Yes, it ended and Dong Chul died while he saved Dong Wook's life. It was such a sad scene that I cried out loud at one point. The Evil Baddie got killed by the Crazy Nurse, the disloyal sidekick got killed by the disloyal man of Weird Baddie. Everyone else lived happily ever after. Except my darling Dong Chol who... died.
I'm expecting major withdrawal symptoms.
Meanwhile in the absence of the Samsung tablet my co worker lends me in the shuttle bus to home (he sold it yesterday) I'm now not playing OKEY but actually reading Middlemarch - and it is not getting any better.

East of Eden Eps. 50-51-52-53
Things are slowly approaching to disaster. Ji Hyun finally saw just how bad Evil Baddie is (which is super duper bad) and after Myung Hun took her out of jail owning up to the bribery charges, she went to his (new) home and made up with Lee MiSok. She seemed to get over the rape - but I just couldn't.
Meanwhile Weird Baddie died imagining Dong Chul and Grace getting married before him.
I'm not going to say that I felt bad for him. He was a colourful character though.
Dong Wook is slowly turning into psyhco allowing his ambition for fame and respectability to rule over him. He didn't even help Ji Hyun, in fact he ignored her. Such an asshole.
Evil Baddie tried to kill Dong Chol and Lee MiSok - seriously Dong Chol just cannot get a break. Even Dong Wook hit him at one point.
Myung Hun is singing to the other DA who is very interested (in both putting Shin Tae Hwan in and taking Dong Wook down).
After Dong Chul and Lee MiSok (who finally saw her error - in living all this time for Shin Tae Hwan and ruining her boys's lives turning them into tools for her revenge) survived the murder attempt, Shin Tae Hwan the Evil Baddie thought of a better way to harm Dong Chol: Evil Baddie cooperates/pays to Macau Head Thug Jackie (a caucasian extra who cannot act but is hillarious when trying) to frame Dong Chol for drug trafficking. He even made the evil laugh.
God willing I'll finish this tonight but will probably suffer from withdrawal syndromes. This is so much better than Baker King Kim Tak Gu.

East of Eden End of Eps.49
This show is going to kill me since I watched 6 episodes on Saturday (ok I'm having a cold that has gone down at my chest) and 3 more on Sunday. I think if it was two years ago I'd have stayed all night and finish it. Now older and wiser I know it is better to keep the anticipation going.
Dong Chul is my ideal man. He has got a golden heart, very smart and great looking. His hairstyles get more ridiculous as we are nearing the end but he still manages to look hot.
Now everyone knows the baby switch and predictably Dong Wook is gone to the dark side. Well not to make another Starwars reference but this time it is not fear that leads but it is simple human jelaousy (which is brought by low self esteem I think) since Dong Wook gave Lee Mi Sok the ultimate ultimatom saying that she has to choose between him and Myung Hun (the way a real, loving son wouldn't do). I don't understand why he couldn't stay with them and also have Myung Hun (who is now near angelic but I can't seem to forget the rape) as the additional bro. Dong Wook is just not having any of it.
The terminal illness finally hit and the victim is Weird Baddie Chairman Guk. Finally as he is dying he consented to Dong Chul and Grace. But of course his greedy men kidnapped him and forced Grace to appoint the crazy Macau guy as the managing director. But just at the right moment Dong Chul arrived pushing the Weird Baddie in a wheelchair. Hero for the win!

East of Eden - Not Really Sure Which Episode
I have East of Eden in tears and with a reluctant heart last night.
Myung Hun finally told Dong Chol and he absolutely crushed under the reality. He was sobbing his heart out in his mother's garden. Everyone around him puzzled and worried since I guess they have never seen him like that. Poor thing at least looked and Dong Wook and told him that he is the person he loves best in the world and that is something no? I think my heart broke a little.
Meanwhile of course while he is dealing with all this Weird Baddie is attached and Grace is kidnapped. I'm hoping that this will be an outlet for him to let out his frustrations and he will be able to save Grace.
The good thing is that Lee Dae Hee finally found out that Dong Chol is Dong Wook's elder brother and it looks like she gave up on him. A very important silver lining, that one. For some reason I don't like her.

East of Eden Eps.32-33-34
East of Eden slowly takes over my life :)
Of course it has to be Myung Hun who finds out that Crazy Nurse switched the babies and of course he'd experience a shock and wouldn't be able to tell anyone, all the while I have been saying "go to Dong Chol, tell it to Dong Chol! He is your brother, he'll know what to do!"
And at the end of episode 35 he has walked to the casino holding the "bag" in his hands. The said bag contains information about tax crimes committed by Weird Baddie and could harm Dong Chol too.
At least now he knows that he man he was never able to like (although has tried to please numerous times) is not his father. I felt sorry for him and the actor really came through but I can't forget how he raped Ji Hyun so I was not crying rivers - like I do everytime something happens to Dong Chol. Also Lee Dae Hae is slowly creeping to Dong Chol's life repeating her earlier sob/mystery story of how there is a reason he has to study in the green house, nothings is as it seems like bla bla bla. Stay away from Dong Chol woman! Also how come they still haven't realised that Dong Chol and Dong Wook are brothers?

East of Eden - Eps. 31
Just as I feared that East of Eden is going downhill, drama leap back from the stumble. After a 5 year time lapse, Dong Chol is now combing his hair back and is a business owner but still works for weird baddie (doing errands or whatever WB wants him to do) He is just so cool and good hearted.
Grace has married Mike but Mike is having problems since he fights for being the sole heir of Steve Packer when there is a second elder brother who has ample triad backing. Mike only wants this because Weird Baddie puts him up to it. And Grace knows. Grace still loves Dong Chol and he loves her back but they cannot be together. Also Grace was mentally ill and had to be hospitalised 5 years back, only to be saved by her love to Dong Chol. But she and WB now understood that Mike doesn't have the skills nor drive to be an emperor (as subtitles say) so Grace said to her father that she will succeed his empire and she should let Dong Chol do his own thing. Taesung Electronics is up for sale (since Crazy Nurse initiated her revenge plan) and Grace wants Dong Chol to have it.
Meanwhile Weird Baddie finally understood that his daughter's heart will not change and now tries to matchmake Dong Chol with Lee Dae Hee (Hye Rin in the drama). I don't like Dae Hee's character and I don't like her acting in this. So I'm very unhappy with how the things are approaching since Dae Hee was dumped by Dong Wook and she dumped her fiance. I just cannot feel any sympathy towards her. Dong Chol deserves better.
Dong Wook on the other hand is showing his true colours. He is now a rookie but big shot prosecutor and he even pulled Shin Tae Hwan for questioning and acted like a jerk (Dong Chol on the other hand treated Evil Baddie with respect even when he had him in his hands) but Evil Baddie Shin is not going to go down yet.
Crazy Nurse activated her revenge plan by outing herself and demanding payment at the same time. I actually felt good when I saw Evil Baddie's face after he realised what has happened. It only lasted half a minute or so but I think I even laughed out loud. But of course the real revenge will come out when she announces how she switched the babies. That plan is flawed on so many levels but I feel sorry for Dong Chol and Lee Mi Sok since they didn't do anybody any harm. Well Lee Mi Sok did second hand harm to Ji Hyun but I don't think she deserves this sort of payback. Especially now that she is treating Dong Chol really well.
Of course as evident from this post, I'm head over heels in love with Dong Chol now.

East of Eden Eps 22-23-24
This is going so good. I was not able to watch yesterday - went to the b-day party of a friend's two years old and ate far too much. I have still not eaten anything as of 11.30 today - from 17:30 yesterday and I don't feel hungry at all. Also there was too much children's noise - my good friend's child is especially troublesome- and I felt like my head is growing twice its size. After my friend dropped me at the bus stop to continue for half an hour with the bus, I had to stand since it was really very very crowded.
When I finally arrived home at about 20:00 o'clock my mother was watching Turkish survivor c-list celeb edition. I actually wanted to crawl into my bed and sleep but my heart didn't want to leave my mother alone in her excitement (she loves Survivor) so I crawled into the sofa with a blanket and immediately fell asleep. Well at least I was there.
Today I have also shopped on line again which is becoming quite a habit. I liked what I had purchased (a trenchcoat, tan colour chino pants, a viskose dress, a v neck sweater - I have a weakness for those- and a khaki cargo skirt) but still I shouldn't have.
Middlemarch has finally started to be interesting. As a female I can't help but agree with George Eliott most of the time but still I think her style is too aggressive and she has a certain know it all attitude that turns me off. But I do like the story and the characters so I think I'll enjoy this better as a TV Series or something.
