[VENT] Jdrama open-ended endings
I feel the need to vent about how Jdramas end their series, especially the romance arcs. Titles discussed: Proposal Daisakusen, Destiny, You can’t expense this, Tagusari bros.
The first time I had this experience was with Proposal Daisakusen a lifetime ago. But back then it felt like a mature decision, okay, let the audience decide what happens. We kinda get what happened — not in our face but it felt interesting.
But lately I’ve been watching series with romance elements like Destiny, You can’t expense this, which romance arc is not closed properly. It feels like the romance arc was not closed properly just for the sake of being… different. So many environmental elements and character developments were definitely preparing us for a happy closure and we are deprived of it. Like we watched an entire series made out of accommodations and compromises made for a birthday party and the camera cuts when the birthday person was in front of the venue, like what?
I didn’t get as pissed with Tagusari bros’ non-explicit ending though.
Sorry if this is a lot I am just pissed.
