Right? Also, er, didn't they previously say James couldn't tell red from other colors? And now he doesn't know any of the colors of the rainbow, like he sees in black and white? Idgi, his disability changed? lol

Never, it's a theory~ A game theory~ (bad reference, sorry)

Can you please mark your comment as a spoiler since it implies Chita is a Nour?

"who turned james into a nour? why did james glow like that when he saw chita killing prae- was it because he wanted to die and seeing that he could now, got him excited?" I think you mean Ken

Ji and Ken might have known Chita was a Nour all along, but fell for his whole 'I got hurt because the murderer tried to kill him, look at my burn marks! Proof!' and thought he was mostly harmless.

Before that. They were wasting time at the gas station, talking about rainbows and stuff instead of going after Ji and Prae.

I agree that they wasted too much time, but I already knew it was gonna be like this when the creator said the show said the show was 60/70% romance and drama and 30/40% investigation -_- Very Goddess Bless of them...!

What actually pissed me off, though, is that they MUST HAVE cut out an important scene and placed that fluff there instead... Otherwise, how the hell did James know Ken was suicidal? They never talked about that, and suddenly he's shoving Ken and accusing him of wanting to go after Chita just because he wanted to die. He couldn't have come to the conclusion that he was trying to get the murderer to kill him just from that washing machine incident 5 years ago, he might have been over his suicidal ideation by then!

Ken lost control and bit his friend because he was hungry. The friend survived because he didn't take enough blood to kill him, and much later on, died of cancer. No true loves here.

When did anyone say only Nour's true loves can kill them? I don't remember that at all, and I've watched everything twice. Timestamp? As far as I know, that's just a theory from one of the commenters that got really popular on this board.

Most people were sure he was at least Nour, if not the killer - I was at 60% 'he's the killer' and 40% 'he's just a little Nour' @_@ He was clearly sus to most of the commenters, but I don't think that's a failure on the show's part <3

Right? It felt like they removed a scene from last episode where that was made clear, and didn't check to see if things still fit without it.

Which is totally what happened with Chita @_@

Nothing solid on Chita's reasoning yet. Probably a Nour-hunter for some reason... Protecting humans? Revenge? Rivalries? Too many options until we get his background.

About James's dad, I think it's very likely - or that he knew too much about Nour and was a threat, at least, but that wouldn't help explain James's 'powers' unless James's mom was the Nour and the reason the dad knew so much. (Aka the James's is half-nour theory)

I think Ken knew Chita was Nour but either didn't think he was a threat (and does let him get involved with Ji) or was quietly investigating him until he settled on Prae being the killer (at which point he wrote that she was the nour who killed nours on her picture on his murder board)

I think Chita burned himself, either on accident while killing someone, or on purpose: but either way he used it to seem innocent and like another intended victim of the serial killer, aka himself @_@

Ken's aura always sparkles when he's doing Nour activities @_@ Same with Prae and Chita - killing people using super-strength, super-speed, healing, or tasting blood (like Ken in all the intimate scenes). It's probably a Nour thing.

I have my own current theory about Chita and Ken, here @_@ If you'd like to take a look. I don't fully believe it myself, though: https://kisskh.at/808228-nour-the-series#comment-27607164

Red might not have anything to do with lies. In one of their interviews last week Boss said 'people might assume James's aura is red because he's very fiery, but he actually seems him as blue, because he has sadness inside him,' so... And I dunno about green being truth, either. The female cop had a green aura the day they were out drinking!

He might have known and a) not thought he was a threat because they knew each other from before or b) have been quietly investigating him as one of the suspects until he got convinced it was Prae (and wrote on her picture saying it was her)

I never said anything about Jirat in the theory. He might know, yeah. Ken sure seemed to know, so why can't he? As long as they didn't think Chita was a threat/the killer, it works. (but then again, if he knows, he doesn't know they can't eat regular food, or he wouldn't have made him try his mom's curry lol)

I'm happy about being completely right about how things went down between Prae, Tee and the killer, including who turned who, how she got hurt, and why she took Ji. Made me feel very observant [?] and also bad for Prae. But yay to getting not only the identity of the murderer but so much other stuff!

Oh, and of course, they were the one who killed James's dad, as expected, and the nour-killing fire is their own ability, as I guessed. Btw, I'm also sure they were surely also the one who bit Ji's mom (the doctor will be livid when he finds out - supposing he's still alive in any way. I think, if Ji survived getting bitten, the killer took him away before killing Prae).

And no, IMO, the reveal wasn't obvious. It was well-constructed and there were fair hints (spoilers: https://kisskh.at/808228-nour-the-series#comment-27513852 and https://kisskh.at/808228-nour-the-series#comment-27512384), but the obvious choice would have been Prae, who was the red herring... It worked the usual way a murder mystery works - but anyway, there are more plot twists coming for sure.

Btw: We still don't know what each aura color means... I was hoping James was going to tell Ken when he was talking about the rainbow, but no such luck. I didn't love that scene, btw, not so much because of how they were wasting time, but, uh - wasn't Ken just unable to see red correctly? That's what he said in the scene with the fish and drunk James, so why is he suddenly unable to see any colors? Were the subtitles wrong back then? Does he see in black and white like the opening?

I think that's possible, too. That he already saved him, perhaps even turned him, supposing they're 'true love'.

We haven't seen red =lie before, to my knowledge. We saw the cops (blue, green), and the pale greige auras (Prae, Ken, Nours not using their powers), and the rainbow sparkly ones (Ken, Prae, Chita, Nours either feeding or using their powers) No red, as far as I can remember. Do you have timestamps?

Chita and Ken were each other's true love. Chita eventually found a new purpose in life - killing other Nours. Someone must have done something dreadful, gone on a killing spree, murdered his mortal family, dunno. Possibly even Ken, but he was still unable to bring himself to kill him, so he not only separated from him, but faked his death (by fire, a power Ken didn't know he possessed) and traveled away. He went around the country, and perhaps abroad, hunting and killing Nours he deemed a threat.

His lover's "death" gave rise to Ken's 200 years of suicidal ideation and many attempts on his own life - before that, he didn't even know a Nour could die, and he started trying to find ways, but was only sure it could be done when the local serial killing spree started 5 years ago.

5 years ago, something brought Chita to town. Someone he needed to kill - perhaps he finally decided to kill his ex-lover (I haven't forgotten his bitterness when talking about how his ex lied to him). His cover story to Ken is that he was badly burned and took a while to recover - look, he's still "hurt!!" and can't he stay for a while? Sure, he lost control once and almost ate an old lady, but he's on top of his hunger/healing now and will keep to himself...

Ken is no fool, though. He suspects the timing of the killings matches when Chita got back, despite the latter's attempts at disguising it, plus the fake death thing is too much. He starts wondering if Chita is the serial killer who can kill other Nours, and the irony of the situation doesn't escape him. Still, he's tired of living and, regardless of the killer's identity, wants to talk them into killing him, too. So he investigates, keeping things diplomatic but distant with Chita... and then James pops up and turns his world upside down.

Maybe? I don't really think so, but I wanted to write this down anyway.

Crazy theory of the day (in this comment's replies)

Spoilery thoughts about episode 7

-I wonder why Chita's aura was red at the beginning of the episode. When James saw Ken and Prae's auras before (not when they were attacking or feeding or, erm, having sexy times) they were this pale greige, so I assumed that's how 'dormant' Nour aura worked. I guess it works differently from what had been implied for 6 episodes, and I'm not a fan of changing it at this point unless there's a good reason.
- I will truly be pissed off if it turns out killerChita and assistantChita are twins or anything like that. Too tropey, too soap opera-y, etc. Even if it would explain the difference in aura colors/why assistantChita didn't SEEMINGLY go after Prae immediately despite clearly being able to move fast in his 'killer' scenes.
-When did James figure out Ken wants to die? Was it just because of the washing machine scene from 5 years ago? That didn't necessarily have to mean he's still suicidal (he is, but why does James know?). Maybe he saw something in his aura in that last scene and they'll explain it next week... Why was Ken's aura all rainbow in the last scene, anyway? Nours generally got rainbow auras when using super-speed (Tee in the forest, attacking Ken and James), using other powers (Chita burning James's father and Prae), tasting blood/getting aroused (Ken in the car, Ken in the basement). So... what was that? Finding the killer out gave him ~sexy feels~? Thanks, I hate it. XD
-Ji is going to be furious when he finds out Chita might've bit his mom a couple of years ago - or it could've been Tee, I guess. It certainly was a skinny Nour man who wasn't Ken, and we only know of those two in the town.
-Does Chita intend to turn Ji into Nour? Is he (one of) his true love(s)?
-Ken never said he didn't know Chita was a Nour. He might have known and just not have thought him capable of this murder spree, since his fire thing is apparently some sort of very rare anomaly.
-Chita's "lying" Nour ex is still gonna show up, at least in flashbacks, right? What was the lie about? Is he also capable of killing other Nours? Did he turn Chita or get turned by him? Is there any chance he's one of the characters we already know - say, Rain? 8D Or worse, Ken? That would explain why Ken is cold to him but never seemed to think he was a big threat...
-I wish James had looked at Nin and Rain's auras; sure, he wouldn't have seen the rainbow Nour thing anyway since even if they are Nour, they weren't feeding or using their powers (supposing that's how it works?!) but he might've seen the greige dormant Nour aura, and we'd know. Or not, sinceChita's red aura messed this all up.
-Why did Chita kill James's father? Was he a Nour, and thus the James half-nour-who-has-powers theory is right? Was he a human who knew too much about Nours? Was he a danger to Chita? What on Earth was that about? RN, that's what I'm most interested in.

That's a possibility.
