### Summary
The narrative arc for protagonists Bayan and Dhan has concluded abruptly with a massive time skip to their peaceful deaths in old age. This finale is widely criticized by readers as "rushed," leaving significant plotlines, most notably Bayan's long-standing revenge quest against her brother Jahan and her home village, completely unresolved. The story's focus has pivoted away from the original couple to a side story centered on the next generation, primarily their son, Yeonhwi. This transition has been met with mixed reactions and confusion, fueled by persistent mistranslations that obscured the gender of a key character, Tsetseg, who is now revealed to be a girl. The sudden introduction of a daughter in the final moments, who is never shown, has further compounded reader frustration. While some express excitement for a potential sequel focusing on the children's story, many feel the ending is "sequel bait" that fails to provide a satisfying conclusion to the main plot. The preceding side story, which detailed the main couple's traumatic and dysfunctional family dynamic after Bayan's near-death experience, is now viewed as a controversial and poorly-paced bridge to this new narrative focus, leaving the audience divided over the story's overall quality and direction.
