The original Chinese source material, Bu Bu Jing Xin , has a second part set in the modern world. However, the Korean adaptation ends with a crucial difference: In the finale, Ha Jin returns to 2016. She visits a museum and sees a historical painting of Gwangjong with a modern hairpin—her hairpin. She collapses, crying. Then, a stranger with a mask hands her a tissue. The camera reveals his face: it is a modern man who looks exactly like Wang So. He says, "Have we met before?"
Wang So begins the series as an outcast, feared by his family and used as a political weapon by his mother. His arc throughout Season 1 is a slow burn of redemption. Through Hae Soo’s eyes—who is the only person unafraid of his appearance—he learns that he is worthy of love. However, the tragedy of Wang So is that the very love that heals him eventually drives him toward the ruthlessness required of a King.
