Just one final bullet remains. Will Yee-jae be able to evade death and survive?

Will she die, or will they show us the entire episode of his regrets?
Okay, she grew old and died of old age. Does it count as the life lived?

What about the timeline? The antagonist will still become the maniac he was, nothing has changed.
He could not kill himself as the office worker (his 11th life) and alter the whole timeline. But instead, lives 12th and 13th made the whole show just mediocre. It could be much better if he’d live his life as someone else, died at some point, and that was it. And that would be his punishment, living his life as someone else.
Here they could introduce just different dilemma. First, he would help himself — his original self — before he would understand, at some point, that his life, his new life, his now, and his other life, his previous original life, isn’t his any longer. That would be more powerful than this silly mommy’s son story, and that would even open some possibility to introduce a second season, when he’d die his own death with that another body, the 11th, and this last attempt, 12 attempt, he’d go into his body, exactly as this happened this time. Or, the 12th life would be the mom, then 13th his own.
Well. This last episode just spoiled the whole thing, frankly speaking. I did like the ideas, I did not mind (too much) this lousy implementation, but the ending is just very weak.
