This is one of those tales that stays with you, for I fell into Mina's story no less than she fell into the Spirit World, the enchantment of the Sea God's city seeping into me as she used her courage, wits, and a heart the size of the moon to unravel a curse upon both worlds. "Don't chase fate, Mina. Let fate chase you." Based (I think) off Korean mythology, the story has all the breathtaking elegance and beauty of Asian art, deceptively simple and bursting like overstuffed dumplings with soul. I loved every word of it and learned much besides.
So the fairest of farewells to Mina, Shin, Namgi, Kirin, Nari, Joon, Dai, Mask, Miki, Shim Cheong, and Shiki. Until next time.
