Japan succeeds in crushing my soul again.

uiscerosOMG Japan! I have no words. NO WORDS.
So I'm watching Cheap Love, and I'm about halfway through, and really liking it. And because I'm impatient, I decide to watch the ending. It's how I do things.
And HOLY SHIT! They're all running from the law, and stuff, but then it finally gets resolved, and it's a year later, and they're happy. Nanami just found out she's pregnant, and she wants to tell Junichi when he gets home. Even Ryo and Juri are happy (she's pregnant too!). And then as Junichi is walking home with the Christmas cake (DID I MENTION IT'S CHRISTMAS?!), he gets fucking STABBED by some guy (it might be Nanami's old fiance, or possibly the guy who framed him for killing Chinese people... I'm not too sure on that plot point, but I'm not too sure) with this HUGE ASS KNIFE (no tiny pocket knives here).
And as Junichi is DYING ON THE STREET IN A PILE OF GARBAGE, he lights the candles on the Christmas cake, while yelling out Nanami's name. AND THEN WITH HIS OWN BLOOD HE WRITES "I love you" ON THE CAKE BOX.
CREDITS! Image from happier times are show, all superimposed with THE IMAGE OF HIM DEAD ON THE STREET. There's even snow.
(There is a thing at the end, showing Nanami and her son, so it's not totally soul-crushing...)
OMG. JAPAN! And here I thought I was safe from those crazy surprise endings with you. I should have known better. Look at what you did to baby!Yamapi is IWGP. Older jdramas are intense, man. Intense and fucked.
