#but tl;dr YESSSSSSS I love your theory

[lastofthe20thcenturygirls]

Ngl Jw just being able to waltz in jade emperor's office while others all seem to go there by her request makes me think jw is directly toed to the emperor too maybe he was the first ever grim reaper and just wished to be human to be kind to ppl cus of the anount of hurt that othrs suffer from what we see from 2 lives that we see of him he is like overrely compassionate and now he just doesnt remember would make sense why they would leave him to be a grim reaper while in coma i dont think it was because he got into that coma cus he met reapers

Omgggg anon that's actually a really good theory! First ever grim reaper I always knew that pure hearted boy was special!!

I did find it sus from the beginning that the Jade Emperor made him become a grim reaper it was basically a blackmail and I'm grateful to her. But yeah she definitely had a secret motive. And yes compared to others he does seem to talk to her more. Even Joong-gil and Ryeon only go to her when they have questions or complaints but Jun-woong is definitely different. For someone as busy as her still making small talk with him, her telling him you are the same as ever and not clarifying what she means. When he asked her the punishment was to harsh for the ones who took their own lives and she just told him to remember the value of life. She's hiding a lot. And isn't it weird she just showed him Koo Ryeon's past like that even though he's part of her team letting him see all of it idk feels like it would be a privacy breach unless he was there and he needs to see it for some greater plan to work...

So ever since I read this I've been thinking what if Jun-woong was the grim reaper who escorted Koo Ryeon and maybe Joong-gil too (really curious when and how he died). Escort grim reapers are kinda important to the departed souls and I find it really weird we still haven't met the one who escorted Ryeon. Since she's good at keeping a straight face she never openly reacted to seeing him meanwhile Joong-gil doesn't remember much but he especially seems to dislike Jun-woong. There must be a reason for that other than the fact he's still just hurt by lohl leaving him like that and decided to hate the new team completely when Jun-woong didn't even do anything wrong, he just got caught in the crossfire of things.

What if Jun-woong is her son or grandson and maybe after escorting these two he decided to reincarnate for his love of humanity. And she's now always checking up on him for both family reasons and their secret reasons? We really don't have episodes left to unpack his last reincarnation but if he's someone who's tied to the Jade Emperor herself then we just need some big reveals and everything will fall into place!
