A Love Story From the Past
Why was their love so strong? Iblis and Ka-young knew each other in a past life!
A long time ago, Ka-young was a girl from Goryeo. She was the first selfless person Iblis ever met. She used her last wish long ago so that she and Iblis would always share their pain. This wish connected their souls forever.
Why Did They Have to Die?
Their sad ending was fate. In their past life, they fell in love. But Iblis had to watch her die, and no one helped her. This made him believe humans were selfish.
He begged God to see her again. God agreed but made them forget their memories. They were always meant to find each other, but their story was also meant to end in sacrifice.
A Bittersweet Ending
The ending is sad because they both die. But it is also hopeful. Iblis is free from his curse, and their love changes everything. It shows that love is powerful enough to change fate, even if it cannot promise a happy ending.
What did you think of the ending? Was it a good way to end their story?
