Apparently, the folktale was based on true historical accounts, but not really sure as to how historically correct it is. The drama somehow merged the two and added their own twist for the ending in consideration of the current pandemic situation.
They’ve already re-filmed everything and it’s been submitted to the International Emmy Awards complete with Na In Woo version. It’s also been released in Korean VODs (new 1-6). Only the international VODs (Viki and Viu) are taking too long to upload.
It’s not a hallucination. Dal is really alive. Remember he asked the monk to train him on how to fake death? He used that skill but since he has not trained that long, he did not master it. That’s why he became amnesiac as side effect.

Like what Sal-Jun-Hos said, they held a funeral for On Dal and the monk just sneaked in to where he was laid to rest. He took On Dal’s body (remember, he’s very strong) stealthily and brought him to the Ghost Village to wake him up.
Apart from the fact that he planned to keep On Dal’s condition a secret from everyone (he knew that GaJin will stay at the Ghost village anyway), I imagined that the monk already anticipated the side effects on On Dal as he did not complete his training yet, so he rather keep things quietly as he nurse On Dal back to health, with complete memory of his life; also while waiting for Gajin.
