'Pandora: A Fabricated Paradise' ended with a confusing ending. 'Pandora', which became a failure for Kim Soon-ok's division, finished with a viewership rating of 4.1%.
The final episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Pandora: A Fabricated Paradise', which aired on the 30th, highlighted the mystery as Pyo Jae-hyun (Lee Sang-yoon), who was thought to be dead, reappeared in front of Hong Tae-ra (Lee Ji-ah).
Jang Jang-jin (played by Hong Woo-jin) suffered serious burns on his face in the secret laboratory explosion caused by Pyo Jae-hyun, but fortunately survived. Hong Tae-ra decided to inflict a terrible punishment on Pyo Jae-hyeon. Together with Go Hae-soo (played by Jang Hee-jin), Jang Do-jin (Park Ki-woong), and Kang Jang-jin, they injected a chip into the back of Pyo Jae-hyun's neck to make it look like he was dead. And after cutting them off from the world, they inflicted pain in virtual reality. Pyo Jae-hyun did not know that it was a virtual reality and received a more painful punishment than dying in hell without Hong Tae-ra. Pyo Jae-hyeon, who forcibly experimented on and killed innocent people, suffered horribly.
Little by little, everything was falling back into place. Hong Tae-ra started a new life under her real name, Mun Ha-kyung. Hong Tae-ra and Go Hae-soo's 'Woman's', in which Hong Tae-ra and Go Hae-soo overcome their wounds and take a step forward, left a deep impression. Go Hae-soo said, “Promise me. I will forget all the nightmarish things that happened here. Forget that I was mean to you. “Next time, let’s see each other with a smile,” he said with a smile. Hong Tae-ra also hugged Go Hae-soo, saying, “Thank you so much for appearing in my life.”
Go Hae-soo and Jang Do-jin divorced and decided to remain friends. The tearful farewell of the two was sad. Jang Geum-mo (played by Ahn Nae-sang) refused to let her son Jang Do-jin visit the prison, unable to express her regrets, but held on with a fierce spirit, saying that she was not ashamed of her friend Go Tae-seon (played by Cha Gwang-soo), who caused her death so that he would have to pay for all his sins.
Min Young-hwi (played by Gyeon Mi-ri), who tried to get Geumjo by joining hands with Pyo Jae-hyun, still could not let go of his regrets. Due to a close fight between Min Young-hwi and Kang Jang-jin, an error occurred in the machine, and Pyo Jae-hyeon woke up from the virtual reality. Min Young-Hwi met a miserable end while trying to stop Pyo Jae-Hyeon from running towards Jang Jang-Jin.
Pyo Jae-hyun, who escaped, ran away. He kidnapped Go Hae-soo and lured Hong Tae-ra. Hong Tae-ra was relieved that Go Hae-soo was safe, and Go Hae-soo prayed to Pyo Jae-hyeon to save Hong Tae-ra, who was in danger again because of him. When Pyo Jae-hyeon pointed a gun at Hong Tae-ra, he said, “Just kill me.” Mr. Jaehyun. That's what you want. You can't do it without me. So, let’s die here together,” he said, throwing himself to destroy Pyo Jae-hyeon. Pyo Jae-hyun said, “Then I think Ji-woo will hate me so much. Tae-ra, am I a bad person to you too? Sorry. I found out too late. What is it like to live a life where you can’t choose? I just wanted to make you happy. I wanted to see it up close one last time. “Hong Tae-ra, whom I loved,” he said, and met his own end.
A few years later, Hong Tae-ra found happiness with her daughter Pyo Ji-woo (played by Kim Si-woo) in Switzerland. But there was a twist until the end. The burn scars he suffered during the bombing of the secret laboratory had completely disappeared from the face of Jang Jang-jin, who came to visit Hong Tae-ra. Instead, there were large wounds on his body that had somehow been caused by lightning. It was the same as the wound caused by lightning the night Pyo Jae-hyun killed Hong Yu-ra (Han Soo-yeon). At that moment, the person reflected in the mirror was not Jang Jang-jin, who had been smiling kindly just a moment ago, but the cool Pyo Jae-hyun. Hong Tae-ra's shock at seeing the eerie smile of Pyo Jae-hyun, whom she thought was dead, left behind a mystery.
