Props to the writers who used this platform to draw attention to the various issues that plague society in this day and age. From bullying, to scams, to corrupt officials, lack of humanity and lack of justice, they really made the viewers think. The world is a scary place and Taxi Driver didn't hide any of its ugliness. I really respected the messages at the end of each episode too.
Yeah. If he really wanted to bring doom he could have just let her experience pain until she gives up and asks for the world to be destroyed but nooooo..... The contract is honestly so stupid. LMAO.
I'm asking out of curiosity... What were the plot holes? I thought they answered everything by the end.
Ah! That didn't hit me as strange, actually.
Generally, to get the DNA of a body that's buried, there should be a court order or a written consent of the family to exhume the body if the body's identity has been confirmed. From what I gathered from the show they discovered the grave and the hair tie, ran DNA tests on the hair tie (which Hyun Soo was seen wearing before she was kidnapped) to check if the body that was buried was Hyun Soo. Since the DNA test result came back positive, and since the body was buried (not abandoned), they would have required the parents of Hyun Soo to request the body to be exhumed to have the DNA tested again.
In later episodes, Hyun Soo's father said he gave permission to exhume the body, this hints at the fact that he didn't provide permission before, which means that at the time, he believed that the body that was buried was Hyun Soo's because of the hair tie DNA result. Had he been in denial about the death of his daughter they could have exhumed the body, but he was convinced that both his son and daughter were killed by Han Seo Jun.
Add to that, the father didn't change the location of her grave (which he believed the killer created), which also hints at the fact that he is a believer that once a body is laid to rest it should not be disturbed. Had he changed her grave location, I would have immediately wondered why he didn't check her DNA when they exhumed the body. But he didn't dig her up at all. Most people believe that once their loved ones are laid to rest, nothing should disturb their bodies. So the sequence makes sense to me, I guess.
Ye Seul is so frustrating one. She was nearly abused by him and she just want to prove her innocence and don't…
It's not love. It's the mentality of abuse victims. They are groomed to think that they are worthless and their sense of self is destroyed as a result. She doesn't love herself, which happened because her boyfriend constantly degraded her and now she has internalised that hatred.
These points were all discussed in Episode 1, which is why they didn't pass the law. However, the law was ultimately…
I agree. It was completely rushed at the end. They dealt with the end by showing the facts of what happened rather than how it came to be. We know that once this issue goes into debates, you will have the political parties taking a stand. Pro-lifers would be all over telling people this is murder. Pro-choicers will be petitioning against the vote because it takes away a woman's choice. If they got into all of that... And then you have the president spearheading this campaign for his son. They'll need another five episodes to handle how the vote came to be.
The overall theme is too complex for a 20 episode psyco murderer show which was created for entertainment purposes. But, a few points were made:
1. The psychopath gene is not 100% accurate. Some might have the psychopath gene, but others might have the genius gene and there is no way to differentiate it.
2. Nurture plays a LARGE part on whether or not a person born with the psychopath gene will be a murderer.
3. Is it the society's burden to watch such children born with the psychopath gene and ensure that they are never triggered and therefore. never commit murder? Is that even possible?
The vote proves that the voting majority doesn't want that burden. And that's understandable.
The ending was completely completely rushed to fit the two hour run time, but I get the points that were made. From the scenes depicted, I'm guessing that the president made sure the vote passed, which is why they didn't bother showing how the vote happened or the debates. But that's just my view.
I really hate the fact that the law got passed on, I'm not gonna go controversial here but let's focus on the…
These points were all discussed in Episode 1, which is why they didn't pass the law. However, the law was ultimately passed due to a public vote. I thought it was brilliant that they showed how the public would have actually voted had this happened in real life. The majority would go with a knee jerk reaction towards any tragedy because the goal would be to avoid such a horrible thing from happening ever again (eg:- stricter laws regarding rape if a high profile rape case grips the nation just like in India).
The decision wasn't made by being level headed. It was made by emotion. The emotion of a nation. And that is exactly how new laws are made in majority of the countries too. Equal rights, harsher punishments... These laws are created only if a tragedy moves a nation. And that's what Mouse showed us. Choi Young Shin got what she wanted in the end.
It got interesting when the brother found out about Doom, but the writers took that away. Sigh.
This show is nothing short of brilliant!
