sadly i know about the Monument of Peace & the comfort women, cause of the ret*rded kick-streamer Jonny Somali - cause of his disgusting behavior in Korea, let alone how he used this girls statue as a prop for his disgusting's antics to get clicks. personally i hope his ass is tossed into jail (for all the crimes he has committed in Korea) & hope he rots there.********************************************************************************************************************************************so even before starting this ep, knew it was gonna be a rough viewing. think from the start of this drama this is where i have balled my eyes out the most (& will admit, that i have been skipping like a MOFO through most of the heavy parts & still...) i couldn't stop crying. very very hard to ignore what was done, let alone how even after the girls/women gained freedom their own people added to their misery. think that was even more depressing & heartbreaking to me.*******************************************************************************************************************************************considering the theme of this drama it aint shocking this issue was addressed, as in this drama is was shown that a lot of Koreans r ignorant on the subject. so this wasn't just a random plot-point to fill an ep - but an educational ep for the (Korean) viewer's.

Korea takes the costumers always right to an extreme level. that woman assaulted a store clerk. i don't care how much money u got, or spend in a shop u have no right to physically assault someone - this Not the Joseon era. *********************************also am sure that shop has CCTV covering every inch, so costumers don't steal. so why wasn't the book thrown at her?!? here she doesn't just get away with it once, but is back for more? really?!? heck if i was Yu Hwa (Ryung Goo's mother's reincarnation) the sec i saw her, all my anger & sadness would turn into rage & people would have to pull me off of her.*****************************************************************************************************************************************this ep infuriated me more then saddened me

this the 2nd ep without an epilogue - which is a bummer as this really need a bit of levity at the end. each ep is freakin depressing.******************************************************************************************************************************************Im Ryung Goo's mother had a tough life & sadly in that time period she owuld never be safe from those gross men. so i think she took the only way out she knew. sadly her son was left behind. Im Ryung Goo wasn't to blame for his mothers death, the fact he lashed out on her is sad, but he was a child & only knew bits & pieces of the her story. jumped to conclusions & took it out on his mother. big mess that lead both their live to a tragic end.******************************************************************************************************************************************pity that in the current reality she had to lose her baby. but i think this was so Im Ryung Goo will come back to the team. ironic that this was the reason he joined the team in the 1st place.

victim shaming & blaming aint a new thing. sadly this is usually what happens, that's also why a lot of victim's take yrs if ever to come out & accuse their assaulter. ***************************************************************************************************the whole process is like being r*ped over & over; when u have to make a statement to the cops, then (maybe) have to do the r*pe-kit at the emergency & answer the nurses or doctors questions. then to get a evaluation by a psychologist, then in the court it gets even worse, when u have to give testimony, let alone face the cross-examination. for a victim this process is pure hell. so nothing here shocked me - not the way the legal system dealt with her or how the public was spouting whatever crap came to their mind, without thinking about the pain their comments were causing.*****************************************************************************************************************************************about the family or parents, it's a parent thing - when ur a kid & have a tummy ache ur parents will berate u saying "..i told u not to eat so much sweets..." *************************************************************************************************************if u fall "...i told u to stop running around..." maybe it's a way for them to deal with the situation within themselves, not panic or show their worry, so their knee-jerk-reaction is to take it out on their kid.like the sister & brother attacking the other, not cause they blamed them - but they needed someone they could vent on - either way am glad they made up at the end*****************************************************************************************************************************************heavy ep

genuinely was debating, if i should skip this ep, as animals & children r my achilles heel. if i know a movie is about either or both, i will pass - cause i know no matter how good it is, it will leave me devastated by the end - heck days after "the end". but watched & yeah - it was freakin sad. the saving grace was that the poor baby wasn't abused or abandoned. but still, very depressing & hurt like hell by the end (in-spite of the happy reunion in the epilogue), which was wholesome & very sweet. *****************************************************************************************************************************************at the start had a feeling Goo Ryun was lying, wondering if Park Joong Gil was her betrothed/husband... but at the end in her flashback, she is wearing widows garb. so maybe he was related to the guy she married? either way, she knew him in their past life... now wondering, why she lied & what their connection is.*****************************************************************************************************************************************same with Ryung Goo who was the pregnant woman he was weeping over. a past love or a family member he wronged

idk why some commenters angry at Joon Woong; 1st off he a newbie & not only at the job but age wise. when u working at that kinda job for Centuries, u get jaded if u want too or not. then it's easier to say "we deal with the dead or the ones trying to end their lives. anything to do with the living, isn't our problem...". *********************************************************************most normal people would want to help & try turning to more experienced people (like their higher-ups), when that doesn't work they go to the cops. when all fails, some might give-up, but there others that will go the route Joon Woong chose. the fact he was desperate blinded him to seeing that Jin Ho was suspect. doesn't make him stupid or wrong to try & prevent further victims. *****************************************************************************************************************************************the fact Joon Woong innocent & pure hearted isn't a bad thing, sadly the world & life will rob him of that sooner rather then later. personally i love his character & i am not depressed out of my mind watching this, cause of him. so as far as i am concerned more power to him!

this was going fine, felt sorry about Sin Ye Na until she said "... are u saying it's my fault? it was only a moment for ur sister..." i am sorry, but a person like this - that has No empathy for others, deserves pity?!? ***************************************yes, being sick in the head for over a decade (yeah, know it's mean to define it like this - but I don't give a f*ck) isn't easy on the body or the mind, but as an adult she should've tried & sought out help. know it's hard, but not impossible when she herself tried to gain weight, that means she knew there was a problem. then why not talk to a professional?!? ***********************************************************************************************************************************************cause of how she was treated as a teen, she didn't just choose to hurt herself, she hurt others around her, like Jeong Bo Ram & even telling Joon Woong his sister's pain was insignificant, disregarding his confiding in her, is a slap in the face. so i ask why is she worthy of any pity?!? just cause she wants to kill herself?!? **************************************************************sorry, but this world filled with people that r suffering in one way or the other, a ton even contemplate ending their life, but (for everyone it's different) they find a reason not to give-up/give-in & keep fighting, no matter how hard, tough of soul crushing being alive can be.**********************************************************************************************************************************************this time around think Sin Ye Na shouldn't have been handled with kid gloves. she needs a rude awakening - so Goo Ryun should've been the one to deal with her. Joon Woong is too sweet, companionate & forgiving....**********************************************************************************************************************************************well the conclusion is a quick fix to end the ep, not reality cause u need professional help & yrs of therapy before u start to see a change - but whatever...

f*ck, thought (in-spite all the comments) i wouldn't cry - would tear up & feel sad (but that's what i've been doing since the 1st ep) so thought would hold out. but this was sooooo sad (┬┬﹏┬┬) the reapers did give him a great "send off". but his human body is more or less in the same situation as the friend he mentioned, that was found dead in a state where only bones were left. maybe cause of those moronic mafiosos, he might be found earlier, but still - depressing reality we live in.

well this was utterly depressing - without the pick-me-up at the end, as the epilogue was also sad...******************************************************************************************************************************************idk what Joong Gil's deal is - maybe someone he loved took their own life & he is holding a grudge against anyone who's thoughtlessly abandoning the people that love them & acting selfishly (in his eyes)...******************************************************************************************************************************************side note: the fight scenes were a joke, a bad joke at that. sorry i can't take Ryung Goo seriously. the fact he can't stop acting tough, makes me all the more, scoff at his touch-guy act.

really thankful for the epilogue's (⊙_⊙;) poor Woo Jin being a loner & an introvert, opening up ur heart is tough enough & takes time, just for the person u finally let in to die on u. *****************************************************************************even without a traumatic past, one would be badly broken - so much so, u would try & end it all. idk if his dead wife can help, cause then she moves on & he is left alone to pick up the pieces - get used to surviving alone alone ＼（〇_ｏ）／(ノへ￣、) something that is tougher to deal with once u used to being with someone. aish

the epilogue was hilarious & much needed considering how freakin depressing this ep was - but i guess this gonna be a running emotion throughout this drama, considering what the main job of the "team" is (*≧︶≦))(￣▽￣* )ゞ******************************************************************************************************************************************btw last time Goo Ryun almost ripped Joon Woong's ear off cause he intertwined in Eun Bi's memory. but this time she's actively intertwined in the past (preventing Jae Soo's fathers accident/suicide) that ok?!?******************************************************************************************************************************************side note: really love Joon Woong's personality he so goofy & happy go lucky, but when it counts he gets serious & angry - very hot.

didn't need to see what the writer did, to know she was bullying Eun Bi. sadly Eun Bi's a pushover (not trying to victim blame) but when u r targeted, how u react dictates how things unfold. if Eun Bi stood up to Hye Won the second she targeted her, maybe there would've been a fight. but after the 1st time, Hye Won would know that trying anything with Eun Bi wouldn't be worth the headache, as she wouldn't sit still & take it. ****************************************************************************************this is something most bullies count on; a weak target that's too scared to fight back, that won't put-up a fight & just suffer in the hopes the bully will get the bullying over with faster & move on. *****************************************************************************************************************************************as an adult Eun Bi could use the net to exposé Hye Won - or threaten her to do so, if she tried to repet past behavior (when she realized who she was). but Eun Bi's mentality hasn't changed & sadly she will forever be a victim. u can't teach someone to stand-up for themselves ＼（〇_ｏ）／ so even if u help them - what happens when the helper isn't around?!? *****************************************************************************************************************************************ironically the only one worthy in that team, is the newbie Joon Woon. what is the point of Goo Ryun & Ryung Goo for that matter?!? if that team isn't created to prevent people from "offing" themselves. what r they doing, just monitoring the people that r on the "verge", really!???? why Not help when u can?!? this team should be disbanded if all they do is stand-by & watch the suffering of humans, that bring them to the brink. i don't care what their personal baggage is, especially when it is leaving them insensitive & apathetic towards the suffering of people that pop-up on their radar. the end "avenging angle" act was whatever IMO, as what she did, was take Eun Bi off the list & put Hye Won on it(?!?). idk - didn't like this conclusion. ********************************************************************************************************Joon Woon would've prevented Eun Bi from getting to the stage where she rushes up the stairs in the 1st place & even might have dealt with Hye Won, by making Eun Bi stand-up for herself. *****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: isn't it Joong Gil's job to collect souls - not kill them?!? so why he prevent Goo Ryun from saving that guy on the roof?!? what he did actually was murder him - how this ok?!????

1st off the description here is wrong; Joon Woong had No plans of jumping off that bridge. but other then that, this an interesting concept & really like Joon Woong's personality. ***********************************************************************************************now Goo Ryun's chip-on-the-shoulder attitude is a bit iffy. but i guess we will see what she went through to have that chip & why she actually an ok character. ***********************************************************************************************considering the unnecessary kick (when Joon Woong wasn't in the wrong - trying to help the homeless dude) i need to see redeeming factors ＼（〇_ｏ）／*****************************************************************************************************************************************but good start....

was right about Sang Un the selfish moron - but this wasn't how i wanted to start this... fate, where u r connected to others in such a way; no matter how many lives u live, u will always revolve around each other. like Shi Ho & Do Yoon who start off as siblings, then mother & son, even in their current reincarnation (though they not blood related, they found a way to come together & form a family), it's a bitter sweet feeling - seeing this twist of fate & connecting thread, leaves me sad....******************************************************************************************************************************************there was a previous comment i made; according to the concept of rebirth, if ur a bad human, ur born as an animal or a bug. so monster's don't deserve to reincarnate as humans, as they evil. but now am thinking maybe this is a way for them to pay/redeem themselves, as only humans have the ability to chose how they lead their lives, no matter into what situation they r born. so maybe that's why Hwal & Sang Un's lives r so intertwined with the other character's, cause their faiths got intertwined & needed sorting out - so the rebrith was a chance to fix what went wrong....******************************************************************************************************************************************back to 1000yrs ago Sang Un cause she could live forever, thought what is a few decades of living with humans until they grow-old or they die, to my mate & me that will pass in a blink. why inform him or talk it over ( ˘︹˘ ) then cause she's mute, she can't save her ass cause she promised not to hurt humans (doesn't matter that the humans r hurting her, unjustly or that they gonna hurt the humans she cares for) just stand there like a martyr & die?!? but then the jilted mate shows up to save her ass & as he lacks the twisted morals & fake b.s. promises. he does what anyone would do & get's murdered & had to sufferer for over a 1000 yrs??? really?!? the cherry on top - the fact that in the current day he's gaslit into taking all the blame, is hysterical IMO******************************************************************************************************************************************he smiled - that meant he was evil? he smiled cause after a decade he saw his mate, she was down for the count & now was standing before him - wouldn't u smile when u see that the person u love was hurt & unconscious, but was now OK?!? he the monster? plz after the way the humans behaved, how they any better then the Bulgasal is besides me. but Hwal is the bad guy - really ＼（〇_ｏ）／ like WTF with this warped logic.******************************************************************************************************************************************Ok Eul Tae (the MVP of this drama IMO) sadly had to die, but he also didn't get Hwal - Hwal didn't go on a rampage cause of blood thirsty or cruelty. he did so cause his mate was in danger & he was furious that insignificant humans dared to hurt her. the only reason Hwal took his soul & turned him was cause he was infuriated at the betrayal & wanted the chance to hurt the ones that were trying to kill him & the one that "drove in the final nail". ******************************************************************************************************************************************personally i don't get how/why Hwal's sacrifice meant the end of the curse for the humans he cursed in the past. but what i do know is that i didn't want him & Sang Un to ever met again - she didn't deserve him!on a whole this was entertaining but far from perfect especially when the bad-guy is Hwal - when he the only one that isn't bad IMO. but this over & it was fun on a whole so whatever....

the procrastination in this, is killing me - no matter the urgency, character's here will always find reasons to waste time.. it's very frustrating to watch & just cause the writer always suspends the scenes progress to it's logical end, to match the time the main character's move their asses, doesn't negate the waste of time, as i know logically this b.s. *****************************************************************************************************************************************this whole ep was a bit of a headache... i get the emotions (of Shi Ho & Do Yoon - about Sang Un could care less ( ˘︹˘ )) but it was too much drama towards the end of this drama. like i get, we needed the foreshadowing so we would know that (at least) in this ep nothing will do according to plan. the only reason ex-detective Kwon was unreadable to Sang Un, was cause she only got eyes for Hwal. tedious woman that she is. ***********************************************************************so the grand sacrifice of Kwon was excepted. found it ironic that everyone in Hwal's life was an enemy at one point. people that actively tried to kill him, became his family - the irony is hilarious. ***********************************************************************still the only character i feel bad for is Hwal. u can't fault a carnivore that he hunts & kills to survive - why a Bulgasal different?!? unlike Ok Eul Tae (who has become my favorite character in this drama - heck he the MVP that has made this drama worth the watch) who plays with his "food" & is ruthless. doubt Hwal was the same - i stand by my earlier conclusions that he went after humans, cause they hurt him - cause his moron of a partner decided she wanted to live as a human & deserted him. either way i don't believe he the bad-guy in this - she is ＼（〇_ｏ）／*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i don't like going the BL route, every time men r extra chummy with each other. but sorry, the way Ok Eul Tae regards Hwal is more then a bromance to me. even the way he hates Sang Un is like the new gf hating on the ex of ur lover.
