But our unhealthy guys have stepped up the sport massive time, and proper when it looks like all the things simply would possibly land proper for these long-parted lovers, life as soon as once more throws an enormous spanner within the works.

Warning: spoilers for episodes 7-8 beneath.

1. When Young Hwa tries to faux that none of that is actual

Even after Do Ha’s grand reveal that he isn’t Jun Oh, Young Hwa’s in full denial. She refuses to imagine that she’s had a ghost connected to her for therefore lengthy (via 19 reincarnations!) and is horrified to listen to that he was the explanation she thought she was going insane as a toddler. Young Hwa tries to rationalize all the things, calling Jun Oh a stalker and downing her meds so she by no means desires of her previous life once more. But when that doesn’t work, she’s pressured 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 brought on her critical psychological trauma all as a result of he doesn’t know why he died, however there are many individuals who die each day. Slow deaths, fast deaths, deaths which can be by no means solved. But not all of them select to latch onto somebody for 1,500 years to wreck 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 performed and storms off. And that hits Do Ha deeply (Kim Young Dae all the time appears to play such empathic males!). He watches the information and sees all of the deaths on the earth and wonders why his soul remains to be caught to Young 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.

2. When Ri Ta tries to faux that she doesn’t care about Do Ha

We return to the previous the place Ri Ta by no means obtained to make her escape to Gaya. Soribu’s (Lee Kyung Young’s) goons cornered her and Do Ha. He fought off his personal individuals, telling her to flee, however she’s badly injured, they usually had no probability. He takes an arrow within the shoulder for her (apparently the identical place as the place he initially stabbed her) and passes out. He awakes to search out Soribu gloating that he killed Ri Ta, and Do Ha has lastly had sufficient. He vows to now not stay 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 wished to stay for, and with out her, he has no real 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 spot, and by controlling that weak spot, 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, understanding that Do Ha goes to need to commit atrocities simply to maintain her secure. She asks why she must be Do Ha’s motive for dwelling and why he can’t simply let her be tortured and killed. But they each know the explanation. When Do Ha is pressured 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’t carry 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 would possibly know of how she’s speculated to stay now. Killing him was speculated to be her motive, however she will’t do this anymore, and maybe he, who took an arrow for her, may need the reply. Right now, the truth that he’s alive looks like the one motive she will endure all the things. Do Ha visibly tears up, and the 2 look so forlorn however so completely satisfied to have one another within the midst of all the things. And Young Hwa wakes up with the belief that all the things is not okay.

3. Do Ha and Young Hwa attempt to faux that they really feel nothing for one another

Not solely are Ri Ta’s recollections bleeding into her life, however her emotions for Do Ha are doing the identical. Knowing that Jun Oh and Do Ha are the identical individual isn’t serving to as a result of she will 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 search 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 need to faux. And 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 numerous components of historical past he witnessed, however he insists that these 1,500 years all blended collectively for him. But when she asks him to recount numerous components of her life, he remembers all the things. Young 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.

But each cute couple wants a killjoy, and Jung Yi Seul (Jung Shin Hye) is in the best way. Now that Young 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 Young Hwa (and is hiding this truth from her) however retains making an attempt to persuade Young 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 Young Hwa, is discovered suspiciously lifeless, Do Ha’s protecting mode goes on, and he begins accompanying Young Hwa in every single place—all the way down to an amusement park. It’s probably the most enjoyable he’s had actually in his whole life, and Young Hwa sadly wonders what it may have been like if Do Ha and Young Hwa met as common individuals with out so many political strings connected to them.

It isn’t clear what kind of ending we’re being arrange for as a result of Do Ha deserves to stay a full and completely satisfied life, however the physique he’s in makes that unattainable. And his longtime enemy has set all the things in movement once more.

4. When Min Oh tries to faux that he isn’t suspicious of Do Ha

There appears to be one thing secret pertaining to Young 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 seen on his pores and skin. It’s to the purpose the place even Young 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 recollections however clearly simply didn’t care sufficient to truly undergo them and never in nice element. So Min Oh returns to a gleeful possessed Chul Hwan who reveals him an unsightly wound in his chest and says that that’s the mark he obtained when he was possessed however that the ghost is now gone. He says that the spirit possessing Jun Oh is the explanation for his most cancers and that the one option to eliminate the spirit is to kill Young Hwa. Min Oh buys all the things. To his credit score, he does look into treating Jun Oh within the United States however is met with refusals as a result of Jun Oh’s physique is simply too riddled with most cancers to heal. And Min Oh begins to take homicide very significantly.

This shouldn’t be going to be good! The wound Soribu’s sporting will need to have been the one which killed him 1,500 years in the past. The proven fact that each he and Do Ha are round posits that they may have been watching over Young 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. Could it’s that Soribu has been killing Ri Ta’s incarnations off earlier than she hits 30? And why is that quantity related?

The subsequent episode reveals Do Ha seemingly awakening to the truth that he’s falling exhausting for Young 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 Young Hwa nor Ri Ta have ever listened when somebody warned them off. Is a contented ending attainable between these two this time round? We can solely hope!
