As my headline, Kim Soo Hyun ending the show, can we just let our hearts burst? Why was he so fucking sexy, though??
When he stood on the steps and just looked like a freaking god, I felt every part of me being on fire.

Also, can we just take a minute to thank Sulli for her last ever appearance in drama before her passing. Rest in Peace, sweetie.

Now to the important stuff, I adore IU, but this show hasn't gotten the right appreciation for the males in the show.
Yeo Jin Goo, Pyo ji Hoon, Shin Jung Keun, Kang Hong Suk, Lee Do Hyun, Lee Tae Sun and Jo Hyun Chul.

I'm going through each of the males because I have a lot to say: (Also I'm saving the ones I have most to speak to the last).

Sanchez (Jo Hyun Chul): I felt for him when he lost his girlfriend. Honestly, I thought she was cheating or something. Most of the time, I felt like he was very much in love with his girlfriend, who also seemed imaginary, but when Chan Sung sees her in Sanchez house and knowing that she's already gone, Oh my lord my heart almost combusted because I felt for him, and her. And I realized it was a great side storyline; it made me very sad for Sanchez, though.

Sa Shin (Kang Hong Suk): Honestly, this grim reaper is like the most compassionate I've ever seen (Well, let's not talk about Lee Dong Wook's Grim reaper in Goblin). Sa Shin is most definitely in the same league, but also, I like how he had a funny side to him, especially when he was drinking with Sun Bi.

Kim Sun Bi (Shin Jung Keun): Okay, this back story had me so sad, how he was screwed over and made to look like not con artist but a fraud. Having his past cleared up and for him to move on. And also to be a hell of a bartender.
He was one of the funniest, always putting his foot in it, and being proud thinking he's done so well.

Ji Hyun Joong (Pyo Ji Hoon): I want to give him a big applaud. We've been told his entire story from the beginning, and he had his goals, but when he falls for the soul trapped inside the body of Yoo Na. They are adorable, he's funny and very supportive towards her because she's supposed to be dead. But he also has a goal that when his sister dies, he'll pass over with her, and that broke my heart so hardcore.

Yun Woo (Lee Tae Sun): This death was like the worst one for sure. I cried with him, and I cried with Man wol, who cried for him. He was the best brother and friend to her, and he loved her as only a sibling would, yet they weren't related, but he really proved that family isn't based on blood. But how you treat someone. And the fact that Man Wol gets to meet him in the present time and he's dating her enemy, that even made me angry. I wished for Man Wol and Yun Woo to have more interaction in the current time. But she only really looks over him, but I can tell she wants more but never takes the step for it. And the fact that he finds her familiar breaks my heart.

Go Chung Myung (Lee Do Hyun): Can we just take a minute, I have to have a minute.

The fact that he stayed next to Man Wol for those thousands and thousands of years. Because he loves that much, it got me so hard. It makes me teary-eyed just thinking about it. Their story was one that really grasped me, no matter how much he had to hurt her, it was so obvious how much loved her. Even when he betrayed her, he did everything for her sake, when he had Yun Woo's life taken away it was all to protect Man Wol, and their love story breaks me because she hated him for all that time. And just wanted revenge, when he was there watching her hate him. He took his punishment just to be close to her. I had the theory that Chan Sung was the reincarnated Chung Myung, but it was just Chang Myung showing the man that was about to fall in love with the love of his life why she's like she is. Chung Myung is the hero of this drama for sure. And his love made me really fall for this drama—also the right actor for the role.

Goo Chan Sung (Yeo Jin Goo):
To start with, I felt like Jin Goo wasn't really right for the role, but at the same time, now one couldn't have done this role as well as he did. (I think he looked way too young for the age he was trying to portray). As I said earlier, I thought for a long that Chan Sung was Chung Myung, and by the looks of it, so did Man Wol, even though she hoped it wasn't so. She was right. But Chan was really the start of the drama, he showed compassion, reality checking, optimism. Also, he was a hell of a good friend to his friends. It's sad he had been slandered and hurt before, but it also made him into Chan Sung. The fact that he helps Sanchez see his dead girlfriend for the last time, and also comes to terms with the tiger and being able to see ghosts. And the fact that he'd go to heaven to see Man Wol if he had too. He becomes a beacon and is really the hero of the show.

I'm noy going to lie, love IU as a fiesty woman, she really made me happy this show. (The whole Scarlet heart feel, but a bit more bitter.)
