I’m glad that Bong Su was humanized. It was fun seeing him run around like a little kid with that goofy grin…
He's a kid who passed away during what appears to be the Korean War. It doesn't appear he has grudges, he was simply looking for his name.
So, he still is only an "evil spirit", not yet totally lost. However, his time is short, he is in danger of turning into a "demonic spirit", and there's no going back after that.
He is technically an "evil spirit" because he is possessing humans and has a dark aura. But he isn't a "demonic…
It appears that he died during the war. So, he isn't an "evil spirit" because of revenge, hatred, or injustice. He turned into one because he is overstaying.
Overstaying is a common concett in Korean mythology. A spirit that overstays in the living world slowly consumes their good karma, and eventually turns into an evil spirit. If not cleansed or they haven't found what they were looking for, they eventually turn into demonic spirits.
i'm confused about why Bong su isn't "evil" like his resume said. lol I thought he might be a pitty lit soul but…
He is technically an "evil spirit" because he is possessing humans and has a dark aura. But he isn't a "demonic spirit".
In English nuances, what you're describing is actually a "demonic spirit". It is a spirit that ultimately turned into a demon. While a spirit that is emanating a dark aura and power, possessing humans, yet is not acting like a demon, is simply called an "evil spirit".
In Korean shamanism, an "evil spirit" can still be saved. But a spirit that turned into a demon is hopeless. The state of being an "evil spirit" also have stages and types. Those with unfinished business like revenge, those who were lost, or tied into the living world, to mention three.
The more they use dark powers, the more hatred they build, the closer they are into becoming demons, and there's no going back.
Bongsu is still an "evil spirit" and seems to have control so far. He can't remember his name which made him stuck in the living world, cursed as an evil spirit.
However, his time is running out. He is getting closer to becoming a demonic spirit.
He didn't say anything other than "a name". But based on how he can't remember his name and how he knew the name he is looking isn't in the yearbooks, it means he's looking for his own name. Probably it's the only way tomsave his soul, and the very reason he hasn't moved on and was looking to possess bodies.
Fourth. The plot is heavy. They sent a lot of messages with just two episodes, and you can pretty much guess what…
True. It could've been 8 to 10. I want to explore as many questions and scenarios now that they opened Pandora's box.
Or, maybe, they can release a Director's Cut for those who wants to dive deeper.
While, yes, it will all be theoretical perhaps even completely fiction, but there are obvious realistic sociological and psychological aspects into this. A scary topic too, but something we will probably have to face as technology progresses—some form of it might become a reality.
Fourth. The plot is heavy. They sent a lot of messages with just two episodes, and you can pretty much guess what the remaining 4 episodes will be about. It isn't about the S-Line per se or the glasses, it's about how humanity might react if they can see who slept with whom.
This might become controversial in Korea, but not in other countries. While, yes, there is nothing wrong with sleeping left and right in other cultures, it isn't the case in other cultures. In your culture you might not react out of jealousy, but in other cultures, it's revenge.
Speaking of revenge, that includes blackmail, which our dear niece did because she got cocky and thought she's suddenly above everyone else.
The 1FL is correct, it is dangerous. This knowledge can kill people in various ways.
OFC the FLs dad was a cheater of course it was with someone known to the wife, crazy how the student had 1 but…
Not defending him, but how can he be a cheater when he is single? In addition, so far he's only doing the deed to unmarried women? I'm just trying to understand the logic. 🖖🏽

Maybe = the twist
Maybe not = shamans do look like that because of their patron god

I wonder if the hairstyle was based on the webtoon, or it was a production decision so audiences are not distracted because she's an idol.

Yeah, the maker of the glasses is a curious one. What is their objective? Or, was it simply a sick social experiment?

But I doubt she died, her S-Line remained strong. Which is a miracle. Maybe she's like the 1FL, won't die no matter what.
Secondly, why did they had to choose that hairstyle for A Rin when her character went back to school? I can't recognize her. 😝
Third. I Da Hui's previous role in «Divorce Insurance» is still fresh. Her role here is a 180° reverse. Cool. Bright aura. Sweet. Charming.
