I was yelling NOOOO to my TV during the final scene in Ep 12. Lee Tae Oh was gaslighting Ji Sun Woo about how things would've been okay had she just decided to forgive him. Dude, no, you'd still be a cheating piece of shit had she forgiven you. But kudos to this drama for highlighting the parallel of this toxic relationship to Hyunseo and In Kyu's. The drama's still being clear to the viewers that this whole thing isn't okay.

This drama is just so well-written and you get annoyed with the characters but at the same time you can truly see the pain they are going through. They are all morally grey characters. I love this drama so much right now.

Maybe try reading the recaps from dramabeans if you are finding it hard to keep up with the story. Questions will be answered as the episodes go on. I actually find this to be one of Jingoo's best dramas to date with amazing storytelling and refreshing format. Definitely well-written especially when you come to the conclusion.

You're welcome! ♥

There are soundtracks in the drama taken from an actual classical music. It's called Serenade II.

The ending is real. The actors have said it themselves that it's a real happy ending. The production also released the official novel written by the scriptwriter where it is shown that what happens in the ending is true and not a dream or the afterlife. Here is an English translation of that excerpt that gives more explanation of what happened in the finale:

In case anybody is curious about what happened in the finale of the show, they actually released a novel version of the drama as soon as it ended. Here is the English translation of the excerpt from the novel's ending, I highly recommend checking it out:

Oh gosh I love this drama so much. Haven't been THIS hooked to a drama in ages. Every character isn't just black and white but shows how they are all morally grey people. I watched the whole 10 eps just this weekend!

Hyunseo please, please don't be dead. I feared something bad would happen to her because of how they dramatically focused on her getting that scarf, but I really hope she's still alive.

Also, I believe Yoongi means what he said about not really caring for the assistant director position. I was skeptical of him the whole time because my mom spoiled me about how she can't believe that doctor turned out to be bad (I was about in the earlier episodes and she just finished episode 9), so I was always on the edge with his character. But after watching the whole 10 eps, I think he really wants to help Sunwoo. At least I hope he really does.

Goo Chan Sung is the BEST. No one can convince me otherwise

His character isn't at the center stage but more of a source of support for Manwol's character. That said, Chansung is a character who will grow on you every episode. Yeo Jingoo's delivering a really great but still humble performance, imo. It is a new kind of character for Jingoo and you can tell he put a lot of thought into delivering Chansung on-screen.

Chansung is a charming, smart, and dependable character. I love Goo Chansung so much and I love his very healthy relationship with Manwol.

The more I see CM's character, the more I find him selfish. "I'll become the moon that never falls to watch you from afar." Imagine living out the rest of your life with the thought that the person who pushed through the death of all your loved ones swore to be the ever present moon that will watch over you. Damn. The agony that he has decided to put on Manwol is more like a curse than a confession of love. I mean if he has decided to be a traitor on Yeonwoo's request, shouldn't he stay by it till the end instead of leaving such torturous parting words to Manwol like that? If he wanted to let her know of his true feelings, then be honest about the whole thing. Pick a side.

What Chungmyung did to Manwol is such a bad case of noble idiocy. He was well aware how much Yeonwoo mattered to Manwol. The whole marrying the princess to at least spare Manwol's life while having the rest of the people she considered her family killed is so stupid of him. He should've known Manwol better than that. Manwol would've obviously rather died fighting with the rest of her gang than to survive after seeing them die right in front of her.
Not complaining though as I was never in this ship hehehe.

Manwol

The moment I heard the wave of The Crowned Clown soundtracks, I knew I was in for a ride. All those meta references LMAO.

Ohh so that's the lyrics!!!! ~(*o*)~ I only recognized the superman part. xD

There are those who don't want this drama to have romance or too much romance. I don't know how to break this to you all... but they've been advertising this drama as a horromance (horror + romance). So get ready for a huge disappointment.

Having read the earlier synopsis, she can't remember her actual past so she probably has no idea herself. I'm really curious how are they going to shape this story out.

I also love how they switched it up this time with Chansung being the frail one in need of saving and Manwol telling him not to be afraid because she's right next to him.

The way the highlight video was edited made it look like Chansung got reincarnated or something, but I think it's just something to mislead the viewers. But there has got to be something with how the flower bloomed for Chansung for his birthday and in the teaser, the tree starts growing leaves again when Chansung touched the tree. He may be someone in the past, but he's probably neither of the guys shown in the highlight teasers.

Not sure if Yeo Jin Goo's character will actually be a part of the past, but come on, you hire Yeo Jin Goo in a drama with sageuk elements, it would be a crime to not include him in it imo. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
