@Twin: In a way, yes. I've read two versions, adapted and Disney (and we all know Disney doesn't do sad endings). Adapted version was in Chinese. :V You're talking about where the girl commits suicide because she can't bring herself to kill the prince, right?
EDIT:
@Mark: But you ran over me! D:
DDDDDD: Don't cry! DDDDDD:
*chases*
I don't watch it for the violence, I watch it for the psychology, deep thinking, true meaning, and relation to the real world. That, IMO, is what makes it so good.
