    Embracing The Sun ends! When I am going to smile for the happy ending of Lee Hwon-Yeon
    Woo then I suppose to cry for YM-NK-Seol’s death.
    But when I am going to cry for the sad ending of them then I smile happily for Lee
    Hwon-Yeon Woo… Huh…. Mixing feelings… Maybe MoonSun drama will linger in
    my mind for a long long time… Best drama I have ever seen! Goodbye &
    thanks so much for the drama! I will miss the drama and
    this exciting time so much! I think it’s very hard to have such a chance like
    this! If I have to say just 1 word for TMETS, that will be
    UNFORGETTABLE! I’ve really fallen in love with it and
    now it’s very hard for me to realize that
    this is the end. I like everything there, the idea, the actors, their
    characters, soundtracks. I will miss them very very much. The worst thing is
    that I am not able to watch any other dramas… 
    There is no drama that can feel the emptiness :((( There is no King like
    Hwon. No prince like YM. No beauty like Yeon Woo. No hero like Woon. No funny
    man like HS. I hope I will find something that will interest me, but I am not
    sure that “something” will be better than TMETS! ♥

    Maybe there will be no longer a King like
    Hwon, a prince like YM, a beauty like Yeon Woo, a hero like Woon, a funny
    man like HS & other characters in the drama. No! Empty now! I hope I will find something that can interest me, but I am not
    sure there will be “other dramas” touch me than TMETS! ♥
