The one with the glasses isn't No. 7, Mr. Ah is No,. 7, the one with the limp. He is also the one who went to…
Right! I hadn't watched the last part in my excitement. But maybe Mr. Ah was just the hand? The one to do the dirty work for... someone else. That someone else must have pulled some strings to get them both on the jury so it would seem like they were the victims, seeing how they're the targets according to the rest of the police.
They also have an interaction after the trial is done, and in hindsight it seems like Mr. Ah sort of needed Jung In Sung's "permission" to come with them for dinner.
And yes, she has to have a vision to truly know someone's character. She also mentions that she doesn't reveal stuff about her clientele so that might be a possibility as well.
Note that I've only watched till ep 6, so I might be wrong.
edit: I have found some loopholes after watching further (ep 7), so be sure to read the replies :D
So Mr. Choi got hit on the head by the murderer, right? And Mr. Choi said in the recording that RSJ found that "Number 24" wouldn't have died if he hadn't been such a "tattle-tale". In ep 5, there's the boy who tells on the rest of the kids and reveals the escape plan to Mr. Baek/Crazy Dog in return for his release. I have a feeling they're the same person.
Idk if i'm barking up the wrong tree, but the cast has been chosen very carefully and I think Jung In Sung (the glasses jury guy) looks wayy too similar. Plus, when the rest of the jurors asked him about his occupation, he mentions that he works in customer service. This happens in ep 2. But when the police came for questioning in ep 3, we discover that he lied about his job and that he's actually an engineer—bc the policeman notices his id-card that says "Engineer". Why would he do that? Unless he has something to hide...
He also gives his coat to Ms. Yum Hye Jin (freelance spirit lady) wayy too often, and the gesture seems a bit too overboard when you've just met someone. The camera also zooms in on his (weird) expression when Ms. YJH says that he has a "clean soul", which I think is a bit of an indicator. I think it's being portrayed that he goes out of his way to be nice, maybe to "make up" for the activities he may have committed in the past—AKA telling on the other kids.
Also at the end of ep 6, we see that the culprit was in the courtroom on the day of the trial. So was Jung In Sung.. but I feel like I'm grasping at straws lol 😅
I mean... there's a motive, he probably has the means bc he isn't being suspected AT ALL.
My thoughts are pretty jumbled, so excuse the poor wording. Ofc this is all just speculation OR maybe I fell for the red-herrings, but I feel like it all fits way too perfectly.
I nearly broke down at the end of ep 5... the fact that Sun Joon's brother came was so relieving. But it still made me kind of sad bc Sung Hoon orchestrated the whole thing only to confirm that SJ was not the murderer. I mean, there has to be a certain level of trust, right? Anway, onward to ep 6!
Edit: Ahh... so I was right. Unfortunately. But there is hope for character development.
Seeing the harsh comments right from the first episode of an obviously well-produced series, I'm reminded of a tweet I came across recently. I quote:
"Reading (or watching, in this case) must be a bizarre and terrifying experience if you hate irony, confuse narrators with authors, and think all the characters' actions are condoned/promoted by the author. It's sad because reading (watching) fiction is the best adventure in the world, and the least damaging." —@SPMiskowski on twitter
This series is the ULTIMATE test of morals 😭 I don't know how I should feel/opinionate myself toward each character... Also the title is pretty accurate- the show somehow quite literally manages to link eating, falling in love and murdering really well.
!!!!! HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD !!!!!Well, I agree the ending felt rushed, another extra episode would have done it…
Your pov here is very interesting. Helped me gain a new insight! Personally, I think it is too well-made a drama to be tarnished by the ending as the journey was so exciting, though it did change my rating from a 10 to 9.5.
What happened to the ending? 😭 I had rated it a 10 but the last episode ruined the whole show for me. The buildup throughout the series was so well done... but it fizzled out like a match in the dark. But it was a fun ride, nonetheless.
Thank you for this! I usually don't read the articles at all, but I clicked immediately when I saw Gun. He is one of my favorite actors. You've captured all my thoughts accurately in your facts 😭💖
I've watched a lot of dramas and movies of many genres, but this will have a special place in my heart not only because this is a really well-written and directed bl, but because it touched me to the core as a simple story of finding oneself. I happen to relate a lot to Ye Guang a bit too much and I've even been in some of the exact same situations as him with my parents, and the emotions were so accurately portrayed that I cried.
The music is also amazing! It went in my spotify immediately.
