Immortal beings...

When human:

• They can both see the red string of fate
• Hana has limited mental/emotional influence
• Junhyung has his full powers
• Injuries and pain - same as if they were fully human
• When they die, they are ressurected into their immortal selves at the age of 21 and 22 (Hana and Junhyung respectively)

When immortal:

• Have full powers
• Injuries and pain - same as human
• Death - Doojoon usually ressurects them instantly to their gathering-place-warehouse-thing, fully healed - can come from injuries and stuff
• True death comes only when Doojoon wants it - he has to kill them himself, or he simply doesn't bother bringing them back

When Doojoon tortures Hana, she probably would have died of her injuries - but since he wanted her to feel everything, he partially healed her (so she can feel the pain without dying). If she had died, her injuries would have healed.

Plot outline

1. Hana is with Kikwang and they love each other a lot, and live together (true love). She slowly forgets about him and their relationship, and focuses instead on her career, money and ambition. Kikwang realises this; they argue and she breaks up with him. He is killed tragically. Hana feels really guilty, because she knows that he truly loved her. She commits suicide/is killed in the next year or something. She is resurrected as an immortal/angel/goddess thing, in charge of love. She brings love to others, but cannot fall in love herself – her curse and punishment for what she did to Kikwang (see what she’s missing out on)
2. As Soomin, she brings Jaehwa and Yoseob together, and meets Junhyung at their wedding. As Hana, she brings Hyunseung and Gyuri together, and this is when she properly meets Junhyung at their engagement party. He is completely taken with her. Naturally, she immediately realises his feelings and tries to stop him by going back to ‘heaven’ for her new assignment. Doojoon, being the cruel douche, assigns her to Junhyung.
3. She is completely screwed, because true love is never unrequited but Junhyung’s love is, since she can never love him back. She is doomed to stay with him until he dies. She tries to turn him to other girls, but sees the red string thing around her finger. She refuses to date him for a while, but eventually relents. She tries to tell him that she can’t fall in love, but he mistakes it as won’t, being the stubborn romantic fool. They are friends, something they both agree on, but he wants more. He proposes, and she accepts (nothing else to do).
4. After a few months of marriage, when nothing has changed romantically for them, he starts getting angry at her. He believes that she was simply leading him on, and his love turns to hate. Everytime he asks about her feelings she tells him the truth, which only increases his bitterness.  After all, you can learn to love. But she can’t.
5. Eventually they both die; Hana resumes her angel job and finds Doojoon has also resurrected Junhyung to be the Joker – someone who plants doubts, plays pranks and in general is very mean, and the opposite to her job, kinda. She brings people together, and he breaks them up. Now they are really doomed, because Junhyung still hates her for what she couldn’t do and Hana feels nothing but guilt and pity. Junhyung also hates Doojoon for assigning Hana to him, and for resurrecting him, but Doojoon says it’s all Hana’s punishment.

She understands that this was the price of rejecting true love.
