Gaon can't be the twin because of the age gap between Yo Han and him. Burn scar? Isn't it a tatoo?

He seems like a dark hero at all, so I don't mind if he doesn't end up as a (ordinary) good guy. That would be more fitting to his mindset and character.

I hope, you will enjoy it!

It is not a huge problem, if you know that. Maybe it can make easier to understand the real plot and the only twist. ;) And the main mystery is not who is LSGs character. ☺So I can recommend to watch the series.

Maybe He has some kind of personality disorder based on the nanny's story and some of his behavior. Perhaps He is a high-functioning sociopath. At this moment, We don't know well enough the character and his whole background, just a few part of them.

Right now, we don't know, what is true or not. It is too early to know everything exactly. However, not just his sentence, but his smirk was sus too. So I don't think it was the whole truth.

As I mentioned before, we are in ep 4 and there are another 12 episodes to find out everything what happened. I just said, we don't know every single detail about the past. Not that he killed his half-brother.

That was my question too when I saw that. I think We don't know the whole background story just that part which makes the viewers lower their guards towards him. We are in ep 4, se I think it is too early to reveal everything what happened for real.

Maybe that's the case but it is just ep 4. We have another 12 eps. I don't think they revealed everything this early, because this is also a mystery show not just a crime and law one. But who knows right now.

Yo Han's last words in ep 4 make me so suspicious towards his actions. It's kinda obvious that not everything happened the way the show presented for us right now.

Thank you for your article! It was good to hear that I am not the only who think like this about some representation of mental and other issues. I agree with you almost everything. Also I have another issue with k-dramas, and that is the depiction of the suicide and the real state of the mental healthcare in Korea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_health_in_South_Korea, https://www.koreabiomed.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=3043
I have never seen a drama, where these problems were properly shown.

I see. Sadly, the drama has some triggering aspects which makes it hard to watch. Maybe that was the reason why they presented the series like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_health_in_South_Korea, https://www.koreabiomed.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=3043

I absolutely agree with you. The plot was good until the hospital scenes (ep 6-7). After that part It became a much common late 2000's telenovella. Baek Hee Sung' s character was so disappointing because I saw this type of character in three another series (Born Again, IC, IOTNBO) at the same year before that was on-going and one of them with almost the same twist and fate in Born Again except the reincarnation story line.

The public accepted it because of the propaganda what the media transmitted about the serial killers cases for years (for example: public triggering in ep 5. with the broadcast). As viewers we saw what really happened in the shadows, but in the drama, the public saw another side of the story. The censored version. I admit it was too fast in the end when the public accepted the bill because it wasn't mention, what happened in the end of the last broadcast, just the arrests. And the politicians allowed it because they almost accepted before but they couldn't 'cause of the prime minister's voting. But his son was killed by a fanatic cult member (we also don't know how that was presented in the series for him from OZ and the government, it was just barely touched in the last special in one of the deleted scenes) so he became angry enough to vote 'yes'. That was the whole point of that storyline along with the what if... The ending was too fast at some points.
Most mystery dramas don't reveal their 'main' killers in episode 2 (probably that was too obvious from the beginning with the two characters behaviors and some camera angles, and ep 6 was just a checkpoint). I think It wasn't outsmarting. at all. Maybe the Oz part, but it was revealed in ep 1 (not the org but their plan and there were hints in other eps about some sort of 'help' from somewhere from higher ups for the killer and for another cases). Even the baby switch was revealed too early in ep 1. For me, one of the main problem is the overcrowded episodes besides the promotion failures. They are full of little details and in lots of times, it is very easy to miss them and that can ruin the narrative.

Did you watch the whole drama? Because everything was clarified throughout Mouse. If you didn't you missed the point when it was stated, not every psycho is a killer and not every killer is a psycho, and so on.
In this series, they have to state everything about mental health and the mind set of the show early because it is a healing drama, as the creators said. It is the base of the drama. The Mouse is a thriller which was about what will happen if a psychopath gains feelings as the writer said before the show started. So they didn't need to show early on the real status of the mental conditions ect., because that was the twist of the show. What and why happened as it happened and what it means for specific people.
So the two dramas are very different which indicates the different story telling of this part of the shows. I think this drama is more similar to IOTNBO combined with IOTL with much more crime lines.

It was proven later on the drama, maybe he inherited that... gene but from the beginning, he had no intention to kill people. He also knew that he was different from ordinary humans so he decided to pretend to be a good boy and copied another test subject's behavior who was the most beloved child at that time in the school, so he could become a 'normal' person with friends and everything. But O.Z. showed up much more directly than before, and pushed him to be a killer with different techniques (triggering, drugs) because the other test subjects failed to kill people (one of them was a genius ,the other one was psycho who was violent towards people but didn't kill THAT time), so the main thesis of the organisation would have turned out to be bs, which means no aid to the psycho-bill. It was the moment when the cult allowed the access to the data of the man who killed the sk's family. That was the turning point for him, and because of the inherited predator gene and the triggering, he became a serial killer, and the cult/organization helped him from the shadows to practice his murderous acts. With these decisions they could promote their bill. It was all about media attention and marketing which makes serial killer's story even more tragic (but not acceptable and forgivable). Also there were suicide attempts and (after some events) depression too, not just the typical film industry representation of the psychos and much more.

I agree with you in the psycho-gen and nobel prize part, which were interesting choices (sarcastic), but it is just a drama. If you want to watch a more scientifically accurate show, that's not yours.

Everything will be answered later on.

8.7 for this one? I think it is low for this drama, but that's just my opinion.

Is it me or this drama is like an anime called Bleach? A Bleach live action adaptation, but much better than the original la. Interesting and the action scenes are chef's kiss.

Killer instinct doesn't but warrior gene can which makes the person more aggressive and dangerous and it is a real thing in genetics. The term which you used (SOME) makes me worried. What type of push would be enough?
