So, here's another theory and observation.

Did you know that there is an order to the murders? It wasn't random. It follows a pattern and for a reason.

The pattern is: the Fibonacci sequence in reverse.

1. The first puzzle piece was at the top-right corner
2. Center-right side
3. Bottom-right
4. Center-bottom
5. Bottom-left
6. Center-left side
7. Top-left
8. Center-top side
9. Center piece

Who was first target?
- Someone totally outside of the conspiracy. As far as relationship and connections go, the first target was at the outer circle.
- What followed was, the relationship and connections gets more and more interconnected. As an example, Ina's uncle's murder was still a bit outside, hence, it was hard to find any connections. But the apartment connection was too easy and obvious. They just need to look at the right place.

This tells us that the order of the murders were not random. It hints at their relationship and connection with the person at the center.

It also tells Ina to hone her skills. To look where it matters. To ask the hardest questions. That, "Hey Ina, I'm giving you all the clues! Find the pattern and you'll figure out the rest! It's important so you can build a case to the final target!"

Now let's look deeper at the Fibonacci sequence: 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55

If we lay it vertically in reverse:
1. 55
2. 34
3. 21
4.13
5. 8
6. 5
7. 3
8. 2
9. 1

Combine it with the puzzle pieces:

- Piece №1 top-right = 55 = reporter who sensationalized issues at the expense of the victims; father of Ina's friend
- №2 center-right = 34 = Ina's uncle who were forced to close cases
- №3 bottom-right = 21 = 3rd apartment owner; lady in red
- №4 center-bottom = 13 = 2nd apartment owner; the chop-chop guy
- №5 bottom-left = 8 = 1st apartment owner; rude CEO
- №6 center-left = 5 = someone who knows deeply but did nothing (yacht guy)
- №7 top-left = 3 = the buffer and potential escapegoat to protect the mastermind
- №8 center-top = 2 = close collaborator; right-hand man
- №9 center = 1 = prime target; top of the pyramid/hierarchy; mastermind

The Fibonacci numbers could very well state how far in relationship and connection with the prime target a person is.

So, the reporter was "55". Practically outside. But he was targeted because he's a trash reporter.

Ina's uncle is "34". Also practically outside. Just an unlucky person caught in the middle, but he still did what he was ordered to despite knowing it was wrong.

The yacht guy is "5". He knows a lot things. Even told Ina things she didn't know about her parents. But he turned a blind eye and a deaf ear. He's as guilty as everyone else, far more guilty at that.

And so on.

It's possible, but there's a circular or fibonacci pattern to how the pieces/murders occur.

The serial killer isn't just killing his targets randomly. There's an order to it. With the way the puzzles where revealed, it's similar to a fibonacci sequence, only, he started outside of the pattern and goes inward towards the center.

The center, without a doubt, is the person at the center of it all. The wuestion is, a target to be killed or a target meticulously designed to reveal the crimes of the elite which were swept under the rug? Someone like the top person who ordered to hide things or someone like Ina, respectively?

I'm confused with your reply. My reply was explaining why Ina is the way she is. It was an answer to your feedback, and I quote, "yoon ina character is still same compared to past she playing like a game ,i don't know if she is serious about the case".

Anyway… she did forget and she was trying to remember the scene.

1. That was why she kept visiting her psychologist
2. It was why she kept talking to her psychologist about the past and she even complained almost every single time that she can't remember it; or why is she remembering more pieces "now" but not before
3. She even visits and stand at her uncle's crime scene to force her memories to surface, and said she's been doing it since and only "now" did the other part of her memories started surfacing

Also:
- She was not a profiler when she was 19, she was a Grade 12 student preparing for her national exams.
- Based on when she was assigned a psychologist that is the officially sanctioned partner of the police force, we can deduce that she joined 5 years ago. She only met those psychologists 5 years ago, and no doubt, she met them after the police force ordered her to.
- Forgetting memories, or parts of it, is usually because of a traumatic experience. Seeing a dead body, of a family member at that, and as a 19-year old, can be traumatic. Her brain went into self-preservation mode and blocked parts of her memories of that night. It's not fiction, it's well-observed and studied in real life.

No, don't rely on MDL cast list.

1st: they have weird rules that often don't align with industry standards and practices
2nd: they refuse any updates despite the obvious facts and sources provided, it's very tiring arguing with them

The "guest" is wrong for both psychologists. Whoever submitted that and whoever in the MDL team who approved it, did not check and not watching the series at all. Obviously, the two psychologists are not guests, but any update attempts were probably being declined—which again is not surprising.

If you're suspecting one or both of the psychologists, that's good because:
1. Both actors are celebrities. No production team will pay a fortune on celebrities only to give them "extra" characters.
2. If those characters are played by celebrity actors, then those characters are not "extras" or "guests". They are integral to the story. (It doesn't mean they're the real serial killers, being a misdirection is itself integral to the plot.)

Government agencies always have a partner psychologists, it's SOP. The company of those two psychologists are the police force's partner in their jurisdiction.

The old "newbie" was only assumed to still be fainted.

What if he faked it so he can set up the crime scene?

1. The moment the Captain left, he stood and positioned himself holding the shotgun.
2. He intentionally planned the Captain to choke him and to steal his gun.
3. He wanted his target to shoot the Captain because he's getting too close or he failed in doing his instructions (to use the Press).
4. After shooting his target, he left to hide the shotgun, and then pretended waking up rfter he fainted.
5. Perfect alibi.

I'm not saying that he is the serial killer. However, Ina is committing elementary mistakes: not suspecting everyone, even her caretaker.

Ina, as per official explanation, is a character who was mentally scarred because of what she witnessed when she was 19, her uncle's gruesome murder and how the suspect was behind her and watching. Which supposedly led to her 19 year old self becoming stuck yet she has the intelligence and wit of a 29 year old.

Unofficial, fan suspicion, she's Autistic-coded. As you've noticed, she's still the same as when she was 19 years old.

It's long but formated, less confusing than if I write it here in the comments section.

Be sure to read and leave yours too!

How many years passed between filming and reunion special?

You said follow the ratings and they don't have issues on their own, then why bother hire regular guests and test the next new member? By your own words, Yeeun did not contribute anything, so I guess the ratings going up and positive feedback since Yeeun became regular were because of the old members alone? And the young guests and temporary members were what? Useless?

So, you're saying that they're lying everytime the make jokes about their health and being tired and all that? That everything they say is scripted? If.so, that's not a variety show, it's a comedy TV series.

E753, best Yeeun impromptu. 🤣🤪

It's actually possible. 😉

Once our growth hormone stabalizes, the chances of losing a few inches increases. There are many factors to it sans hormonal issues. You can think of their height difference to be something like that, hehe. 😁

A good example that's not related to any health problems is our body compressed. Once our growth hormone stablizes, that's when we start to lose height. The longer and more frequent we sit and stand, the more gravity pulls us down, and thus, compresses body. Our bones especially. It's generally called "losing height as we age".

Then there's a lot of health issues that can result in losing height.

In the story, there's a difference between the twin's health. Mirae is weaker physically, had to drink health tonics to keep herself healthy. While Miji is strong health-wise. It could explain why in one scene, the two of them were almost the same height even though Mirae was wearing heels and Miji ordinary shoes. Maybe, Mirae is indeed shorter by a few inches.

So, maybe, the twins did have some growth hormone related issue. Either their growth stopped early, so they started losing height early. Or, they had a case indeed, and Mirae was the most affected.

This is just me giving an in-universe approach to the height difference between the two actors. ;) Of course, the actors are not of the same height (and in the scene I talked about, the other was no doubt Boyeong's double).

🖖🏽

They should really share info about Boyeong's double. She deserves praise too. A photo or something, even if not a name.

Unless they used the traditional camera technique in creating doubles (rewindind the film,and shooting for the other half of the same frame). There were scenes were Boyeong (and her younger version) were both facing the camera. One was definitely a double.

In a way, it's sad to be typecasted especially if you want to try different roles and genres. Like you said, in Melo Movie. And IIRC, she did mention in her vlog years ago she wants to widen her roles and experience.

But, no doubt most project proposals that reached her table, she was typecasted. 😅

It's understandable but she got known with that type of acting and delivery.

It's common for actors to be known for a certain type of role, and they're usually casted (not auditioned) for that type of role and acting they're popular for.

Boyeong is known for her cute, subdued acting, be it jolly or downcast. And the way she deliver her lines and the movement of her eyes.

She's capable of other types of acting but there's not much you can do with it if you were casted for the acting you are known for.

She also picks her own projects (in one of her webcast years ago, she talked about it), but of course, the projects she has to choose from were already pre-selected / pre-filtered too by her agency.

Also, noticed what she said in the library scene how she can't go. I think she's still blaming herself or at least feeling guilty about something related to the hospitalization of Mirae.

I'm suspecting it was related to Mirae being hospitalized.

It's really amazing. Her transformation was natural. Fits well with the plot of E02.

Yep. At first, I thought it was the lighting or makeup, but when I played all those " Day 1, 2, 3, …", it was natural. (Unless they used digital editing of course.)

The scenes were she had a thin V-shaped face were probably later in the filming schedule. 😅 After all the stress and consuming carbs from all the filming days. Which is safer too, instead of forcing it or going into fasting (while filming).

They really planned out the scenes.

Of course, we're not sure that's exactly how they planned it, but I think directors won't ask their actors to forcefully go on a diet during filming just to shot a few scenes where the character looks stressed and thinner than usual. I mean, it's one thing to be slim and totally another to be thin because of stress.

Then after more days passed both of them got used to their new routine and went back their cute rounded faces. It's like depicting how they adjusted and better able to handle things, so the character started to get better.
