Overall good ending, not great but could be better. Idk I donāt feel satisfied for some reason. Iām just glad…
I think of it as he had to hold back emotion and recognition because he had just committed to destroying all soul-shifters in Daeho. If he ārecognizedā her, he would have to slay her too, as a soul-shifter who had already killed him once and an assassin who had killed many innocent victims, Thatās why he gave her the choice - he could stay with her in Gwido for whatever fleeting time they had left, but abandon his mission to save Daeho and let the others down, or not recognize her, so he could finish the mission he set himself. She is the one who sent him away.
I actually loved this scene, because she finally showed a moral compass. In Part 1, she was selfish and amoral, with excuses and justifications for her mean actions. Here, she told him what he was doing was absolutely right and he must do it, even though we might not even meet again with the same consciousness.
The extension of this scene, is when she forced him to come after her as the last soul shifter. She told Yul, that there were no excuses or justifications for her to be happy with Uk. She was an assassin. She was the merciless master, who told him to do his duty.
To me, this was bad-a$$ Naksu. Who was unflinching about the conclusion she finally faced. But yes, I feel a lot was cut out in many pivotal scenes that would have had more impact, like when she recovered after the fire bird in JSRs body. That discovery we were robbed of, the joy that she lived.
There were some problems with the ending, and it felt a bit rushed.1. Why didn't Maidservant Kim just run out…
As an equal partner in her marriage, Cho-Yeong complements and completes Uk. There is no purpose to come back as a assassin mage. She caused chaos and sorrow in that identity in Episode 20. In Episode 30, she is a respected and powerful priestess, does good works, helps her husband by absorbing the shadows that would freeze his bright energy of the sky. Master Lee summed it up well, when he was spinning tales to the kids.
*sigh* Part 1 and Part 2, the conclusion of a 30 episode arc. Stops comparing. Itās the same story, just finishing…
What criticism? I was just correcting your season 1 and season 2 reference to Part 1 and Part 2. Itās OK to have a preference. I just have enjoyed the complete story. Itās like a stage play. With many acts.
