Like usual, I reappear nearly a year after my last upload lmao.
Basically, I’m still not over the ending of this show. I probably never will be because Cheolbong is by far the most realistic slowburn gay romance I had the pleasure of watching. So this video is my love letter to it, even if it's months after the drama has ended. I know there are others like me who haven’t quite gotten over this show and feel the same as I do. So I hope this video helps heal that pain, even just slightly.
The story was originally something I was making for my own fanfiction, however it has since turned into something else entirely. Please actually check out my fanfiction though, its a good slow burn fix it for those interested.

Recommend watching video with headphones.
The story:
Unlike the original ending, Bong Hwan wakes up from his coma and he completely forgets all about his time in the past. All he can make out in his nightly dreams is a blurred face that gives him such feelings of loss. He goes to doctors and therapy, trying to make sense of it but nothing is working. Finally he has a vivid memory so intense while he was awake, spurring him to rush to the library as if that would finally give him the answers. When he finds the book of King’s he is immediately bombarded with memories of Cheoljong. For the first time since he had awoken from his coma, everything is clear and he realizes then that he had nearly forgotten the King he had loved.
Meanwhile, Won Beom, (reincarnated Cheoljong) is having recurring dreams about a Queen in the water. There was something he was supposed to know, but he always wakes up before he finds the answer. Going about his business, he doesn’t realize that the person of his dreams happens to see him walk by. Bong Hwan is completely shocked that Cheoljong is in fact reincarnated and could hardly believe his eyes.
Won Beom finally has a dream where he sees Bong Hwan running through the hospital in a hurry, as if desperate to get somewhere. He is confused by this dream because why would he dream about this man he doesn’t know? It is then he meets face to face with the woman in the water, who reveals herself to be So Yong. She tells him who Bong Hwan is. Wanting to see for himself Won Beom finds Bong Hwan while he is distracted and sees him from afar, not believing his own eyes that the man before him is the same one that he has dreamed about. Bong Hwan nearly notices him, but Won Beom runs away feeling overwhelmed as all the emotions of the dream and memories take over. He feels guilty for not realizing that Bong Hwan was the Queen in the past, but how could he possibly make that up 200 years later?
Eventually, Bong Hwan and Won Beom meet and Bong Hwan explains what happened after Cheoljong was shot. He gets emotional and leaves, leaving Won Beom to feel like he could do nothing for the man who is clearly hurting. He feels horrible, like it's his fault. He goes off drinking into the night, various memories pouring into his mind as he drinks into a stupor and falls to the ground, staring at the stars. It is then Won Beom realizes that, just because he didn’t recognize Bong Hwan then, it doesn’t mean he couldn’t do so now. He could easily make up for all the times they missed and truly get to know and love Bong Hwan for who is, regardless of gender.
So, he calls Bong Hwan and slurs his words that they should meet and Bong Hwan rushes to meet him thinking Won Beom has somehow hurt himself. He scolds him but not before Won Beom confesses to him, surprising Bong Hwan with the same confession Cheoljong had given to him in the past. He laughs and smiles so wide his cheeks hurt.
They share a first kiss in the rain and start their relationship which is clearly full of laughs and teasing, but regardless of what happens. They were going to face their battles together.
Just as they did before.
