### Summary
Just as the climactic romantic resolution between Hyosin and San Baek was about to unfold, the narrative is violently interrupted by the re-emergence of a threatening antagonist. The anticipated, cathartic moment—in which Hyosin was expected to break the ancient curse afflicting the god-like San Baek (also called Bumryung)—is shattered by the sudden appearance of a villainous bandit. This character, whose presence is described as a "jumpscare," immediately introduces a sense of dread, directly threatening the couple. Readers note a distinct visual parallel between a scar on the bandit and the one belonging to Hyosin's psychopathic brother, Lee, linking this new confrontation to the established familial horror. The romantic atmosphere is replaced by intense anxiety, with San Baek's new hairstyle being a minor detail in a scene now defined by menace. The interruption has angered readers, who now anticipate a powerful, protective retaliation against this new threat that has ruined the couple's destined reunion.
