Regarding the new case teaser. The first piece was the center. It looks like they'll be doing the proper Fibonacci sequence for that one, IF it.ever becomes the story for S02 and IF there'll ever be a S02.

The real ending was Ina closed her room door.

The scenes after that and up to the dinner, those were the after credits scene.

Then the scene with the bew puzzle piece is S02E01 opening scene. Notice how she has long hair? It hints that at least a year has passed since their dinner.

S02 may or may not happen. In fact, S02 may not even be abbout the teaser case but a completely different one. They probably will just hint about the teaser case as the first case she took on after returning to service.

😝

Just a teaser. It's not part of the ending.

The ending was when she closed her door.

Think of it this way. The scenes after she closed her room door were the after credits scenes.

Then the new case scene was the opening scene for S02E01. Her hair is longer, it means at least a year passed.

They're just teasing. It may happen. It might not.

1. Her hair is longer. It hints that at least has passed since they had dinner.
2. Just a teaser that they might do a S02. "Might" is the operative word.

Oh. I think she did. When she showed up for the new puzzle, she has long hair. It hints that at least a year has passed.

It's so hard to explain.

1. Cultural differences.
2. Differences in laws.
3. Who's to say her mother never looked at orphanages or the police never investigated?

As someone said, in the 20th Century, a kid can easily get lost and never found again. I'm 1982, I grew up in the 80s and 90s. From the Philippines. Kidnapping was rampant here during those decades, even adults were kidnapped (my 1st ex-gf's uncle was kidnapped once in the 90s). So, we just understand it that way.

It's understandable if it doesn't look like it's "realistic" if you were born in the mid-90s onwards, because they grew up in a time when there are plenty of CCTVs and laws improved. But, since the time period she was lost was sometime 80s and 90s, again it's so hard to explain you just have to accept it for how it really was IRL. 🙂

The new case is _not_ the ending, it is.the beginning of a _new_ case.

The ending of the story was when she closed the door to her room.

Any scene after that is a teaser for a possible Season 02. They may do it. They might not.

🙂

This. Same view.

What's "hours viewed" vs "views"? That means people repeated the same episode without reloading = hours viewed?

If anything, it's their mother that is creating a wedge between them. I think big bro started hating the ML because he's acting like an arse. Buying restaurants, stealing recipes, shutting them down, without a single care for anyone … just like their mother.

And at the same time, he's jealous because the ML is favoured and is actually good with what he does best. While he try to be a good businessman and employer which makes him losing to ML almost everytime.

If this was a 16-episode series, those brothers would've a chance to unite and face their mother together, "we had enough! We'll forcefully remove you as chairman!"

Yep. His brother did have that look of regret. Like, "holy sh*t, my little brother is finally a human being, I thought he was still going around being an arse, damn I miscalculated".

I usually have a different opinion whenever a show supposedly turned bad or a character turned bad. This is one of those moments when I agree that the Japan arc messed up the show. I agree that it didn't add much to the plot and characters for it to take 3(?) episodes.

They just wanted to go to Japan.

Something similar to another TV series a few months ago. The Japan episodes were bad, it was obvious they just wanted to visit Japan.

Is adding a Japan arc a new trend in Kdrama land? Is there a partnership or something to promote tourism in Japan? But they basely show the beauty of Japan, and the scenes are often blurred background or zoomed in, you can't appreciate the place at all. Hence, I do think these Japan arcs were an excuse for the cast and staff to visit Japan.

I'm sorry. If they want to add Japan arcs, at least give them justice. A fair amount of airtime. Film at actually good locations. Show us around. Show us the Japanese culture.

I mean, whenever you guys visit South-East Asian nations, your plot is always about "criminal gangs" or "Korean criminals are always hiding and making money in South-East Asia". Now, whenever there is a Japan arc, you don't show the culture, it's still very Korean. And in some cases, the production quality was bad or the location doesn't do justice.

So, why even bother going to Japan? Just do what you usually do, film it in Korea.

You're not alone.

I meae, come on! The FL often interrupted him whenever he was about to say it. People do that because they already have suspicions and they don't want to face the reality.

So why did they ask her to act as if she never had suspicions? She's not naive. She's not a fool.

Okay! Maybe that is why they suddenly showed her background as someone who grew up in a temple. Hoping the audience will understand that maybe she's the type of person who is disconnected from the world. Not watching TV. Not listening to radios. Not browsing online. Not reading newspapers. Not caring about the latest gossips.

Just move on with the flow of life. Be at peace with nature and time. Whatever comes, be thankful you're still alive.

Fine! She's that type of person. We get it.

But the fact remains she already heard him say about stealing recipes. When she heard it, her drunkenness suddenly disappeared. She was fully attentive and aware and focused. IT RATTLED HER. It woke her up.

So, why ask her to act like she never have suspicions about him?

He wanted him to be sick so he'll pass it to him then he can sell it.

FL: I know.
ML & Bro: YOU KNOW?!
FL: Why? Did you think I was stupid? I searched you online. You and your brother, mother, EX-GF are everywhere. And when you came here first, you were already obvious.
Bro: And you let him steal your recipes?
FL: It was his ex-gf. Besides, I'm the best chef in Korea, what's a few recipes? I can make better ones.

It would've been better if:

Don't be fooled, it's AI. 😅😝

Some naming options you can use:

If you want to refer to their switched roles:
- Miji-rae if you want to refer to Miji as Mirae = e.g. Do you think Hosu is aware it's Miji-rae?
- Mirae-ji if you want to refer to Mirae as Miji = e.g. Their mother still hasn't suspected it's Mirae-ji.

Another example: Do you think Hosu was with Mirae-ji or Miji in the photo? His mom thinks it was Mirae-ji. (Meaning, she's aware they switched, that it was Mirae pretending to be Miji.)

If you want to refer to them as their real selves:
- Miji if as herself (usually teenager; student era)
- Mirae if as herself (usually teenager; student era)

Others:
- Mr. Organic Farming or Strawberryman
- Hosu
- Vice-Principal
- Miji's ex
- Attorney Win; or Attorney Winning-Is-All-That-Matters
- Shy Guy (from the office)
- Maniac or Predator (the one Mirae tried to expose)

Mirae also gave nicknames to her boss and his henchman, but I can't remember. 🤣

Misunderstood, as is usually the case.

Some even assumed Mirae tried to commit suicide when it was clear she planned to have an accident to force them to give her an extended leave.
