#woon lives

The full official novelization of Warrior Baek Dong-soo has been fan translated into English. Want to know Woon’s final fate in the novels? (Spoiler: he lives.) Want to know what becomes of Cho-rip? Want to download a copy of the whole translated book for your very own?

Did you know that the official novelization of Warrior Baek Dong-soo has a different ending, one where Yeo Woon lives?

The scene from this book where Woon and Dong-soo run hand-in-hand under a starry sky has been fan translated before, but now my friend Milliecake has translated the entire book. We’re posting bi-weekly recaps of each chapter with excerpts and commentary. There are lots of huge deviations from the show, including:

- The answer to Jin-joo’s parentage takes a very different turn

- Hong never even attempts a coup

- Everything between Chun and Gwang-taek plays out differently

- There’s no gross proposals for the girls and nobody asks Jin-joo to put down her sword

- Cho-rip was never meant to be a rotten bastard

- Ji-sun actually has lines

- And Woon’s ultimate fate? It’s never been done in fanfiction before, and it’s fabulous.

If you’re curious about all the ways in which Episode 29 really robbed us, come have a read. We’re two chapters in with 28 to go!
