Midnight’s Girl

Episode 8 (Final Episode)

Ji Dan inspects the picture that he took with Se Ra, only Se Ra is not in the picture. He calls her mobile but she doesn’t answer. So he, naturally thinks his phone is not working properly.

Ji Dan arrived at the karaoke and loan shark Kwang Cheol is getting the place ready for close down. But, this is a drama after all, so the guy that had once was a potential buyer has come today to buy the place. So, under new management the karaoke will remain open.

For Ji Dan is like a walk down memory lane as he remember all the good times he had there. All of them with Se Ra, of course. He keeps calling her phone and suddenly someone answers.

Its Se Ra’s mom. Now Ji Dan is at the hospital.

Se Ra has been in coma for four years now. Her mobile was in a drawer, supposedly without battery, but Ji Dan’s call came in. The first one in four years.

Ji Dan remembers that he actually met Se Ra at school. While he was practicing with his guitar she was practicing magic. He approached her first. He was the one who gave her the idea of using a purple dolphin plushie instead of flowers. Yes, the very same purple dolphin plushie. She already knew of him, since he was very popular amongst girls by being a singer and all.

She always waited for him to become a singer. The person she wanted to help was Ji Dan all along.

As Ji Dan starts to leave the hospital a Code Blue is called for Se Ra’s room and we see the doctor trying to resuscitate her.

Ji Dan goes back to auditioning for music shows.

The next thing we see is a scene quite similar to the beginning so my first instinct is to think he failed again. But when he gets out of his room we hear his mom on the phone bragging about her son the superstar.

Now both his friends Kwang Cheol and Bum Goo are working with him. Kwang Cheol even got him an idol van but Ji Dan assures him that he isn’t a star yet so he won’t use the car.

Instead he walks and on his way he comes across the karaoke room. Just in front of the place he meets Se Ra and the drama ends.

Wait. Ok. For the sake of not ruining this, I will assume that they succeeded in bringing her back to life and that even after four years in coma she didn’t have brain damage and that’s why she is standing here. Because if she is a ghost, she needs to let him go. He is a living person after all. And is broad daylight.

Agh! There are so many wrong things with this final scene. They didn’t explain how she is here and, wow, so much coincidence that they are here at the same time. Fate you say? Nah.

Anyway, weak ending scene. I’m kind of pissed right now. But over all very fun, with a lot of little things that make one laugh. I’m pleasantly surprised at how good Taehyun is at acting. It was a very simple story but just perfect in its length because if it were a normal length drama they would have ruined it. I would recommend it and probably watch it again.
