In the words of Alice in Wonderland, this story is getting “curiouser and curiouser.”
There are several things I would like to point out in these two episodes.
1. Her sister ex-BF, Gyeol.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he was already dead, and he committed suicide, too. He was having a hard time, he said, before he disappeared without calling or showing up.
His counsel to her to hear only the good things and to not listen to the bad things is an advice given by the dead people to the loved ones they’ve left behind, like YiRang to YeoWool, the mom to Da-Il and Da-Il to his mentor Sang Seob.
That’s probably why YeoWool stopped and said, “No way.”
The possibility of his death didn’t dawn on her till then, and she couldn’t believe it.
But what’s up with that black bracelet of his? He kept on touching it.
2. The time when Sun Woohye’s body rejected the wandering spirit was right after the death of the preschool principal in Episode 4. Her plan to kill two people at the same time, YeoWool and the principal didn’t work.
With so many deaths going on, it’s hard to keep track of the sequence of events.
3. Yes, I agree with popular opinion that the nurse/caregiver of Sun Woohye might have been the one to drag Lee Da-Il through the muddy field and bury him.
But if Lee Da-Il were in a coma (as some viewers insist) then the nurse/caregiver of SunWoohye couldn’t be the one taking care of Da-Il’s comatose body as well.
Why? Because he just up and vanished with her!
Is it really possible that had he been taking care of Lee Da-Il, too, he’d just abandon him? After going through all the trouble of hauling him to the field, burying him, digging him up again, leaving him in the morgue, picking him up from the morgue, miraculously resurrecting him (something that only happened to a certain Jewish person 2000 years ago), admitting him to a hospital as a John Doe, and finding him expensive funding for his long term care, he would just leave Da-Il there???
4. In case viewers missed the significance of the birthday:
YeoWool was born on the day the child Sun WooHye became comatose.
According to the nurse, YW had been chosen because she was “Someone with a similar family background, someone with a sensitive soul that can see her. On the day she jumped off the rooftop, 25 years ago, when her anger started to grow in this state. You were born that day.
The interesting thing about this is, at the preschool, when the Woman in Red lured YW to kill herself, she attempted to guilt-trip YW with the hallucination of YiRang holding a birthday cake.
And then, YW was lured to meet up with her sister’s ex-boyfriend Gyeol with a birthday present. He said they were gifts from her sister. Verrrryyyy interesting, right?
I pointed this out to you back in another post — that the whole Episode 4 began and ended with her BIRTHDAY. I thought it was significant back then but I couldn’t tell how. Now, we know….her birthday was the WooHye’s “death”day.
5. Distrust for the police force. That’s a common theme here. CEO Lee, the father of the kidnapped child HaEun, didn’t trust the police. Lee Da-Il didn’t trust the police. And now his friend, the reporter Kang Eun Chong, also distrusts the police, too.
I don’t know if this is relevant or just the writer trying to take a jab at institutional corruption.
6. The mystery of 5 years.
Last week, I alerted my followers/readers (hahaha. All 8 of them) here about the mystery of 1 am, didn’t I? As it turned out, that time is a significant piece of the story. Now, I’m going to focus on “5 years” angle. But I’ll have to do this in another post because it’s long and picture-laden. (Come back in an hour…I’ve to eat breakfast now. lol)
Here’s the link. Be careful, it has lots of pics.
7. The hospital connection.
I’m still developing this one.
That’s it for now.
