Dokebi Bride 5

She WAS pretty devastated though, and the aftermath is that she runs away from home. What follows is a serious deviation in the direction of the series where a rather creepy psychological story plays out about a guy who was abused as a kid… and it doesn’t really have much to do with Sunbi at all, actually.
While the stuff was going down with the girl who got Okboon’s shaman stuff, I had NO idea what was going on. Does the girl see her spiritual guides? Were the guides trying to make themselves invisible to Sunbi and she could see them anyway? Isn’t it implied that the girl at least can’t hear the spirits that are following her, yet they talk to her anyway and she commands them? Huh?
Luckily that didn’t last very long. I rather like that this series is pretty unpredictable like this, and I like that Sunbi has pretty much cut herself free to encounter whatever will happen… but I do like the mystic stuff, I was sad to see a deviation from that in this volume, though spirits turn out to have a lot to do with the story in the end.
