This article contains spoilers.All good things must come to an end, but sometimes that end arrives a lot sooner than you'd like it to.
The story starts in the present , with Hee-do in her early 40s , before skipping back to the late 1990s when she was a high-school fencer and about to meet Yi-jin, then a jobseeker in his early 20s, for the first time. Narratively, the diversion makes sense. Yi-jin and Hee-do are deeply in love, but by then we already know they're not going to stay together so something's gotta give.
Co-opting a historic national tragedy from another country to set in motion the denouement of a mostly romantic story is seriously problematic.
