The Best Hit finale with happy ending for all.

As viewers sit gripping to their chairs watching the final episodes of KBS variety produced drama 'The Best Hit' 최고의 한방, viewers were shown Yoo Hyun Jae/Da Bong (played by Yoon Shi Yoon) is determined to find out why he mysteriously disappeared in 1994 and kept receiving messages in his beeper with the secret code at a certain date along with time.

Kwang Jae (played by Cha Tae Hyun) is busy setting up his management company is totally occupied with debuting Ji Hoon (played by Kim Min Jae) and Drill as a duo group. 
Surprisingly idol star MJ (played by Cha Eun Woo) has got out of his contract from Star Punch Entertainment joined World Entertainment as an inspiring songwriter.

Hyun Jae figures out that he needs to exist in the past in order for Ji Hoon to exist presently. He agrees and decided to spend some time with Woo Seung (played by Lee Se Young) before returning back. The happy moments didn't last long as Hyun Jae travelled back to the past in year 1994 where he ended up in the hospital. He discovered that the 1994 Hyun Jae is about to commit suicide near the lake thinking he has an incurable illness.  CRIKEY! What illness did Yoo Hyun Jae succumb to? TB? You poor fella... 

Rather than to hurt those around him, he converted some money into cheques and bought heaps of shares in the current electronics company for Grandpa Soon Tae. Hyun Jae/Da Bong rushes back in time to rescue out the sickly pale looking Hyun Jae. He even showed him Ji Hoon's photographs and how smart his son is. Time was ticking fast so Da Bong quickly grabbed sick Hyun Jae to the roof top, ensuring him that his illness can be cured in year 2017. He intends to send Hyun Jae to the future to prevent himself from being dead.

 But Hyun Jae insists that he belongs to the current time, not 2017. He has unfinished business that he needs to complete. He is thankful that Da Bong came back to and tell him about Bo Hee and Ji Hoon. He hands over his bracelet for his son and sends Da Bong back to the future. For some time Woo Seung lived alone without Hyun Jae and missed him terribly. Ji Hoon learned to let everything go seeing things won't work out with her. He and Drill debuted on stage successfully thanks to the song tweaked by Hyun Jae and the choreography.

It is funny to see the pouty Young Jae who lost MJ to World Entertainment is still maintaining his grungy friendship with Kwang Jae who is then married happily to Bo Hee. Grandpa Soon Tae is fighting his dementia with little Mal Sook registered as Bo Hee's daughter. Not long Hyun Jae returns to the future to meet up with Woo Seung and promised not to leave. He is probably better off adjusting to the life in 2017. Kwang Jae is glad to see Hyun Jae again but wonders if he can time travel whenever he likes. Hyun Jae blurts out he will never do that anymore as he nearly end up in death bed! Kwang Jae tells him not to go anywhere and to grow old together. 
Aww....
Ji Hoon met up with Hyun Jae to learn more of his 1994 father in the past while receiving the bracelet. 

Present 1993 Hyun Jae/Da Bong has time travelled to the 2017 to change himself for better, learn to be more caring and forgiving. So the twin typhoons must have split up two Hyun Jae into two different times- something in scientific term we called it parallel universe : the hypothetical self-contained reality co-existing with one's own. 
And for weeks, we were left debating whether Ji Hoon is really Hyun Jae's biological son which turns out to be true because the 1994 Hyun Jae really dated Bo Hee and left them after finding out about his 'lifestyle illness'. After all there wasn't a real villain in the drama which caused Hyun Jae's mysterious disappearance. 


Lesson to learn: - if we could really time-travel and learn from our mistakes, be a better person and lived life to the fullest- perhaps it wasn't a bad idea. Everyone deserves a chance and when the opportunity comes along, we should grab onto it and live with no regrets. Who knows it could be the best hit in out life? 

Ah... what can I say- Yoon Shi Yoon did a fine job in delivering the two characters of Yoo Hyun Jae/Da Bong. In some ways he can be childish yet adorable. With his goofy smile and boyish looks, he can anytime pass out as a young idol- well he is still an elder hyung to Kim Min Jae.

Cha Tae Hyun and Lee Deok Hwa have cooperated together this round as a manager-friend relationship which makes it funnier. With various cameo appearances from actor Jang Hyuk, 2 Days 1 Night cast members, gag people- the drama turns out to be likeable. Other supporting roles from Lee Se Young and Cha Eun Woo, they are were perfect icing on the top of the drama.

For weeks we have learned and grow together with three-Jae "Hyun Jae, Kwang Jae and Young Jae" from the 90's to the 2017, it is hard to let them go... we are all gonna miss them.
Love the OST from the drama as well contributed by Yoon Mi Rae, Punch and Kyuhun. 

I give thumbs up (da bong!) for the drama even though viewers' ratings were not that great but it was a first time collaboration between Cha Tae Hyun and PD Yoo Ho Jin. Well done.
