Re: Satisfying/Unsatisfying Endings

[(Anonymous)]

A Korean drama called Black has one of the worst endings I've seen in years. The show itself was very bleak and dealt with heavy/upsetting topics(lots of murder for a start), along with having a zany fantastical spin: the male-lead was a reaper(this is somewhat more complicated, but to keep it simple this is what he is). Sounds like a potentially interesting premise right?

And it was for 15 episodes, the story made sense, the characters weren't so stupid I found them annoying, thing were progressing logically. And then episode 16 happened. It was like the show suddenly remembered it needed to wrap itself up, it introduced a 3rd villain that didn't exist until that very episode, characters literally teleported from place to place for plot reasons, I swear 60 things happened in the span of 30 mins and I missed most of it. And to top it all off... the male lead goes to the afterlife to fix the female leads life, and promptly undoes the entire show. All the murders that got solved, all the justice brought to those victims, gone, undone just to give the female lead a tacked on, completely out of place 'happy ending' and just. Gah. I hated it so much.

I know the show wanted me to think those deaths were still 'solved' but he literally changed everything by removing a thing in the past and we see the female lead's new, happier life, so: those solved murders are in fact unwritten as a result of that.

It was the worst shit I'd ever seen for an otherwise decent show.

SA.

To add a little more to this, I'm fine with endings that fit the tone of a show. So I'll hate an unhappy ending for a happy show, and hate tacked-on happy endings for unhappy shows. It just needs to narritvely fit, so cases like the above, where the story flips on it's own head for an ending that doesn't make sense, will annoy the shit out of me.

AYRT

Damn! The premise sounded interesting, there's so many ways to handle that. I'm sad it turned out like that. Narrative fit is something that I find important for a story, but jeez, they skipped that boat and jumped right into the ocean.
