Truck-kun doing its job perfectly by sending Danshim to another world. Classic. The way that it went down at the restaurant along with the father-figure of the person she loves which was likely instigated by an insane power-hungry chaebol screams Vincenzo to me (iykyk). This show has been doing shoutouts to many other dramas.
I'm hoping they do this right because the puzzle pieces have been sprinkled throughout and now they need to piece them together. Segye's therapist (and #1 Segye/Seori shipper) has been dropping hints: time isn't linear, past lives can run parallel to present lives. We think we know everything that happened in the past but more reveals seem to be on the horizon. Like why is the Grand Prince's love poem/portrait torn in two? Is there more to Kang Danshim's name being erased from history than just being labeled a criminal?
The drama has made it clear that Seori, Segye, Mundo and Gwangnam are reincarnations of Danshim, the Grand Prince, the King and the dog. This means they are same people/beings but with new memories. Though it's pretty obvious from many things that Segye has said and done that his subconscious is aware of his past life, even before the dreams started surfacing.
If their past and present lives are running parallel, then there may be things in the past that Danshim has to do to move sideways to the future. From what I remember, at the time of her "death", the Grand Prince was in exile but not dead. The Grand Prince only put up with this to save Danshim. Once he learns of her death, he has no reason not to take action. Now that Danshim is revived, she is no longer confined to the palace and could seek out the Grand Prince. She can tell him about their future lives and send a message back to Segye that he will see in his dreams. They can't stay in the past because the king has too much power and hates them so much he won't let them stay alive for long if they are together. He would hunt them down like he hunted the dog.
There is also the odd events around Seori's brief moment as a celebrated child actor. After that role she was never able to channel that talent into another good role. Her grandmother has talked about her temporary personality change as a child. Was this around the same time? When Danshim first came to the present, she inexplicably shed tears watching Seori's younger self in her iconic role. As if her soul was linked through space and time to another version of herself.
After some probably tragic adventures with the Grand Prince in the past where they both actually die while promising to meet again, Danshim's soul memories will try traveling to the present. I agree with the theory out there that Danshim will get stuck in Seori's body as a child for a time. Danshim doesn't know if she will make it to our present day which gives her the angst needed to play the drama role perfectly. Then she will wake up one day with both Seori and Danshim's memories blended together and help Segye (with his fully integrated memories of being the Grand Prince) set everything right in the Wonderful New World they create.
