1. When Younger Hwa tries to fake that none of that is actual
Even after Do Ha’s grand reveal that he isn’t Jun Oh, Younger Hwa’s in full denial. She refuses to consider that she’s had a ghost hooked up to her for therefore lengthy (by way of 19 reincarnations!) and is horrified to listen to that he was the rationale she thought she was going insane as a toddler. Younger Hwa tries to rationalize every little thing, calling Jun Oh a stalker and downing her meds so she by no means desires of her previous life once more. However when that doesn’t work, she’s compelled to face the reality. And it isn’t fairly.
She factors out to Do Ha that he’s been clinging to her for years and induced her severe psychological trauma all as a result of he doesn’t know why he died, however there are many individuals who die every single day. Gradual deaths, fast deaths, deaths which can be by no means solved. However not all of them select to latch onto somebody for 1,500 years to destroy her life and take her dream of being stationed in Antartica from her simply so he can work out what occurred to him. She tells him that she’s finished and storms off. And that hits Do Ha deeply (Kim Younger Dae all the time appears to play such empathic males!). He watches the information and sees all of the deaths on the planet and wonders why his soul remains to be caught to Younger Hwa’s. Granted, she doesn’t know that he doesn’t have a alternative, and he doesn’t need it this fashion both. He thinks that she actually won’t ever see him once more, however life has a humorous means of intervening.

He awakes to seek out Soribu gloating that he killed Ri Ta, and Do Ha has lastly had sufficient. He vows to now not dwell as Soribu’s son. Soribu threatens to have him slaughtered, however Do Ha genuinely seems to be relieved on the thought. She was the one factor he lastly needed to dwell for, and with out her, he has little interest in life.
Then, Soribu reveals that Ri Ta is alive. He finds it hilarious, and Do Ha and Ri Ta know why too. Do Ha has simply revealed his weak point, and by controlling that weak point, Soribu can management Do Ha. Soribu kills everybody who is aware of Ri Ta’s true identification and calls for that Do Ha marry Ri Ta. If he doesn’t, he’ll reveal Ri Ta’s identification and have her tortured and assaulted. Do Ha and Ri Ta don’t have a lot of a alternative. Ri Ta hates it, figuring out that Do Ha goes to must commit atrocities simply to maintain her secure. She asks why she must be Do Ha’s cause for residing and why he can’t simply let her be tortured and killed. However they each know the rationale. When Do Ha is compelled again into battle with out having an opportunity to recuperate from his accidents, she’s the one who waits for him each night time. And when he returns and collapses of fever, she’s the one who takes look after him for days on finish. And when she finds his dagger and has each probability to kill him whereas he’s comatose, she will be able to’t deliver herself to do it.
Do Ha realizes the prospect he’s missed when he wakes up and finds himself not lifeless. He asks her why she didn’t kill him, however she wonders if he may know of how she’s speculated to dwell now. Killing him was speculated to be her cause, however she will be able to’t do this anymore, and maybe he, who took an arrow for her, may need the reply. Proper now, the truth that he’s alive looks like the one cause she will be able to endure every little thing. Do Ha visibly tears up, and the 2 look so forlorn however so glad to have one another within the midst of every little thing. And Younger Hwa wakes up with the conclusion that every little thing is not okay.
3. Do Ha and Younger Hwa attempt to fake that they really feel nothing for one another
Not solely are Ri Ta’s reminiscences bleeding into her life, however her emotions for Do Ha are doing the identical. Realizing that Jun Oh and Do Ha are the identical particular person isn’t serving to as a result of she will be able to see the stoic man who clearly adored Ri Ta in him each single day. When Han Min Oh (On Joo Wan) calls her to Do Ha’s place on an errand, she comes a lot to Do Ha’s shock. They apologize to one another like adults (yay, communication!), and he or she guarantees to maintain dreaming and to seek out out why he died. From then on, it’s like a change has flipped. Do Ha relaxes in her firm as a result of he doesn’t must fake. And he or she realizes that having a 1,500 year-old spirit round her meant she was by no means alone, even in her worst moments.
She tries to get Do Ha to recount varied elements of historical past he witnessed, however he insists that these 1,500 years all blended collectively for him. However when she asks him to recount varied elements of her life, he remembers every little thing. Younger Hwa’s moved on the realization that Do Ha by no means stopped caring and by no means meant to hurt her. He simply couldn’t assist being caught right here.
However each cute couple wants a killjoy, and Jung Yi Seul (Jung Shin Hye) is in the way in which. Now that Younger Hwa is aware of that Jun Oh is Do Ha, she is aware of that there’s nothing between Do Ha and Yi Seul, however that doesn’t cease Yi Seul from forcing a really unwilling Do Ha into picture ops and staged paparazzi photos for his or her PR relationship. For his half, Do Ha retains telling himself that he has to kill Younger Hwa (and is hiding this truth from her) however retains making an attempt to persuade Younger Hwa that she’s means prettier than Yi Seul and stares at her just like the moon rises on her face. When Goo Tae Joo (Jung Heon), who attacked Younger Hwa, is discovered suspiciously lifeless, Do Ha’s protecting mode goes on, and he begins accompanying Younger Hwa all over the place—all the way down to an amusement park. It’s essentially the most enjoyable he’s had actually in his total life, and Younger Hwa sadly wonders what it may have been like if Do Ha and Younger Hwa met as common individuals with out so many political strings hooked up to them.
It isn’t clear what kind of ending we’re being arrange for as a result of Do Ha deserves to dwell a full and glad life, however the physique he’s in makes that not possible. And his longtime enemy has set every little thing in movement once more.
4. When Min Oh tries to fake that he isn’t suspicious of Do Ha
There appears to be one thing secret pertaining to Younger Hwa’s thirtieth birthday that we aren’t but aware about as a result of the stab wound the place Ri Ta killed Do Ha is rising increasingly more seen on his pores and skin. It’s to the purpose the place even Younger Hwa’s seen it. And another person has too. Han Min Oh has been weirded out by how totally different his brother is for a while now. And when he will get a name from his ex-enemy Seok Chul Hwan (Jung Woong In), claiming to have solutions, he goes to listen to him out. He has no concept that Chul Hwan is possessed by Soribu however can’t assist however purchase it when Soribu insists that Jun Oh has been possessed by an “evil spirit.” Soribu asks Min Oh to check Jun Oh on one thing that solely the true Do Ha would know. Min Oh does. And Do Ha fails. Do Ha does have entry to a few of Jun Oh’s reminiscences however clearly simply didn’t care sufficient to really undergo them and never in nice element. So Min Oh returns to a gleeful possessed Chul Hwan who exhibits him an unsightly wound in his chest and says that that’s the mark he received when he was possessed however that the ghost is now gone. He says that the spirit possessing Jun Oh is the rationale for his most cancers and that the one method to eliminate the spirit is to kill Younger Hwa. Min Oh buys every little thing. To his credit score, he does look into treating Jun Oh in the US however is met with refusals as a result of Jun Oh’s physique is just too riddled with most cancers to heal. And Min Oh begins to take homicide very severely.
This isn’t going to be good! The wound Soribu’s sporting should have been the one which killed him 1,500 years in the past. The truth that each he and Do Ha are round posits that they might have been watching over Younger Hwa’s incarnations this entire time. Do Ha makes an offhand remark on the amusement park’s funhouse, saying that he’s seen spirits do some horrifying issues. May it’s that Soribu has been killing Ri Ta’s incarnations off earlier than she hits 30? And why is that quantity related?
The following episode exhibits Do Ha seemingly awakening to the truth that he’s falling exhausting for Younger Hwa and never wanting her to see the reality: that Ri Ta killed him. He tells her that she doesn’t have to dream anymore, however neither Younger Hwa nor Ri Ta have ever listened when somebody warned them off. Is a cheerful ending attainable between these two this time round? We will solely hope!
