I have a lot to say, the drama is just crazy and sooooo good ( 1. About who I think is the killer. 2. About Lee…
I already deduced the first two points myself and completely share your opinion on them. I agree that the killer is the assistant and that Lee Shins daughter is her reason to reset. I personally found out because it had to be someone who was near one of the resetters and someone who saw artistic value in killing them (memento collection). Then I saw the black bag on the wall of the killer and I knew it was the assistant. The daughter of Lee Shin being the reason for the reset isn't really kept a secret by the show.
Your third point was the most interesting to me since I hadn't considered Lee Shin going that far. It would be a brilliant move by her since the detective wouldn't have a reason to reset otherwise. I hope this is actually the case since that would really show how much she planned this whole group-reset.
I just want to thank everyone for the (responsibly hidden) spoilers, as I just could not watch this drama as it…
My condolences to you. I think you made the right choice not to watch it since it does cover the loss-aspect in a lot of different ways. I hope you find a drama better suited to your current state of mind!
Now that I've had time to emotionally process everything I gotta share my feelings about it somewhere. The ending felt so bittersweet because as a viewer I don't want Yuri to be gone. Sure Yuri has her faults with not letting people who loved her know she was resurrected but she ended up the one who sacrificed everything again for the sake of others.
Yuri is a character who only wanted others to be happy and it just feels unfair at the end of it all. I hope she's reincarnated as a person who receives lots of happiness instead of only giving it but we'll never know I guess. I had hoped they would show her next life. But yeah great that MJ and GH are happy but it's not complete for me until I know Yuri has happiness too.
Also, I still don't get the hate for the shaman-job (they seem pretty cool to me) but okay. I guess it was important for the daughter to have a normal life. Getting SW as a young shaman would've made for a cool sequel though.
Well then.. RIP Yuri. They did make it clear that it was coming though. Happy ending for MJ and GH. Though I really didn't understand the big problem about her daughter seeing ghosts. Like yea the ghosts can be dangerous but she'd soon mature enough to know the difference and to learn how to cope. Yuri survived easily in those 49 days while seeing ghosts (yea she was chased once but that was it). Also, it'd guarantee a job in our unstable economy since the daughter can just do apprenticeship with the shaman-woman.
I love Hong Jo, Sol Ah and Jae sun but honestly the writing sucks; one more time they used the same " love triangle…
I won't deny that a bromance would've been nice but pets usually bond to a specific human (their owner) so it would be out of character for Hong Jo to deeply care about Jae Sun. Cats are very specific in their likes so I'm not suprised Hong Jo just chose whoever made the most impact on him emotionally (Sol Ah).
I think Jae Sun just doesn't want his ex-lover to end up romantically involved with their own cat. Realistically he has good reason to try and prevent it besides just jealousy. I was never really bothered by the actions of Jae Sun as he doesn't involve himself besides his demands that Hong Jo tell the truth (because a cat-human relationship is pretty weird).
Jae Sun already respects that Sol Ah has Hong Jo in her heart. He's there for backup when Hong Jo leaves, he knows he can't defeat Hong Jo as long as he's there. He wants Sol Ah to make an informed choice though so that's why he demands the truth. I'm also sure he wouldn't want Hong Jo on the streets. Hong Jo would probably just have to be in cat-form a lot more to hide from Sol Ah.
I'm happy the poster-arc got resolved today. I think this was a difficult time for the 365 community but we made it through. Finally we have an aesthetically pleasing poster again.
If that is the case then why Yuri should come back alive in first place?There should be something meaning ful…
They'll probably give Yuri what she wants regardless of what happens next. Either Yuri gets her daughter saved and dies (which she doesn't mind) or Yuri gets to live and her daughter saved. I don't see the writers turning it into a tragedy now. Yuri goes or doesn't go but I'm 100% sure she will get a happy end. Either in death (which was her original destiny anyway) or with another chance at life.
The obvious lack of effort in the props bothered me to no end. Omfg the hair and the beard looked so fake I was…
I've never seen realistic wigs for farang (non-thai people) in any lakorn (thai drama). They always choose cheap wigs with unrealistic colours so I can't take them seriously.
Sometimes you find dramas with a synopsis that immediately sounds like a situation I would not want to watch. This guy pretends to have amnesia to manipulate his wife into caring for him? Sounds like a relationship built on lies to me but ok I guess some people don't mind that sort of drama. Sure I like watching relationships built by misunderstandings but this is just genuine lying.
If that is the case then why Yuri should come back alive in first place?There should be something meaning ful…
Yea and what HAS she accomplished? Spoiler: Still nothing and 2 episodes left. The dumbest part of all this is that she should've IMMEDIATELY went to her own family and best friend since they were still not over her. Imagine coming back from the dead and just deciding not to contact people that still miss you. It was obviously to stretch the emotional content over more episodes but they could've been more creative. Her husband had been repressing his memories of her so I can understand why she would hesitate to visit him.
I don't know how she thought hanging around her daughter even more would help her to unsee ghosts but ok. Right now the situation is that she has accomplished nothing of importance. Yea she helped people/ghosts with some minor stuff but she mostly caused drama instead of solving issues.
I didn't think that I would find out I was attracted to guys who behave like cats but here we are. Myung Soo is just too cute with his adorable stare. This is such a comfy series to watch. I really don't understand why people are dropping this series since the story doesn't even matter that much here. Just enjoy the cute cats and the cute cat-behaviour of Hong Jo. I recommend watching this if you want to escape reality into a fluffy realm of cats. I love the concept of were-cats/cat shifting and hope to see it again.
The saved reset-participants were selected for currently unknown reasons but they are basically all experiments…
At the moment 2 male characters are still suspects considering the identity of the serial-killer. Detective is obviously not it. I wrote a detailed analysis of all the suspects in another recent comment. I'd suggest reading that too. It's either Sun Ho (partner of detective) or the Webcomic assistant of Ga Hyun.
The story is lowkey hinting at Sun Ho through specific scenes of him spying on the detective but this is just him being worried in my opinion. I think the writers want us to suspect Sun Ho so it's easier to hide the real culprit. He doesn't have a motive at this point and while it would be ironic if it was him it's unlikely.
The only one with a clear motive at this point is the webcomic assistant of Ga Hyun. Some people suspect the detective because of his love of the webcomic ''Hidden Killer'' but forget about the fanboy that cares the most about the webcomic. He could easily stalk Ga Hyun to find out her recent contacts. If he properly spied on her he may even be aware of the resetters. By killing he either shows he wants to act out a real version of the webcomic or he wants to inspire Ga Hyun. The nerdy look is to make him look more innocent and he acts a bit dumb but we really don't know anything about this guy besides his work.
Let's go back to the mysterious serial killer figure himself. A male character who is capable of hiding his tracks. His room is empty besides the glass cases with mementos and the empty picture-frames. There's also a projector creating an unknown image in the room and a lamp. Most importantly though, a black bag is hanging on the wall in the middle of the camera shot. By rewatching episodes I found out which character owns the black bag, it's always with the webcomic assistant. If he is the killer Ga Hyun will likely see some suspicious stuff in the documents he gave her.
If this is true than the true culprit would've been hinted at since episode 4. Anyway, I never would've caught onto it if it wasn't for the writers trying to make the Detective and Sun Ho into suspects this last episode. I'm very protective of those characters and their bond. This still leaves questions and who knows I may be wrong of course but we'll see.
So let me get this right. They all died, in the particular ways that each of them are dying currently. Miss Lee…
The saved reset-participants were selected for currently unknown reasons but they are basically all experiments in avoiding death/fate. After saving them Lee Shin called them all up and did a group reset without warning them that they would likely die in the new timeline. Now what do we basically have in this newest timeline? The dying group-resetters, a serial killer, Lee Shin's daughter and Lee Shin as an onlooker. The group-resetters basically cause drama within their own group but that's it. Lee Shin and the serial killer are the real important ones. Especially since even Lee Shin does not know the serial killers identity. The important questions right now are: -Who is the serial killer of the resetters? I personally think I identified him already. -How is Lee Shin's daughter involved in the reset (likely the original reset-motive)? -Who is the mysterious professor that Lee Shin contacts? -Who is selected to die next? (Coffeeshop owner/Gamer-bro) -Why was the reset-group specifically selected? (Why did Lee Shin choose them?)
I just wanted to warn the potential new viewers - DON'T READ THE COMMENTS. At this point, consider everything…
Definitely! I'm glad I started the series while it was airing so I got to think of possible explanations for weird events/suspicious people with other people without having to worry about spoilers myself. This series is best enjoyed when you just try to figure the mystery out yourself/with people watching at the same time.
I finally found my definitive serial killer suspect after hours of research (rewatching episodes). Purely fueled by intent to protect the bond between Sun Ho and the detective. I'll list all leftover suspects.
Detective: Sure the end-scene was shocking but it was misleading. In my eyes the detective is innocent and most people likely agree with that since he has different shoes and he's not the type of person to kill in order to get what he wants. Sure he is a fanboy of ''Hidden Killer'' but he could've started murdering people in his original timeline instead of wasting all this effort to travel to the past. He just didn't want the police to immediately detain him as a suspect since there was critical reset-information at the dead gangsters house.The fact that Ga Hyun still suspects him is crazy to me but I get that there's paranoia when you likely have less than a year to live.
Gamer-bro: He is just as confused and desperate as the other characters. In the preview for the next episode it even shows him being scared by someone. He is used to having others do violent acts for him like bullying, not used to being violent himself.
Sun Ho (partner of detective): He has the knowledge to pull of this murder-stuff and it would fit with the whole speech from Lee Shin that the detective ''made a mistake'' (by saving him). However, he cares way too much about the detective and has genuine empathy for others. The copying of the reset-investigation was suspicious but he's likely just worried and in the preview he does talk about it with the detective. A criminal would likely either frame the detective for the crimes or silently watch from the sidelines while using the information against him. Sun Ho has no motive to kill people, he gains nothing from it. It is still a possibility though and would be shocking but in my mind he's likely safe.
Webtoon assistant: This guy (Goo Seung Min) hasn't appeared a lot but we know he's just as much a fanboy of the webtoon ''Hidden Killer'' as the detective. He even gives lots of recommendations to Ga Hyun about ''Hidden Killer''. Now for something most people didn't notice. He always brings a giant black bag with him, guess what's hanging in the room of the collected mementos of dead resetters? This guy has a clear motive too. By killing people around Ga Hyun he is ''inspiring'' her to create new content. He is right in front of her, visits her multiple times and yet she doesn't suspect a thing. The nerdy guy look is just something to hide his true intent.
Now that the detective bromance is likely still safe I'll be looking forward to the next episode.
Guys although the murderous detective twist got me shook for a moment I found proof that our detective is in fact NOT the serial killer. The evidence is in the video-footage itself. If you're curious keep on reading. I was so shocked at the end that I began feverishly looking for answers since this could endanger the detective bromance plot. I knew that Hyung Jo wasn't guilty of the older deaths so I specifically focused on this one. Then I started looking closer at the video of the murder.
*Evidence to clear the detective of being a suspect* The body-language of the killer looked like that of our toxic gamer-resetter and it would make more sense for it to be him. I even expected it to be him until they showed the face of the detective.
Now.. If you look closely at the video you'll notice that the killer had a face mask that he only took off after the murder. So the gangster didn't know who killed him at all. The killer is also wearing black shoes (very briefly shown with the blood splatters). Now after the murder we see a scene of a pair of very different shoes stepping back. THIS is the detective sitting down at the computer since he knows the evidence could help prevent his own death in the future.
The detective is obviously used to seeing dead bodies and saw priority in securing the reset-specific evidence for himself instead of immediately calling the police. The detective will be the main suspect if the police investigate so he is hiding his tracks because he doesn't want trouble. How would he even explain his idea to see this criminal to them?
In conclusion, detective is clear of the crime. However, this action might come back to haunt him since Sun Ho is starting to suspect his partner of something (about time too). The preview also shows him as a key suspect so that's unfortunate. I just can't believe Ga Hyun doesn't trust him and it shows why they didn't form a relationship in those 7 months. Update: I've seen theories that suggest Sun Ho is the murderer. I don't want to believe it but it is unfortunately a very real possibility considering that Ga Hyun must've made some legit point with her police-station theory. If this is true I'm gonna have to rewatch every Sun Ho scene. There's still lots of other suspicious people involved though so I'm holding out hope.
Here I thought they couldn't shook me anymore. I was wrong, very very wrong. Episode 8 is just crazy. I'm gonna write my thoughts and theory about it in another comment with spoilers. For those that want answers now, read my second comment.
So when is Hyung Jo going to tell Sun Ho about the whole ''fated to die within a year'' thing? I mean.. Sun Ho probably isn't completely safe either. They might skip it but I hope they show it. It's so easy to prove too, just tell him about some important news that hasn't happened yet. Either one of them is gonna die if things go wrong so might as well just say it. Anyway, I'm scared of Shin now but I know it's all for her unfortunate daughter. She makes such power-moves as a villain. Like imagine just drinking some coffee and she steps in like ''Gruesome death upcoming, have fun thinking about that!''.
And another one bites the dust. I was so curious that I watched the complete RAW episode and now I have to wait for the translation to actually know what exactly happened.
Your third point was the most interesting to me since I hadn't considered Lee Shin going that far. It would be a brilliant move by her since the detective wouldn't have a reason to reset otherwise.

I was never really bothered by the actions of Jae Sun as he doesn't involve himself besides his demands that Hong Jo tell the truth (because a cat-human relationship is pretty weird).
