Lol. It's been 3-4 years since the production of the script... I hope the amount of time they took enabled them to make a rational and appropriate ending that enables us to have a satisfying closure to the story, and ties up all loose ends.

It doesn't have to be a "good ending" where everyone lives happily ever after, it just needs to be an ending where I don't feel like 'sending knives' to the writer.

Pray hard.

(If 'God' doesn't answer the prayer quite a few people might end up as a 'monster' hahahahahaha)

I don't think JBR is the serial killer. Didn't he join the investigation to search and capture the serial killer, and even got into an accident while chasing him?(In the trailer)
How does that work if he himself is the serial killer...

I feel like if JBR's the headhunter's son and if he turns out to be actually really kind, the headhunter will feel really disappointed and 'sad'. He wishes for a kid to be like him so that another 'Han Seo Jun' can live on.
Now, he sees that his son is the complete opposite of what he wanted. His son isn't another 'Han Seo Jun'. That's gotta deal some damage right?


I think Yo Han is an admirer of the headhunter. A fanclub exists... he's probably in it.

I'd say he's the serial killer, but not the headhunter's son. The headhunter met him in the prison, not because Yo Han is his son, but because he wants to get Yo Han to work for him. If this doctor is really an admirer of the headhunter, it's very likely he'll follow his commands.
(Cough-Matthew brown from Hannibal-Cough)

To get Yo Han to do what?
To trigger JBR's "dormant psychopath"; to feed JBR's "evil wolf"; to break and rebuild JBR into the "second Han Seo Joon".

That way, the headhunter can live on forever.

If this isn't true I might just write a fanfiction lol, I can already imagine the plot.
(It's only the second episode out of twenty, what am I saying)

Uwah, my brain is now confusion.

Ikr, her stories are usually great and engages you to the end... and then she proceeds to slap you with the ending.

Hahaha if they unfold the story in an appropriate manner, as long as there are stills things to theorize and speculate about, we may end up with well over 10,000 comments by around episode 12

Ikr, now the comment section is exploding, the number of comments just doubled in 2 days

Just a little ridiculous thought that popped up--
This drama was based off a murder that happened in 2017, and the writer wanted to make the psychopathic killer repent and regret at least in a drama.
KMC was talking about wanting to end the headhunter's son's life in front of him so he could feel the pain of losing someone dear to him...

Imagine JBR turns out to be the hh's son and actually dies in the ending. c:
Imagine if KMC was the one who pulled the trigger, contrary what the headhunter said; that he would never be able to kill someone.

(Take this with a spoon of salt lol)

So glad it managed to snow and they were able to film with the snow setting. Without it that snowy mountain wouldn't have felt so chilling.

All the mind boggling past and identity aside, who actually attempted to kill Chi Kook?

In the drama they stated that it was done "by an inmate who did it to teach Chi Kook a lesson".

I mean... well sure, I'll totally believe what they are saying. Totally... :)

In the scene in the grapefarm, the victim was wearing Chi Kook's watch, alongside the other "trophies" the killer collected.

I'd like to call this case... a "showcase".

Now, where did the culprit get the watch from if an inmate was the one who did it? Did the supposed inmate pass the watch to him? What relations does the killer have with the inmate/staff of the jail?

Welp maybe the killer got the watch personally from Chi Kook.

But why would a such a 'prideful' serial killer place Chi Kook's watch on the victim? All the other possessions on the victim was from other people who he personally murdered and watched them breathe their last breath. Chi Kook isn't even dead yet, and he may not have personally caused Chi Kook to end up like that. Why would his watch be there alongside other objects? It isn't really a trophy...


Maybe the inmate wasn't the person who did it and was just a scapegoat.

I feel like Chi Kook's body was placed by someone who understands how the box works.

I'm not sure how the magic trick works but I'm assuming that there are 2 compartments, one shown one hidden, that is supposed to swap places as the box is spun.

If you don't know what the box is designed to do, you would've probably chucked the body into the box and left it as that. If that were the case, the body would've been seen the moment he opened the box.

However, it was first opened, it was empty~~

Note that when the box was brought up to stage, it was not locked. The body was kept in the hidden compartment.

It's as if the person intentionally kept the body hidden so it wouldn't be accidentally found before the performance......

Side note, there was a person who was beside the prison's doctor when he received the call. Was that Sung Yo Han?

Do I think it's him? Eh... they're hinting at it so much it makes me feel like he isn't. Honestly saying he doesn't feel like the one.

Do I think it's JBR? Well, my heart's saying no...

Observations and mini inferences aside I'll just sit on the fence and watch ya'll make your assumptions. :)

(Btw why was there a finger in the corner behind the stage, did the culprit just accidentally drop a finger pfft--)

I swear, one day that button the grandmother sewed on JBR's sleeve is gonna turn up at a crime scene somewhere.

Uwah the interacts b/w Han Seo Jun and JBR feels jittery~~ I feel like JBR is afraid to meet his HSJ's eyes, as if HSJ can see through him. (In the scene where he was hugging Chi-Gook, he shut his eyes and cried, then he stopped for a second and met eyes with HSJ, and then proceeded to look away and shut his eyes again)

Am I thinking too much hahahaha

I watch it on dramacool

My mind is in a whirlwinddd. There's so many possibilities!!!

Honestly, I think Jae Hoon = The head hunter's son.

Ignoring the child's behaviour, I think that the mom who had her husband died due to an accident wouldn't remarry. Why? She said, "I love him more than my own life." And even kept a psychopath child knowing full well she could abort him.

Would a person like that really remarry and raise 2 other children? After making all those tough statements of "raising the child right" and "proving them wrong", she proceeds to let the father abuse the child AND choke him. I'm inclined to believe she wouldn't do that

On the other hand, the headhunter's wife is filled with hatred for the child and her ex husband, which leads me to believe she would try to escape from her past by tossing herself to another guy, and maybe have a normal child. Plus calling him "monster", "murderer", "psychopath" was something she was doing and thinking before she even gave birth to him.
The hh's wife is more greatly filled with hatred towards the child she bears.

>So who is JBR?

If JBR is Jae Hoon, maybe after 'killing' the stepfather and potentially the two siblings, he had no family left. After seeing him kill the stepfather there would be no doubt that the mother would NOT want him anywhere near her or her children. She probably already wanted him out of the household from the start.

He's now a murderer(that was probably not caught) and an abandoned child. (Or one that killed his entire "family")

Maybe, to assimilate into the society, he decided to be smart adopt his lil brother's personality, since he probably only knew him as a reference. Either that or after an accident, he lost his memory and the fact that he is a "psychopath".
Maybe he got adopted by a loving family, who gave him the name "Jung Bareum" so he could live as an upright guy without being trapped by his past.

If this was the case, then yellow raincoat kid may have grown into a serial killer after the mother we met in the hospital failed.

Also side note we've never seen adult JBR with his parents or obtained any information about them.

But if the JH isn't JBR, then only other person I know would be the lil boy in yellow raincoat. The yellow raincoat kid is eccentric, yes, but he didn't gut any animal. In fact he even fed a mouse. Albeit he did feed a mouse to the snake, but that's all he did. (Why is this an "all he did" moment.) Maybe he really grew up to be righteous JBR.

Side noteee realise that after the scene of the yellow raincoat boy, the screen shows "5 years later" and cuts to Jae Hoon's school life. Is it implying anything? Idk. :)

And the scene with the serial killer with a room full of disturbing photoes pinned up and then camera pans down to a framed photo of kid wearing yellow.

Is the person in the photo same as the person who pinned the photo? Is the person the serial killer? What is he trying to do? Yeahhh I don't really wanna think anymore.

Theories are fun and all but I'm really curious to know what happens!!!!!!

Yeah I'm really late to the 1st episode party--

Ehh I thought it was a really cute tsundere smile lol. Maybe cuz she really doesn't smile much, it feels weird when she actually smiles.
But hey, "we never know what a person's heart is truly like". Heheh.

One day left! Very coincidentally, it's airing on the day of my final weighted assessment test~ I'll be watching it as a mini celebration hahahaha

(Added on from the previous post about the collection of ded bodies)

-A police officer (Chi-Gook)
~Apparently this culprit "hates god, and drags bodies to places where the cross can he seen and threatens people with his finger", but it was different in this case. Was likely stabbed by a knife.

-4 females(May be overlapping, in no particular order)
~First one found in the grape farm, wore a ring on her finger.
~2nd in an unknown place. Lying on concrete ground? Looks like she has been frozen. Wearing a black coat
~3rd location unknown, blood is near the victim's mouth. Can see the perpetrator's hand in the frame.
~4th is in an open area, on soil/mud. Can only see the hand and a ring but going by the hand and nails I'm assuming it's female

-3 males
~1st, location unknown. Body was really bloody. Wounds on shoulder, head and collarbone area.
~2nd seems to be in a boxing ring. Was doused in gasoline and burnt.
~3rd was found in the box used in the magic show JBR was performing in. Well at least i think it's a corpse and not a living man.

-A child(?) (In the 13 min interview with the cast the actor LHJ mentioned something about going up the mountain to find the body of a child.)

2 bodies of unknown gender
~1st one is seen being dragged in the rain, victim was wearing rubber boots.
~2nd ~as thrown into a large water body. I'm not very sure whether the thing thrown was body or the perpetrator's murder items because it's looked buoyant. But I think saw shoes.

Crime scene, but no body seen
~ Blood splattered everywhere in the ferris wheel basket.


Side stuff:
A pile of bloodied rice near a drain.
And a book with blood splattered on it.
A bloody hand print on some kinda mirror.
A bloody shoe was found, likely near water body.

I think there's more than one killer here...

Yeaaaa!!

Whatever he built in the previous years slowly start to crumble. The "moral compass" he created (helping everyone) breaks.
In the end, he becomes fixated on one, and only one thing--

Catching the serial killer.

That "Mouse"; he will catch it, no matter what it takes.

(My internal overdramatic monologue)

Maybe I've watched too many shows with dense protagonists, that part felt like a common sight hahahahaha.

But the scene where he cried when KMC grabbed his cheeks... my heart-- *hiss*

That sounds very unlikely but if they somehow manage to do that with the plot making sense and everything clicking into place it'll be such a big plot twist. I'll ketow to the writer.

Right!?? Such a strong kid. (Unless he's tricking us or something)
