Jirisan: Eps 13 & 14 Open Thread
The thread is now open the usual spoilers, discussions, and my bitching. If I see YiKang again running outside in the blizzard without a hat, earmuffs and a pair of gloves, I’m throwing tomatoes snowballs at the costume director. Same if I see mountain rangers wearing white or off-white snow outfits in the snow. People wear […]

Thread is now open. Gifs from cuddlybitch’s tumblr credit: cuddlybitch’s tumblr Six more episodes to go. The pace should pick up now. I don’t need more filler episodes — like Episode 6 which revolved around YiKang’s first love returning to the mountain (Really, why should I care about her past romance? It has no bearing […]

By Episode 10, many of us here on this blog have already deduced that Kim Sol, the cultural anthropologist, is the serial killer. To our theory, let me add a few points: A. The trophies The cave where YiKang and HyunJo hid from the bear is the place where the serial killer kept his “trophies” […]
