This leads Abby to open a nearby door, to find a hospital team member hanging still from the ceiling. That broke from story-logic and build up for me.

With TWtWB's both leads had their stories wrapped up fairly well and the story-fail was in a secondary line that, in the end, didn't actually affect much. It seems to me that Ron Perlman either chooses dreadful movies to appear in OR puts a jinx on films in which he appears. And I guess we underestimate the rate at which human hair can grow.

But they crammed it into like a freaking two-minutes-reactionif that. JS looked very sad at the point when he agreed to what Hee-sun suggested but the the face of JS was a type of confused or something that the director suggested for him to do to make us bewildered of what really had happened to Oh soo. I don't blame people for being suspicious though.

Not all chemo causes you to loose your hair - my dad takes oral chemo and doesn't loose his. Another BIG factor as to why the last scene is not a depiction of heaven, or Young's imagination, is because the conversation between Soo and Young in that cafe is waaay too elaborate to be fake. ;). If it was a "porn" movie it wouldn't get nearly as much critical acclaim as it did. Last Winter has amazing moments of sustained tension that made me want to cower in fear.

Young believes that the only option left for her at this point is to die, but as we've seen before she doesn't really want to (and a lot of people who attempt suicide don't) and is very scared of death. (Im guessing the car crash was a vision of what would happen if Jin-sung disobeyed Boss Man, otherwise there would be no reason to obey if his family had already been taken from him.)

A passenger plane then crashes near them, causing their vehicle to get caught in the explosion. You just get some themes thrown in that never were mentioned before (so what are the childhood pictures supposed to mean and why was the strange box introduced into the plot heavily in the beginning to be dropped off in the end) plus a totally open and disappointing ending that I had the impression to have seen more than once before. The art part is just an excuse for porn. Native Alaskan worker Lee vanishes without a trace the next morning; the sound of hooves, the same sound which occurred prior to each appearance of the ghostly caribou, is heard.

AVOID IT ! But hes not there to hear about her family life, and instead asks her to return to Youngs side. It's by no means the worst thing I've ever seen, but it was a letdown - I can live with Young's suicide attempt, but the sudden Drama Fairy handwaving of it is too much.
