Duty After School recently concluded and it received a lot of negative feedback due to the way the live-action adaptation ended the series. But, are you aware that there are potential alternate endings to Duty After School?

DikshaG went through five different alternate endings.

  1. The Webtoon ending

    I haven’t read the webtoon, in the original ending, most of the main characters survived instead of the brutal and senseless ending the live-adaptation presented.

  2. It’s all a dream

    This is an ending which was hinted by the adaptation, an one that truly hate in any live-action fiction. I mean, why waste the audience’s time when it was all nothing but a dream? This route only works in novels.

  3. Gook Yeong Soo’s suicide

  4. The War Continues

  5. Killed by the Spheres

The other three potential endings? I invite you over to read Duty After School: Exploring Alternate Endings for the Heart-Wrenching K-Drama by DikshaG. You would probably pick one of those three other potential endings.

The YOOki (柳紀 ・ 유 기) Chronicles

The YOOki (柳紀 ・ 유 기) Chronicles is ᜌᜓᜃᜒ (Yuki ・ 雪亮)’s return into casual and personal blogging. The name “YOOki” is a mash-up of the acronym of YourOnly.One and my nickname ᜌᜓᜃᜒ (Yuki ・ 雪亮).

Interestingly, according to Chinese legend, 「柳」 (YOO) is an ancient Chinese surname. The ancestors of the surname were closely linked with the ancient sage-king named Yu Shun. In Korea, the 「유」 (YOO) lineage traces to the Xia, Han, and Joseon dynasties. Holders of the surname Yu or Yoo had a reputation for charity and diligence.1

It is also the word for “willow” or the “willow tree” which means graceful or slender; and a tree growing near a body of water which provide continuous nourishment and resources for everyone. It can also mean to exist, an oil (anointment(?)), and simply as “U” (you).

The hanzi 「紀」 (ki) character means to record, be disciplined, provide order. While the hangul equivalent, 「기」 (ki; gi), means energy, spirit, a banner, and a period of time; and is also a suffix used to make a gerund or an infinitive.

Can you guess what I mean by 「柳紀」 and 「유 기」 as the Chinese and Korean for “YOOki”?
