| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- So Let Dai has ended. I don't really know what I feel about the ending. It wasn't particularly satisfying for me, but it wasn't like jaw dropping-ly awful. I really wish they gave a clear picture on what exactly happened to Dai and Jaehee. In my heart, i'll just believe they found each other, but still even my imagination needs a little push. And another question, why send pictures to a blind woman? And who exactly the hell was that dude? Man, I wish it ended better. |

| I think I understand what you felt for the ending. I felt kind of the same thing; not something terrible, but not something really... conclusive. Well, I really believe *or I really want to believe* that they found each other... we have some hints for this, like, when their friends are talking in the car, in the end, they say that Jaehee is doing well. I don't know if I'm right, but after reading the whole story, the only way for Jaehee to be 'happy' is with Dai. And in other way, after reading that message from Dai, we can assume that no matter how, they will always find each other. About the pictures, I really wished that we could see at least one of them... is so sad ;; But about that dude... until now I can't find an explication for him... sometimes I believe that he WAS Dai. It's not usual from Dai to tell all that things to another person that wasn't Jaehee, you know. Besides that, all the similarity with Dai was just too strange. In my head, after telling Jaehee about the letter, that 'guy' waited for him in the house and they went together to the US, or something like that... lol Well, the good thing about this kind of ending is that allow us to imagine all the things that we want, you know. And after all that, I think Let Dai is the most beautiful love story that I've ever read :') |

I really wish I saw some of them, then I could've come to a better conclusion about the ending. Oh I wish the last page of Let Dai was a picture of Dai and Jaehee~ that'd just be perfect! |
"I've read so much manga that at times my mind works in comic panels and dramatically expressed chibis. I'm both ashamed and amused by this." |
| I felt the same as you, guys. I know this final was perfect for the series, but I can't help my curiosity... Like you said, I also imagine they found each other, and I also think the cabin man was Dai. And I don't think he would want Jaehee to chase after him if he was already dead. There's just something that bothers me: the cabin guy was coughing, and he was wearing that mask. Could it be that Dai fell ill while he was in America? I think we'll never know the answers for our questions... but definitely, I agree that this is the most beautiful love story that I've ever read. Sorry for my bad English. |
Jessie said: There's just something that bothers me: the cabin guy was coughing, and he was wearing that mask. Could it be that Dai fell ill while he was in America? hm, I was just reading this again and thinking about the story... and now the more I think, more that guy in the cabin seems like Dai for me. ...the coughing and the mask, maybe that is some proof the guy was really Dai, he was wearing the mask to hide his face and used the 'sick' excuse for changing his voice, or something like that? oh god, all this time and I still think about this strange end and how great this story is... ^^' |

| The guy in the cabin has to be Dai. He's not the kind of person who tells others about his thoughts so freely. I believe his denial has a lot to do with what he told his dad before leaving - that he'd never return - and so when Jaehee asks if he was Dai, he denies it. In a way, the old Dai is dead, he's a new, rejuvenated, not-as-angsty Dai. Overall, though, this was just too much drama and felt a lot more like a soap opera than a teen coming-of-age story. It certainly is a coming-of-age story, but I just thought the whole it was overshadowed by a bit too much unnecessary drama. |
| When it comes to the excessive drama, I don't think it's like soap opera. I think it's like a greek tragedy or something like that. I like it, though :) |
| Maybe Dai was dying, and wanted to see Jaehee before he died... because he knew Jaehee wouldn't be able to live without Dai he sent Jaehee to America. Having a purpose like that, giving Jaehee something to do with his life (even if it's something so pointless as searching for a dead man), could lead him to a happier life than a life mourning Dai. Or maybe Dai wanted to escape his father, the drama, and the rest of Koera, so sent Jaehee to America so that he could follow him and they could live there peacefully? Or maybe the guy in the cabin wasn't Dai at all. Maybe it was his brother just trying to get Jaehee off of his back. Or maybe it really was just an old, sick friend of Dai's. What worries me most was all the foreshadowing of either Jaehee's or Dai's death. There was so much talk of one of them dying, or being 'dead' in a less literal sense. I think I would have been more satisfied if one of them HAD died, and the other had followed them (either literally, or how Dai described a 'dead life' without Jaehee). argh, how can an author leave us with so many questions like that? D; maybe she's just hoping for lots of fanfiction OTL i hope this gets made into an anime and they expand on the ending. |
| I just finished reading let dai for the 2nd time. I think i understand it a lot better this time. What I think: The guy at the cabin WAS Dai. Before, Dai is the reason the teacher Crangela lost her eye sight. Dai feels horrible for what he did to her. the cabin guy says so as well. Jaehee asks to see the cabin guy's eyes. The cabin guy tells Jaehee that is impossible. As sick as it sounds I think Dai must have destroyed his own eye sight as a way of atoning for his sin. Also cabin guy's hair looks to be blond, his voice is said to be low like Dai's, Jaehee describes him as having dark hands and a familiar body build. The guy also knows personal stories about Dai too well. The way the cabin guy hugs Jaehee at the end does not seem like a hug between strangers. Throughout the book at the begining of chapters there is random art showing what looks like Dai and Jaehee traveling. I think these pictures probably show what happened after they found each other |
| Yes I believe he was the man in the cabin as well, and as many do believe I think he harmed himself with his eyes somehow due to what he had happen to Crangela. But seriously this Manhwa killed me, I've never read a story that brought such deep emotion from me like this. |
AzukiPAN said: The guy also knows personal stories about Dai too well. The way the cabin guy hugs Jaehee at the end does not seem like a hug between strangers. They hugged?! I looked at my manhwa again but there weren't any hug scene between the cabin guy and Jaehee. D: |
 |
| They surely hugged when the guy was telling him about the note Dai left in the airport. And I'm sure they found each other. but holy hell it was so painful to read. I was crying through all the last volume scared shitless that something awful was going to happen. So fcking glad they are both alive, because as long as they are alive they will find each other. And be happy. But love is so painful. Always so painful. |
 I wish my english was better ._. |

| Loved the story, the art was also really great, it's just a pity that the end wasn't so solid, it could have been more clarifying but I really liked all of it in general ^^ really heartwarming story although really sad as well |

AzukiPAN said: As sick as it sounds I think Dai must have destroyed his own eye sight as a way of atoning for his sin. While that's certainly plausible, and very Dai, I can't help remembering the words Dai's father said to one of the guards. "And as we planned, you bring him to America and finish your duties before you return." He was really shocked by Miss Jin's loss of sight... Or more shocked by what Dai was capable of, I guess. Those words make me think Dai's father was responsible for Dai lost eyesight, if we are guessing correctly. AzukiPAN said: Throughout the book at the begining of chapters there is random art showing what looks like Dai and Jaehee traveling. I think these pictures probably show what happened after they found each other This. I hadn't noticed. Great eye and excellent observation skills. And it really makes me happy inside as it gives us more hints of Jaehee and Dai having found each other. <3 |

| Yeah, the ending was too vague. I really want to know who the cabin guy is for sure. It doesn't seem likely that Dai would tell someone his thoughts and feelings unless it was Jaehee, but also the way he spoke about Dai, it seemed like he was really another person. He even said things like how he is envious of Jaehee and that he liked Dai too. But I guess he could also lie by making up those things... I was also thinking that if the cabin guy is Dai, then he might've hurt his own eyes to repent, but then I reread the scene again, and when Jaehee first gets in the cabin, the cabin guy says: "Stop making that face. It's choking because you're throwing out too many questions at once". That means he can see Jaehee's face, so his eyesight must be okay right?? Of coarse it could be a mistake on the author's part. AUURGHH It doesn't seem that the ending was a tragedy for the two, but still, I would like to know more about the cabin guy and what happened to the two in America. |
| the author gives us open ending, like sakura gari probably. i believe that Jaehee reunite with Dai at the end. i hope so. the last message in the letter is pretty much a clue to me.. But am i the only one who deeply hate Yooneun?!! GODDAMMIT! FUCK THIS BITCH! She should be the one to blame for anyway this was a depressing read! i really hopw jaehee and Dai reunite! |

| the cabin guy is a cruel mystery, i certainly don't want to think of the possibility that dai might be sick or dying a lot says it's dai and a lot says it's not he was talking so openly about his feelings which was so unlike the dai we all know but then time passes and people change especially dai after the incident with miss jin i'm sure he felt that he wanted to change as for when they mentioned dai sending pictures to miss jin, it reminded me of some of the manga covers that had one or both of them seemingly in a foreign country(or not?) those covers always had me wondering if that's how this manga is going to end that is until i actually finished reading it i'm not satisfied about the ending but it's not absolutely horrible |
| I think the ending is amazing! Of course, at first it is a bit disappointing because we're all used to stereotypical good or bad endings, but I think this kind of open ending couldn't be better for this manhwa since Dai, as a person, is completely unpredictable :) |
| well I find the fact that Jaehee found the guy in cabin similar to Dai is suspicious since as being lover himself he should know the best about one another so he was probably not wrong and Dai is the type that does things his own ways. Like first time he came back to Korea to find Jaehee (when he found him sleeping in his bed) but that means the letter wasn't touched yet and so he still craved to be found by his lover and so he probably also wanted to encourage Jaehee to leave Korea and consider living in America like that as well since when leaving the house Dai told his father that he will never come back. Anyway this story brought so many feels and the ending could be better because we all are just guessing but I hope the end is right like they find each other and stuff ♡ we need such stories now days too since all is more focused on smut now. Not that I'm complaining but I do wish there would be more great plots too like this one ♡ *I'm having too many different feels* |
call me Riku-chan  |
| not satisfied with the ending. i think it was rushed, not "open-ended". seriously there is 15 volumes with a lot of dragged out moments and then the ending is just like bam! the cabin scene especially seems lackluster. was that Dai or not? i think it's Dai but then what's up with him being all sick and not even revealing himself to Jaehee? if it was Dai then why did he send him to America if he's already in Korea? so confused. and the idea that he took his own eyesight by the people above me doesn't make sense, how would he be able to get to the cabin all by himself with no eyesight? plus there's a scene where he tells Jaehee to not make a certain expression or something, meaning he saw his face it just makes no sense to me, but i guess it's kind of hopeless to wait for a sequel or something since this manga is already super old but overall, i did enjoy the manga to a certain extent. i came with high expectations and honestly was super disappointed initially. the beginning of the manga was very poor imo, but it got better with the chapters. i think the best parts of the manga were in the middle. towards the end it kind of became dragged out and dramatic for no reason, and then the ending was kinda shitty too. but i did enjoy some parts of the manga a lot, so there's that |

inhaler said: He always talked about how he loved Jaehee's eyes and how full they were. I think he just didn't want to give himself away, and making eye contact with Jaehee would capture Dai completely. Yo I never thought about that/made that connection before. I like this take |

I like this take I agree, that's pretty insightful. I don't understand a lot of things about this last chapter, so I'm so happy this thread exists lol. I've read through all of the answers here yet I still don't understand why, if the man at the cabin is Dai, he would send Jaehee to the airport to retrieve the note? I would like to believe the man is Dai - it's not that I'm doubting it's him - I'm just wildly confused on his intentions. I'd like to believe that Dai and Jaehee do get their happy ending, and I believe the manwha does allude to one. Someone earlier in the thread mentioned that they thought the ending was rushed, and I agree. While I do think it is possible to have an open ending that isn't rushed, I don't think this is the case. To a certain extent, the ending is good. It's bittersweet and emotional, just like the entirety of the story. A few more details and a little less confusion would've made a world of a difference. |

While I do agree that I would've liked the ending to be a bit more definitive, I also feel that of it was clarified any more it would lose the open ending-ness that it had. I like all the different takes and theories that people have come up with, and they wouldn't have existed if it weren't for the ending being the way it was. I personally like to believe that the splash photos of them throughout the beginning/ends of the chapters were photos of their travels throughout the world together after finding happiness with each other ahah. Although I haven't reread this manga in quite sometime, I should have another read of it tbh |
