There are a lot of things to consider, so I'll list them down.
- Seo Kyung realized that something was off. As the Doctor said, if she arrived at their house earlier, she would also be dead.
- Seo Kyung then remembered something … Do Won in "World #2" did give her an umbrella, cyan coloured, not yellow.
- Since she already have an umbrella, she went to the bookstore as she planned.
- This also explained why her father did not pick her up because Seo Kyung told her father that she's fine, someone gave her an umbrella, and told him she'll visit the bookstore.
- Because Do Won #2 still have an umbrella, he was not delayed in finding his father, and eventually saved him from a hit-and-run.
- Do Won #1 (ie World #1) have forgotten that he had an extra umbrella in his bag. Remember, up to that point at the pedestrian crossing, everything was identical. If Don Won #2 have a cyan umbrella, then Do Won #1 also have a cyan umbrella, he just forgot about it (for whatever reason).
- Seo Kyung, having realized that Do Won #2 did give her an umbrella, concluded that she was never meant to die. She also realized that her and Do Won #1 was meant to meet and be together.
- Since Do Won #1 has been missing, she talked to the Chief Detective to confirm something and to get clues. These are: [1] how the portal opens--it appears that there are specific dates when a train will show up no matter what; [2] that there are other worlds besides World #1 and World #2.
Special note: "specific dates when a train will up no matter what" -- There is an infinite number of parallel worlds. Worlds are connected through the ___existence of train 8410___ (if I remember the train number correctly).
-- There is no connection between worlds if train 8410 still exist in both worlds. World #1 and World #2 only got connected when train 8410 was scrapped in World #1. This allowed the train 8410 from World #2 to connect to World #1.
-- When the train 8410 in World #2 was scrapped, it allowed the train 8410 from World #3 to connect to World #2. This is the train Do Won jumped into to leave World #2.
-- Seo Kyung waited for the next arrival of the train in World #2 and arrived at World #3 where they finally met again.
Q: Why did the son of the Chief Police kept on committing suicide? A: Nothing to do with fate, luck, destiny. Her choices, her methods, and the choices of her son, are what led her son to always commit suicide. The whole point was, the Chief was never a good mother.
Her son doesn't want to do bad, evil things. He was doing it to get his mother's attention and to care for him. But the Chief is getting his signals wrong. Instead of responding positively, she pulls away from him, further isolating him.
Noticed how her son said, "if you are my mother, you will stop me". In the end, he understood that the best way to make his mother suffer is for him to die.
The other thing his mother was wrong was she took over the life of the native Chief. As was clearly proven in both Seo Kyung and Do Won, your doppelgangers will make different choices and decisions. But since this alien-Chief kept on taking over other Worlds, things kept on repeating for her son because her way of thinking was exactly the same.
The true World #2 Chief would have done things differently 12 years ago.
In other words, this alien-Chief's assumption about fate is completely, entirely, utterly, false.
You are who you are because of the choices and decisions you make.
Q: Can Seo Kyung still die? A: Of course. But again, it depends on her choices and decisions. For example, Seo Kyung #1 died because [1] her line of work; and [2] her foolish decision to check the bag--she wouldn't have gotten herself shot if she waited for the train to leave. I mean, come on, it is not obvious the suspect is there?
Seo Kyung #2 can also die because again, [1] her line of work; and [2] she's a target because of the ledger.
Again, it proves that there is no fate controlling mankind.
Q: But things happened the same way for the other characters A: That's true but it doesn't mean the threads of fate is to blame. Again, choices and decisions. Or, to put it another way, cause and effect.
Coincidence perhaps? Not really. Think of it this way. If those dead bodies were not moved to World #1, then the events we witnessed in World #1 will instead happen in World #2 like how they started to connect things.
The problem was, the bodies were thrown in World #1 which stalled the investigations in World #2. Meanwhile, in World #1, what would have been a dead investigation was suddenly re-opened. Now we have information about the murder separated into two worlds.
And this is the other proof there is no fate: - If those bodies were never thrown in World #1, the old murder case would not have been re-opened. - Seo Kyung #1 would not be killed at all.
The one who killed Seo Kyung #1 was the alien-Chief. Do Won had nothing to do with it. The one who started the chain of events was her.
In other words, if "fate" is real, Seo Kyung #1, and all other Seo Kyung's, was never meant to die. Because the alien-Chief killed Seo Kyung #1, it ended up with Do Won #1 going to World #2. If she did not shot her, the only weird thing will be Do Won #2 showing up in World #1.
Is polio really a thing in South Korea? I thought it was eradicated in most of the world. Also I'm losing interest.…
In South Korea, the last reported "wild polio infection" (meaning the virus is locally acquired) was in 1983, there were 5. [1] The character probably got polio through a re-infection (vaccine-derived strains), re-emergence (undetected 'wild' virus; or because of vaccine-derived strains [i.e. re-infection]), or the virus was imported (i.e. re-entered the country through global travel).
In the Philippines, after 19 years of being polio-free, there was a re-emergence of Polio back in September 2019. [2] [3] (If I'm not mistaken, something similar happened in Malaysia too in the same year.) The Philippines is once again polio-free as of June 11, 2021, as per WHO and UNICEF. [4]
So, even if the character was born during the time when a country was declared "polio-free", there is still a risk as long as strains are around (for example, re-infection due to vaccine-derived strains is currently a major problem in eradicating polio totally).
There are also 3 types of polio … 2 were eradicated completely, 1 is still endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan. There are currently 28 outbreak countries (re-infection) and 7 key at-risk countries (low levels of immunity and surveillance). [5]
* Type 1 - is still circulating * Type 2 - eradicated in September 2015; the last was detected in India in 1999. * Type 3 - eradicated October 2019; last detected in November 2012.
Seriously? They spent an entire episode to establish the flashback? That was a waste.
For example, there was no need to show that he was bullied in the prison. 1. It is a given. Practically all prisons in the world are like that. 2. They later had a scene where his fiancé visited him and the guard denied her and even explained why.
If they are going to add that scene and let the guard explain what happened, then the bullying scene is useless.
Also, the bully scene doesn't add anything to the story. They can use that scene as a flashback in the latter episodes. The guard explained he got into a fight, he was placed in solitary confinement, then showed up in bed afterwards. The audience are not dumb.
I really like Ha Do Gwon, he's a versatile actor. You can give him any role and he'll make that character unique, his own masterpiece no one can ever duplicate.
This show is going to end next week and that's another masterpiece character under his belt. I waited for his scenes far more than the main characters.
Only a rookie would make that mistake: "I am the company, and the company is me."
I wonder why she made that mistake. Her being looked down upon was not it, she used that as her resolve to succeed even though she's a high school graduate only.
There is something else deep down driving her … to the point that she made a rookie mistake.
For other people, we could say "her success got way over her head" but it isn't in her case.
Was it because of the suicide? She got unnerved because of it? She understood the woman committed suicide as a challenge to her? The shoes, the business card, she even waited for her before she jumped.
But then again, a woman like her who doesn't waver even if a kid is on the line, wouldn't be affected by a suicide or a challenge like that.

Lastly, polio is highly infectious. [6]

(She's only 5 years old!)
One of the few actors who makes sure no less than 90% of their roles are main characters.
For example, there was no need to show that he was bullied in the prison.
1. It is a given. Practically all prisons in the world are like that.
2. They later had a scene where his fiancé visited him and the guard denied her and even explained why.
If they are going to add that scene and let the guard explain what happened, then the bullying scene is useless.
Also, the bully scene doesn't add anything to the story. They can use that scene as a flashback in the latter episodes. The guard explained he got into a fight, he was placed in solitary confinement, then showed up in bed afterwards. The audience are not dumb.
This show is going to end next week and that's another masterpiece character under his belt. I waited for his scenes far more than the main characters.
Well done. Well done.
I guess that means see you in Bloody Heart.
Only a rookie would make that mistake: "I am the company, and the company is me."
I wonder why she made that mistake. Her being looked down upon was not it, she used that as her resolve to succeed even though she's a high school graduate only.
There is something else deep down driving her … to the point that she made a rookie mistake.
For other people, we could say "her success got way over her head" but it isn't in her case.
Was it because of the suicide? She got unnerved because of it? She understood the woman committed suicide as a challenge to her? The shoes, the business card, she even waited for her before she jumped.
But then again, a woman like her who doesn't waver even if a kid is on the line, wouldn't be affected by a suicide or a challenge like that.
There's definitely something else.
They've been dating for 2 years according to her and the private wedding will be sometime end of this month.
She also revealed that she will work on a new project after their wedding and post-wedding plans.
Other than those, not much.
