This is probably my 3rd or 4th time re reading and I always forget the bittersweet feeling I get afterwards. I truly wish that Seong-jae would have remembered more when they reunited in the present time. After seeing what Dohui went through waiting for him to reincarnate it makes me so emotional every time like they really are soulmates. I know Seong-jae went through so much as well having to see his lover stay the same while he grew older. Seriously so painful both ways. I think if Seong-jae would have remembered more finding out in the end that Dohui would finally get to live as a human and age along with him would have been even more emotional. It just hurts how Dohui is the only one who has those memories.
As for the second couple I just tell myself that them being brothers although not blood related in their present life was a final punishment for them and mainly beom. I think the side stories afterwards with them as students should have just found a different way to connect them together though. In the end I'm just happy they were not related but I feel like the author could have found a way to do things without them being related in the beginning. The story may have played out differently though.
Also third couple seriously broke me. The way that even in the shamans present life he was unhappy. After everything he want through in his past life being so devoted for the King. The author also did such a good job at storytelling along with emotions. Like I truly believe they had feelings for each other in their past life but because the king kinda went crazy the shaman held hatred for him. Also the way that the shaman completed the ritual to be with the king in end ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Each couple really had an ending where they could be together although it was more sad for the third but I really felt a bittersweet feeling for each one in some way or another.
Also can we just admire the authors work and the artwork. It was the main reason I started this story when the first few chapters came out. I had no idea what to expect as a person who hates sad things but seriously worth it.
If you guys ever find an opportunity
Support the author in buying the official chapters. I slowly did this because of how much I love the story and I wish it was popular enough to get physical copies ಥ‿ಥ
