A beautiful movie, I was especially moved during that last scene where they were "sword dancing" together.
I don't really know if he died or not, if that was the truth or not. If he did die, then in a way, that sword scene was like Namsun doing a tribute and expressing her love for him. (Is it true that she loved him? That's what I felt, and I hope it was real.)
If he didn't die, as we got to see a glimpse of him during the ending, then perhaps they were really "sword dancing." On that note though, I am doubtful, even though I wish they could have had a sweet ending together.....
I only have one complaint! That is, it's frustrating how we never got to know his name!
