I thought the ending was going to be sad, so I'm glad the ending was cuter and happier than I imagined. :D
However episodes 19-20 were sooo confusing to me. I could barely keep up with the events when there were so many shifts from reality to dream. But there is one thing that I don't understand...
(SPOILER ALERT. avert your eyes if you haven't seen the last episodes. you've been warned xD) --->
How did Arang kill herself? I just don't understand, she was stabbed, then thrown off a cliff. How did she kill herself?

SPOILER ALERT!!!
Answer---->Because she choose to step between Sato's mother/evil fairy and Joo Wal! I mean Lee Seo Rim choose to save the man she love, a sacrifice that Arang keep repeating over and over again. At the end Arang is the culprit of her own murder. If she just stood still (a virtue that Arang never knew off) Sato's mom/evil fairy would stabbed Joo Wal and bye bye minion!! And remember when Sato said that everything was part of the plan mastered by Jade Hottie (Jade Emperor) but he choose to stab his mother, the same thing for Arang, she was there, but she choose to step up and defend Joo Wal!! Btw love that Joo Wal become a Reaper!!! <-----

I agree !

The fact of Ju Wal becoming a Reaper wasn't right on the ethical side because he killed too many innocent girls so he shouldn't be allowed to have such a high and pure position but on the dramatic side "I will watch you from afar, I won't dare to love you", it was sort of convinient.

Okay. Thank you. I was thinking something along those lines, but I needed some confirmation.

Near the end of drama my heart softened for Joo Wal so I was excited to see him come back as a Reaper. When you become a reaper I think you lose your memories of your human life, so I'm happy that Joo Wal won't suffer from his memories anymore. But I understand what Rourou is saying about Joo Wal's change being unethical.

Correct me if I am wrong but I got the impression reapers were ***people that needed to work off their sins/committed suicide because at one point toward the end Moo Young talked about he had killed himself. I don't think it's a honored position because they are basically work horses for the emperors. Also, Moo Young said that when a reaper "dies" he just disappears. Moo Young the goat was a special reincarnation by the Jade Emperor and the other guy said it was good because he could finish paying for his sins in heaven.***

I have no idea! I was so sure that it was a position of high esteem.. this is what happens when I click another tab while watching dramas. I miss important information! I don't quite remember....---> Moo Young talking about his suicide, but if what you're saying is true does that apply to all those that work in Heaven like the fairies? <----

--> I thought so too! It was perfect for him, even if he remembered her, even if he appeared in front of her for the rest of eternity he wasn't ALLOWED to have humans feelings of any kind for Arang! That is a no no in Jade Hottie's heaven's rules!!!<---

-->Yeah he needed that redemption (ish)! Actually, I think that he becoming a Reaper was more an atonement for his soul, that anything else! And hell he was very good killing/grabbing/kidnapping and taking people too!! So, it suit him somehow! But I have to say that was totally unexpected!! And the freaking goat!! Hilarious!!!!<--

-->So you are saying that the heaven's fairies and the hell's reapers are "ants" who work for the emperors and their work is some kind of payment? Maybe! But I really think that if you are a sinner you end up in hell or at least on one of the ten... and that depends on your sins!! And how the reapers and fairies are chosen? I think those "crazy old bastards" just like Arang use to call them, just chose them! Like in an army entrance exam..(# are the new recruits) 1 yes, 2 no, 3are you kidding?, 4 hell no!!! Mhahahahhaha Just like that! Well is what I think!!<--

i think i agree with this most ... and another point is (i believe)the reapers belong to the old guy from hell and not the jade emperor ...
