ji Hyun has white blanket over her. The doctor explains that her aorta was damaged from the accident. It could have ruptured at any moment. Kang rushes into the hospital. He cries.

In Jung hears the news over the phone and drops her phone. She cries.

Min Ho hears the news from Min Jung. He also cries. And yeah he dropped his phone too.

Ji Hyun's funeral. Ji Hyun's parents are in her room. 

"She cleaned her room like someone who was leaving." says the father.

"I heard that she stayed all night cleaning her room." adds the mother.

They both tell each other what Ji Hyun said to them last. 

"She must have waken up just to tell us good bye." cries Ji Hyun's mother. 

Kang finds Ji Hyun's letter:

I'm Song Yi Kyung. I'm someone who needs a friend. Please return these items to me they are important. I wish that Han Kang could be a good friend to Yi Kyung like he had been to a person named Ji Hyun.

Yi Kyung is surprised to see her stuff. She finds Yi Su's key to a locker. They go to the locker. In the locker she finds music sheets that belonged to Yi Su. She finds a bag she once threw away a long time ago when she came out of the orphanage. Yi Su must have picked it up for her.Yi Kyung finds her shoe inside the bag and a bank account. 

She recalls back in the days when Yi Su made an account in Yi Kyung's name. Yi Su has written a letter for Yi Kyung in the deposit notes. Every time he made a deposit he wrote part of the letter in the note. This way when she sees the account history, she would be able to read a letter. 

It says that he has opened this account so that he could buy the pension she wanted someday. He also asks her to live for her because she is the guardian of Yi Su. 

 

Yi Kyung cries after reading the letter and holds it tightly to her chest. Invisible to Yi Kyung's eyes, Yi Su is watching the whole thing. He is crying.

In tears Yi su says, "Yeah, so be strong and stop crying."

Kang visits Ji Hyun's place.  Ji Hyun's parents are arguing. 

"Isn't crying over Ji Hyun enough?" yells the father. "Must you take out the pictures of the dead child again?"

"Leave me alone!" says the mother holding the photo album. 

The father angrily leaves telling her to do whatever she wants.

Kang is puzzled and asks the mother who the person was in the picture. The mother says, " Ji Hyun's sister."

"Ji Hyun had a sister?" asks Kang. 

"She did," says her mother. "Someone I couldn't even bury like Ji Hyun. Only buried in my heart." "Ji Hyun had to do everything her older sister did."

She recalls back in the days where Ji Hyun's sister Ji Min was kidnapped at the bus terminal by a woman. 

Could it be? Kang says that he knows someone who has the exact same bag and the shoes. She is orphan. Immidiately they go to talk to Yi Kyung. The mother asks if she can at least see the shoe and bag, when Yi Kyung denies to see the pictures. She is sure that she has been abandoned. The mother says that she always put stars in Ji Min's stuff to distinguish between Ji Hyun's. Because Ji Hyun always wanted the same thing Ji Hyun had. When they checked the bag and shoe, there is the star marking that the mother she had once made for her. Oh my god could it be?

Song Yi Kyung is Ji Hyun's sister! The mother cries. 

Meanwhile, Yi Su is watching the wholething and is also surprised. He recalls back to the time when he told Ji Hyun that family members are not included for the tears to bring her back.

He also recalls when Ji Hyun was asking him before she got in the elevator. "Who were the two people that cried for me?" "Was it Yi Kyung and Seo Woo?" 

"You're right about Seo Woo," says Yi Su. "But not Yi Kyung."

 

Ji Hyun recalls back to when In Jung came to the hospital to pull the plug on Ji Hyun. After reaching for the respirator like a possessed person, she looks at the mirror. Horrified, In Jung starts crying. 

"This isn't what I wanted." says In Jung. "It wasn't you Ji Hyun. It was me. It was me who I hated."

Kang walks in and misunderstands her.

In Jung cries to Min Ho's mother and says that she needs the envelope Min Ho had given her. She says she needs it to stop her son from going bad like his father. 

In Jung drops the tear. 

All the mysteries are solved. Yi Kyung cries for her sister. 

"Is this what my senior meant?" says Yi Su.

"You have to finish up well with Ji Hyun." 

I'm leaving now Yi Kyung. Today is my last day as Scheduler. Live a happy life for Ji Hyun.

2 Years later...

In Jung looks back at her old days with Ji Hyun. Yi Kyung goes to work at the restaurant. 

Yi Kyung has meal with her parents. 

Ji Hyun took all the loneliness with her and left the world without complaining at her fate. By doing so she left everyone's heart filled with love and returned the things back to normal. She has brought warmth to all. 

Do you have 3 people that will cry whole heartedly when you leave?

 

Thanks for watching!
