same, I don't think he is the main dude - they all wear the same ring with that logo, so I guess the man/woman whoever is on top of the hierarchy of this crime ring/cult is someone we've not seen. But he seems someone very important in that crime ring
Loving the transformations, storyline stuff.Not loving the fight scenes, too choppy as in like wtf is going on,…
I agree, I'm totally loving how the plot is progressing each ep - the cases have been really interesting and realistic so far but the action scenes just don't have the same feel as S1. imo that might be because of the change of director. They brought in the old writer but a new director - so the style is also different imo. I hope it gets better. some scenes also felt abrupt and too outrageously unrealistic to me, but I'm trying to overlook them as I do love this show, heck I'm actually looking forward to S3, as the cast keeps mentioning it. It would've been great if the original director also returned for this season but oh well
I guess they're not really hiding that there's more to On Ha Joon. Even his smile in that opening sequence is…
yes, I think they are not being subtle about it because he may not be the ACTUAL baddie, and might join the team later on and help them out?! I really hope that he is like the red herring, and they just want the audience to be mislead? I hope he's like a cop or something. Because if he is the villain it will be a bit disappointing, since there are so many hints.
My theory: there is going to be a bigger case that connects all of this , they've hinted at that already since Ep 1- and the criminals in the cases are all somehow related to the main event/crime + they might also be related to the game developers in Ep 1 & 2. I noticed the ring on the hand of the shadowy figure at the end of ep 4 who was taking pictures of the team - it could be a crime syndicate sign. They could all be in a cult or something (as hinted in one interview I saw of the cast), and it would be mega cool imo if it turns out that Oh Ha joon is someone who is following that cult/crime syndicate and knows he can use this team to advance his investigation or just that they team up in the end? I think that would be so cool
Male lead going AWOL for all day and night without anyone checking on him in his cell, I know they don't care…
I agree with your comment, it was hilarious how they avoided explaining stuff by just showing Goeun hacking lol. the funniest part was her hacking into the official police database, her computer screen had a box that said "Hacking Mode ON", I don't know how these things are done or what they look like, but I would assume being discreet would be the top priority?! Also, when Doki was fighting in the cells/dungeon, there was a scene where he sent one guy literally flying across idk how but with the force of his one arm (Hulk? is that you? ). they also cut short his escape through the staircase when he was going up while a flood of bad guys were coming onto him from the opposite side, which honestly looked rushed and messy.
One may try to ignore these details, but that scene of her somehow getting the doors to open in Vietnam from Korea, in what seemed like a closed down amusement park was unmissable and so weird?! Also, I think they overused that theme song in these two episodes, to the point that it lost it's impact imo.
Nevertheless, I'm planning to watch it till the end, because I'm loving the stories, dialogue and acting overall and I love the Rainbow Taxi family so much, they are adorable!!
Forgot to mention the doggy scene, it was just too cute seeing that fluffy dog running around. Is the puppy supposed…
I agree, I think Ep 8 hinted many times that she isn't his daughter. I have a feeling there's some backstory to Bora's actual biological dad, like in Ep 8, in the cafe scene the way her mother lowkey behaved when she tried to tell Bora that Wook isn't her dad and Wook too changed the topic, as if they know who he is and maybe he was a problematic dude...or maybe I'm just overthinking
Ratings have more than doubled this season, so might be that there will be a season 3
Also, with all the theories about il Young being alive (that he is actually in a coma etc) floating around, I do want him to come back to life somehow at the end and join the team, that will be so fun. They have already got a new high tech room (all credits to Jong Ah) behind the cafe, so I'm assuming it's not just for this one season! And there's so much to explore wrt to the villages and the ability to see the dead
I'm enjoying every episode. Do you think Duon Village still exists with new people (ghosts)?
I think Duon Village still exists with new people, and as this season suggests there could be more villages for missing people, it's just that Wook and Mr. Pan Seok can't see them.
Also, I'm confused about something since the start of ep 2, so there it says "one year ago" when Thomas and il Yong are having a conversation. But it's been two years since Wook stopped seeing Duon Village, and that's when Thomas's spirit has also disappeared, so how is Thomas still in the Duon village?
Exactly. Two worlds are only connected when the train is scrapped in the other world.There is also a fix time…
I recently finished watching the show... I still have so many questions about how the timeline works...how did the Chief jump so many different worlds/timelines, if the boundary between world's is in the number order you suggested? Because she did come back to World #2 after say she had travelled at least three or four more times?! She killed the World #2 version of herself in 2012 and took her place, so does that mean she lived out the entirety of the other lifespans in other timelines where her son killed himself each time and like witnessed it each time...so if she is from either of those timelines, then she travelled backward instead of the way your reply suggests... I do agree that your explanation is reasonable because it explains how Seok Young came to World #3 from World #2, but what about the Chief?
I've also thought of this, like of all the possible parallel worlds only in World #2 and World #1 (they are both supposed to die together via gas poisoning) the Chief hides the truth, and that is set (like in Avengers Endgame when Doctor Strange talks about the 1 time they can kill Thanos lol). And because revealing the truth in other worlds did stop her son from killing people but he kills himself in confinement each time, so she travels from those other worlds to #2 where she hid the truth and her son was living without attempting to kill himself (because he was out committing the murders, he was free) - she was ofc wrong
Also, the smiling Hwal they showed in the flashback, that wasn't an evil smile, it was more like "babe I saved…
I just wanted to mention, that I don't support the extreme violence that BulgaHwal unleased on the villagers - it's right he got punished and must atone for it. But there was no way he could've saved Bulgalady without the bloodshed, as the king would not have it any other way, they were going to BEHEAD her. And altho she wouldn't die, he couldn't possible see her go thru that...so what he did isn't for his self interest, this makes him different from Eul Tae, who is just selfish. What I feel upset about is how, SU didn't get the memories back to understand why he did what he did 1000 years ago, before forgiving him. I don't get BulgaSU tbh was she waiting to be torn apart an dthrown away, then be reassembled as she is cannot be killed, and quietly walk away, but the villagers would kill the kids anyway, how will she save them in a peaceful way lol
Those who have a complaint with DanHwal's hairstyle. This hairstyle suits Lee Jin Wook the best in my opinion.…
I think the hairstyle DanHwal had was perfectly suited for his character, it made him look like a modern day warrior, Bulgasal in exile, also it added to the old world charm vibe he wasn't from this era and traditional warriors don't cut their hair...some people found it funny, but imo he looked hot, hotter as the episodes went by lol BUT the last hairstyle, in the end of ep 16, when he was reborn...it was revolting IMO, they ruined the glory of his hair lol but Lee Jin Wook still managed to look good!
in the end this whole cycle of revenge and reincarnation began with her one selfish yet miserable wish to grow…
also, when Ok Eul Tae killed his brother - I'm assuming it was the first time he did something so drastic and cruel for power, after that he never looked back, and did not stop for his pursuit of immortality and power. So, that is also one of the major event in this chain of events that started this cycle
If siho had died i woulda given this show a hard 10. Sadly wasnt the case...sorry not sorry 🤐
I'm happy she survived, and wanted her to survive 1000 years ago too, and I get that she kept BulgaSU close for her family's safety but I could not believe that she and Do Hyun did not open their mouths to give info on the actual murderer whom they had seen, when they were going to BEHEAD bulgalady, so to me she was a selfish person 1000 years ago. Both ladies were, they were only thinking of their own self interest.
I was thinking the same, like he's made the bad guy and has to go thru all the pain of being left and betrayed…
Honestly hated her for ditching him, but I feel like she was going to return to him after that day, the kids had grown up, and she heard that conversation with the shaman lady about how BulgaSU didn't fit in...only if Eul Tae didn't barge in out of nowhere into the scene
She followed her maternal instincts to care for a couple of orphans. For me the fault lies with Ok Eul-tae whose…
I agree, he came out of nowhere and messed up everyone's lives for his own greed, and he couldn't even get to fully enjoy what he gained after such trials, cuz he got that freaking black hole, so was in eternal agony because of his own stupid plan
I love this show...However, I have to point out a pothole ... so Bulgasal Lady wants to kill Bulgasal Hwal to…
Yes, that is so confusing. There's another confusion, if she saved him as a child maybe she knew he had turned human and reincarnated way back 1000 years ago, so she stabbed him because killing human Hwal might also end the curse or she needed to turn him into a Bulgasal and then kill herself to end them both.
But turning him into a Bulgasal again, would be like aiding him in fulfilling the curse, because she would turn human when she would stab him in his heart by taking his soul, than who would kill him to end the curse.
maybe she didn't know he had taken Eul Tae's soul (which she should've known cuz Eul Tae must have been on a bloody rampage, or maybe she didn't see the blood sucking Bulgasal and assumed it wa Hwal, as Eul Tae must have killed ppl under a disguise) or that he had turned human 1000 years ago, so she tried to kill him thinking he was a Bulgasal, and save kid Hwal, without knowing it was him. But it clearly shows her taking his soul, which meant she wanted to turn him into a Bulgasal, what I don't understand is that whether she wanted to destroy the soul (as that's something they can do) to continue with her plan of killing them both, or to turn human herself (but why?) - that wouldn't have ended the curse.
I really hope that he is like the red herring, and they just want the audience to be mislead? I hope he's like a cop or something. Because if he is the villain it will be a bit disappointing, since there are so many hints.

But the moment was ruined by BulgaSU and the so called family
I think you are right about the mind-reading. That maybe it
Also, I'm legit embarrassed for writing such a long comment, so thank you for reading it haha
