### Summary
The current chapter marks a dramatic and unexpected turning point, reversing the narrative's fatalistic trajectory. Following his near-death experience, Hong Dohui undergoes a stunning physical transformation; his signature pale, half-ghost complexion is replaced by a healthy, vibrant color, leading readers to celebrate that he is "fully human" and "alive again." This visual restoration accompanies a significant power-up, as Dohui decisively defeats the malevolent ghost that has been tormenting both him and Jo Seong-jae. While the audience has reacted with overwhelming excitement to Dohui's enhanced power and handsome new appearance, there is also widespread confusion regarding the mechanics of this change. The narrative has not yet explained how ingesting the ghost's poisonous blood and facing death ultimately resulted in his restoration. Some readers speculate this reversal is a form of karmic justice, connecting it to the chapter title "what goes around comes around" and theorizing that the curse initiated by Beom has backfired, saving Dohui while potentially sealing Beom's own fate. The bleak cycle of suffering appears broken, but the central mystery of how Dohui was revived and the true nature of his new state remains unexplained.
