Wow, Thank you for this :)

You're welcome! :) 

There's a thread on Twitter with major novel spoilers (not my content):

This was so heartbreaking to read :’(

I kind of regret reading it, tbh, but I've been crying since they started releasing posters months ago, so I'm a clown anyway

But I’m glad there’ll be sweet moments with them. They did get to experience happiness together even if it wasn’t for long.

I can't wait to see everything, the sweet and the bitter. I just don't know what I'll do with myself when it's over ㅠㅠ

I wouldn’t mind the last scene of the drama with Yi San dying and dreaming about being with Deok Im and their son.

Also here is a historical records Twitter thread by the same OP:

This is great, there's so much content on Twitter on what we see, like those flags in the garden in that last scene on ep8, for example. Maybe we should get another thread for things like that!

I'd *love* that, I'd be happy too with it ending with a voice-over with this text:

I saw a video analyzing the preview for episode 9 and those flags will be important in the next episode.

I’ll link the video below:
