iaria+ Man-wol's confrontation with Chung-myung was disappointing tbh. I was expecting so much more from it considering all the build up. Even with Man-wol putting all her grudge into the ornament, even with the new memories changing some of her perceptions of the past, even with all the changes she'd gone through since meeting Chan-sung it still felt... meh.
+ I was disappointed that we didn't see Man-wol interact with Young-soo and Mi-ra while they remembered their past life. I wanted a Yeon-woo/Man-wol reunion! They both deserved it!
+ I loved Chan-sung and Man-wol's tree confrontation. I loved his declaration that he'd be the man she hates but if she wanted to vanish she'd have to kill him.
+ Man-wol choosing to deal with thinking Chan-sung was Chung-myung by giving Ji-won all her malevolent energy knowing he would go after Chan-sung while also believing Mago would protect him which would then lead to her vanishing was a lot. I rather love the turn around on the situation, if he was Chung-myung, - her dying via suicide, in a way using him as the weapon, knowing that it would hurt him and being painfully resigned to that knowing she couldn't stand to see him dead. I love it honestly.
+ I loved Chan-sung tricking Ji-won into giving up the moon ornament
+ I liked Seo-hee turning Ji-won over to his victims.
+ I liked that Man-wol's last punishment was to see Chung-myung's spirit off. That felt appropriate.
+ The truth about Chung-myung was once again slightly different then expected. I thought he did everything to save Man-wol but it was initially to save his family and men from being killed. I'm not even sure if keeping Man-wol alive was even an option before his talk with Yeon-woo? It seems like he did, certainly he decided not to tell her his truth because of Yeon-woo. Which doesn't make it any less dumb but overall I still feel really bad for him, maybe more so, because he was trying to save a lot of other people and did his best to save as many of Man-wol's people too.
+ Song-hwa also proved to be a bit different in that I figured she orchestrated everything out of jealousy and to finally get Chung-myung but instead it was her acting to save Chung-myung from her paranoid father.
+ Poor Chan-sung breaking down into helpless sobbing at the bus stop.
