HdL#16 Some actual thoughts: In the end, the price that CS had to pay was living a long life without her, while dreaming of a future together (and writing sappy poems in her memory on instagram). And he knew it all along (I now finally get him staring at his life line looking like someone had just kicked him in the stomach)… For being nearly a saint, he sure drew the short straw in this story (or being a saint just means that you have to suffer for everyone else’s sins? Just because you can take it? ). I am happy for MW finally being set free, but I can’t help feel immense sadness for the one left behind. He did his very best to send her off well, holding on to his tears as he was waving goodbye. But, although I think he won’t wallow in sorrow and will keep on living his life, I doubt he’ll ever let her memory go. I can’t imagine him finding someone else either… it would feel disingenuous to his and the other woman’s feelings. MW was it for him, so he’ll keep on living alone waiting for them to be reunited. I once said that he was planning for lifetimes of them together (and by now it does not even matter in what form) and yes it is very romantic, but also incredibly sad. No wonder MaGo was grumpy seeing him in front of the Baekdu mountain painting… I watched the last episode twice and cried both times, but on second watch I cried the hardest for him.

    You really put it into the exact words what I have been feeling since the last episode.
