SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE BELOW!
I feel like both sides were molded for a purpose. The demons, to fulfill Gwi-Ma’s aims, and Huntrix to restore the Honmoon. Saja and Huntrix are like inverse mirrors in my opinion, for example though Jinu may or may have been pretty hardcore depending on how you view his past life, he was a kid going through extreme circumstances at one point; and submitting to the will of an entity promising his greatest dreams makes sense to me. And in terms of Rumi, to fulfill her purpose she had to suppress so many parts of her identity and who she is. Both Saja and Huntrix seem very overworked, always grinding at fanmeets, variety tv show and endless music ranking competitions- the grindset never ends for either side. Sure yeah Saja takes souls and Huntrix restores them- but if their roles were reversed, then to me it feels like both are serving a fated destiny,where being on either side is pretty rough.
That’s why to me i’d have loved it if both sides were like ‘im done with this purpose’ and teamed up to change everything from the roots upwards BUT YES I KNOW IT’S UNREALISTIC TT-TT
I just feel like the job was merciless for both the demons and Huntrix. It isn’t a lifestyle I’d wish on anybody. Also Golden seems like such a positive song, yet to me also it kind of reflects Rumi’s struggles- on the outside she seems invincible, golden, happy- yet inside she’s wagering such a massive war between her competing natures that her voice and mind are breaking to pieces. Zoey and Mira too- they are still struggling in their own ways, yet are doing their best to dole out hopes and dreams. It kinda had me like ‘wah… maybe this song signifies their hidden hardships and pain, not just liberation. Is it a kind of false liberation?’
Well yep my summary is: both sides go through a crazy grind, they deserve a break from their higher purposes or even better if they could defy fate yknow? Cuz by the end of the movie, I feel that same grind lifestyle is maintained and everything goes back to the status quo.
