Comments	What a great plot of series! It’s unforgettable drama action I’ve ever watch and read.

 ❤👀

If you could exist in the story, in what scene would you like to appear? And what's the story?

In section when Yoon Chae Ok finished off Ichiro, I think it is the most brave action ‘cause surely she knows will face harder things. If I can exist there, I would be Yoon Chae Ok and tell or leave a message for somebody, either Jang Tae Sang or Griya House of Golden Treasure people. At least, Jang Tae Sang and others can make another plan to keep their time effectively. Besides all can be protective about Maeda’s presence and situation, so the incident at the temple was unlikely to occur. Then, how about you, guys?
