Pilgyeon really struck me. I am not justifying his actions, and I am never siding with his wrongdoings, but I believe his end is really cruel for him. Soongap is the very reason he tried so hard, but in the end, Soongap was erased from him. I think it's his retribution for the things that he did, but it really makes me so sad. As a child, Pilgyeon witnessed things that no one should, and yet he chose to prioritize the one promise he could hold onto: to look after Soongap. Pilgyeon’s efforts, though misguided at times, come from a place of deep care and desperation. He wants to do right by Soongap, even if it’s flawed or self-serving. He is caught between a desire to protect Soongap and his own internal struggles—a combination of naivety and goodness. And all his life, right before he loses everything, including his memory, he wakes up each day and continues to push through life, showing up for Soongap even when his heart is broken. His persistence, even when his heart is shattered, speaks to his resilience and the complexity of his character. Pilgyeon is a tragic yet deeply human character, struggling to navigate his love, his past, and his sense of duty.
I agree. Thinking about it maybe this act of retribution (him forgetting about soongap) is also a way of redemption. What a complex character indeed.
ah! that's a nice way to look at it...
THIS. Couldn’t have worded this any better. I hated him for his actions but honestly I didn’t want him to die such a tragic death like that. Thank god author-nim wrote his end like this.
thank you! me too, i thought he's not an irredeemable character. so, his end is much better than actually dying.
This is still one of the best books I've ever read. I first picked it up in 2022 and immediately fell in love. The way it tackles themes like agriculture, slavery, family, and royalty during the Joseon Era is incredible. It took me on an emotional rollercoaster—I cried a lot, but it also made my heart feel full. Despite the violence, the story of Soongap and Bongchun, two traumatized souls healing together, is so gentle and precious. They deserve their peaceful life, and I couldn’t ask for more.
The side characters also left a deep impact on me. Mojil’s kindness broke me, and I’m glad Soongap found peace with Bongchun. Losing Mojil made Soongap lose his drive for a while, but I hope Mojil is at peace now. Pilgyeon was tragic—his love for Soongap was rooted in care, even if his actions were flawed. His persistence, despite heartbreak, shows the complexity of his character.
This story is so underrated—why isn’t everyone talking about it? I’d love to see more of Soongap and Bongchun, but I know they’re living their best lives. I hope they stay together for many lifetimes because they truly deserve it.
