Let us enjoy the ending!
Thanks @pkml3. Hi @Cleo, I certainly want to have a happy and enjoyable ending to this show. I want the long-suffering hero and heroine to come out of this able to have kind of a normal life (as far as they are able), with baby.
I think I’ll wait for the subs before I watch. Nerve racking since these are the last 2 episodes!!!
～̎̎٩(⌒͡∀⌒͡⌯̊)̥̊◦
Hey my lovely @GB,
TVN just uploaded three teasers from Episode 11. I won’t say anything…*sighs*
After all the material that TVN have posted on their YT channel, I don’t expect a happy ending.
Please embrace yourselves…
*Facepalm*
After all these teasers I was totally frustrated how Goo Reum treated Zi Oh.
At least now there is some sense to her actions, but still…
That last scene broke my heart…🥺🥺🥺
I just finished Episode 11. As I posted above, I was totally frustrated with what TvN showed us in those teasers.
I mean they made Goo Reum to look like she was kinda crazy with the wasy she was treating Ji Oh and we thought that she totally lost her mind.
Since this comment is raw, I will write the good stuff first.
Captain redeemed himself. He saved Goo Reum and her baby.
He also told her who the real culpit is for her parent’s murder.
Kim Cheol-Soo, you are dead. Have we told you that?
Ji Oh, as we all know, decided to be in the same side with the Bad Guys, having as his TOP priority Goo Reum and the baby. He thought, that was the right thing to do in order to protect them.
From one point, I can understand how he took that decision. I mean they were targeting him for so many years and they were a huge Organization that involved many different layers in the society. Ji Oh didn’t want the same thing to happen to his family.
That was the major friction between JiReum couple. So, they had different points of view. Goo Reum even admitted that she surpassed the fact that Ji Oh killed her folks.
In the end, she apologized to him when she found out the truth.
At the same time, she left Ji Oh because “you are not a monster, but we made you one”.
The whole scene broke my heart. Two people who loved each other deeply, broke up.
The reason for that “statement” was the fact that the baby has the same problem with Ji Oh. When she is using electicity she burns her brain cells, and gets amnesia so she cannot remember her mom / dad / folks / everyone.
So, Ji Oh took the baby to “Grandpa” in order to find a way to fix it. Although Goo Reum doesn’t know it, Ji Oh was against the electrocution because she was too small, but Grandad wanted to proceed.
Still, Goo Reum strolled in anger and took the baby away, before hell broke loose with Yi Son and the mercenaries. They attacked everyone in the Church. Ji Oh saved her again, but Goo Reum abandoned him as I wrote above.
Since the afternoon I embraced myself with the fact that our OTP won’t be together. There is a ray of hope, from the Episode 12’s Preview, but I won’t believe it until I watch it on my TV.
P.S. Yi Son hasn’t died yet. That injection has made him invulnerable, but how many more voltages should you take in your system to die Burned Arm Man? Dude, are you kidding us?
P.S.2 I thought that Writer-nim had lost his mind and ruined the ending for a possible Season 2. So far, it seems that it is not the case.
P.S.3 Now I can leave a *sigh*, because I thought they ruined the ending for us.
Poor, poor, Ji Oh. I don’t think I have seen Kim Rae Won in anything before, but he is really good in this role.
It seems that Creepy Cult is much more than a Creepy Cult, with connections in the business world and politics, and that makes it even creepier…
My hopes for the grand finale:
1. Creepy Cult leader dies and the whole organization is exposed and prosecuted.
2. Creepy Crazy scientist dies and his unethical experiments are revealed and condemned.
3. Creepy Director Kim is personally dispatched by Gu Reum.
4. Creepy Burned Arm dude either dies or/and has a change of heart.
5. Ji Oh, Gu Reum, and Electric Super Baby survive and live happily ever after on a sheep farm.
@Cleo @Snow Flower
Oh dear, I’ve no time to watch and hardly dared to read you. I have the same hopes as you @Snow Flower. Do you feel at all inspired to compose anything for L.U.C.A.?
@Cleo, So the greater the disappointment now, maybe the better the denouement will be? I’m almost tempted to wait for your verdict before I watch these penultimate episodes.
Kalimera my lovely @GB,
I was thinking to write something about the ending later on. I am on the road atm…
Episode 11 was good according to the plot. Goo Reum discussed with Zi Oh. So at least she was not a lunatic pushing him away…
The story so far…
L.U.C.A. The Beginning is a story about the evolution of Species and all the moral issues that arose from such an action. This Evolution doesn’t happen in Nature, but it is engineered in a lab under the authority of a Cult. The corruption in the series is tremendous.
The Cult has connections to a scorned scientist that his ideas were condemned from the scientific society. They have also ties within the Government, the NIS and several other Institutions making them powerful to what they do to people in order to succeed their cause.
Ji Oh is the main protagonist and the result of a genetic experiment. He is a human / animal hybrid the first of his kind and he managed to flee from the lab when he was a kid.
He lived a live where he was alone, with no memories because of his “gift” or “curse” as he calls it, being hunted down repeatedly by people who doesn’t remember.
The whole series concentrates in the humanization of Ji Oh.
He is being seen by others as a “Monster”, but in fact from the beginning of the series until the Episode 11, Ji Oh has been more humane than those who are called human beings because of their genome.
Goo Reum is the only human being who sees that Ji Oh is a person indeed and not a monster, hence their encounter changes Ji Oh bit by bit.
After many ups and downs, Ji Oh eventually starts a family with Goo Reum.
Ji Oh loves Goo Reum fiercely. They both love each other deeply.
Their real problems start when Goo Reum and their baby will be abducted by the bad guys and GR is being manipulated to think that Ji Oh killed her parents and that he is indeed a monster. Goo Reum’s reaction to all these is a mixture of postpartum depression, fear for her baby, shock that the man she loves killed her parents and tiredness because they don’t let them be.
Ji Oh has been a fugitive all his life. Goo Reum doesn’t know what that means and she wants them to run away, but Ji Oh finally realizes that he cannot run away any longer. They cannot overcome the powerful Organization.
Hence his decision to become the “monster” in order to protect those who loves dearly. For Goo Reum that is unacceptable. She thinks that Ji Oh is losing his humanity and they are the reason for it. So, in the end of Episode 11 she is abandoning him.
Episode 12’s Hypothesis:
We know that the baby girl has the same dysfunction with Ji Oh. When she is using electricity her brain cells are being wiped out and she experiences memory loss. That is the way her body handles the regeneration of her cells. The stronger ones remain while the weaker ones are being wiped out.
“Grandad” told Ji Oh that she will continue to do so and she will forget everyone every single time. He didn’t lie about it. He asked Ji Oh when that stopped for him and he answered the time he saved himself when Yi Son thrown him from that building. So, the only way to make her stable was to electrocute her so as her strong cells to remain intact and not experience amnesia.
That scene made Goo Reum to fear Ji Oh, although Ji Oh didn’t want their daughter to be electrocuted because she is that young. Still, Goo Reum being stubborn and unfortunately doesn’t give the benefit of the doubt, she takes the baby away, after she accuses Ji Oh that he is not a father material.
If the first scene of the series that shows Goo Reum being followed by minions will be used in the Episode 12, then in order to save her baby, Goo Reum will throw it in that empty space, because she knows that she can protect herself. I believe that the baby will produce more electricity than her small body can handle and in that way the baby girl will heal herself from amnesia.
Still, if Goo Reum survives from that attack, where is Ji Oh?
In Episode 12’s preview, a shooter aims Ji Oh from above and my guess is that is Attorney Jung’s order. She wanted to have only Ji Oh’s cells, in order to make the embryos, but kill them all when it that was done.
She implied that, in Episode 11, to the Cult Lady. They are all expendables.
So, I cannot say if Ji Oh, Goo Reum and the baby will manage to escape in the end. I wish for that, but I cannot be that sure.
Still, the Series will conclude with Goo Reum avenging her parents’ death, which was her main purpose as a character.
But at which cost this will happen, that remains to be seen…
Dear Writer-nim,
A woman, especially a mother doesn’t have revenge on her mind. Her first priority is to protect her child.
So, you made Goo Reum to be a boy in a girl’s pants. I do hope her ending won’t be tragic.
Ji Oh doesn’t deserves a tragic ending as well. They both suffered enough.
We would be happy if they manage to escape from all this chaos unscathed trying to find their way to become a family again.
@GB, I started working on a piano piece. I hope to finish, record, and post it in the next couple of days. Got to do something while waiting for the subs…
As I made my way through Episode 11, I began to realise that our writer must be collecting everyone on stage for the finale. Otherwise, I could not have watched further. The vision of Yi-Son driving an SUV, immediately after having yet once more been spectacularly “killed” by Ji-Oh was almost too difficult to swallow.
And as for Miss-I-know-best (Gu-Reum), you’d think that, on learning Ji-Oh had not in fact killed her parents, she might have experienced a shift in motivation and moved to his side to become his supporter, but no. She slammed a grating down between them and locked it. What a woman! If Ji-Oh is not father material, neither is she mother material, and I’d hate to think how she might bring up the still un-named baby.
@Juriel,
I didn’t want to write earlier, but the Writer-nim chose for Episode 12, the worst scenario ever to end the Series.
I was prepared and I am waiting to see more with Subs, but still I am kinda numb…
I just finished Episode 12, so my thoughts are raw.
I have to say that the ending is sad, but satisfactory. It definitely opens a window for Season 2, whatever they say at the moment.
Goo Reum sacrifices herself for Ji Oh, because she continues to love him, no matter she says, and she tried to change Ji Oh’s mind about his decision to side up with the Bad Guys.
She told him not to continue with the cloning project, but he had made up his mind.
She hid the baby and they didn’t find it, instead someone else does and adopts it.
Consequently, losing his wife and daughter in one day, Ji Oh totally embraces the concept “I am the Lion of this jungle”.
I have to say that some characters’ endings were satisfactory.
Hence, the usage of the specific word above.
It was not an ending that I prefered, but since last week I couldn’t fathom a way for Goo Reum to survive, since the Writer-nim made her shun away Ji Oh repeatedly.
In a way, Goo Reum choose ethos above evolution. She chose to be a human being. She chose to be kind and she was novel in her need to protect her innocent but hybrid child and Ji Oh the way she could.
Baby girl didn’t get a name from her folks, but from what it was shown, she is a sweet kiddo with superpowers.
I will write some more tomorrow…
I finished my LUCA-inspired piece. I am practicing it now and will record it soon. Stay tuned!
@SnowFlower,
I cannot wait to hear your composition! Bravo!
@Cleopatra Episode 12 has not appeared on my feed yet, but with your comment that some of the characters’ endings were satisfactory, I’m finding it difficult to contain my soul in patience.
@SnowFlower Will you put the LUCA composition on Soundcloud? I’d love to hear it.
Oh, Gu Reum-ah, you should have trusted Ji Oh and not abandoned him. Now his faith in humanity has disappeared and he has joined Team Crazy Scientist.
This is how I imagine a hypothetical Season 2: The clones don’t have the same ability as Ji Oh’s biological daughter, so Crazy Scientist wants to find her for experiments. Meanwhile, Ji Oh is also searching for the baby. I hope Ji Oh’s faith in the goodness of humanity will be restored by a kind nurse, and with her help he will expose the evil organization responsible for the LUCA project. He and his new love will be able to live in peace with the baby.
Τhe Conclusion.
The Writer-nim stayed true to what he wanted to write. His goal was to underline the moral issues of Science playing God. He succeeded in that.
It is obvious that he didn’t have in mind any romance, neither for JiReum or Yi Son and Yoo-Na, nor a character development of Goo Reum.
He also ended the Series with the worst-case scenario the audience would have dreamed of, a sad but realistic open ending for a possible Season 2.
For the Writer-nim, Goo Reum represented Humanity, while Ji Oh was the generated hybrid who had to choose how to proceed with his life.
Goo Reum, as her name also depicts, tried to give comfort to Ji Oh. She truly loved him and with that love alone she made him more humane than ever.
As for Ji Oh, he loved Goo Reum fiercely, even though he had grown up in an environment there was a lack of love with the exception of Goo Reum’s dad.
Although, he grown up in that way, he managed to become a person that knew what was right or wrong and he understood how the world was.
He even started a family, when he fell in love with Goo Reum, but their happiness was shortlived, because the Organization would find them.
Things started to change between the JiReum couple, when Ji Oh sided with the Bad Guys, because he realized that he cannot outrun them for long and certainly cannot win the Organization by himself.
From that point and on, Goo Reum thought that Ji Oh started bit by bit to lose his humanity and that was that made her leave him.
Goo Reum’s words: “You are not a monster. But we’ve made you one.” It is a pivotal statement.
Up until the end, Goo Reum was trying to bring back her Ji Oh the human being. She was afraid of the Ji Oh the Hybrid, the powerful Lion in the Jungle.
His Vision of the future was catastrophic for Humanity and he was blindfolded by his need to protect those who indeed needed his protection, but in the end Ji Oh failed.
Goo Reum’s sacrifice was the best example of how human beings protect their loved ones, by giving their own lives in order the other one to survive.
She knew in her heart, the only one who could fix this mess, was Ji Oh because of his abilities and she told him so.
So, should someone watch this show?
IMHO: Yes, watch with curiosity, keep the didactic lesson and move forward.
Note: This is my interpretation about the ending of the Series. As I did for CLOY, I am doing the same thing for L.U.C.A. The Beginning.
I am keeping only the good stuff and letting myself grieve of the possibilities for another ending.
P.S. The acting of Kim Rae Won and Lee Da Hee was superb.
Everyone involved in the Series gave their best self, whether that may be a main or supporting cast.
Here is “The Sky Electric,” my LUCA-inspired piano piece.
@Cleopatra, I found the show’s premise very interesting, but I think that the execution could have been more subtle, with fewer beatings and more character development. The acting was very good though.
I highly recommend another drama by the same writer: Chuno (The Slave Hunters). It is a historical drama, very intense and emotional, sometimes difficult to watch, but worth it (in my opinion). It features a very memorable acting performance by the one and only Jang Hyuk. I completed a rewatch recently and was blown away again by the awesomeness of the writing, acting, and directing.
@SnowFlower!
Bravo! I heard your composition! I really enjoyed it! You captured perfectly Ji Oh’s stormy days…🌹
@SnowFlower,
I agree with you. Some beatings could be omitted.
Also, the Writer-nim focused only in Jo Oh’s character development and forgot the others.
I guess he was totally focused to share the deafening moral message and he forgot to check some things that would made it even better.
I really enjoyed the Series, though. They did a good job with the material all got in their hands. The acting was superb…
P.S I will check the Series you told me… 🙂
@Snow Flower, Wow! That was powerful. I sensed the energy flashing like electric discharges and reverberating. A reflection of the emotional torment of JiO, trying to reconcile the better part of his humanity with that of the savage survivor. Your music brought images of the pulse of a storm unleashed and yet still brewing.
@Cleo, @Snow Flower, I feel like @Snow Flower, that it was a pity so many characters were so flat, I couldn’t get invested in their needs or desires, and show couldn’t engage me. With JiO turning to killing directly and since our main couple/family could not be reunited, and since I really do not want crazy scientist or even JiO to succeed in unnaturally populating the world with ‘electrifying creatures’, show leaves me ‘hopeless’.
My lovely @GB,
I totally understand you. I had embraced myself for a bad ending.
I was sure that Goo Reum won’t survive and I had shared my thoughts with you.
The thing is that I cannot blame anyone, except the Writer-nim for his choices.
I was shocked on Monday when I saw by accident a teaser and I realized that the Series will have an bad ending.
Kim Rae Won is amazing as Ji Oh.
Noone else could bring out all those emotions that well.
As for Lee Da Hee, she was great as well.
I am sad, because in the end we are seeing that Evil wins and that is what makes you hopeless…
Still, I will remind you something that Goo Reum said and did herself: There are always going to be people who are tenacious, even if they will lose their lives in the end…
@Snow Flower Your composition is so right for L.U.C.A.: The Beginning, especially with the hint of the pastoral idyll in the major mode. Excellent construction and performance. Thank you for letting us hear it. Lovely piano, too.
General Comment:
I think L.U.C.A. has been wound up as neatly as possible, and I think I see the significance of “The Beginning” now, following Ji-Oh’s remark concerning the ending of the Holocene Epoch. If we are left with predictions which probably will not be realised, the series has presented questions and issues we can’t, and shouldn’t ignore.
In fact, L.U.C.A.: The Beginning has joined my quite small collection of memorable watching, and the contributing factors are: the storyline itself, the technical excellence of the production, the strength of the direction, the screenplay by our admired writer-nim, and the acting, especially by the main cast.
I can’t get over the way Kim Rae-Won shifts his character from the wounded hero archetype to the man of power, and although I believe a second season will not happen, this is one plot line which I wish would continue. The character of Gu-Reum has irritated me through the entire series, but that’s because Lee Da-Hee is an outstanding actress and has created her self-centred world so strongly that one comes to believe in its necessity. Kim Sung-Oh creates the villain Yi-Son’s character perfectly, building it until there is absolutely no chance of redemption for him. All his vicious energy has gone, and he has to turn to his antithesis, Ji-Oh, to find an ending; I like that twist, and I’ll certainly watch anything that Kim Sung-Oh appears in from now on.
For me, L.U.C.A.; The Beginning has been outstanding in many ways, and while I agree that the violence has perhaps been too frequent, possibly somewhat gratuitous, at least it’s kept the stunt cast in work.
Finally, thank you to all my contributing colleagues. Your insights have been fascinating and enlightening, and I’m looking forward to our next collaboration.
Special thanks to @Cleopatra.
@Juriel, I started watching LUCA because of the writer, who also wrote my all-time favorite drama The Slave Hunters. I do see the similarities: very intense and heartbreaking subject matter, expertly choreographed fight scenes, the importance of tenacity in the face of adversity.
I don’t know if Season 2 will be produced, but the ending felt like a set up for another season. I feel like Ji Oh’s arc is incomplete. His faith in the goodness of humanity needs to be restored for the story to end on a hopeful note.
My dear @Juriel,
Kalimera from my part of the world. The weather today is cloudy and I guess, it kinda fits how Ji Oh was in the end.
I really enjoyed everyone’s remarks, insights and theories about what is happening. Thank you for your kind words and our collaboration was something I was looking every week.
The more the days are passing by, I realize that the Writer-nim wrote his story in a two dimensions way.
The first one is what we all saw. The second one is using the Series character’s as Archetypes.
The more I think about about Goo Reum’s train of thought and what she said to Ji Oh in Episodes 11 and 12, I got to the conclusion that :
Goo Reum represents Humanity.
That’s why she kept moving all along, she was tenacious, she wanted to find the truth and it didn’t matter to her, if she was going to lose her life in the process. She was just being truth to her beliefs.
In a way, she was trying to find her place in a very aggressive enviroment. The whole setting on L.U.C.A. was like a primitive jungle where the strongest could do anything to the weaker ones. Philosophically speaking I have encountered the fear for such a dystopian setting, Socrates was afraid of what the Sophists (philosophers) were saying back in 5th -4th B.C and to make it short:
It was about how Power overcomes the Law. Welcome to the Jungle setting. (sic)
Rings a bell?
In reality people are afraid those who are different than us. At the same time, there are some people who are giving shelter to what is different and whose actions can affect how the world goes.
At the same time, the Series stressed the rhetorical questions:
Who is a Human being and who a Monster?
Can a person be good or bad?
Socrates said: “ουδείς εκών κακός” -> no one is voluntarily wicked.
Socrates believed that a person who knows that something is evil won’t do it.
And someone does something that is evil, Socrates was sure that he didn’t know it.
Socrates’ train of thought was that if you have knowledge (αρετή) as arete to distinguish good (what is ethical) and evil (what is not ethical) you will act accordingly, i.e. you won’t do something evil. Kant several centuries later, added another point on Socrates’ argument.
For me the whole Series is an Ethical Question.
What should we do if something like that happens in the near future? That is the challenge.
Lastly, If we get a Season 2, as the Director wanted and shared his thoughts in the Press Conference back in 01/27 then, I believe that Goo Reum’s and Ji Oh’s baby girl will be the main antagonist against her father.
The only logical scenario is that she will take the place of Goo Reum and will try to save Humanity and maybe her father, if it is not too late for him.
Correction: Kant several centuries later, added another point on Socrate’s argument about free will.
@Cleo, you’ve certainly been think through this show and the possible alternate endings. I feel that show needs to close the circle that it started. and therefore I agree that it feels right for a Season 2, to have Ji Oh return once again to being the more humane person, compared to humans. Also, in completing the loop, JiO should meet his daughter again.
In actual fact, I cannot imagine the child able to hide for long, because there will surely be reports of her electrocuting people close to her. Also surely if the NIS is still behind crazy scientist, they have the manpower to hunt down the little girl. The only thing now is that perhaps JiO has chosen to respect Gu Reum’s wish to have baby hidden and to live a ‘normal’ life, so that the search has been called off.
My dear @GB,
The only MSc degree I want to do in Philosophy, If I ever go for it, is Ethics. Hence, my love for Aristotle and Kant, because these two Philosophers were the ones who focused on the matter.
When I encountered L.U.C.A. the premise of the Series drew me in immediately.
I agree with you that the Series need a Season 2 to close the circle. As for the child, I was pretty sure that even Ji Oh wanted to respect Goo Reum’s wish about the child to be hidden, I don’t think that would be the case for Attorney Jung.
Also, I am really curious, how are they going to handle all those babies with the same powers as Ji Oh?
They should expect a rebellion, you see, it will be in their nature to become the Alpha in the pack.
Ji Oh is the Alpha, but how long is he going to live? Although, he has genes from the immortal eel, he is also partly human. So, he might age but slowly?
A child might want to overcome him. This is how the Nature works.
Hopefully, we might have an answer to all those questions. If not, we can still imagine, right?
I finished LUCA! Yoo!
Are you here Cleopatra? I know you like this drama too 😉
Since episode 8, the drama is back with a bang. And I was not disappointed by the continuation and the end.
Only one thing to consider: this drama is really violent. And even more, the very nature of the situations, a woman having to fight while protecting her baby, it makes it really hard.
I’m ok with that, but knowing that it’s more of a story made like violent Korean cinema, than a TV drama. The drama should have a different age category than other dramas, or at least warn the audience before, about this.
The episodes 9 to 12 avoid the repetitive side of the episodes 3 to 7, which were for me the major weakness of the drama.
From episode 8 on, the plot-twists follow one another, the reversals of allegiance that drop the jaw, the brutal and shocking deaths.
All good stuff!
There are still some improvements that could have been made, to make some of the deaths more striking, and to make the spectator feel better the strength of the rebound. Being expeditious is not the right way. Or you can be rushed, but it takes an art to make it impactful.
I think of other dramas that use this kind of rebound with the power to further unhinge the viewer’s jaw, and generate an intense emotion. Such as Empress Ki for example.
The end is original and I had forgotten the forewarding of the first scene of the drama. So there we are at the end.
I really suffered for the heroine of the drama, each of her misfortunes in the story were hurtful. And it was terrible to see her being martyred so much, or being physically beaten, even if on her side, she was able to defend herself.
The performance of the actress or the character, a bit cliché at the beginning of the drama, becomes magnificent during the last five episodes.
The character of LUCA, despite his strange choices towards the end, is quite logical, given his brutal personality, and a sense of compassion largely eroded by his past misfortunes as much as his regularly reset memory.
The whole part with the embryos, and the genetic manipulations or tests is perfectly horrible.
Finally, it was fun to find the prime minister of TKEM in a role of annoying secret service bitche.
@Snow Flower,
Great piece. It fit well the tragic and twisted ending.
Also about Chuno : it’s a drama with powerfull twists and emotions.
A good choice about historical drama, the story is hurtfull, and there is wonderfull actress Lee Dae Hae in this.
It was one of my first historical drama, making me fully enjoy this genre.
Hey @WEnchanteur!
I am here! I am glad you enjoyed L.U.C.A. The Beginning. 🙂
Do you believe they give us a Season 2?
@Cleopatra,
The drama is clever : I could end now, or there is room for season 2.
It depends on the rating I suppose. If they want to make a season 2, they can do it. But as Gu Reum is dead, it won’t be easy. She was a base of the drama.
Maybe the drama will need a huge age gap. Like, 15 years later.
A season 2 need an emotional link around LUCA. And the only emotional link was Gu Reum. But now it could be their daughter. So, no more romantic story but a father trying to help his daughter. It’s not the same. Maybe Gu Reum isn’t really dead ? It look like she’s really dead, so…
@WEnchanteur,
My guess is that if they will continue with a Season 2, then their daughter will be Ji Oh’s antagonist trying to safe Humanity.
Goo Reum is dead. I don’t think she will return. She got a bullet in her heart and Ji Oh couldn’t revive her.
I expected a sad ending. I have told @GB that Goo Reum might die a week before the finale.
I didn’t expect that Ji Oh would team up with the Bad Guys completely.
Anyway, I really enjoyed and liked these series, even though it was that dark…
