I just think this whole thing is ridiculous! Not the drama as a whole, because I really love it, but damn it why does the hero always have to leave the heroine for her "own safety"? It's too damn late. If he was worried about hurting her because of what he is, he should have made a greater effort to leave right away. Now it's too late for this game. There are far too many people on the bad guy's side that know they love each other, so if they can't beat Kang Chi, who are they going to go after??? It's not difficult math. The only way she'd be safe is if they figure out a solution together, instead of him just running off because he doesn't want to hurt her. It makes me just want to beat him over the head with that broom until Kang Chi understands. It's not like she's not going to be involved anymore either. She's not the type. So she'll end up getting captured, because no matter how kick ass she seemed in the beginning, the last few episodes she's been the easily hurt/weak female lead they always change into towards the end of Kdramas. Then Kang Chi will have to come back anyways. Whereas if they stuck together, he'd be able to stop her from getting hurt because of the bad guys. Besides, they can't cut off their fate now because the monk already said that if she didn't run from the man she met under the tree, their fate is tied.
I guess I'm just a little bitter that they're pulling out the cliche I expected from the beginning of the series and was hoping they'd avoid for once. If the OTP actually stuck together and fight together, things would be better, but very few work with this logic. I am glad that papa is back to his old self because I adore him more than anyone else. <3
