Psst – I’ve got some spoilers ahead. It may or may not make you happy, but rather than rumors its definitive proof as to how the drama will likely end. You know you’ve got it bad when you’re on a bus, in the mountains, drifting snow outside, and you are desperately searching for a signal to get online. At least what happened to me was reasonable if not a sad homage to addicted drama fans the world over who happen to go on vacation the week your crack drama ends. The random bus scenes and Mae Ri on the mountain in episode 15 – that was all WACK! As pissed off as the preview for episode 15 of Mary Stayed Out All Night made me, I still wished I could recap it and discuss with everyone.
A few quick thoughts before I deliver the goodies: (1) DC Gall and Baidu was awash with fan speculation last week – none of it was actual production leaks, therefore not credible, so don’t let the crazy talk amongst angry fans or creative fan-fiction upset you, (2) I am mad not because the ending isn’t Mu Gyul-Mae Ri (it is, trust me, I’ve said it before and will keep saying it, this is their love story), but because the new writer really took their journey on an unnecessary and irrational detour to the foregone conclusion.
I hate that. I want both my ending and how they got there to be consistent and meaningful to watch. M3 lost me (and every viewer with a functioning brain) at the latter half. I can defend the first meandering and rather plotless half as the very charm of M3 for me. The last half became plot over character consistency and story development. But it’s all come to a end, and I am really sad. I know everyone came here to find a happy M3 haven, and I hope all the fans enjoy the ending (keeping my fingers and toes crossed) and have fun chatting about it here!
As an added bonus, have a very spoilerrific M3 pictures from today’s shoot in Hongdae. In case it’s not clear, Mae Ri sports a more mature look. I see time jump happiness for our Holiday Couple.
Have fun reminiscing about M3 and shooting the breeze (and any slings and arrows). A mediocre drama is very forgettable, and almost always its the truly great dramas that stay in our minds. With the exception of the train wreck dramas, where years from now I still make fun of fondly and with a snarky eye. Much as I love M3, this thing was a train wreck that I find myself happy to have enjoyed because it gave me my most awe-inducing couple of the year in Moon Geun Young and Jang Geun Seok. Captain of the Holiday ship – signing off for now!

Thank you so much Captain.
Yesterday i was literally pulling out my hear and crying like a baby while watching m3's 15 (specially at the scene when mg eats his mom food, saddest and very touching scene! the best for me). I actually kind of liked this epi, you know every drama has such an epi (several such epis in most dramas) and i understand that mg is tired, it's a little harder for me to understand mary an ji, yet i do. but this epi left me so sad and so craving for good news and hints of a happy ending, and then even if i though there would be no news in the playground, there are!!!!!
and i love it!!!!! :D
if the writer has some compasion to me she will solve everything wright away, and give us at least a 90% of cutesy between mary and mg. oh please writer do, i need it so badly
i love this drama so much, and mg and mary even more!!!! i know i will always rewatch it and love and enjoy it. i already miss it.
last thing: oh please writer don't let evil daddy, loser daddy and hateful mom end well, i wish them the most unhappy ending ever!!!!
"pulling out my hair" i mean
i have still been thinking KM will kidnap the groom from JI in wedding ceremony like Mariah Carey' "we belong together".it would be so nice. the scene is 2:17

ockoala, thanks so much for the pics! I've come by this far to see a happy ending for the OTP, so seeing the pictures, I would dare say I'm a tad relieved to how it may end tonight although I'll be curious to how they are going to get to this ending with all the wacky mess that was piled up in the previous episode
:D I hope you have a wonderful vacation! I agree they were a wonderful couple, still I'm glad that it is finished. I can hardly imagine what zany antics they would have been forced to go through if there had been 20 episodes. LOL Thank you for your wonderful recaps they have been so much fun.
lolz... I have a picture in my mind how you're moving your gadget around in the bus to catch the best possible signal just to post this ^O^ Thank you oh Captain of the Holiday ship... ^.^
And look at that! Mu Gyul was wearing the very thing he did the first moment they met. Awww, the memory of the fun-filled time... please, M&M, do one more mung mung-nyaong for good time sake ;)
Oh Ockoala! You're back! I so missed you!!! Everything was (er, and still is) crazy when you left us ha ha ha! MG gets the girl then huh! I don't know, I just felt so relieved. I just hope JI is just fine though (I love KJW but I just know he'll never get the girl, yet again. I just hope he will on his next project)...It's chaotic as of this moment you see... I don't think I could sleep without knowing the ending. Yes, crazy, crazy indeed! I'm just so glad you're back! It's really like a close friend just left...(yup, my real close friends are all so far away and now you too).
ockoala, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about MSOAN. we really enjoyed every single words of yours. very entertaining! :) and im looking forward for our holiday couple's sequel (would be great if on-screen and the greatest if off-screen!) ! i believe it will happen soon again but i can also wait like forever~
Thanks Captain you are STARS..for real
yes true MG is wearing the same set when they first met..but MR is changing her hair style!!
All the best MM Couple!
Captain you drop by.I have hope now.my prediction is they plot MG-MR have the typical drama,lets meet again after several year so thats why we have those picture although I hope that its now they are together and they give a year head preview where they still together but more happy with no burden.lets rejoice everyone
As much a train wreck as MSOAN was, it was one drama that kept me fully invested. I have never been this anxious over one drama as I have been over episode 15 and the upcoming episode 16. And while it wasn't the most well written show, it will always have a very special place in my heart as the drama that gave us the most amazing, fantastic, beautiful, adorable, incredible, jaw-dropping squishy couple that is Maeri and Mugyul.
I've been refreshing pages here, on Soompi and on Tudou for hours and will probably continue to do so until the final episode is said and done with and I will finally pass my judgement whether I will continue to love MSOAN to the end of time, or I'll never watch another Kdrama ever again. It's sad that you come to a point in the drama you love where you don't care anymore how the story will pan out as long as your beautiful couple end up together.
AGREE. It's so tragic that such a compelling relationship as Mae-ri, Mu-gyul, and Jung In had was wasted by the crazy writing. I'd be totally willing to watch this all over again if they did a remake next year...as long as the writing was better and KJW, JGS, and MGY were still playing their characters. Man, when I think of the unrealized potential of this drama...it makes me hurt inside. But thank goodness we still got a happy ending. I don't know if I could have lived through a sad one.
DOUBLE AGREE. If the show had a SANE writer, the show would have been a million times better, she doesn't even have to be a good one. Hell if the producer plucked a fangirl from some MSOAN website she would have been able to write a better, more cohesive plot to utilize the amazing cast she was blessed with. Heck, I nominate Ockoala to rewrite the show and make it as awesome as its two leads, and of course MGY, JGS and KJW would still be playing Maeri, Mugyul and Jung In, it would be blasphemous if they didn't
I was on my knees by the end. If the drama didn't end with Maeri and Mugyul, I would seriously have blown a fuse and refused to rewatch it anymore, even though the earlier episodes (and really ANY episodes Maeri and Mugyul are in) are as precious as My Precious /lame pun intended.
