I liked it more than I thought. But I'm a bit bummed the cinematography isn't as lush as some Chinese productions because this larger than life story warranted it. It could have been the Asian Lord of the Rings.
I ended up liking Arang more but was pleasantly surprised by Faith, mainly because of Lee Min Ho's character. He'll carry the drama on his shoulders.
But how can we have a HEA? Like you said, having CY in 2012 wouldn't fit with his character. Best option would be for the heroine to stay in the past but it would be a weird character's arc. The fortune teller in episode one didn't seem to imply she'll stay in the past. It sounded like she'd return to the present after a year or so.
And it's not looking good for Arang either with the heroine being a ghost and already dead.
Even Bridal Mask has higher chances of ending well for our main couple and that's saying something!
