Episode 166
* * *
“The time has come.”
Seonghui wore pitch-black military attire. His stride across the vast palace exuded superiority. The footsteps of the guards following behind him rose in regular rhythm. He moved without hesitation, as if he would dominate this place.
Starting with Seonghui at the front, the guards gradually increased in number. Three, six, twelve… Countless men crossed the royal palace.
“Stop.”
What stopped Seonghui was Yunhui’s guard. He placed his hand on the scabbard at his waist with orderly movements. With a sharp sound, a well-forged sword was drawn.
“Huh… You’re here?”
Seonghui looked at him with a ridiculous expression. Before long, all the guards near Seonghui had drawn their swords.
“You cannot take a single step.”
When Yunhui’s guard nodded, soldiers who had surrounded the area pressed in on them.
“Hahahaha…!”
Seonghui covered his mouth with one hand and laughed as if delighted. Only his laughter burst forth and echoed through the quiet palace.
“By whose authority?”
“By His command.”
“You will have to follow my orders from now on.”
Seonghui nodded slightly. Guards with fierce eyes split to both sides. The swords of the army and rebels clashed mercilessly.
“Listen well! From today, I will be the one to become the master of Yeomho Kingdom!”
Seonghui’s greedy madness swept into the palace. The palace gates opened. The prepared rebels rushed in.
* * *
Yunhui, who barely arrived at the palace, was speechless at the scene becoming a battlefield. The army was losing to the rebels.
As sharp swords approached from all directions, Yunhui and his guards had no choice but to display their practiced swordsmanship skills. They blocked the relentlessly thrusting swords, turned their bodies to dodge, then struck horizontally to subdue their opponents. Even while doing so, they tried to grasp the situation.
“What is this…!”
The army protecting Yeomho Kingdom consists of the most elite selected soldiers. Their swordsmanship and spearmanship skills are second to none.
Yet the rebels were trying to gain the upper hand.
However, upon closer inspection, there was something strange. Among the army wearing Yeomho Kingdom’s military uniforms and the rebels wearing pitch-black military attire, he could see ‘somethings’ wearing shabby clothes.
“Your Highness, you must take cover…”
The one who crawled to Yunhui’s feet while writhing was a guard he had once sent to the King. Covered in blood, he coughed and wheezed.
“What happened, exactly?”
“The enemy… won’t die.”
Those wearing shabby clothes swung their swords even with several arrows stuck in them. Like puppets.
Only then did Yunhui realize. Evil things could not only be controlled at night.
“It’s dangerous. So very… *cough*, dangerous…”
Just as the guard was struggling to continue speaking, evil things rushed into the palace from far away.
“At this rate…”
He judged it wouldn’t take long to break through to where the King was. Fear washed over him again.
Just as Yunhui was about to become helpless, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar. Someone was approaching, galloping closer.
“Stop!”
A group of rebels rushed toward him. However, the man holding reins in one hand and a sword in the other approached Yunhui, cutting down those coming at him with efficient movements.
The man who dismounted from the black horse was none other than Myeongdo.
Myeongdo swung his sword once in a large arc. The blood droplets that had formed scattered.
“I will clear the path. Please go.”
Though he was panting from rushing over, Myeongdo’s gaze remained straight. There was no wavering. He walked forward as if his destination was clear.
“…Those things never die. Will you still go?”
When Yunhui asked, Myeongdo, who had been walking, stopped for a moment.
“Yes. I will still go.”
Myeongdo answered without looking back. He seemed like a man who had somewhere he absolutely had to go.
Yunhui took a deep breath. In this hellish scene of flying blood and bursting screams, he steadied his trembling heart once more.
“Yes. Let’s go together.”
Yunhui and his guards followed behind Myeongdo at the front. Cutting down those rushing from all directions, getting torn and stabbed here and there, risking their lives as they went.
Myeongdo seemed possessed by a sword demon.
Following a horizontal cutting movement, he fluidly struck downward vertically. The rebels fell helplessly at the tip of his blade. Fluttering his long jangpo sleeves, he continued to break through.
As if he wasn’t afraid of death. As if leaving Seoryeong alone was more frightening than his own death.
A shot was captured from a bird’s-eye view. Myeongdo possessed swordsmanship skills that no one could dare approach.
The screen slowly went into slow motion.
Myeongdo’s desperate face was revealed.
Dark red blood burst forth beside Myeongdo as he beheaded a rebel.
On Myeongdo’s wrist as he sheathed his sword, the five-blessing cord that Seoryeong had personally tied was preciously attached.
The sounds of kkwaenggwari, gongs, flutes, and janggu all came together, resonating loudly enough to drive one mad. As if signaling that the final chapter had arrived.
Chapter 15
Undead Ghost
Thus ended episode 15 of .

“Ahhh! This is crazy!”
Seo Eden rolled around on the lodging floor. Before they knew it, even the members who had been watching reluctantly were shedding tears with one heart.
They had reached the point of watching episode 15 live. Just like the drama fans, their week was divided into days with and days without .
“So… sad…”
Those who had once debated how best to kill the old men from episode 3’s Virgin Ghost now only wished for Seoryeong and Myeongdo’s happiness.

ㅇㅇ(117.111) TIP: The drama originally airs 24 hours later
Seoryeong’s scene where she revealed her name for the first time only in episode 15 made drama fans cry at the slightest touch.
The wicked Jjang Director drove viewers crazy. 24 hours was too long.
“But isn’t this kind of cliché usually predictable without difficult analysis?”
IP 85.152 scoffed quietly while skimming through the gallery posts. Having analyzed every work thoroughly as a theater musical fan, she had firm belief that would end happily.
“Anyone can figure it out with a little thought, they’re all just crying because they want to write trending posts.”
Her eyes were moist as she clicked the recommend button.

This was JC ENM’s new building where the lights still hadn’t gone out. The PR team was familiar with sucking down caffeine while staring at monitors.
They had to monitor every single reaction pouring in like a tide after episode 15 ended.
“Shin Rookie-.”
“Currently major community issue boards are plastered with from pages 1 to 3, and it completely devoured the drama boards. The clip uploaded after airing just broke 310,000 views. Comments asking to upload Seoryeong’s name scene are trending.”
Shin Rookie was passionate like someone who didn’t know fatigue. This wasn’t how he looked when he always harbored thoughts of leaving work on time.
A new wave. There was an abstract sense that something like that was rushing in. had definitely chosen an unprecedented path.
Right after the finale they decided to sell broadcasting rights to Taiwan and Southeast Asia, focusing on how hot the reaction was in Korea for overseas promotion.
Then they’d bring overseas reactions back to talk about in Korea, and enter Blu-ray production at unprecedented speed.
Not only that, Han Yeoreum’s creamy soda would be re-released as fall’s new product ‘apple-flavored creamy soda’ after ended, and tourist sites promoted as filming locations would soon stock rental shops with hanbok like what Han Yeoreum wore.
This was a business prepared through collaboration between the local district, Korea Tourism Organization, and JC ENM.
“Upload it now.”
Manager Hong smiled with crinkled eyes. Following his command, someone clicked the mouse with a click.

They uploaded the clip people had been clamoring for. Then people swarmed in without even time to refresh.
-I really can’t stop crying… How scared Seoryeong must be alone, trying to smile bravely even knowing it’s farewell. Please give us a beautiful ending…
-Fuck, Han Yeoreum’s acting is seriously so good ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ The whole sequence of seeing the evil spirit and despairing, then staring blankly at the fire spirit, and suddenly snapping back to reality – it all flows so naturally, like Seo Ryeong is actually alive and moving
-How are they updating Maehwa’s legendary scenes like this, it’s insane. You could say everyone’s riding the divine inspiration together ㅇㅇ Did all three of the writer-director-actors receive divine blessing or something
viewers watched the clips on repeat, losing sleep. View counts rose steeply. Less than 5 minutes after upload, it broke 30,000.

Not just communities but SNS was all about talk too. Tension circulated within JC ENM’s PR team.

It was an unprecedented number in cable TV history.
* * *
A status window appeared before my eyes. My hands kept trembling. How strange. Even though I succeeded at everything, my heart keeps pounding.
‘But still, somehow it doesn’t feel like this is the end…’
Right. This isn’t nervousness but anticipation. Anticipation from the conviction that things will get even better when final episode sees the light of day.
My mouth was dizzyingly dry. I had to stand at the photo wall soon. A different pressure than last time with came rushing in.
“Don’t be too nervous.”
Jjang Director who was watching me approached from the side.
“We did well. All that’s left is receiving applause. Right, Junhyeok?”
“That’s right… The ritual ground scene. When that comes out it’s really going to be no joke.”
This was Yongsan GCV, and the time to screen finale was approaching.
