I simply said he needs to loosen up so he can copy ARin's girly actions. It is for his improvement.
And mind you, I know what I'm talking about, as I'm a straight guy who used to be bullied as gay because I walk and move like a girl, soft, delicate, and all that. When I grew up, I became stiff because all those bullying got into me. That is why I was able to spot his stiffness because I'm first-hand familiar with it.
Or, maybe I misunderstood you and what you're telling me is that he is perfect and there is no more room for improvement?
As the 2FL said, "I am only a mouthpiece". It hints that she exists because it humanity has been secretly desiring to see who slept with whom.
Later, she also said that her existence was exactly to bring in the S-Day, and after that it doesn't matter if she dies or live.
The "cult" is the representation of her power. She gains power because there are people being controlled by the S-glasses. The secret desire of those people is giving her power.
This is a common trope even in European mythologies. The trope goes that the g-ds exist and have power because humanity secretly desired to have g-ds. The more a g-d is worshipped, the more powerful that g-d becomes.
In Neil Gaiman's "American Gods", he deeply explored this ancient trope and adapted it into the modern world. In his story, there is a g-d of handyphone. The more people use it and are glued to it, the mire powerful he becomes. And the many, not all, of the old gods are weaker, dying, or getting murdered because they no longer have worshippers and thus almost powerless, not even to protect themselves.
In Neil Gaiman's "Sandman", that same ancient trope was used again. You can watch, I think it was in S01, the episode where a goddess died because she's so weak. She had few temples left and few worshippers. Guess what her temples are? R-21 adult bars. Who were her worshippers? Patrons of those bars.
Even in Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Nordic mythologies, this trope was touched on, and sometimes used to weaken another g-d.
Going back, that is what that "cult" is about, and potentially that is what the 2FL's identity is. She is a goddess made out of human desires and to power up she need constant worshippers.
Noticed how she tried to lure the detective? Because the detective did not fall under her control. Meaning, the human wearing the S-glasses should unleash their inner desire to murder, to accuse. But the detective remained objective and in full control of himself.
Later, after she died, she appeared as a spirit to the 1FL. It's a hind that the reaction of humanity during the 1 year time jump, enabled her to exist as a spirit, and started following the 1FL. Now, she truly is a goddess, no longer one trapped in a shell that dies.
HH entered into another dimension, her blood allowed her to enter into KJ's illusionary world. KJ sees the world…
> 1. Okay so the people running around in the alternate dimension. Where did they go. Since they aren't wearing the glasses That means they should've be under the spell or whatever the s line lady has them under
A: They went back to wherever they were before they were transported, just like the FL and the detective were returned to the rooftop.
> 2. Why did her eyes turn blue
A: Maybe because she is no longer the sole person who can see the S-Lines.
> 3. Is she really cursed. That her bf died after having sex with her
A: No, her 1 night bf did not die because he had sex with her. He was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time.
And she is not cursed. It was just her assuming she is curred because her family died. She thought it was because of her.
Her own mother debunked the FL's "I am cursed" assumption.
> 4. Why that high school. Why did the immortal lady choose that school specifically
A: No reason. It could be any school and the 2FL would lure the 1FL there.
If you really need a reason, because the 2FL is in the town, and she's enrolled there before she became a recluse.
> 5. Where did the bully girl go
A: Wandering wherever abusing her glasses. Or, probably died because of it. She's on a plot device, nothing else.
> 6. If she's immortal and all powerful why did she need s line girl blood. What is her relation to it
A: Nowhere did it imply that the 2FL is immortal and all-powerful. As she said, her existence is only to bring upon "S-Day", and the only person who can do that was born as the 1FL.
Maybe she received a prophecy. Maybe she is from a shaman line. Or, maybe, she's simply the avatar of humanity's desire to see sexual relations so people can murder their rapists and cheating spouses.
In other words, it doesn't matter what her true identity is. She just is. And she served her purpose.
> How is her birth a gift and a curse
A: It's neither. It was simply the 1FL's assumption that she's cursed. And it was simply the 2FL's manipulation that she is a gift.
For the 1FL, she thinks it's a curse because everything she witnessed related to S-Lines were bad—people usually die.
For the 2FL, she calls it a gift because humanity has been secretly desiring it. As she said so herself, "I am only a mouthpiece".
Depending on which side of the line you stand determines if it is a curse or a gift.
So, is it a gift or a curse? Neither. Just like how AI is neither a gift nor a curse. It is up to humanity how we use the tools we were given that makes the tool—or ability in this case—a gift or a curse.
That falls into scifi-fantasy genre. There's nothing much to it.
Yes, I do agree it was very odd for it to suddenly turn that way. For me it was hilarious because that's the typical route newbie creative writers take. Creating an ending is as hard as writing the first chapter. 😝😁
However, after watching the entire episode, I realised it was an artistic way of telling a psychological, sociological, and morality type plot for only 6 episodes.
For example, the 1 year time jump, there shouldn't be any questions as to what happened during that 1 year. Why? We've seen it in sample cases from E01 to E05. All those cases were social experiments, a minor taste of what will happen.
And the detective represent those who would use it for "good".
Going back to scifi-fantasy. If you really want an explanation about the pocket dimension, you're free to make your own. That's part of this story's art.
As the 2FL explained, she simply is a mouthpiece to humanity's deepest secret desire to see sexual relations. Or, to put it another way, she is like a g-d that was created and made powerful by humanity's desire. And her sole purpose was to bring S-Day, and she did.
That's it. Don't think about the scifi-fantasy part, really. Focus on the main plot: How humans, like YOU, will react if you can suddenly see S-Lines. That's the whole message.
The concept is actually original, I haven’t seen anything like the whole S-Line thing in other dramas. But the…
In Koreae drama perhaps, maybe even in Korean literature. But I've seen the concept in English-language literature in various forms and genres. Of course, not exactly as "Sex Lines", but as a mysterious line that reveals our deepest secrets and connections.
I'd say, this was the first time that trope was used for sexual relations.
Basically, it's as I've explained before when it premiered, it is a serious story about how humanity will react if they can see S-Lines.
What happened in the last two episodes, actually just the last episode, was the scifi-fantasy way of sharing the FL's ability to the rest of the world.
And in the 1 year gap, all posible reactions happened based (some were already explored in the earlier episodes).
1. People got obsessed with their S-Lines and want it gone, so they started hunting each other. 2. Some started murdering each other because they now know their partner has been cheating. 3. Some later realised they were not cheating but it was their S-Lines before they even met. 4. The rape victims hunted the rapists and probably killed them. 5. In some rape cases, the courts were probably forced to reopen cases because they can all prove things beyond any reasonable doubt. 6. Some, even though it was consensual, were accused of rape to blackmail them. 7. To some, the S-Line is a shame and people judged them for being a "slut". 8. It also exposed those in the oldest profession. 9. While a only a few people actually used it for good. 10. Finally, those without S-Lines are either virgins or murderers, or lucky ones who had past sexual relations who passed away. Having no S-Line is not a guarantee they have a better life.
To sum it all up: Humanity became very judgemental.
That's basically it. It's a sociology, psychology, moral type of story.
Can someone please explain the last 2 episodes to me 😭😭😭😭Pleaseeee

Yes, we were right, this short series is a serious about a serious subject matter: How will people react if they can see S-Lines (lines that how many sexual partners you've had)?
It's sociological, psychological, and morality all-in-one. If you want to give this a try, take it seriously because this is a work of art. This isn't meant to drool on your favourite celebrities.
The actor for Kim JiHun needs to loosen up. He looks funnily weird when he tried to act like a girl doing cutesy act. His body was so stiff. 😅
Also, the shave scene. Why give her a regular shave? He could've bought the modern shaves that makes it easier and doesn't damage the face skin. A skin like that will be damaged by a regular shave, not advisable.
Besides, didn't he realize that ladies know how to use shaves? They have their own too. 😂 He is worrying too much. Meanwhile, his mangirlfriend was enjoying it all, she pretended not to know how to use shaves. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Smart girl! I highly approve!
Going back, the actor really need to loosen up to copy ARin's movements. 😝 Relax. Let go of the prejudices you've learned about how a man should be. You are a water. Everything is fluid. Go with the flow. Be man enough to release the inner lady in you.
Like, this is barely a half-drama and we're already a quarter in - what is the main plot?! There's not a lot of…
It is indeed short. There are so many things happening that should be given some background.
I guess, they are experimenting on short-form format. Probably they were inspired by the British, 8-episode TV series format. The thing with British showbiz, they're not restricted by time slot. So, if they need more scenes, they can freely do that. But here in Asia, it's always about the time slots.
And yes, they shouldn't assume the audience read or will read the original source material.
That hypnotism scene, something has to be said about that because it's often dismissed.
Be very careful when someone tells you to "breath", "reeelllaaaax", "breath". Many people easily enters hypnotic mode and that's when they become susceptible to suggestions and/or subjective questioning.
You can search about police questioning cases where the suspect was inadvertently subjected to subjective questioning because the police didn't know any better. When it was proven, the police were banned from guiding people to breath and relax, and they were trained how to ask objectively. Yes, before it was proven, there were many falsely accused suspects.
Make sure that you can trust someone telling you to breath and relax and calm down and "empty your mind".
Another false belief is that hypnotism makes one close their eyes or fall half asleep. Not true at all. You can hypnotise someone without them closing their eyes.
Yet another false belief, you need some object to hypnotise someone. No. With the right words, you can hypnotise anyone.
Here's the thing, hypnotism is broad. In fact, the best term is mind conditioning or mind control. Marketers use it a lot. Politicians use it a lot. Brand managers use it a lot. The government too.
It's science, not paranormal or fringe.
And the more you understand your target, the higher your success will be. Why? Because different people reacts to different approaches and stimuli. Some have a strong mind, you'll have to find their weakness. Some are easy to manipulate, practically anything will work.
So, again, be careful. "Breath", "relax", "empty your mind", is not as innocent as you assume it to be.
Her asshole of a father didn't even have to use an object. He's a hypnotist wannabe only.

During the tattoo scene, the sisters talked:
"If what mom and dad told us is true and it happens to us,"
"This is our proof of who we are and we'll vouch for each other."
Then later they explained how it happened to their mother, as well as, many in their ancestral line.
