While other characters attempt to cement their immortality through finances, Chunhui humbly makes bricks. Her lack of pretension, humility, and sincerity allow her to hone her craft, technically and artistically. While Geumbok’s theater burns down, Chunhui’s bricks outlive her and are used to build the theater in the capitol. Through her bricks, her legacy prevails, and her life continues after her death.
