### Summary
With the central curse broken and the main antagonist defeated, the narrative shifts focus to the resolution of its various couples, granting a hard-won peace to the tragic brothers Beom and Sooyeon. The primary tension now lies in the emotional fallout between Seong-jae and Dohui; readers express a collective yearning for Seong-jae to finally call Dohui by his real name instead of "Mister," questioning why Dohui continues to conceal his identity. Significant attention is also paid to the secondary couple, the messenger Joohwan and the ghost king, as their toxic, power-dynamic-driven relationship evolves. The king's potential return to a human form sparks hope for their future, while clarification that Joohwan lacks memories of their painful past lives recontextualizes their aggressive dynamic. The overall mood is one of bittersweet relief and investment in seeing all the characters, especially the deeply flawed ones, find redemption and a happy ending.
