Also one more last thing (lol) 70% chance there is an Seo Ri amnesia plot coming.

I might breakdown what I think each remaining episode will look like - but yeah I'd say at some point in episode 13 we're getting an amnesia plot that lasts thru halfway to seventy-five percent of the way into episode 14.

Think Dynamite Kiss (yeah...I know).

lol

You're missing my point and you're wrong about what Act 3 is supposed to be.

Act 3s are meant to solve the problem not create new ones. Which is why K-Drama and C-Drama endings often feel rushed. The lowest point should happen at the end of Act 2 - so next weeks episodes should have been this week episode and the start of Act 3 is them dealing with the aftermath and figuring things out.

Yes. The tropes are used lazily. Because they are about to change the whole tone of the show in the last episodes which is common problem with K-Drama and C-Drama rom coms that have to have a villain plot. Instead of pacing it properly we now get it all in the back end. Gone is the reason why we're watching and now it's a thriller or some such. Perfect Crown did the same thing.

I'd bet money we're gonna get an amnesia plot.

They can still surprise me - but there's a lot here that seems right in line with very common K-Drama tropes that I'm over. I called the ending of Perfect Crown in episode 8. lol. That's how obvious some of this stuff is. It's unnecessary and yes lazy.

Why would she be dead?

What do you mean? Shin Seori is in her body. She existed before Dansim entered her body which is why everyone was surprised by the personality change. And she has been a factor. We have heard about her all the time. We've seen her when she was young. She has always been present b/c Dansim is in her body. And that is a typical plot point for these shows.

This is what I wanted as well. It does not look like we are getting it. But I'm open to being surprised. lol

4 episodes is not a lot of episodes for all the remaining plot points AND to deliver an ending that I"m *assuming* will give us some time with them together.

No. I think Mundo gets handled in both timelines at this point.

THIS!!!

Yep. So people saying she's not back in Joeson are in denial. Souls move back once the comet passes.

They always make it unnecessarily awkward - except the first kiss - which was executed perfectly.

One last thought - as someone else pointed out in a comment thread - the comet passing means the souls are returned to their bodies. She definitely back in Joeson. I think everyone just needs to accept that. lol

People think "Destined With You" - I think that's what we will end up with in the end.

Two reincarnated people who have full memories of their past lives.

I think she'll wake up and have all the memories of her past life. A straight reincarnation at that point and not a soul swap.

This. The comet pretty much confirms that she's back. I think Segye is a straight reincarnation and less an "isekai" - but the meds have likely suppressed those memories - I do beleive that.

Also, I think there is a 50/50 chance that he makes some kind of deal with the fiancee to help him take down Mundo.

I don't see how that plot point just dies - and possibly they do the thing where she has the revelation that forcing a man to marry you is a bad idea and gracefully bows out.

Also in an earlier episode Mundo's spy announced that Grandpa had moved his shares to Segye. It wasn't announced tho. Expect that to come back up as well. Don't know if Mundo would have been able to do anything about it - and maybe it is a well kept secret that when Segye finds out he's able to force a vote to (or unilaterally remove) Mundo from the chairman position.

For the record, there are not enough episodes for this BS which is why I was worried when we weren't getting much movement on the villain plot that they were gonna back load it all to the third act and the last few (4/5-ish) episodes.

I don't think it's a dream at all. I think she's in a coma and her soul is back in her body in Joeson. Now whether it's at a time before execution or after that's up for debate BUT it all stems from whatever Woo Woo the shaman did.

This. And my guess there will be way too much of him in these last 4 episodes.

Based on watching many shows/movies (not just K or C dramas) with these type of soul/reincarnation/transmigration themes - my current theory (leaving Mundo stuff out):

Either Dansim is transported back to a time BEFORE she was executed OR she's right after the execution. Now if you're asking how is that possible...my guess is the Shaman got her body before it could be deposed of and whatever woo woo she did essentially is allowing Dansim to still be alive.

Either way I think she rights the wrongs in the past. Deposes the King and frees the Grand Prince from exile - basically starts a coup. Maybe he becomes King - those details don't matter, the point is she rights the wrongs of the past and lives happily every after with the Grand Prince - or some such.

PRESENT DAY - Seori comes back with all the memories of her past life (Prob awakens after the Mundo problem is dealt with, my guess is she's in a coma now) - so she's effectively Dansim's reincarnation. Segye is Grand Prince's reincarnation and they get together and live happily ever after. The details of how we get here are up in the air - but that's my best guess at the moment.

Thoughts.
