IM YourOnlyOne

In Sook started to get annoying in the latter half of episode 9.

What can't she understand about everything that is happening? Is her brain as small as a mouse that she still can't comprehend the situation is far larger than her stupid "we are all going to die anyway"?

Don't get me wrong, I've accepted death myself, fully embraced it. But I'm not wasting whatever remaining years I have.

Seriously, why are there people like In Sook? I've met a few of them in real life, and I was pissed--like now--with two of those I've met, they acted similarly as In Sook in episode 9.

episode 9 rant

Haha, yeah, he's probably jealous of his cousin because of Se Jin. Probably that was when he started to plan to outdo him.

I think the scene was in episode 5, if not try episode 6. If I remember correctly it was the scene wherein he saw Seung Tak and picked up his phone and after the encounter, he walked and avoided a ghost slightly -- that was why it's confusing if it was just a filming incident (since there was an actor standing) or part of the plot.

If that was not the scene, it would be one of those scenes wherein he was walking along a corridor. Seung Won walked slightly to the left to avoid the ghost/actor.

Yep. I hope they make her character a real "main character", she's only a support character currently. (Her "anti" fans need to know how good of an actress she is, hahahaha)

I hope those beautiful rooftop gardens are also popular outside of SoKor. Haha. It did look like they were at home somewhere.

Yep, yep. For some reason, scenes on rooftop gardens is a trend in SoKor these days.

Good points!

It's not necessary that they figure out who the ghost who possessed Young Min, but for them to leave it hanging, they will probably use that subplot in relation to the present.

It's also true that Seung Tak probably just doesn't want to learn. That it wasn't exactly what he wanted but he's an obedient kid and grandkid.

Speaking of grandkid … Seung Won is very suspicious also. There was a scene when he avoided walking through a ghost, as if he can see them. I'm not sure if it was just a minor slip during filming … or was part of the plot. Especially since his cousin Seung Tak kept the secret for long.

Maybe they both can see ghosts but neither of them is aware the other can too.

As the series progresses, it appears she can not see. However, she does have doubts. She's good at noticing the small details, like how Seung Tak rotates his hands before starting an operation which only Doctor Young Min does (and them knowing each other for long, Seung Tak never did it before).

And since it appears that she's familiar with ghost possessions, she's not dismissing that possibility and probably have pieced two and two -- Young Min is possessing Seung Tak -- which would also explain why she suddenly is over protective.

They still haven't explained two things:
1. Who was the ghost which possessed Young Min when he was an intern; and
2. How did Young Min become the best doctor; yet Seung Tak can not remember a think during possessions.

For #2: It currently appears that Young Min became a great doctor because he really pursued it and it was not because he retained some memories of the Doctor who possessed him, or some of his way of thinking transferred to him. At least based on the case of Seung Tak, he can not remember anything during possessions.

This is important because if he's gunning to pass the boards, at this rate he is doomed to fail. Imagine if what happened in ep.6 happens again? This time, there was no way for Young Min to possess Seung Tak. That in itself will become a mark on Seung Tak's records, forget about passing the board.

And while Seung Tak does seem have a photographic memory, or maybe he's using the "Method of Loci" (or "mind palace" as the 2010 BBC series Sherlock calls it), his experience as an intern matters a lot, otherwise he wouldn't bother going through with it because he can surely pass the board with that kind of brain.

So again, Seung Tak is doomed to fail.

For #1: If that possession of Young Min when he was an intern helped in some way to make him the best Doctor, then they need to find out who that Doctor was and how he was able to help Young Min.

----

At least those are what I'm thinking.

There are two common claims about seeing ghosts:
1. you died yourself, or almost died, and revived; and
2. you saw someone very close to you die.

When Seung Tak was a kid, he almost died after he fell from the boat while he and his father were fishing. It's not clear how he survived but his father ended up floating dead. That's a full check on both "claims" about seeing ghosts (see above).

As for the ep. 6 kid, I think he can be considered as good as dead and the operation was a miracle. Noticed how they kept on iterating that the procedure is "impossible" (or close to impossible) and it was only Doctor Young Min who so far have done a successful operation before. If that is the case, then it explains why the kid can see the Doctor in the body of Seung Tak -- at least based on the ep.7 preview.

I'm thinking she was one of the kids in episode 1 listening to the story of ghosts, so she's familiar with interns being possessed by experienced doctors.

The barrier is not to "the outside world", the barrier is a radius around his body. The roof top is still within that radius since his room is somewhere on the higher floors of the hospital.

^_^

Seeing Lee Hye Ri of Girl's Day and Mina of I.O.I/gu9udan together is so cute. I hope they give them more screentime together.

It doesn't work that way especially if it is an OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS.

If you have such a huge issue with that, then tell the Production Company to tag their SYNOPSIS with spoiler too and stop harassing people.

Episode 2 Part 1:
* Female Bulgasal: I will be born again with this scar that you have given me.

Episode 2 Part 2:
* Min Sang Yeon and Min Sang Woon are twin sisters. They have a younger sister named Min Shi Ho.
* In 2006, Min Sang Yeon was killed by an older Bulgasal. Min Sang Woon and Min Shi Ho fled and lived with the sister of Min Sang Yeon in her previous life.
* Min Sang Yeon remembers all her past lives.
* Min Sang Yeon have a scar, a reminder of the sword Dan Hwan used to kill her. Min San Wool doesn't have any, at least based on what was hinted.
* Min Sang Yeon told her twin: "he (the bus driver) is after my soul".
* Yet, the soul which the monsters can smell is in Min Sang Woon.
* It appears that the female Bulgasal's reincarnation was split into two. The sword scar and being able to remember her past lives went to Min Sang Yeon; while the soul of Dan Hwan went to Min Sang Woon.

Episode 3:
* Min Sang Woon kept trying to remember what her twin sister, Min Sang Yeon, told her when she (Sang Woon) hid in the closet (as seen in Episode 2).
* Min Shi Ho showed up.

Episode 4:
* Min Shi Ho's right hand hurts when she touches someone. -- Remember in Episode 2 when the female Bulgasal stole the soul of Dan Hwan, a soul mark showed up on her right hand.
* Min Shi Ho can feel something when touching other people with her right hand.
* Confirmed that Min Sang Woon was also the female Bulgasal, giving credence to the "twin theory".
* Min Shi Ho was Dan Sol, the wife of Dan Hwan in the past.

Episode 5 & 6:
* Confirmed our earlier theory that the reincarnated female bulgasal was split into two.
- However, I submit that the female bulgasal was not exactly split into two but rather her soul and Hwal's soul were separated.
- Hwal's soul is in Min Sang Woon
- The soul of the female bulgasal was in Min Sang Yeon
- Min Sang Yeon, the older of the twins, did something to protect Min Sang Woon from the ancient bulgasal.
- The female bulgasal is already dead (Min Sang Yeon) and is probably in limbo because she needs the soul of Hwal to be reincarnated -- but his soul is still in Min Sang Woon.
* Also revealed that there is a curse on the head of the female bulgasal and she wants to kill Hwal. That dream is not clear:
a. Was the female bulgasal referring to the ancient bulgasal, the one she desperate wants to kill?
b. Was she referring to the curse of reincarnation and remembering all her past lives? (Which sucks if you ask me.)
* Just like what Hwal asked, who exactly is Min Sang Woon if she is not the female bulgasal? Is she simply the female version of Hwal's soul?
- Does it mean then that if Hwal has taken Min Sang Woon's soul she would simply ceased to exist? There will be no female bulgasal since she's dead already? Only Min Sang Yeon have the sword scar.
- If she's simply the female version of Hwal's soul, what would happen if Hwal the bulgasal kills her? Would he be able to retake his soul? Or would he cease to exist since he technically killed himself/herself?

Episode 7:
* Kim Hwa Yeon (50 years ago; around 1971) - another past life of Min Sang Yeon & Min Sang Woon
* Kim Go Bun - younger sister of Kim Hwa Yeon; grandmother of Min sisters
* Hye Suk (Shaman) - burn on her right leg; was the young girl renting in the Kim's home.

Min Sang Woon (the other half)
- She only remembers when she's asleep.
- She's bonded with Ok Eul Tae
- theory: she's carrying Ok Eul Tae's soul

"The baby should have been killed when it was covered in its dead mother's blood. The curse of the blood should have ended then."
- The baby was Hwal.

Episode 8:
* Ok Sang Yeong was the previous name of Ok Eul Tae.

Prophesy:
The one with no memory is here.
The moment that person regains their memory everyone here will die.
In the same way that they died in their past lives, their necks will be bitten into.
They will bleed from every orifice and die.

Kim Hwa Yeon said:
It's all his fault. He caused everything.
You told us that it was all because of Dark Hole.
A man with a scar on his hand has been after you for 600 years.
It's because Dark Hole killed that man's family 600 years ago and made it look like you did it.

-- prophesy interpretation + Kim Hwa Yeon's warning:
---- If Min Sang Woon remembers what actually happened 600 years ago, Ok Eul Tae will kill everyone.
---- Min Sang Woon did not literally remember, but she learned that it was Ok Eul Tae who killed Hwal's family, not her.
---- because of this, Ok Eul Tae have no other option but to kill everyone to get what he wants--which is, to force Hwal to kill Min Sang Woon (since he can't do it himself)

Bonus:
Detective Su Gyeong (who happened to be Dan Hwal's mother 600 years ago)
- female junior detective

Kwon Seung In (was a serial killer in Gunam City who poisoned his victims in the 70s; was killed by a bulgasal)
- father with two kids
- daughter was also killed

According to Ok Eul Tae:
The one next to you is more frightening.
But you don't see its true self when it has lost all its memories.

Episode 9 and 10
Eul Tae - was the first son of Dan Geuk (600 years ago or 1000 years ago?) (2021: Detective Kwon Ho Yeol)
- he was human
- he encountered the female bulgasal
Eul Seo - Eul Tae's younger half-brother

1975
- Kwon Ho Yeol (big brother)
- Kwon Sun Hee (young sister)

* Nam Do Yoon was Dan Hwal's son 600 years ago named A-chan -- not surprising; I think most of us suspected it right from the start.


*** What we know so far, as of episode 10:
1. Dan Sol (Min Shi Ho in 2021) is the daughter and only child of Dan Geuk 600 years ago.
2. #1 guarantees that Eul Tae was the eldest son of Dan Geuk (Detective Kwon Ho Yeol in 2021) in an earlier past life (or 1,000 years ago from the perspective of Detective Kwon Ho Yeol).
3. Eul Seo, the younger half-brother of Eul Tae, could possibly be Dan Hwal in his earlier past life
4. Since Eul Tae met the female bulgasal (Min Sang Un in 2021) 1,000 years ago, it makes her the oldest bulgasal, much older than Eul Tae.
5. When Eul Tae killed Dan Hwal's wife (Min Shi Ho in 2021) and son (Nam Do Yoon in 2021), the female bulgasal was watching. She had a plan but it was messed up by Dan Hwal when he killed her, which was why she said in Episode 2 that he started a new set of "karma".
6. 2021: Min Shi Ho felt the death of Nam Do Yoon. It could mean [1] the baby inside her died as well; or [2] the baby inside her would've been stillborn because the soul of Nam Do Yoon hasn't transferred yet, he was destined to reincarnate as her son again.

Notes update as of Episode 10

It's not clear yet which time period it was.

Was it Kwon Ho Yeol 600 years ago or 1000 years ago.

Remember that Eul Tae said he's "much older" than Dan Hwal. It is possible then that:
1. Eun Tae was the son of Kwon Ho Yeol 1000 years ago
2. Dan Sol was the daughter of Kwon Ho Yeol 600 years ago

Two different time periods.

Nam Do Yoon was Dan Hwal's son, A-chan -- not surprising; I think most of us suspected it right from the start.

Latest notes as of Episode 9

That's why you should tell them. Don't let them dictate what you should do when you know you did not do anything wrong.

There was even someone who told me to put a spoiler on an OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS, so I replied back accordingly. An official synopsis is not a spoiler.
