Writing an introduction reaches in Drama History never felt more like an obituary crafts because it means we have finally the end of the line for one of the best shows of the year, and one of the largest character studies. As our hero, we have this trip to know with certainty that it would end, even if it still feels like it was just not enough time. And although this final the perfect amount of closure has something I do not think I have ever been able to not say-it the act of rental does not easily go
. Note: There were some transmission errors in the original broadcast of this finale, so for the benefit of the hard work of this production make this recap the chronological order of the revised program rerun except follows, unless otherwise indicated. Consistent message with the show, it is not so much about the mistakes you make as much as how to fix it.
And also, punch went out with a series high of 14.8%, the highest of any weeknight drama competitors. Could not be well-deserved.

The final episode RECAP
Because his leg cramps to prevent him from escaping, Jung-hwan runs back into car before Ho-Sung coming back, no wiser ...
But he ratted if the black box that his memory announces card has been removed. his immediate reaction is (yay!) in the intestine Ho-sung to punch before he tries to escape, cramps and all convulsions.
Ho-Sung plunges him to pursue, and Jung-hwan just barely ahead to stay, even after a fall down the stairs to take in the subway leads he. loses his cell phone in the autumn, which receives Ho-sung, and uses the very short projection he has to hide the map in a locker before Ho-sung corners him on the subway platform.
Ho-Sung says Minister Yoon is stolen on the memory card, but that he sent to search detectives the metro station. Jung-Hwan also has a strip search through when they have empty come. They will not allow him out of the interrogation room, until he gives it, but.
While Minister Yoon media is an incorrect reason for keeping Jung-hwan in prison, Tae-joon realizes that the only reason he would be still detained because he has something wants Yoon. It is the law (for once, as he admits) use to get from Jung-hwan.
But the thought that Jung-hwan could die before they get their hands on the chip too much for Minister Yoon to wear, making them worth him a personal visit.
Despite the fact that he looks like he's on the verge of death knocks, he still has the opportunity to give their deadpan answers, my favorite is when they alleged enlistment was son was just an accident. "I think it was also a accident , you accelerated toward Ha-Kyung"
She claims'll take forward for the responsibility by paying the world better to place to make. Jung-hwan cut her off, as he admits, her words will make him vomit (hah), and they switched tactics now she threatens him, by reminding that he will never leave this room.
Jung-hwan is not as secure, and dares to do their worst. He is ready.
Armed states with medical charts and a medical certificate that Jung-hwan to get solve the brink of death, Yeon-jin and Tae-joon Jung-hwan Minister Yoon couplings
Before this can be done the following morning, Tae-joon is visited by Minister Yoon with a set. he can not avoid his sentence, but if he delivers the memory card to her, she'll shorten about five years. He laughs, not only in this offer, but at Yoon boldness reminded them that she was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, while he and Jung-hwan had her way to work up.
He does not want their business because of a reduced rate is not sweet enough pot it is an all or nothing kind of guy, and it's not about the radicals to take a princess table.
"I'll hold your hand and we fall together," he adds with a grin Cheshire. "We are in this together, you and me."
Minister Yoon has to crawl to call old contacts, once that Jung-hwan has applied for a suspension of has informed the study, because they not him go to his planned experiment in a few hours be-if the judge to fulfill his wish, she would lose the memory card forever.
so she asks to withdraw their friends Tae-joon at heights, and to convince them to make the judges set to hear it to dismiss Jung-hwan case. She gets her second wish, because no trial is being held, and it is capable of the blame for the application for Tae-joon to pin and even goes so far as to call directly during a press conference for his resignation.
TAE joon knows Minister Yoon pulls out all the stops to get him to the point of his office, where Yeon-jin he hang can not think (as Jung-hwan asked him to do) much ,
Da Ho-Sung Jung-hwan phone confiscated, Hyun-sun has to call him her brother to achieve with the news that Ha-Kyung is gone critical their heart is out to give.
And Ho-sung has seen the merciless nervous the possibility of taking Jung-hwan Ha-Kyung in their final moments as a reward , but only if Jung-hwan to offer says where the memory card.
from Poor Jung-hwan looks like he just his strength is to sit, and Ho-sung actually manages to get me to hate him by crying a single tear more how he actually sad is Ha-Kyung is about to die, and that he prevent his old friend it be for his wife. Oh boo hoo.
Jung-hwan does not soften, but the whole body pain, which proves him to be overcome too much later. He fishes out that last vial of Demerol, as his face contorts with a barely stifled sob-oh God, it is because he is concerned about Ha-Kyung. Ho-sung, you're a Monster .
He fishes out the picture of the three of them together in his wallet for strength as he uses all his willpower the vial and spill to break its contents. He does it on purpose, that he might be too sick that Ho-sung has to send him to the hospital, but it is not a picnic, he goes before Ho-sung finds the picture even attacks him.
Ho-sung leads the chief prosecutor to Tae-joon office to demand his voluntary withdrawal, because that is the only way they can shame the arrest of acting Attorney General.
[1945010vermeiden]
But Tae-joon looking about as oppressed as Jung-hwan in the interrogation room-says he sits bombs until Jung-hwan comes for him. Which is why the news that Jung-Hwan employs a crushing blow hospitalized, as it means Jung-hwan is not now to save his swooping around him.
Tae-joon left no choice but to take the pensions issue Ho-sung wrote, claiming that he would meet them for the press conference in the conference room down for him. Ho-sung can not help but smile victoriously when he struts out of the office.
"You kept your promise to me to make attorney general, and your promise to hang for ten minutes, while from an interrogation dangling room window. Jung-Hwan-ah, how can you not keep your promise this time to leave?" Tae-joon musing, sad as he opened the envelope with his speech ...
... only to find the memory card, embedded in a. Wait what ?
lightning to escape back to the moment when Jung-hwan got back into Ho-sung's car, not able. He had seen the envelope with Tae-joon speech and memory card hidden in a hurry inside, knowing that the folder and its contents would eventually make its way to Tae-joon. Jung-hwan, you sneaky bastard you.
So he ran out of Ho-sung intentionally throw him the track, making it seem like he could have hidden in the station. Tae-joon smiles that Jung-hwan kept his promise, after all, now they are the card to the press and finish this off.
If the chief of staff expresses hesitance when presenting the arrest Tae-joon directly after his retirement speech, Minister Yoon defended their actions as for the larger, well to be: "I'm going to show people that even those who are the same in high positions in the eyes of the law."
wears As Yeon-jin, the card at the press conference where Tae-joon is expected to keep his retirement speech, it can not help but think about how Jung-hwan kept his promise to help get them in the National Assembly, by her attorney, who stood up to the Minister of Justice and won.
But she also remembers the pain of predicting it would cause if he would eventually pass on this mortal coil, and says to himself with a tear running down her cheek: "I was really, Sunbae. "
Yeon-jin takes on the podium especially the present media and forwards it to the screen for its investigation results again: the attempted assassination of Ha Kyung.
No one has time before the blackbox video plays in the crime shows Minister Yoon and Ho-sung to respond. Even Minister Yoon to hear voice as she says Ho-sung, they now have to sin no more, that the chip is gone.
Ho-sung looks like he is crying ( yessss ), while Minister Yoon can watch horrified only by the Chief of Staff Office, as their crime is broadcast to see for the entire nation , Yeon-jin adds the nail in the coffin. That Minister Yoon tried Ha-Kyung to kill her son enlistment fraud to cover up
The media rages Minister Yoon and Tae-joon calls the chief of staff for permission to arrest requests before he is arrested himself in what his final act will be as attorney General.
the chief of staff gives him the green light and looks Yoon just as he had the self-righteous words she repeats it just spat: ".. We should show people that those in high positions in the eyes of law are equal "BOOM
Tae-joon has just enough time Minister Yoon to sign a warrant before the independent advice bats beat handcuffs on his wrists. He leaves the office for the remaining Kudzu root save empty his brother gave him, never to return.
Yeon-jin, the party Minister Yoon head office, where they are the warrant for attempted murder and reads them their rights. Minister Yoon tried to keep a cool and collected façade over it, but you can not hide the tears that continued to fall outs of their wide, shocked eyes.
Mom, Ye-rin and Dong-hoon make it eventually find on his deathbed to the hospital Jung-hwan. Mama takes his hand in hers. "Jung-Hwan-ah ... your mother is as proud of you no matter what people say, I'll tell them. 'Park Jung-hwan is my son I'm Jung-hwan mother.. My son ... My baby, "she cries.
"Dad, I love you. I love you, Dad." Ye-rin crying when she takes his hand and tried to reach him. "I love you Dad. Dad, I love you," she repeated over and over. "I love you so very, very much." Oh God. This is to handle too much at once.
Jung-hwan eyelids flutter in the slightest, he is unable to fully open it, but he has to look at her. A tear rolls down his cheek ...
... And then close your eyes, as his hand falls limp. No no no no no no. Not like that. He has to say goodbye. He did not even get to say goodbye!
The doctors tell Jung-hwan brain dead, to leave his family miserably whining at his bedside.
When Jung-hwan is rushed into surgery, the news reported that Minister Yoon is for their corruption with attempted murder and punished tries hard. Ho-sung has to cover up for the trial, arrested their crimes.
The operation is not his life, to save as there is for no more hope, but that to transplant his heart still living in the person who needs it most now: his wife. (I'll never be seriously able to end recap this when I can not stop long enough to enter to cry.)
First Tae-joon is confused when Yeon-jin in the interrogation room he is only a laptop and a bottle of soju leave. But when playing the video begins with shots Jung-hwan had her record before he left the hospital, Tae-joon knows what's going on.
There is not a last will, is to drink a video of Jung-hwan, who expects Tae-joon would watch after his arrest. And true with video form Jung-hwan, Tae-joon drinks, as if he really there. It is reminiscent scary (and deliberately so) its virtual jjajangmeyon date.
Jung-hwan bequeathed his collection of books to Tae-joon so will he have something for ten years he read in prison spending going on. Tae-joon can not help but marvel at how Jung-hwan never fails to keep every promise he made, although without Jung-hwan, he keeps his promise to bring him in prison could have done.
But still, Tae-joon is clearly affected by watching the video, even more so when Jung-hwan seemingly frivolous last words of advice: "the earmuffs did not look good on you. Put them not to. "he says with a beaming smile, that's kind of shocking to see now.
"Have the earmuffs like that much?" Tae-joon asks after the video ends. He fights back tears as he adds, "Every time it gets cold, as long as I'm alive, I'll make sure to put on these earmuffs and think of you goodbye, Jung-Hwan-ah.."
We learn (very literally) witnessed the moment Jung-hwan, the heart stops beating, because the chest was cut open by the surgeon. His time of death is officially declared before the transplant starts.
When we see the same Ha Kyung, she works as head lawyer for Minister Yoon and Ho-sung study. The defense asks for mercy because of Yoon thirty years of service to the law before they committed a crime, but ultimately it is up to Ha-Kyung.
lawyer Jung gives her a supportive smile from the field observation, before presenting the final piece of evidence has: the statement Jung-hwan gave before his death, knowing that if [otherwise1945014], it would be enough downward Minister Yoon keep
While it lists all crimes Jung-hwan and Tae-Joon and Minister Yoon, Ha-Kyung clarifies that Jung-hwan took responsibility for his decisions, but never done Yoon. She was strict on other while endlessly forgiving to be themselves and their crimes, and now it's time to pay.
But they can not leave Ho-sung, the used to be a just lawyer before he threw his lot with Minister Yoon. It demands 8 years for him, and Ho-sung nod as with sanctions and approves his sentence. Too late.
What Minister Yoon, who has never shown remorse for their crimes, Ha Kyung calls a life sentence.
Tae-joon and Kang-jae get their day in court, although we hear is only sentenced Tae-joon to ten years. Like Jung-hwan predicted.
Ho-sung gets 5 years from the eight-Ha Kyung asked while Minister Yoon gets without the possibility of parole 15 years. Ho-sung and Ha-Kyung share a quiet look before it is taken out of the courtroom.
But Ha-Kyung makes it a point Minister Yoon to stop in at one of her favorite phrases to repeat: "The law is equal for ... Jung-. hwan, and for you "
We see Mom a happy life with Hyun-sun and her new son live as the news about the persecution of all villains breaks. Tae-joon accepted his judgment, but Kang-jae planning appeal. (This is a scene, but did not appear in the original broadcast in the repetition.)
Ha-Kyung takes Ye-rin to the beach, where they Jung-hwan first said that she was pregnant, so technically , it is the first time her father hit her. She takes the book that she gave Jung-hwan for his birthday, where she had once written to it all his birthdays. wanted to be
We know his answer that, again followed as he determined to live at any cost. But the next page holds a new Passage Ha Kyung had not seen before:
My time is over
Ha Kyung-ah, it's your time [1945020live] Ha- Kyung-ah, a good life.
With my heart and your faith.
for the sake of world Ye-rin live in.
by Ye-rin screams from her father that she would keep her promise to live like her mother, she runs Ha . -Kyung loving arms again in both turning towards the sea, where Ye-rin waves and says: ". Goodbye, Dad"
COMMENTS
First things first: Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
punch come Even with the seemingly endless pile of respect I had for already in the final, I have to give credit where credit-although honor is traditionally difficult melodramatic used tropes relate to death, dying, and sacrifice, it never settled in his on getting bogged death. Yes, shaped die a substantial portion of our hero character sheet, but never even the fact that he would die really define who he was, what I find admirable and just a little bit brilliant.
And the very significant made choice of the show in away cemented so quietly it really slip with the idea, it is pushing all together already: it is not only our actions that define us, it is how we react , and-if necessary-reverse that really counts. Jung-hwan trip was as much as it was about cause and effect, to take responsibility, and justify the way in which people all sorts of terrible things to himself from the curtain can not change his relentless march towards this most final if they use ends -based thinking.
So in the end, despite careful personal preparation for Jung-Hwan member and all around him, his death was really just a small blip on the radar. I do not think that I have loved scene the hospital could be more than I have, no matter how traumatized it is going to leave me, only if, because they fit so (shocking) well with the overall message that we leave the way this world we came into it. This is just another way to reinforce the themes and ideas about causality revolving that this show so skillfully explored by a number of characters that are not easy to be if ever, forget.
But enough about that all lofty idealism is going into the philosophical ideas driving punch would an essay include I would not want to read. I should show itself treated tropes as the Truck of Doom and nothing says I love you like an organ transplant with such tact and determination on the path not have been surprised if I put it on drama country debt practically us Hardwiring ones to associate things with lazy grab bag storytelling. But the lazy writer would have switched the focus to be all about the transplant , when in reality it was as a major surgical operation as much downplayed how that could be.
Again, it was less to the action itself and more about the effects, which is why the choice is yours, not even aware of Ha-Kyung before the fact or to show it after counted looking for more than they would have to see in those moments. Jung-hwan last and selfless sacrifice allowed them to live to the end and see by what he could not. It took blood, sweat and tears to get any before a judge who deserves to be, and although there have been overcooked might and a little burned justice finally served. (Mmmm.)
Of course, any discussion of this show would go without his touch at least divided on the incredibly complex relationship Jung-hwan and Tae-joon completely that had and downs more than their fair share of ups. I loved, loved, loved that poignant final sendoff Jung-Hwan gave him, because it encapsulates everything that they were in the friends they made and the bitter rivals they were. Despite their differences, they never lost respect that they had for each other as a worthy opponent, which effectively isolated them and their trespasses from the likes of Minister Yoon and Ho-sung.
At least when Tae-joon lost, he did so gracefully, because he never he deceived himself into thinking once do the right thing. As Jung-hwan, he avoided responsibility for his decisions until he could no longer, and then stepped on the plate, because he knew exactly what he deserved. Also Ho-sung had a moment to get the punishment to be to accept, and even though that does not make him less every hateful, it has Minister Yoon repudiation or remorse more strongly by comparison. Or in other words, was this witch, what they deserve.
But to write to the danger a novel, because I'm not ready to leave from a show that actually invited and the most intensive control I resisted could give, is all that is to say for me yet is here punch . They were in a million
