Jin 2 ends

I cried my heart out during the final episode. When Saki's mother insisted on not visiting her, so that Saki will not think her condition as hopeless and lose the will to live. When Jin became unable to perform a simple surgery. When Jin sought info on Saki from a 'new' Miki.

To be honest, I felt a bit shortchanged by the ending. Throughout the 2 seasons, we were shown that the corrective power of history works by causing a previously absent event to undo whatever Jin did to change history, like...bring another cause of death for someone who Jin saved from death earlier. But then, at the final part, history just conveniently erased memories of Jin from everyone's mind, including all he has done...

I love how the end tied with the start. Beautifully done. It gives me the chills that the "Go back to that world" came from the fetus-shaped tumour, and not the mysterious man as I'd previously thought.

Would have given it a full 10 points if the ending was done better, but seeing how it ripped my heart up while filling it up with warmth at the same time, I'm giving it a 9/10! Definitely one of the best Jdramas in years.

I'm going to suffer from withdrawal syndrome. Again.
