What's so sad about this ending aside from dan still blaming himself for everything. Jaekyung is still shit and looks like he about to find and kill dan for leaving him, no emotional damage whatsoever in his part. Just pure anger issues.
he just probably doesn’t know how to express his feelings, or even affection and just shows it through his anger
Anger and Sadness are like siblings.... if he didn't care he would be angry!
care he wouldn't*
I agree, on some cases, sadness and anger go side to side. But on this specific story and for a character as jaekyung, we all are aware that for the last plenty of chapters, he is lacking in capacity to feel sadness. Anger is his character if i must say.
Possesiveness and anger are siblings. And for a character as jaekyung, its obvious he views dan as something that belonged to him, not as someone he genuinely "cares" for. On some instances, it may seem like he cares for dan because of his intentions. But its like that isnt it? When someone is a jerk, all the bare minimum they did suddenly seems to be an act of pure and genuine care cause its very rare for them to not act like a jerk.
I understand that the last chapter seems to be that jaekyung cares, but its an act of possesiveness more than caring -- thats why his emotions are of anger, not frustration nor sadness.
Tbh, this is the only manga keeping me sane right now
It gives me a bit of ease and comfort knowing that skylar will be there to with him every step of the esy to his healing :')
Another story coming to an end, saying goodbye once again to precious characters who had been dear to my heart ╥﹏╥
OH MY GOOD LORD THE LAST PANEL ALMOSTMADE ME CRY -- *SAVED TO GALLEY*
I've been seeing comments wanting some clarity on the shaman and the king's ending on the main story. I hope this helps..
The seme (the shaman) was having dreams of his past life after the old king released him as his "god". Those dreams are from his past self trying to overcome him (i'll be able to elaborate later). Thats why everytime he wakes up, he's somewehre around the house until finally, he is in his "temple" or altar one day when he woke up. Since he cant understand why he's always hving dreams about the king and why he was directed to the altar, they do a ceremony to summon the spirit of the king.
The part where the old king said it wasnt him is about the seme's dreams of their past lives. Seme thought the king is the one who's always making those dreams appear so he summoned him, hence the king said, it wasnt him. And its true since you could also see an image after this (or before) where the king kills ugly looking souls. Thats the king trying to protect seme so he wouldnt be haunted by any kind of soul in the living world, the kings kills them all in his world. So yeah, the seme thought it was the king and the king said it wasnt him... Thats where seme's past self comes into the picture.
If u could remember one of the conversations in the story where it said, the seme's past sins were so severe (or smth like that), he had to pay for it in the next life, thus he became messenger and now a human haunted by spirits/ shaman. His past actions are so strong as well as his past self, that it overcame him here in the present seme's life. All those dreams are his past self trying to reach an end goal -- and voila on that ending part where they talked intimately, "is that what u really want?" and then vanished inside the bells -- that means that the reason why the seme feels like smth is missing even if he's already living a normal life is because his past self wants to be with the king. So his past self took over and got together with the king for whatever means necessary (the bells). Thats the only way can his soul be finally in peace.
I hope i answered some of ur questions. And if anyone was confused too, feel free to copy this thread to them. :))
