This episode 39 is overflowing with symbolism, from comparing birds to Filipinos, to Maria Clara and the poor girl singing, and to the appearance of a crocodile.
Ice Stone Scene; Naksu, in the first ep of s1 And then Uk on the last ep of s2
Jang Uk and Naksu are two faces of the same coin forged by the ice stone to walk the same path and tell the same tale to each other even though they weren't supposed to meet at all, they were destined for one another as if PERFECTION had been tattooed into their hearts like a portrait.
The ice stone was what kept Bu Yeon alive. But it's inside Jang Uk's body now, and Park Jin keeps telling Uk that if he removes the ice stone from his body, then he'll die. The same applies to Bu Yeon. But I'm still confused. Because the ice stone wasn't with her from the start, Jang Gang made her alive using the ice stone, but then as she grew up, it was sealed on the lake. Then after that, Shaman Choi took possession of it. But she was still alive then. How come she died because the ice stone was with Jang Uk now if it wasn't with her from the start??
