I did suspect when we first met JH that he was also a witch but he didn't show up a lot so I put that thought…
2ML realized 2FL is in danger. The only reason nothing _so far_ has happened is because she is not in love with him. Yes, she can get into minor accidents because of the 10 meter rule, 10 minutes rule, and 10 sentences rule, which she violated 3 times already.
However, there's no guarantee to it. Not like with having a single tiny feelings for the person, which guarantees an accident, minor or otherwise.
Another theory, I think for people have no feelings for the accursed, they will only start experiencing accidents once phey violated something 10 times.
The show is all about 10, 10, 10.
The 2FL violated 3 rules 3 times. That's 9 violations already. If she violates one more, she'll start experiencing accidents.
the 2nd lead curse triggers if they are very far apart?thats why he wants to stop the bus? hoping to have a close…
It's probably the same. In the preview, 2FL started to develop feelings so now she's in danger because she kept on talking to him qnd breaching the 10 meter rule.
2ML wants her to alight the bus because he realized she'll be in danger. I think 2ML figured out how to save her.
Then the preview switched to 1FL figuring out where 1ML is hiding, and hinted she realized she has feelings for him. So, she'll find him and confess.
Remember the crush of 1FL? He did not die because 1FL has a crush on him. 1FL probably figured it out herself. Which 1ML alreqdy figured out hence he planned this elaborate scheme, for 1FL and for 2ML.
When they revealed the twist, I thought 1ML wanted them to meet so they can cancel each other's curse and free them.
No. They can't cancel each other. The curse still applies. Their only advantage is they have some safety net, like how 2ML tested if he will get into an accident. But he liked 1FL and confessed to her, he'll die. His immunity from accidents won't apply to death.
There is only one way to cancel the curse, the cursed needs to confess that they love the person and they must confess it first.
However, the 2FL was with 2ML three times already. 1. Café 2. Her TV station office 3. 1ML's room
She's already in danger. The only thing that's keeping her alive is she hasn't developed feelings for 2ML.
Which means, the girl being stalked almost died because she started to like the 2ML. The stalker just happen to be the closest and easiest to be manipulated by the curse to bring her death.
Oh thank you for the explanation ^^ Didn't have to bother looking it up.Side Note: I once asked a Korean teacher…
Yes, that's correct. 🙂 In current Korean speech, 예 and 에 are no longer distinguishable. Our Korean teacher told us we should just remember the correct spelling because it still matters in written form; and how today the distinct pronunciations are usually only heard from teachers, those who live in the provinces, or the older generation. She said that for us learning 21st Century Korean, just remember the correct spelling. 😁
She's from KCC (Korean Cultural Center) and happens to work for a Korean government agency too. I figured then, if she said it so, then it is so. 😅
In general, I think all languages have these confusing pronunciations which eventually results or resulted in a new spelling too.
In the Filipino language, which was based on the 8 major languages in the Philippines (not counting the various dialects and minor languages), there are a lot of such words.
An example is "lalaki" (male). The correct spelling (in school) is "lalaki" but it's often pronounce as "lalake". The pronunciation "lalake" is technically incorrect too because the vowel sound is somewhere between "i" and "e". Unfortunately, our limited use of the Latin/Roman script is preventing us from writing the correct vowel pronunciation. Because of it, we now have 3 pronunciations and 2 spellings for that word. 🤣🤣 I still remember our teachers teaching us the proper pronunciation, "it's not an "i" or an "e", it's in between like this, listen". 🤣 But today, we've forgotten how exactly to pronounce it properly. Only the teachers, those in the provinces, and older generations remember.
Explanation on why the 1ML's father laughed about his name.What the kid ML wrote was 해성 (Haeseong), but he…
In other words, since he still pronouncing it as 해성 (Haeseong), his name means "sea castle".
I think that's ironic because his character is actually like a sea castle not a comet or meteor (혜성 (Hyeseong)).
Sea castle: strong yet fluid; easily adapts to the situation Comet/meteor: stiff, raging (if close to the sun), frozen (if in deep space)
One could say as an NIS agent, he is putting a fake personality (the comet/meteor) but once you break his shell you'll find his charm, like a sea castle. And that's what the 1FL saw about him during the photoshoot; and his sister when he apologized.
It was a very nice play on words. As a person he wants to be a comet/meteor so he's acting like one. But the way he kept pronouncing and writing his callsign incorrectly made him a sea castle type of person he is denying himself to be.
Explanation on why the 1ML's father laughed about his name.
What the kid ML wrote was 해성 (Haeseong), but he said it's the word for comet.
His father laughed because it was wrong.
해성 (Haeseong) means sea castle.
What he actually wanted to write was: 혜성 (Hyeseong) which means comet or meteor. Another variation is 헤성 (Heseong).
Second point: his father was confused when the kid said 해성 "Haeseong" but was talking about comets. The reason was he pronounced it incorrectly. The pronunciation of 해 (Hae) is different from 헤 (he) and 혜 (hye).
And so his father asked him if he will never regret it. 😅
Third: it's also why his childhood friend kept correcting him. 🤣 They didn't show what he wrote but I'm suspecting the kid FL taught him how to write properly his nickname but he kept writing 헤성 (Heseong). She kept telling him it's 혜성 (Hyeseong). While 헤성 (Heseong) is acceptable today, it probably wasn't back in the timeline when they were kids. Besides, in school, wrong spelling is wrong.
The 2025 Korean supernatural film, «검은 수녀들» («Black Nuns»), is the sequel to the 2015 Korean supernatural…
Hehe. The prequel was more like the first attempt. An experiment. And Dark Nuns is their real deal after learning from The Priests 1.
For example, they improved the dialogues and story of the demon. It makes more sense from a Biblical perspective. While in the prequel, the demon was a generic demon who doesn't know which religion it belonged to. 😅
Since it's about Roman Catholicism & Biblical demons, the demon should come from a Biblical perspective. It's dialogues and logic should come from the narrative of the Bible.
It's hard to explain for me. But if you're familiar with Rick Riordan's works on mixing multiple mythologies, or the novel "American Gods", that should've been the approach they used in The Priests but unfortunately they did not. However, they corrected that in Dark Nuns.
Which I think is why they repeated some scenes and dialogues from the prequel. They probably intended it to be a reboot but someone told them to link it to The Priests so they can turn it into a trilogy.
Problem is, if they'll indeed release a third movie, I'll have high expectations. They should've learned from The Priests and Dark Nuns by then. Probably fix some continuity.
You know, now that I think more of it, it was probably intended as a reboot. Connecting it to The Priests introduced some weird things here and there. 😅
While watching E06, I just had a thought. From a time travel perspective, her "visions" aren't exactly "visions" the way we understand it. She's actually remembering things that already happened.
In real world theories, the most prevailing theory is that everything that should happen already happened. So, if you see future self tomorrow, it simply means it already happened, otherwise you wouldn't see you future self.
We just assume the future is "yet to be written" because we think we are in the "present time". But for the future self, our "present" is their "past". "Past", "present", and "future", are simply constructs of our mind to anchor us and make sense of the flow of time. However, in reality, there is no past, present, and future, there is only "now". Everything is "now". All of "now" are happening at the same time. Hence, it's possible to see future self because it's all "now", it all are happening at the same time; or to put it into perspective, everything that should happen already happened.
With me so far?
With this understanding, what the 1FL is calling "visions" are not exactly "visions" the way we understand "visions" to be. Rather, she's remembering things that already happened. Her "future" self and "2025" self are quantum entangled. Her "future" self is sending her memories to her "2025" self.
And this has been proven in quantum physics. Literally proven and observed. Quantum entanglement across times is a fundamental law of our reality.
This is what her "visions" are. She isn't seeing visions of a "possible future", she is literally remembering or receiving memories of things that literally already happened. Not "will happen", it is "happened", past tense.
And she can change their course in the timeline if she acts.
The reason why she is not seeing memories from a different reality is because their current course is still headed to the same reality. She can only receive those memories from the reality she is headed. She doesn't have the ability to receive memories from different realities.
In other words, whenever she is changing time, she is going blind. It is why her mother warned her against it. Not only because a portion of her lifespan is taken away but also because they'll never know the repercussion of their actions.
They need precogs to guide them on what to change. But that's a different genre and story already.
P.s. I have no idea how the original author explained their powers.

The 2025 Korean supernatural film, «검은 수녀들» («Black Nuns»), is the sequel to the 2015 Korean supernatural movie, «검은 사제들» («Black Priests»). However, anyone who wants to start with the sequel has no need to watch the first as «검은 수녀들» («Black Nuns») is a standalone movie, and the two are almost identical in plots, twists, and execution.
NOTE: The things written below were made in comparison with the prequel «검은 사제들» («Black Priests»).
The Good: 1. They gave the demon more dialogue. 2. The things the demon said are more in line with what's in the Bible, and more direct. 3. They gave the possession more screen time. 4. Less on the supernatural and more on realism. (No silly roaches; no "the demon finally started to use its power after it was caught") 5. Handled well the issue of "medical vs religion" when it comes to demon possession. 6. Brought into focus how skeptics handle witnessing demon possession. 7. Balanced relationship between Roman Catholicism and Korea's Shamanism.
The Bad: 1. Many scenes were a repeat of the scenes in «검은 사제들» («Black Priests»). They could've thought of something more unique. 2. Some dialogues were the same from the prequel. It doesn't have to be the same simply to pay homage to the original. It can be something else altogether since the sequence were the same already, thus the audience already are already aware at that point. 3. They didn't provide a clear background story to the primary character just because she'll sacrifice herself in the end. They should've done so to make the audience attached to her character. Her sacrifice was shallow, "I don't have a choice, I'll die anyway, so I'll die on my own terms and not because of this cancer". Surely, there was a very deep story behind her quick decision to sacrifice herself, it wasn't just because the same demon killed her mother. 4. The secondary character, while she was given a clear background story, they did not give her much to do. She was just an extra. Less than an assistant. While her role was important in the exorcism process, the film itself did not give her justice. Since they planned to let her character survive and join with the Priest from «검은 사제들» («Black Priests»), they should've given her more things to do, say, and screentime.
The Ugly: 1. The ending city sequence was totally unnecessary, especially those rats. It was so weird especially since two streets across everything was business as usual, no rats, nothing unusual. The timing was also weird. They were somewhere on the outskirts of the city, and they had to drive back in the middle of the city to get to a church? It was probably a 30-minute drive. Even if there were no Roman Catholic churches near the hometown of the possessed kid, they didn't have to find a church right in the middle of the city. They even showed the city's skyline and established how the kid's home was not in the city proper. 2. Why did they use the Snake again but different name? It was already the Snake in «검은 사제들» («Black Priests») for one of the twelve major demons, and that one was defeated. The one in «검은 수녀들» («Black Nuns») should've been a different one. Are they all Snakes? Or, trying to avoid the Dragon? If they're not afraid in offending Roman Catholics, then they should not be afraid in offending those who worship the Dragon.
That's all.
Oh, bonus, the numbers the demon mentioned were not random. However, I'm not sure if the writers intended that or had no idea about it. 😝
