Over and over again, Lee Rang had escaped the punishment he so rightly deserved. Instead of appreciating the time he shared with Lee Yeon and remaining a good person even after the events of Lee Yeon leaving for the Samcheon River, Lee Rang still decided to take a turn for the worst. Yes, he was dealt with a bad fate with having been born with a mother who didn’t want him, but he was also lucky because he had been taken in by a brother who greatly cherished him. Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said for Lee Rang. Therefore, it was only logical that it was Lee Rang’s turn to die for the one he loved which was Lee Yeon.Įverything in life isn’t all rainbows and sunshine, what matters is what you do despite being dealt a bad fate. Both Lee Yeon and Ah Eum/Ji Ah weren’t dealt with a particularly good fate, but yet they still remained good people. First Ah Eum died to save Lee Yeon then Lee Yeon died to save Ji Ah. Everything in TOTNT is cyclic if you think about it. In the end, it was Lee Rang’s turn to sacrifice for the one he loved. Saving the life of two people doesn’t make up for all of the lives he had taken. Additionally, it is noted that Lee Rang did also assist the Imoogi’s group to bring the Imoogi back to life which caused for a slew of horrible events to occur in the first place. Yes, he did do some good towards the end of his life such as taking in Yuri and Kim Soo, but that shouldn’t discredit all the atrocious acts he had committed in the past. We mustn’t forget that he murdered hundreds possibly thousands in wake of his anger. However, when we looked at his character arc’s as a whole, his death was justified. Many said that the writer did him dirty while others wished that Lee Yeon and Ji Ah would’ve died instead. One of the biggest complaints many have had is the death of Lee Rang. Anyways, let’s put on our thinking caps one last time for TOTNT! I know many of you may feel utterly devastated or somewhat confused by how TOTNT ended, but I hope my post will be able to comfort you somehow. I did say that I would not write another TOTNT post unless there was anything worth discussing in the finale.
