I think you are absolutely right! The fact they were sisters only bothers me a little. In my opinion, 49 Days was written perfectly in almost every way but one...And this is it. Maybe they wanted to keep up their good track record of springing really great plot twists on the audience? but I think with this one plot point it was too huge to not give us more of a story set up. It feels contrived...feels almost forced to try and make things even more tragic and touching then they already were.

My point is:

You can tell a story where the audience is clued in but the characters are not. Part of the fun is watching them figure out what you already know. (which is mostly how 49 days unfolded for us as the audience) ~~ Or you can tell a story where the audience isn't as clued in and half the fun of watching is waiting for those clues be revealed. (For example: the movie Memento) But to just switch the game for only one plot element made the fact that Ji Hyun and Yi Kyung were sisters feel like a tacked-on story element added last minute, even with that vague clue mentioned in Episode 1.

im on a rewatching mode with my aunt watching it for the first time..... so im noticing some little plot points (maybe metaphoric or subtle in a sense) w/c makes the finale reasonable......

but im worried if she will satisfy in the outcome or not

at first, i was hesitant to watch this drama coz i thought it was a tearjerker. and it bothers me for days getting sad and depressed thinking about the drama.. so i usually follow it up with a romcom. but im loving 49 days so far. im in ep 10 and Mr. Scheduler cracks me up. i love watching Jung Il Woo in this kind of drama. How can Mr. Reaper/Scheduler so damn cute and handsome.

On a dramathon to finish this drama in three days!

i will try to answer w/out spoling it for you too. ****it really depends on your definition of happy. i didnt think it was particularly sad, but it was unfortunate for some characters****

I agree, unlike many people I liked the ending in general.
