And when he dies, he will fade from the memory of humans. That means he can’t go back, he can’t be king, and he will die. I even know how you feel by just listening to your sigh.” Thankfully we are only 30 minutes away from the end of this show, so we aren’t baited for any longer about whatdoesHabaekwanttodo.īecause what does he want to do? He wants to use the power which he needs to return to the Realm of Gods on So Ah instead. I’ve been able to read your mind for the past 2800 years. Moo Ra, however, knows what Habaek is thinking and instinctively lashes out, “I’m Moo Ra. Habaek murmurs that So Ah will go in herself but they all know it’s too deep for her. Bi Ryeom and Moo Ra also tried to move the body but it wouldn’t budge. Slightly Twilight-creepyesque vibes too, if I might just say.Īt daybreak, all the gods gather at So Ah’s rooftop. He sits through the night, thinking over So Ah’s wish of speaking to her father and finally makes up his mind. So Ah must have collapsed and Habaek brings her back home. Great, because I was thinking how the father would look after being submerged in water for 10 years. It, however, did stay intact because of the tablet’s power. Joo Dong fills in the other two deities on what happened and reveals that Habaek tried to move the body but it wouldn’t budge. And guys, remember that the tablet has the power to grant the servant’s earnest wish? “The tablet must have taken him to his daughter.” Uh-oh.Īs she cries and says she will get her father out, Habaek grabs her in a tight embrace and holds onto her desperately, and somehow it’s that desperate clawing, both on So Ah’s and Habaek’s part that makes the whole scene so good for me. Although Yoon Seong Joon wasn’t awaken as a servant, the tablet must have recognised him.
He probably picked it up thinking it belonged to Joo Dong. Habaek knows the significance of that date and drags him away, but Joo Dong finally fills him in on what really happened – The tablet was visible to Yoon Seong Joon because he was a servant. In the next scene, Joo Dong questions So Ah’s whereabouts on 20th December 2004. There was also someone he really wanted to meet – his daughter. Hoo Ye revealed that that man was on his way to his wife’s grave that night because he just returned to Korea and didn’t know about his wife’s death. That man was the one who brought an injured Joo Dong to the hospital later and who found the tablet. Joo Dong finds Hoo Ye because he realises that other than Hoo Ye’s stepmother who found Hoo Ye 13 years ago, there was also another man. I actually enjoy the scene and find it refreshing that she wants their portrait to be drawn, rather than the usual kdrama trope of let’stakeaselfie together, but I find it a cop-out to have her dressed as a bride just as a cursory link back to the title – Bride of Habaek. So Ah tells him with a smile that pencil lead is made of a material which won’t fade in time, and she wants to remember his face vividly. Habaek is speechless and probably breathless and no matter how cliche is this, I actually find it cute. Very, very pretty, but also at the back of mind, I’m wondering just how fast So Ah changes. Turns out So Ah has prepared a surprise for Habaek – she changes into a simple, casual wedding dress. Funnily, both Habaek and So Ah don’t offer for Joo Dong to stay the night, since they only have 6 days together. He similarly reminds Habaek that Habaek has to go back to the Realm of Gods. Joo Dong finally appears and fills Habaek in on his recent endeavours – i.e trying to find the servant’s tablet. So Ah doesn’t believe in her story because “my dad has never saved me before.” “It’s not your boyfriend, it’s an older man.” Yeom Mi notices a photo of So Ah and her father, a photo that is only recently revealed because Habaek secretly switches the photos around, and points to her father as the man in her dreams. If I was So Ah, I would have kicked Yeom Mi for telling her story in punchlines – because she leaves the most important piece of information for the last. One thing I never get about dramas is how blatantly they ignore reality. This finale’s plot borders on unsatisfactory and ridiculous, but surprisingly, other than a few moments where I was tearing my hair out in frustration, I actually enjoyed the entire finale – Nam Joo Hyuk’s desperate attempts to calm down a bereaved So Ah and a devasted Shin Se Kyung were so good to watch.
