From the beginning he loved Na-jung and only Na-jung, and only until the very end it clicked in his mind that the past 8 years his love life was a joke.

Na-jung wanted Trash, Trash came through, and they ended up together. Actually I think enjoyed 1997 and 1994 more. It’s not the fact that CB didn’t end up with NJ that I’m mad, just the fact that CB was given a pathetic ending. Chilbong does this mannerism a Heck of times. Your email address will not be published. where was she??? He didn’t seem upset or depressed. Now lets not forget about Haitai since he is still a contender. I think the ending little lack in some scene, like rush and no time.. Too many scene missing in, not like reply 1997. and How is one person more deserving than someone else? And the love he has for Najung’s family? ” Shannonsays28 says: December 22, 2013 at 3:14 am I agree with everything you say. Also he does this when he is guilty of something an example is when Sam Cheon Po and Yoo Jin come clean about dating and Haitai says that he thought Na Jung would be the first one to come out as a couple..he cleared his throat then and touched his face.

People were fighting in the comment sections of site after site. We got to understand why Trash and Najung broke up– they loved each other but wasn’t willing to go to the next step of sharing each others lives with each other– the parts where they’re the weakest.
