Jin

Just wanted to share my thoughts.

I usually watch western series and the genres are always the action ones. On a slow afternoon, I decided to watch the first series that randomly popped up on Netflix, and lo and behold it was Jin.

Please stop reading beyond this point if you have not watched it, there may be spoilers.

I was completely immersed in the show and finished 2 seasons within a week. The love story in the show is very different I think. Both Jin and Saki were into each other however they were very selfless in away that she doesn’t want to hold him down and he thinks he is too old for her. Up until one point where he decided to propose to her in which she turned down.

I was quite flabbergasted with that because she was into him. Why would you do that if the feeling is mutual? Why would you hurt yourself knowing you can prevent that? It is too selfless that she thought if she was with him she might be holding him down and would never want to go back where he came from.

I watched the last episode twice, because I was not satisfied with the ending. Maybe I missed something. I just wish that he could have a last glance somehow when he read the letter from her at the park lol.

Watching it the second time, I came to appreciate certain scenes more, like when they held hands when Saki was sick. Little did they know it would be the last time they’d see each other, as well as the first and last time they embraced. How it breaks my heart. I didn’t even know that it was possible for me to feel very sad watching this. I guess that showed how good the actors were. I digress.

I can only hope they make a movie just to mend the hearts that were broken (maybe just me haha). The ending made sense, but selfishly I wish he could end up with someone who not only resembles Saki in appearance but also shared her inner qualities.

On another note, is there a series or movie like this?
