  1. No sad ending ever has improved a good drama-
    I do not understand the scripwriters ending a good intertaining show by killing off one of the main stars!!!
    This happened in Iris and it totally messed up a great drama as far as im concerned!
    I dont expect everyone to agree but i am sure theres more viewers out there that would have been extremely happy if the ending was different !
