Eun Jo and Yi Yeol’s souls are mysteriously switched
All this time, Yi Yeol and Hong Eun Jo have often experienced unexpected soul swaps. Neither of them could predict these incidents because they always happened suddenly. Neither of them knew how it happened or when the soul swaps would occur. The soul swaps actually began after Hong Eun Jo and Yi Yeol received mysterious bracelets from a young monk. However, neither of them realized this because they received the bracelets at different times. The first soul swap occurred suddenly when Hong Eun Jo was in danger and Yi Yeol was drunk at the palace.
In the end, they both realized that the soul swap would occur when one of them was in danger. The couple would help and rescue each other. Besides the two of them, only a few people knew about it.
Their couple bracelets are broken
Towards the end, the royal secretary Im Sa Hyeong was arrested for his crimes. However, he managed to escape after realizing who Gil Dong really was. This led him to seek out Hong Eun Jo, a skilled thief, with the intention of revenge. Im Sa Hyeong appeared, pointing a sword at her from behind. Hong Eun Jo, realizing that her bracelet was glowing, immediately cut it off. She was afraid that this dangerous situation would cause her to switch souls with Yi Yeol again. On the other hand, Yi Yeol did not realize that his bracelet had suddenly broken.
Fortunately, Yi Yeol learned of the dangerous situation Hong Eun Jo was in after finding out that Im Sa Hyeong had escaped. Hong Eun Jo was saved, even though her life was threatened by the poison that appeared due to the reaction of the fire. The woman needed time to recover as before. The breaking of the couple’s bracelet also stopped the soul swap experienced by Yi Yeol and Hong Eun Jo. Fortunately, no more dangerous incidents befell them. Yi Yeol and Hong Eun Jo lived happily ever after after Yi Yeol abdicated the throne to the Crown Prince.
The beginning of the soul swap
Before the end, the drama explains how the soul swap between Yi Yeol and Hong Eun Jo came about. Unexpectedly, it began with Yi Yeol drowning when he was a child. Hong Eun Jo turned out to be the person who saved the Crown Prince. Yi Yeol, who was searching for his savior, met a god (Kim Jae Wook). The prince said that he would repay his savior by helping him if he was in danger. These words brought them back together as adults. In fact, the soul swap that occurred also made Yi Yeol and Hong Eun Jo become more entangled and fall in love with each other.
The god himself had actually been watching over Yi Yeol and Hong Eun Jo for a long time. He often changed his form into a little monk, a butterfly, and even a cat. His figure also played an important role in the romantic relationship between Yi Yeol and Hong Eun Jo. Although it often causes trouble, the soul swap actually shapes the love destiny of Yi Yeol and Hong Eun Jo. This happens because they become increasingly entangled and close due to the unexpected incident. Many things also serve as lessons for the couple.
