#final thought

I never do third though before, usually I have all figure out in second though..but I did not figure out why I was so blank after the ending

But now I know why..it's because the story has finished

The story of paik sa eon/paik yu Yeon and Hong hee joo has ended beautifully with them finally communicating each other truthfully.

The argan matter was necessary for parallel reason and human touch.

Parallel reason is eventually they will find each other no matter what happened to them.it show many times throughout the show ..he will find her and she will find him..it's just need effort..and both of them show effort.

Human touch as he is not perfect after all, there's stuff he don't know and knowing the info making it hard for him to process eventually making the decision to leave hee joo as a form of punishment to atone the past mistake of his father . He was distancing himself but still hopeful.

At first I disagree on why he have to leave instead he could talk it out with hee joo but he never done so before ( so I come to understand sa eon on that part)

Hee joo character change from a passive to active as she been changing throughout the show starting when sa eon did not come home due to the fire.But again human touch coz she was not that strong.

Back to parallel but now she knows the ways to find him even going as far to argan..risking her life knowing she will eventually found him.

Good job to hee joo for taking the lead to stop the waiting games as a comfort for her and sa eon of taking the burden on other people past mistake.

It also show when hee joo said to her sister to let go of the past and be happy in the present.

This drama simply a great drama till the end even it's a bit fast paced in the finale.so take time for me to process everything out..😅

I will post on ep11 (remaining) and ep12 photos afterward for the perfect closure of this beautiful drama.

It's not over till it's over completely..😅

Thank you for reading my overthinking thought

FINAL THOUGHT

Hey hey hey @logicalberry Your Strawberry Roman makes my heart go doki doki thank you

Taglist Below:

I’m so sad about reading those negative comment on “Banana Fish” ending. The reasons people are giving is pretty saddening. 

The Author did not glorify suicide of abuse victim or ended the show that way because he wanted to grab attention. In fact that was not the reason why Ash decided to die anyway.

Ash was never a person to give up. But he had always thought that keeping Eiji away from him would keep Eiji safe. So the moment he started running for Eiji upon receiving the ticket was the very moment that he got stabbed. Meaning there were still men that were after him to kill him. If he kept on living, or went to Eiji, or Eiji came to him, that’d mean he’s putting Eiji’s life in danger. So he took the alternative way, by bleeding till death from a non-fetal wound so he’d never be associated with Eiji again although he was living in his happiest moment of life. In his sense he protected him that way.

As for glorifying suicide, no. The author did not do that, in fact he clearly showed how Eiji and Sing are both suffering . Means the suicide wasn’t the best option. He showed how even people that are abused needs to live because there are people that cared for them. That was the message that he tried to send.

At the end of the day, yes I also would have loved it more if they gave it a little bit happy ending. But the ending is not completely out of context or forcefully tragedy. It did contain some message although I believe it could have portrayed Ash’s emotions better.

I liked finding out on a second playthrough of Mahariel’s arc that theres really no surefire way to go about dealing with that very first encounter with the human hunters
