8.0/10 - Did anyone see anything in the video when the ran out?

I have to agree. Why doesn’t Jong Ryul just divorce her? I know divorce is a big no-no. I think Jong Ryul treat Dong Baek like that because he’s never fully treated her right. Plus, he’s ashamed. What bothers me is that no one scolds Jong Ryul for taking a kid and worrying a mother.

Pil Goo is super smart. I’m 100% sure he’s figured out that Jong Ryul is his dad. Also, he picked up on Dong Baek pushing away Jong Ryul and taking solace in Yong Shik. That kid is so smart. Right now he’s processing the information and figuring things out.

I feel for Dong Baek. It’s hard enough worrying about her well being. But to realize that the killer has been watching her child. Not to mention that everything is confirmed when the episode ends with Yong Shik investigating the fire at school. It’s pretty much confirmed someone started it. Not to mention he recognizes the lighter. Which could be a red herring. The serial killer(s) have to know that he’s on them. It could be a false lead. Or one of the killers will give up the other. I really do feel like it’s two people.

Yong Shik loves Dong Baek enough to support her in her wishes to leave. So that she and her son can be safe. It was moving. It broke my heart in so many ways.

But wow. Let’s talk about Hyang Mi!! Not only is she willing to black mail Gyu Tae. But she’s willing to sell a photo of Jong Ryul that has Dong Baek in it. She’s not dumb, and I feel like she’s no joke. So it will be interesting to see if she does get murdered. Though I can’t believe that she’s so selfish that she’d put Dong Baek in the line of fire! Let a lone Pil Goo. I really hope she doesn’t do it. I’m already so turned off that Hyang Mi would consider doing that to Dong Baek!

Overall this episode was pretty raw. Dong Baek totally breaks down and the sense of danger isn’t just around the adult. Joker killed child. It was confirmed a while back that he had. Which is always way disturbing. Taking life in general, but there’s something absolutely terrifying when it’s a child’s life. Dong Baek has every right to be worried about Pil Goo. Cause the killer doesn’t discriminate.

Sidenotes: I wonder if Dong Baek’s mom is going to her “other family” to get money? Also, I think Ja Young should be Jong Ryul’s divorce lawyer. It would be super satisfying to see his selfish wife crushed! I also think Jong Ryul and Ja Young would make for an interesting couple. *waffles eyebrows Either way I think Jong Ryul should wise up and just get it over with. Plus, it seems like his wife is sketchy and scamming him. Jong Ryul will keep the kid so in general I think he would win for not only being a man, but for having soul custody of the kid.
