Episode 13:
1. Assassins are dumb af for not checking the bodies. As we know from saeguks people never die from falling off cliffs into the water and more so from rolling off hills.
2. Cliff by the river with a dead tree was petrified bodies dumping spot into the lake in Alchemy of Souls. Irl, there's no lake or river down below, but lots of greenhouses, which are coverd by CGI.
3. Second couple continues to be the most interesting to watch.
4. The plot continues to be sloooow af. Should have been 12 episodes max.

The guard did in an earlier episode. He heard everything and he looked sus after he walked away. But since he acts clueless and CP vouched for him as a witness, it means there's a high chance of guard having a double.

2023 TV series version is trash. Watch 1994 original movie, absolute classic.

Watch the movie. And while you're at it, watch True Lies (1994) movie as well. Depending on what the wife's secret is it's gonna be like one of these two movie plots. Personally I'm thinking it's gonna be more like True Lies.

Tomorrow is one of those dramas that starts to get interesting after a few episodes when everything is established and it isn’t one of those with obligatory happy endings for every story it tells. I liked that there was no annoying soap in it or dumbassery, Uncanny Counter was very hard for me to finish because of that. And Rowoon’s acting is way better than that noob kid who was playing ML in UC.

The synopsis sounds more like True Lies (1994) movie.

Tbh, I'm baffled he continues to be cast at all, considering how other actors get yeeted out the industry for far lesser offenses. Must be greasing palms with other slimeballs like him.

I think it was a bit funnier than the first one.

Lee Kyung Young...let me guess, that mofo is gonna play a corrupt villain again 🙄

Episode 1, lol. She comes to ML and reveals her name to him immediately, so that he can help her clear her name of being framed for murdering her family.

Gratuitous nudity.

No 😂

Thanks.

Was it like that? I must have missed it. And that drunkard husband was sure dumb to believe such weird story.

I disagree, it didn't have to be a badly shoehorned romance at all, could have been just friendship. Spy grandma, for example, also had a lot at stake - from her daughter, to her life. ML wasn't really essential to the success of her plot, just another one of her accomplices.
And after it was revealed he's done it not only for dubious romantic reasons (were they even romantic and not simple human compassion?), but also in hopes she'd help him get his revenge as well, I even started disliking his character. His fake cheerful smiles didn't help his image either, the guy's clearly as damaged as FL. You gotta admit - he's dragging her into another revenge plot and it is not a healthy ending. I wrote about it in detail at the end of my spoiler comment.
Also, if they really wanted to sell the romance here, they could have made FL look at least mildly interested in him, but she acted like a stone faced stray cat who only visits human houses for food and shelter, and leaves again on a whim.

No, specifically these were not answered.

The real name tag was stashed by Yeon Jin's mother all those years. It was given to her by the corrupt cop who closed that murder case. FL blackmailed the mother to give her the tag. But then simply used it to mock the both of them and throw a wrench between them by pinning it on Yeon's Jin's clothes - the tag could not be used as evidence since the police obtained it from her much later, after the murder scene was swiped already. The police wouldn't have been able to confirm it was there at the time of murder.

Because she looked way older than her peers from the same school year. And her actress is indeed way older than them, she's just a few years younger than spy grandma actress. Not to mention ML, whose actor's so young, he can almost be her son. A strange choice of cast for the leads, imho.

1. She was not raped, but other bullied girls that came before and after her were. So be prepared.
2. ML got involved with FL through the death of another bullied girl. Her body was stored in the morgue by his doctor father, who was the owner of the hospital, in case there would be a re-investigation of her case. ML learned about that body, about her grieving mother and later about FL, who was from the same school and had the same looking scars. He got interested in her and followed her around through the years. He ends up helping her exact her revenge. They end up together in the end and FL will help him exact revenge on his father's killer.
3. The teacher was a pos, who only cared about his own reputation. He gets his due later and it's truly karmic. All the evil guys will get what they deserve in the end.

Unanswered questions/plot holes (?):
1. What FL's trash of a mother had on school kids mothers to bribe them? Why were they giving her gifts?
2. How spy grandma's husband figured out that the main evil bitch killed somebody and where did he get main bitch mother's phone number? Spy grandma showed him some messages from the main bitch but there wasn't anything about murders there.
3. Who were the goons FL worked with? They were not the same goons who worked for the corrupt cop and racketed money out of her by staging a car incident. Where did they come from?


Afterthoughts about the main plot:
1. I was kinda disappointed how easy it was to dismantle the evil bully "friends" from within. They had the means to quitely kill off FL, but they were so dumb and arrogant, they waited until it was too late without taking her seriously.
There were also some way too convenient things that happened. For example, that dirty cop who decided to betray the main bitch and her mother, all on his own. Or that school teacher who had enough of the evil sleazy teacher and sold him off to FL.
Or classic "fairy tale" like not-so-random meetings with characters FL helped or met in the past, who decided to help her in the present.
I'm not saying it made the plot worse, but I think revenge of that sort is a realy dirty business and FL getting away with her hands clean and conscience clear was not as...I dunno, believable?

2. The main bitch was an exaggerated true psycho without any redeeming qualities. To the very end she couldn't even comprehend what FL wanted from her, what compassion and forgiveness is. So it was easy for FL to exact her revenge on her without guilty feelings, after she confirmed how unhinged she remained through the years.
But then again, if the main bitch actually grew up/matured and realized her past mistakes it would have been much harder for FL and she may have abandonded her revenge altogether. But that wouldn't have made much of a plot.

3. I don't wanna go too much into shoehorned romance, but I wanna say that ML's side revenge plot kinda ruined the ending.
FL deserved to be happy and to find a new purpose in life with a person in her life who's like a healing light. Instead she got herself involved in another revenge story of a character who's as damaged as her, if not more, and there's no ending to it. And the darkening sky as they both entered prison's gate in the end was kinda foretelling.

4. And why ML even read those letters from a psycho? What will be his revenge? He's a doctor, but he wants the psycho killer dead. What will he do? Stage a prisoners fight so that his hands will be clean? Treat him to death? It's kinda even more messed up than FL's revenge, since the psycho's already on death row, waiting for the execution of his sentence. And it is already known that he's an even bigger psycho than the main bully bitch - there's no point in trying to explain to him where he was wrong.
Anyway, I feel like FL and ML wasting the rest of their lives on this sort of trash, by poisoning his already doomed existence until he dies, is just a poison to themselves. Like all psychos, that trash just craves attention and worst punishment for him is oblivion - ML should have just ignored his baiting letters and let him rot in prison until he's executed.
