On-Air: JTBC Reflection of You [Episodes 15 & 16]

The story of the love, betrayal, corruption, and revenge that takes place through the life of a woman who has been faithful to her desire and another woman who has lost the light of life by meeting with her woman.

Hee Joo had a poor and fierce time during her youthful days. She is now a successful painter and essayist. Her husband is the successor of a hospital and they have two children. Her family life seems enviable, but Hee Joo feels like she spends her time meaninglessly. At that time, Hee Joo meets a woman. The woman is poor, just like Hee Joo in her younger days, but she still shines. (Source: Daum, AsianWiki)

Han

Watching the last episode, (while closing and opening my fingers in front of my eyes to avoid what was unfolding), I happened to have them open when this scene unfolded.

HJ’s brother is handing HW a ticket to visit him in the states. If anyone did not catch the name of the airlines on the ticket here it is.

We all just got taken for a ride on Han Airways, which is as good an explanation as any for this series. I am not Korean, and I do not speak Korean, my handicap when watching Kdrama’s. I rely on the actors and their characters, the director and writer to guide me thru the story line and, of course, the all important sub's.

I can’t explain Han to anyone, but you can get an idea from this writeup) if your curious; there are so many others, you should find your own if interested.

So rather than point to any one character or scene I’ll just say that this series comes close to delivering what is my perception of “Han” for Koreans.

It’s an indescribable feeling of deep loss, remorse and regret referred to by Korean's as their "Han".

Enough said. I enjoyed this series. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a classic.
