LOver's ending... 

4) Two years later, Carlo had already released his first car as a president, Vivian is still studying in Paris, and Martin is still away from home but he calls up his uncle to let him know he's in good hands. He has come to terms with the fact that Vivian loves Carlo and not him. It appears that the three didn't have any contact with each other in that span of time. Carlo decides to follow Vivian to Paris. He works as a mechanic and lives a very simple life in Paris (he wants to experience how to live a life like that of Vivian). It took quite a while before the two meets at the same fountain where Vivian always wished. They go out to talk about the past as they sat by the River Seine. Now here's where the confusing part comes in: The next scene, a voice over sounding like "Vivian" was heard, narrating how a certain "Vivian" came to Paris, excited about her new life. "Carlo" was also introduced in this scene as the man "Vivian" falls in love with later on. The next scene shows "Vivian" (the narrator), typing her literary masterpiece in a laptop (the place looks eerily familiar 'coz it's the same apartment in Korea that Carlo earlier in the series rented for himself). She then realizes the time and goes out of the house in a hurry. Apparently, she's a maid of a multi-millionaire businessman ("Carlo"). She steps into one of his eyeglasses and leaves a note for him after fixing it. Outside, near the elevators, she sees a newspaper and reads the frontpage article of a "Cinderella in Paris". The article says that Carlo Han and Vivian Kang gets a happy ending in Paris (they had just gotten married). She expresses her happiness for the couple and puts the newspaper back in place. The next few scenes up until the ending are fairly similar to the first episode of the series when Carlo and Vivian met (remember the cigarettes?). Confusing right? Now, for the explanation: There were three pairs of Vivian and Carlo presented in the last episode. Although they all look alike, they are not playing the "same characters". The first pair is the pair we have been following all throughout the series. Their last scene is along the River Seine. So what happened to their story? Remember the newspaper article? Eventually, according to the newspaper, they got married. The second pair (the ones that appear right after the River Seine scene) are fictional characters who appear in the novel the third Vivian was writing. The third Vivian and Carlo pair are the last to be presented in the episode. They appear fairly similar to the first pair except for a few details: Vivian 3 is a budding novelist(vs. Vivian 1 who was an aspiring director), the stuff she sells here are not cigarettes but teddy bears and she wears eyeglasses. Carlo 3 is still a car businessman but there is no "martin" in his life (the frame is absent on his desk) and take note of this: he wears black shoes while the first Carlo wears brown shoes all throughout the series! The setting is also diff. (Korea and not in Paris). But everything up to the moment Vivian drives his car for him was the same. The series ends when they meet. I think the message of this story is that a Cinderella-like love story can happen to anyone. Para kasing ang nangyari, as one love story ends (Carlo 1 and Vivian 1), another one begins (that of the new [third] Carlo-Vivian pair).

At least, I was able to understand or else i would keep on wondering forever...cute pa rin ang story.
