iariaEpisode 15
+ Chan-sung going back in time was fun enough. I do wish he'd learned something new while doing it but I loved that he immediately fell back into his usual role with Man-wol, and I loved that it was him who turned her onto her love of food.
+ The group hug at Man-wol's return and the group photo session were really sweet.
+ Man-wol dumping the Moon drink was very symbolic but it made me face palm. I feel like Mago would like that back!
+ It's too bad that a little time hadn't been spent on Yoo-na building relationships with the rest of the cast and not only Hyun-joong. I was feeling that lack a lot in this episode.
Episode 16
A really lovely and fitting finale to an enjoyable series.
+ I love that Man-wol and Chan-sung have met before - that Chan-sung's previous self saved Man-wol as a child, and that was why Mago chose him to save her at the end of her life. Full circle. I love it.
+ I really loved that the show had everyone go to the afterlife. It was bittersweet and their goodbyes were really sad but I loved it. Especially Man-wol. A part me of me thought up until the previous episode that the writers might give them a happy life together and while that would have been lovely this felt much more appropriate and satisfying.
+ I love how the hapless writer guest, who has shown up in the background all series, came into play. What a great resolution to that side arc and bringing it in to finally give Seon-bi/Shi-ik the closure he needed to move on was great. I liked that Seon-bi finally got to write his own story, that as a writer he was able to find peace in writing one last time. I loved how much fun he clearly had doing so. I just wish that we'd gotten more hints during the series that Seon-bi was a writer/interested in writing.
+ Man-wol calling Seon-bi a dignified crane and then repeatedly trying to hold his head up - lol.
+ Man-wol and Seo-hee's goodbye especially the hug was lovely.
+ I loved the reveal that Man-wol's love for Kim Joon-hyun is all about how he reminds her of the man who saved her from gambling/Mago and turned her to her love of food. AKA Chan-sung. That's great.
+ I was sad that we didn't get a Man-wol/Reaper goodbye. I get why she didn't want him at the tunnel but they deserved on onscreen goodbye!
+ I've never actually made a comment on this but I love Mago. The different 'sisters' and their differing personalities and how they interacted with the characters, how they moved and manipulated the story along. Loved them.
