### Summary
The narrative has concluded its controversial and emotionally charged subplot focusing on the deceased Sooyeon and his brother, Baek Beom. This arc, centered on their tragic and incestuous ghost-human relationship, culminates in the deaths of both characters. Reader comments confirm that Beom dies, with some noting a final, redemptive act where he confronts the "tiger bells" linked to the story's curse and admits his past wrongdoings. This resolution has deeply polarized the audience. A significant portion of readers are heartbroken by the tragic end, mourning the couple's twisted love story and expressing a strong desire for them to be reincarnated into a healthier relationship as non-siblings in a future life. Conversely, another vocal group expresses relief and even satisfaction at the outcome, particularly Beom's death, citing the unforgivable nature of the incest and his violent abuse of Sooyeon. While the main plot involving Jo Seong-jae and the decaying Hong Dohui has been temporarily sidelined, Dohui's recent intervention in a psychopomp-like role appears to have directly precipitated the conclusion of the brothers' story.
