Why are people confused about the story? The front seasons covered most of the characters’ interlinked past and they defeated Hwan, the main antagonist. Now it’s the next season and there’s new monsters and it’s revealing more about the underworld.
Quick summary on the characters’ history:
704 (black hair repear) and Eunjae (grey hair human) were brothers in their past life, while San (blonde) was close friends with 704 since childhood. San’s family was a shaman family while 704’s family was sort of like nobility and his father was a high ranking official.
Hwan, that ghostly monster, existed due to all the wars and famine and other terrible stuff, and was wrecking havoc. It possessed 704’s father who then massacred the village including San’s family. San escaped with his family heirloom, a golden fan. While running away he meets Yama (one of the underworld kings) who sort of “releases” the heirloom into its goblin form, and that Goblin is Geumsun (blue hair).
Geumsun ends up falling in love with 704 who takes care of him. However, 704 later learns that Hwan has been haunting his brother Eunjae all this time and Eunjae has been giving in to protect 704. 704 confronts Hwan to save Eunjae. Eunjae, possessed by Hwan, ends up killing 704. In the fight Hwan ends up severely wounded. The manga then starts after this in modern time.
if i'm not mistaken the blonde childhood friend of the brothers in their past life was hoseung and he reincarnated as eunjae's dog also having the same name. He's San's ancestor
