What happened to Dong-Ma?
Love (ft Marriage and Divorce) bows out its third season with quite the dramatic turn of events. We’ve got the whole episode recapped with our thoughts on that one HERE.
In the episode “The Return of Dong-Ma”, Dong-Ma is revealed to have been killed by the Chinese military. His death leaves a large hole in the Chinese military, and many questions are left unanswered about his death. Some believe that he was killed because of his connections to South Korea, while others believe that he was killed for political reasons. Now that Dong-Ma has been killed, many questions remain about his death and what it means for the Chinese military. Some believe that this shows how important Dong-Ma was to China, while others believe that it shows how dangerous it is for China to lose such a powerful figure.
After the events of the previous episode, the show returns to its usual format with a recap of what happened.
The End of Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) Season 3
The reapers are telling ghost Song-Won that someone is going to die within the month and they will do so by killing someone.
When Dong-Ma goes into the bathroom at a clothing store, he is surrounded by a strange black smoke. ..
Dong-Ma eventually reconvenes his clothes shopping, but from afar the reapers watch as a ceiling panel collapses and lands on his head. Dong-Ma drops on the floor, blood trickling out the side of his head as he seems to be knocked unconscious.
Dong-Ma, a victim of the Reaper virus, is rushed to the hospital. The two reapers, now in a sort of semi-human form with swirls for faces, watch over him. ..
In the ambulance, Dong-Ma sits up, asking who they are and what is happening.
Is Dong-Ma really dead?
Pi-Young’s husband has passed away. Reaper confirmation points to someone inside the house dying within the month. Song-Won initially believed it would be Seo-Ban, but that hasn’t happened. ..
Dong-Ma is also watched over by those faceless reapers, which appear to have morphed into something quite different by the end.
Dong-Ma had an accident and was rushed to the hospital. He may have been “awakened” in the afterlife, but this is still a mystery. Why is this possible and what could be going on?
Why can Dong-Ma see the Reapers?
In the latest episode of “Ghost Whisperer,” we saw a ghost who looked strikingly similar to our favorite living character, Melinda. It was only after she left that we realized that this ghost was actually Melinda’s long-lost sister, who had died in a car accident years ago. In the latest episode of “Ghost Whisperer,” we saw a ghost who looked strikingly similar to our favorite living character, Melinda.

This season, we’ve seen various shamans able to see ghosts and, furthermore, the end of this season seems to point toward those who have had ghostly encounters can now see ghosts as well.
This season, Hye-Ryung was possessed most of the time. When she returns home, she notices the ghost boy sitting on the sofa. This could be a subtle hint that Dong-Ma actually sees the ghosts inside the ambulance.
So if not Dong-Ma… then who?
If Dong-Ma isn’t really dead, it could well point toward another individual in the household that may be close to dying. This could be who the Reapers are after.
Dong-Ma’s father, for example, has served his purpose narrative-wise. He’s patched up his differences with his boys across this season. But the month hasn’t passed yet, hence why they disappeared in a wisp of smoke. Dong-Ma’s accident could just be a brush with death but he could be resuscitated and revived through CPR.
It’s been reported that he was not dead when he was found in the clothing store. It seems likely that they took him to the hospital for emergency treatment based on the speed of the paramedics and the lack of a pulse.
What’s the most likely theory though?
Knowing the writers of this show, it’s fair to say that the above theories probably don’t hold much weight. Not only that, but those more astute than myself will point out logical flaws with the reasoning around how the ghost world works and why certain individuals can and cannot see them. ..
The most likely outcome is that Dong-Ma died from a falling ceiling panel. Him waking up in the ambulance is passing to the afterlife, where he’ll likely be taken by these two reapers.
In Season 4, the show’s main protagonist, John, is said to be hanging around like the others and may even possess someone else. We’ll have to wait and see if that happens.
Over to you!
Do you think the writers could be pulling the wool over our eyes and actually reveal Dong-Ma is still alive?
