okay let me just say that to me that ending feels bittersweet but honestly? i think it suits this show because i cant seem to put my foot down on how else it should’ve ended. ryeon’s and joongil’s storyline is honestly realistic (i guess to a certain extent) because their thread is severed and him acting out to defend her due to his pride etc. makes sense? he’s willing to take the hit for her not because of old feelings but because he knows he caused ryeon to act up and i guess that’s on brand for him. honestly would have been nice to see if they have any inkling of feelings for one another (which i personally feel that they do) but i’ll take it i guess :””)

overall, i’d give the show a 7.6/10. the show clearly intended to address real social issues, albeit falling short sometimes (i.e. the surface level pep talk when addressing suicide, no representation of getting medical help like therapy etc.), i still do think that it’s a solid effort to raise awareness especially considering how domestically mental health etc. is viewed. it’s not easy to find a good balance between moving the plotlines of the permanent characters while also juggling with the issues they want to tackle every episode. domestically, heck even regionally, coming from someone who lives in asia, mental health is still a topic that people skirt around. so i understand why the writers don’t fully delve into it on a deeper level because there is still a stigma surrounding it. still, a solid effort in trying to raise awareness about it i guess.

i definitely have more on my mind about it but it’s really late and i need to sleep 😭 good job to everyone that worked on this show, your efforts have been fruitful!

omg this scene has so much potential for ✨communication✨ to talk things out, after 400 years of misunderstanding, they are finally on the same page 😭but no. they just made her turn around and walk out...do they not have feelings for each other anymore 🥺

Overall wasn’t a bad ending, ended w nice positive msges, like how at the end of the day, as much as it’s damn bloody tough, we are the only ones who can save ourselves. And like junwoong, we dont need cool ass grim reaper powers to help someone see a reason to live again, be kind to people, don’t turn a blind eye to cries for help, even tho it’s not as easy and straightforward irl, tomorrow did make quite a good attempt at bring these msges across

i wished there were more jung-ryeon fluff tho T^T the whole jung-ryeon resolution felt so rushed, esp w 14? episodes of breadcrumbs, angst and tension build up (and marinated over the past few weeks), having just a couple of minutes to resolve 400 years of issues ain’t enough man.. i get that over-emphasis on the romance aspect would bring attention away from the main point and message of the show, but my heart is dying for more jung-ryeon chemi, esp seeing how they bring out the best in each other when they shared a life together, can’t we have a spin-off ep for jung-ryeon hahaha 

i guess it’s time to head over to ao3 to satiate my crave for fluff hahaha

[baboomzz]

Anybody else thinking since junggil was demoted to being a mere employee, he would be recruited as the new temp member of the RM team, esp since junwoong left

i rly wanted that to happen so badly T^T cue jung-ryeon working tgt with junggil at ryeon’s beck and call, interacting just as they did all those years ago, omg and imagine the reaction from his escort team and other jumadeung heads muahahahaha

Moments from ep 16 that just made me go kyaaa

- submissive and breedable jonggil *deep breaths*

- “ryeon-ah~” [I was hoping for a “부인 bu-in” esp when ryeon turned and walked out, but i guess not hahaha]

- dope bgm when jade emperor brought the entire gang of jumadeung heads to back jonggil up against ha dae soo, aka korean johnny depp 

- junwoong doing exactly what the RM team does even when he doesn’t rmb being in the RM team bc this is part of who he innately is [yazzz you go boi~]

Buahahahaha

I have so much to say about this ep, but i can't write words about it without clowning myself, so I'll just say poor Ryung-gu..

And joongryeon's love language is definitely choking

Ryeon really underestimated the influence she had over Joong Gil when they were married. Despite the moments where we see Joong Gil being caring towards others, he is a very black and white thinker who has difficulty seeing the grey in things without someone there to push him and challenge him to see an alternative point of view.

Joong Gil’s mother was somewhat right when she said it was Ryeon’s fault that Joong Gil became a military officer. While Ryeon didn’t force Joong Gil to do that, it was because of her that he ultimately did so. She was the one who called him out for not seeing the worth in commoners, which ultimately gave him the opportunity to see their humanity. All the events that resulted from that initial challenge was what pushed him to make the choice to become a military officer. If Joong Gil would have never met Ryeon, there’s no way that he would have joined the military.

Because Ryeon never really understood that, of course, she wouldn’t have been able to understand that the second commoners turned against her, all of Joong Gil’s loyalty towards them would have gone out the window. It makes sense why she wouldn’t think that, but I do think things would have been a lot different if she would have understood the depths of devotion Joong Gil had towards her and her opinion on things.

they are both walking through the hallway they say nothing when they just pass by each other ryeon's face is as usual a bit disappointed the camera still hadn't moved from her face and suddenly she hears from behind her bu-in and just freezes in her place because the realisation hits her like the truck of doom

joong-gil becomes a depressive drunk after ryeon dies

i come up with the saddest headcanons while brushing my teeth

I will not apologize for this

[baboomzz]

“My wife.”

[baboomzz]

the true tragedy of koo ryeon and park joong-gil is how they did the unforgivable and lost themselves while telling themselves that they were doing it for the one they loved.

joong-gil killed the people he swore to protect for koo ryeon.

and in turn, koo ryeon, who would have never taken her life because up until the end she never blamed herself for what she went through, ended up doing so anyway, not to escape her shame, but because she blamed herself for being the reason the one she loved turned into the person they never wanted him to be.
