Join the club, actor Ryu Jun-yeol is not happy with ‘Reply 1988′ ending either

SEOUL (Yonhap) — Were you disappointed by the way “Reply 1988″ ended?
Actor Ryu Jun-yeol, who played one of the male leads, Kim Jung-hwan, in the tvN hit drama, is with you; the 30-year-old says he didn’t expect the sudden twist, which “Reply 1988″ fans accuse of being a cruel joke.
Spoiler alert: Ryu doesn’t end up with Deok-sun, the female protagonist and Kim’s long-time crush. Deok-sun, played by singer Hyeri, runs into the arms of his rival Choi Taek, who had been somewhat of a peripheral character at the beginning.
“If it were a real situation, I wouldn’t have given up on Deok-sun,” Ryu said on tvN’s “Taxi,” where celebrities share behind-the-scenes stories with cab drivers, Tuesday.
“Even in the show, I didn’t want to give up on her, but that wasn’t within my control,” he said. “I found out about the ending really towards the end. I hadn’t expected it at all.”
Ryu also said he could have played the role of Choi Taek, a “baduk” prodigy. “Baduk” is the Korean term for the board game Go.
“I told producer Shin Won-ho that I know how to play ‘baduk,’” he said. “He was surprised, so I asked him if I should play Taek. Shin said I should wait and eventually gave me the role of Jung-hwan.”
The 20-part series, extended by two episodes due to popular demand, concluded on Jan. 16.
It has set an all-time cable viewership record of 18 percent.
