This might sound weird but who cares. I think it was a happy ending to the point that it might be the best ending possible for the whole drama. You see what was our main character Jang Bong Hwan trying to do from ep1. He wanted to return to his original body. And that happened at last. So obviously this is a happy ending. Was there a time when he admitted that he loves king? I dont think so. Was there a time where he thought its better to live in Joseon rather than going to his original self?I don't think so. When did he started kind of liking the king? It was the time when he got the memories of the Queen, he even started to think in her voice. This changed his nature temporarily as he has someone else's memory at least that's what i believe and want to believe. So it's pointless to argue that they should end up together as he wasn't completely himself when he was in the body of the Queen. This was about Jang Bong Hwan.
Now lets talk about the king. The king started liking the personality of Queen(Jang Bong Hwan). Now just think of a world where king actually meets JBH as a man, will he love him? They might become BFFs because they go well together. The reason for king to fall in love with the Queen was her odd behaviour despite being a girl and the honesty of JBH. If king knew of all the things JBH went through i am pretty sure he himself might have went through an identity crisis (or sexuality crisis whatever the term is). So it would be very wrong for both of them to end up together. This is what i think.
Also i think JBH is too good for the king. JBH deserves a better partner. Someone who is as honest as him.
questions that are unanswered- 1. how did the Han ji hyun became grim reaper in the past life2. detail back story…
answer from my side 1. Well bout han ji hyun becoming the grim reaper, it's kind of a thing in fantasy kdramas that criminals who weren't really evil from heart becomes grim reapers after death.Ig that would have been the reason, as han ji hyun was just planning to take down JTS but got killed instead and well she did helped him commit a lot and lot of crimes whatever the reason. 2.That's just too much to ask from the writers ig.
Short Review : Everything else is fine it's just that like everyone is saying, the last 2-3 episodes had a lot of content covered in very short time. They should have just made it into 20ep. drama where han ji hyun and hee woo had more interactions with each other. I mean she was the one who turned back time and made hee woo alive again, so it's kind of obvious to give her at least a little more importance than the other characters. But i guess that was too much to ask for. Anyways the show as a whole is good and i liked the cast a lot. P.S. - I hope it doesn't get a season 2 tbh. I mean it will be completely pointless to just go after the same corrupt officials again, like seriously that will be just dumb.
This is something i read about the webtoon synopsis, Apparently the ML is a serial killer who unknowingly killed criminals. For a black comedy this theme is good. And Choi woo Shik playing a bad guy role is giving me hope.
Well her standing in the church with his remains wearing a wedding dress was definitely weird but apart from that everything was good.... although it was tragic
