CS and MW together are the cutest. They don’t even need to do anything… although the “Call me oppa. yes, onnie” had me in giggles, the “I belong to MW” hand drawing was totally swoon-worthy, not to mention the “I’ll take off all your clothes” – “Sure, but can you handle it?” squee-iness. [that boy’s got moves.] The kind of man that puts on a horrid ’tiger’ suit just to cheer up ms. Choi is the kind of man a girl can marry.

CM on the other hand… he is the real thief in this story. He took away everything she ever cared about… YW – the closest thing to family she ever had, and now CS – the closest to being happy she ever got. MW’s thousand year long stalker is a selfish coward. he had no problem attacking during that sword fight, but after he lost he started with the emotional blackmail. [he had no right to utter YW’s name. Also the gall of calling her his beautiful bride; I felt rage just watching] He even took away her closure with that rubbish suicide-forced-embrace thing. No wonder she went berserk. I loathe him.

The thing about MW hating the moon: glad to hear that it was all about her hating CM, rather than MW hating herself, but I am angry that the jerk somehow managed to steal her name too… But now I realize that her hate for him is not just about betraying her and killing off her family in front of her eyes, it’s about denying her closure, about making her into the killing monster that she became. His actions hurt her at the very core of her humanity.

How can some people continue to sing his praises after all that truly baffles me. He’s a stalker and a pervert (I get creepy crawlies every time I see him lay a hand on her). “Loving without knowing how to love hurts the one you love”. His so-called love destroyed her. He does not deserve her forgiveness. He does not deserve the price of her soul either. she should just treat him like the bug that he is. He is not worth it. Now get the hell out of CS’s body and crawl back to the hole you came from. [Honestly, a firefly is too good a body for the likes of him.]

The next step will either make or break the story for me. I can easily see this going ways that will have me swear off HS-kdramas for good, their name never to be mentioned again. Seriously. Don’t. Screw. this. Up.

Sorry for the spoilers, but I desperately needed to get this off my chest.

    I’m feeling the same thing too about Chung-myung post-ep 13. Before when we got glimpses of their relationship, I could understand the touch spot Chung-myung was in with the Princess and the whole “living as a traitor so Man-weol could be saved” deal. It’s definitely not ideal and totally just idiotic but it kinda made sense why he did what he did. Adding the tidbit about him staying behind as a firefly to hover around her all these years made me felt for him. But the scenes in ep 13 showing their last encounter breaks my heart for Man-weol more. If he had apologized then, because what he did was wrong despite his intention of keeping her safe, it might be better. Instead, the guy went full on melo mode, declaring to “watch over” (but really – haunt) a traumatized woman after forcing her to kill him. Ohhhh boy.
    AND then to come back via possessing the only person who has made Man-weol happy in over a thousand years? You’re right, Chung-myung is the thief.

    I don’t understand why there was no severe punishment for him like what Mi Ra went through.

    I don’t like how Man Wol really turned into Kim Shin of Goblin. She received severe punishment of eternal life because she killed people during war. Fights and deaths during war are all about survival. Why should she get punishment for wanting to survive and fight for her people? It makes me mad that Kim Shin was punished and was refused death because of this. Let these two beautiful people have their peace.

    And then there’s the captain, who betrayed Man Wol and was responsible for the deaths of all her people, whose prayers were heard by the gods to turn into a firefly to watch over Man Wol. Man Wol lived through different eras without knowing his existence. I thought Ma Go number 1 has been protecting Man Wol all this time, but nope, this is not protection. If Man Wol was a special child to her, she wouldn’t treat her this way and have people who did her wrong have a better life than her. Mi Ra went through so many reincarnations and has been relieved off her sins, Captain reasoned out he cannot leave this life because of Man Wol (bs!). And then there’s poor Man Wol, still carrying the burden of the past for thousand of years, unable to let go because the gods wouldn’t let her as punishment…

    Aside from your piece that made me infuriated with the plot the same, I was also mad for Man Wol after learning her beloved Yeon Woo is together with Mi Ra. I am in the minority. I did not like that Ma Go interfered and have them enemies in the past fall for each other. Yeon Woo deserved better than this. I saw and felt what he went through. My heart broke for him, and it simply is just not fair that he’s still tied to his past and now his heart beats for the woman who had his head cut off many eras ago. This is not cute. I just wish they let him went on with his new life and not have him entangled with his past. I was torn for Man Wol. This is not about letting go of resentments. This is about wishing the best for the people she loved. And I believe, just like how Man Wol find this ludicrous, this romance with Mi Ra isn’t the best for Yeon Woo. I really don’t like this plot twist.
