I am not sure how you can play God and claim that.
I am not a medical professional so perhaps I used a wrong term BUT when an autistic child says that they do NOT want to spend time with an adult, it means th adult is doing something really nasty. All the controlling done at the police station etc is not just bitterness. There is something else beyond it.

I am just thinking how my mother all her life was able to hide that she simply despises me, and in the last year able to hide that she keeps telling my brother to destroy me. Yet at the same time she manipulates me and claims she loves me. My brother at least TOLD me, and my mother claims it never happened - but I myself overheard their conversations and my brother, when confronted, admitted it.
My mother is an amazing "criminal" and so - what would make her totally discard me? Right now I take care of her. I guess if she finds someone else, she would show her face and throw me to the street.

the funny thing is that I found my letters I wrote as a child and it is clear my mother was like that from day 1. And I have seen red flags all over and I knew she is SEXIST to the max and will destroy me easy, but I never eveer thought she COULD go this far, but she CAN.

Watching this gross killer movie - which I never watch - proved to be an amazing life lesson for me.

If this killer was THERE and could have killed ML and his wife, but didn't, how could they be so patient and what is their motivation?
This is similar to any historical drama or a family drama where someone patiently waits to get that throne or chaebol company or something like that...

The underlying question is... if a villain is reaaaaaly close to you and keeps silent... and keeps doing their dastardly deeds ***right at you**** right by your side*****, while keeping a friendly face and lying to you**** this is possible only if you trust them or do not think you should take precaution measures*****
So this villain keeps you "alive" for the purpose of milking you out.
SO MY QUESTION IS - HOW THEY PRETEND FOR SO LONG, AND WHAT PUSHES THEM TO GO AFTER YOU TOO
..... this is a situation so common in life, from simple stuff like stealing your cookies to more complex stuff like stealing your property and destroying your peace, all the way to murder...

So we are really watching a lot more intense version of a daily drama with a cheating husband, or manipulative parent, etc....

ok we will see but seems like there is more to it... like... .why is she a horrible mom? as if she has a history of crime and pshycopathy too, not just bitter... We will see :)

interesting how she could get away with it... supposedly brutal king who is not hesitant to torture and kill, is hesitant to step on toes of th pretty 4th evil?? Hm... fishy

bc it is easier for the script writer :) They do not have to invent a new, creative, meaningful story. They just show ppl cooking and eating. It is SIMPLE.

This is the plight of 12 episode dramas - every12 weeks you HAVE TO invent a completely new story. That is really hard.
The impatient unfocused mind-foggy calous spoiled audience is guilty is asking for this. But they are also baited, by chinese cheap shorts and all kinds of trash on internet.

Also, this time they kinda got away with food competitions and tasting bc it is the first drama that uses it SO MUCH but now they ran out of that idea too.

I finally understand WHY I am watching a shady gory thriller psychological drama. I fast forward through the gory scenes and violence, and focus on "am I like the mom" and now ... "th villain was right under my nose."

The moral of the story is to never ignore your gut feeling that something is wrong and to never ignore snakes right under your nose. It is usually someone who has your trust and you never suspected them - like the friend in this drama - or someone you did not WANT to suspect in spite of all the signs - like my mother ....

The moral of the story is that ppl have to be tested and show their true worth and loyalty to you by their actions in real life.
Nobody is perfect but those who care for you will always put you high on their agenda and will never ever intentionally or neglectfully harm you.

She is clearly a problem. Why? An accomplice? Trying to hide something of hers,,,?

Go home honey :) Are you too ashamed to say that you think drugs are ok and stealing is not??? and that is why you feel pressed to harass me? Do you smoke weed or something worse, why do you feel so compelled to justify drugs?

FYI I pay for Viki, every month. And Viki does not have this show in my region. Viu also doesnt work in my region. I am traveling currently. I dont think Viu worked even in the USA. So what do you want me to do?

Ok I do not want to be watching a cooking class anymore, I am not here to look at how to cook, I want to see a STORY with PEOPLE.
This drama was made with food as a Lead Actor, so ok but food had THREE episodes, it is imbalance in lead acting.
It is time to go back to human lead actors.

Aaah Joseon is so dangerous and our 21st century good girl STILL has not registered that in her brain full of chicken...
And the King is too reckless in bailing her out.
This is NOT going to finish well.

so you are creating your own drama by trying to torture the audience?? Dont you think that is kinda morbid? esp since you are interested only in food, not in people...

Exactly. I dont want to watch a cooking class. I want to watch a story

REad his post - he wanted food only and no reomance. He is not the kind of person even remotely interested in character developlement. Do NOT listen to him

no thanks. The food part is boring it is like being ain a cooking class, ..... and only the romance is interesting - imo

you forgot the scenes where h drills a hole while listening to music. VINCENZO IS A MONSTER.

Something is weird about her though, breaking those pots and leaving him in bed to sleep, and having that friend.... How did she get that friend... ? I am convinced now she is not the killer but I wonder if she is helping the killer

ML is not the killer for sure, poor thing he is suffering.
M's wife is not the killer, we saw how the wife had to connect the dots when he told her who his mom is... So it is not the wife. She didnt know that JIS was his mom. BUT if it is wife's friend, was the wife helping her friend... ?
BTW the wife could be lying she is pregnant.

It is very likely wife's friend. Bc that is rather tall woman who is actually a man so he can punch and kick strong. Also, she/she was coming onto MinJae and that Joy person was like that too, and she killed MinJae in a porn-like whipping situation, just like the hotel guest.
But the hotel scene villain in that big gray bodysuit looks like ... an old man? Grandpa? Or at least a very tall man. It is not Grandpa since that person ran away so fast. The person is young.

I thought the police woman could be the killer but she has an alibi.
The fat policeman too. Both of them are unworthy of being police, they are not interested in solving the case but in ... what? their own little egos... ?

So... are policewoman, fat policeman, wife, and/or Grandpa somehow related to the killer and protecting, collaborating... ?

Granpa followed JIS in many places so he could have seen stuff too and/or done stuff. Maybe he set his own wife on fire.

Based on ep 6...
