i just feel like i have to talk about this because i really love how they handled sangtae’s character. he was clearly written to be the main antagonist that’s keeping yongpil and samdal apart, and even to the point where holding onto this grudge for over 20 years sound almost unreasonable. however, i think it’s a great portrayal of grief and how it can ultimately consume you.
everyone deals with grief differently, and i saw a great post explaining how ko mija and yongpil handling the grief around sangtae made it even worse for him. the plot kept circling back to him being too stubborn to ease up on the hate that i began to wonder if they were going to be able to solve it well enough. but episode 14 delivered because while it was almost getting frustrating seeing sangtae relentlessly not listening to everyone around him, by adding the fact that due to his failing vision and memory, he’s afraid of letting go of this grief. which really ties in to the beginning of the episode between yongpil and samdal, when yongpil was saying how he’s afraid of forgetting samdal. by showing how similar yongpil and sangtae loves, makes it hard to truly hate him (even if he’s a stubborn old man) because our main character is exactly the same way.
but i especially love the way they wrote samdal talking to him. it tied it up so neatly that i can’t help but be impressed. by having her say word for word what he told bu mija a long time ago, after he visited her at the temple, made it seem like it was bu mija telling him that. and i think it was something he really really needed to hear. the actor did an AMAZING job at portraying the realization that he really doesn’t hate samdal, and he was too caught up in his grief that he didn’t realize other people were suffering too. so when he ran after her and seeing yongpil standing next to her,,,, bro TEARS
i just really appreciate how they handled his character because he’s not a bad person—he’s in pain and he doesn’t realize his actions are hurting people he cares about because,, he just happened to really love his wife. and the catharsis of having samdal being the reason to free him from his grudge when he was the one that deliberately kept our main couple apart just shows the intricate relationships of these families but how, at the end of the day, they still care for each other

I like to imagine how Sirius would do in university when he never in his life had to actually study before and also that untreated adhd + mental illness is starting to take a toll on him. I mean he would ofc be very smart and brilliant but also. University burnout is real. (not projecting here what so ever)
batsy this is SO real like until year 2 of uni i was always like what is studying?? just read the chapter you’ll be fine. yeah you can start the essay less than a day before the deadline no problem!!!
✨but then✨
and sirius is totally the kinda guy to keep up with that even though it’s not working. it’s a mindset that’s really hard to get rid of. he’s burning himself out even more by doing everything last minute and putting so much pressure on himself—if he’d spread it out over several weeks, life would be way less stressful. but no! he’s doing everything last minute!! and he’s still so smart and bright and it really shows in seminars, but he’s also quietly sobbing as he attempts to fill up an empty word doc with sensible arguments because the deadline’s coming closer and closer by the minute and he isn’t done yet. either he’ll somehow manage to graduate or he’ll crash and burn and feel utterly useless for about 2 years.

marigold “goldi” gamboge
she/her
- story: goldilocks/the goose girl
- race: human (mark of storm half-elf reskin)
- class: circle of the shepherd druid
- princess of a small kingdom called filigree
pre ep 4:
- as a young child she did the whole goldilocks story in the woods just outside of her castle
- when she turned 16 she began the journey to marry her prince with her handmaid and talking horse (falada)
- was tricked by her handmaid into switching places and acted as the castle’s goose girl for a year
- developed a close friendship with conrad and was able to have a hush hush courtship with the prince though he still didn’t know her true identity
- the time of shadows came before her story was over
- her handmaid, still posing as a princess ordered conrad executed and had her exiled from the kingdom
in between worlds:
- wakes up in the field where she used to shepherd the geese
- falada is there as her guide
- when they are walking to the next world, falada reminds her that while it will be worse, she has already overcome terrible circumstances
- when her memories merge, it’s the memories of getting married to the prince and her handmaid getting the punishment from the story (placed in a barrel with nails and dragged behind horses through the town square)
post ep 4:
- has a bearskin cloak from her young encounter with the bears
- conrad is still alive in this version
- her story completed in this version almost exactly like the original grimm’s story but her prince seems utterly uninterested in her once they’re married
- no one in the castle takes her seriously (they think a princess so easily tricked has no place making decisions for the kingdom especially in times of war despite her being perfectly capable)
- before she meets back up with the party she disguises herself as conrad and fights in the war, but is found out and ordered by her husband to stay out of his battles
- uses this as a loophole to meet up with the party and fight her own battles
