and yet he still slits his own throat without hesitation - see, I disagree. He did hesitate, just for a second. And I agree with HEADSNO2's comments on Dramabeans final recap - "it suited the way the magic has worked so far for Boong-do to finally pay his debt for cheating death, with death. Without any hope of being saved Boong-do was ready to give up everything, and only at that last crucial moment did the tide turn so that the phone, a recurring motif throughout this drama, could ring with what was literally a life-saving call."

Oh, I agree, he hesitated for a second, but ultimately he didn't - I guess I didn't phrase it well but a second's hesitation only in this scheme of things is pretty insane.

True. The fact that he does it anyway, despite the insecurity, because he is that desperate to see her.

It's such a heartbreaking scene when he reaches out for her and poof, he's back in Joseon. When he collapses on his knees, I just die.

I find that even with all the crying, sad music, and drama, the scene is quiet and the acting subdued, which actually helps with the delivery of the emotions to the viewer. What do you think?

He is normally so controlled and contained that to see him break down like that is horrifying.

I agree - this is a very beautifully understated drama, the opposite of makjang and it makes it more effective - I find when a drama tries to milk something sad, I stop being sad and start being amused.

I think the fact that we never saw him doing that to travel all along makes it a bigger impact. I mean we knew he was endangering his life someway to travel but to see him do it when we do not know if it'll work? smh
