I don't think we talk enough about the scene when Junmo calls the HQ to report that Gicheol's been "caught". He's clearly struggling to keep his voice even, his eyes are welling up with tears and he cannot even look at his wife. And then we get that fucking shot of his hand, a close up on his wedding ring and then the camera pans down onto his wrist, on which sits the watch given to him by Gicheol.
Like what the fuck am I supposed to make of this? What the fuck am I supposed to make of Junmo's little smile when Gicheol tells him "When I look at you, I see myself"??
What the actual fuck am I supposed to do when after spending the entire goddamn series relentlessly pursuing only one goal—arresting Gicheol—Junmo couldn't bring himself to do that in the end?
"Why did you let me go?" and Junmo has no answer. Just why the fuck did you let him go Park Junmo?
"To protect the two of you, I let go of everyone I had" Gicheol says it out loud, Junmo's goes unsaid. Because he too let go of everyone he had–euijeong, do young–his entire previous life.
"Why did you let me go?" "I wanted to protect you, too."
