Lol

I think she dies and he gets taken back to NK where he is trialled and sentenced to prison.
But the show might also have a happy ending. Who knows!🤷‍♀️

I thought so.

I just don't understand why Kang Mo is still alive? He should be dead since episode 4.
At this point, for me the biggest tension is waiting to see if he finally dies in the most recent episode or not.

I feel like she is virginal archetype. She has no principals, just heart eyes. She saved Sooho when she thought he was a student protestor, then she helped kang mo even though he is an ANSP agent, and now if she ends up helping Sooho again, that means she just does whatever a person with a penis tells her to do regardless of them being a handsome student intellectual, a torturer or an enemy spy. That comes across as a very virginal trait to me.
I've been irritated by her actions for a while now but now I feel more at ease with her because she's just a loose canon! No point in finding logic in her actions.
Sooho is a spy. I feel that's the beginning and end of him. It's a complicated concept in itself but there's not much I can really say about him other than that. Yes, it has all those duty/heart conflict and being good in bad situations but then there are all these characters running around too who just disrupt the flow of his angsty character arc! I could care less about the wives, for example. Or like Kang Mo is such a useless foil.

We were shown today that the gun was empty all along. He was bluffing the whole time.

I don't trust my own opinions about soo hoo at all. I'm just not sure if I am feeling sorry because it's Jung Hae-In or because the character is actually good.😶
I actually like Young Ro going the manipulative way because so far she was the only character who seemed all good in a white lotus way but now she's grey and ambiguous like everyone else.
At this point I'm not really holding out a candle for a sweet or even plausible romance...I just wanna get out of that dorm. I feel like we're held hostage there too!

All I could think about during that hug was, "damn, They must both stink like sweat right now!"

Han Joo Won is truly an immature child. He's so naive and really sees everything so simply.

Nooooooooooooooooo😭😭😭😭

I really like Lee Dong Shik. He's just such a fun character to watch.

I thought the synopsis sounded like The Night of. Turns out it's based on the same story as that show!

Me too. I don't understand what's happening at all!

I really dislike him too.

Such a helpful list, thank you!
If you would like to add, Inspector Koo has a side character who is heavily implied to be gay (he is and is even in a relationship with another guy, but they don't say the word explicitly).

I hope she'll get more main character roles. She's very good.

Very interesting points.
As you mentioned, the writer seems to have had big ambitions of portraying ambiguous characters with questionable morals and then setting up the viewer to decide who is the one they will root for. However, I think for these narratives to work, the characters require a certain amount of charisma that unfortunately, the mostly bleak and moody acting of everyone does not deliver on.
So now the writer is slowly revealing that maybe the situation is not as grey as we initially thought and certain characters are definitely better than the others.

Yes, the show shot itself in the foot by placing the show in the 80s. It doesn't really add anything to the show other than opening painful wounds and bringing up controversy.
The main plot is political fallacy, romeo and juliet romance, and fatal ambition. They could set this any time between 1954 to present day. It would be the same.

I understand. I'm not sure if I'll finish watching it either.

what a mood!
