Marry, me Mary! END

So I finished the last two episodes of 'Mary Stay Out All Night' this morning.

As an overall show, plot definitely had some issues, mostly that it didn't seem like the writers really knew what to do with it, but the characters really made the drama wonderful. Mae-Ri and Moo-Kyul had such wonderful chemistry and such a natural, organically developing romance that it was worth overlooking any of the show's flaws to watch their relationship unfold. And Jung-In ended up being a great character in his own right.

As for the last two episodes...Episode 15 was an out of character, last minute angst fest. But I've been disappointed by the endings of shows I loved before, and I've learned to just kind of pretend that the offending episode or in some cases, entire next season, don't exist, and just enjoy the parts I loved.

I'm so glad that the show recovered to give us a wonderful final episode in episode 16, with all the great things that made us love the show in the first place. I even decided I wanted a few more episodes with Jung-In living with Moo-Kyul (and Mae-Ri).

It's been a wild ride with MM3, which I wasn't expecting from the little K-drama that made me laugh and squee, but all in all it's been a good one, and I'm glad it ended on a note that made me remain almost if not entirely (since there are all those out of character bits I'm erasing from my memory) as fond of it as I was when it began.

This adorable Moo-Kyul/Mae-Ri MV, set to 'I Promise You', a song sung by Moo-Kyul, written about Mae-Ri, is everything I loved about this show. <3 <3
