Love is...fantasy

"It's challenging a seemingly impossible obstacle. Falling in love with someone out of your world... winning that person's heart... and realizing your love... those are the things fantasies are made of."

It has been a month or two since I got hooked up in a Korean drama, particularly Lovers in Paris, which was aired in Indosiar every 7AM. Lovers in Paris is -surprisingly- a beautiful and refreshing romantic drama comedy beyond the ordinary. We don't see weak, submissive female person as the main character there as in many old fashioned dramas. Instead, we see a self-empowered, strong-willed and determined woman, doing what she wants to do, being what she wants to be courageously.

Okay, so I missed a couple of episodes, but the end was pretty exciting, albeit confusing for most. Heryati was screaming "What's going on? What happens with the two of them (Tae Young and Ki Joo)?" all the way down to the last minute.

Several interesting thoughts about the ending were juggling up in my mind. But I took out one interpretation which I think is the most probable..

There are two worlds of the same person. One is in the fantasy of the other. The real world begins when the fantasy world ends..

Tae Young, a novelist by heart, is working as part time maid for the house of a CEO (in Korea), and while she's at it, she stumbles upon her boss' laptop, on which she started her writing a story.. the love story about two lovers who meet the first time in Paris.

When TY finishes her last part of the story, her fantasy world coincides with her real world. Events are unfolding as they were in her story. It creates a kind of awkward, de ja vu feeling for her.. and for Ki Joo, whom she later meet for the first time, accidentally as it was in the fantasy.

That's how I saw the whole story. Ah, we lost count at how many times we cry when things get worse, laugh at the funny things they do, and cheer at Tae Young's bravery. Lovers in Paris is no doubt in my opinion, a breathtaking, thought provoking, and extraordinary Korean drama series I've ever seen.

Let me know if you have your own interpretation to share..
