I am watching the very part with the car and was just saying the same thing!

He recanted his confession about the killing as soon as he somehow got over from the initial shock of Eom Ji's possible death. The series didn't have to blatantly show him telling his Mom the same but it was implied that ever since then, he's been telling everyone that he didn't kill her.
In fact he had a similar conversation with his Mom when he visited her in jail but his Mom was already plotting ways to dismiss the case, and he just felt disconnected with her. He went with her fake alibi suggestion as there was no other way to get around it but he didn't know she was busy corrupting the Investigator.

You can defend her actions initially as trying to protect her son but he eventually told the truth and stated that he didn't physically kill her but might've accidentally led her to commit suicide instead. The problem is that his mother didn't trust her son and chose to continue with burying the case; showing in the end that she was really trying to protect herself.

Han Suk-kyu's performance is mind-blowing.

thank you so much, i guess i got a little confused and took it too literally 💀😭

Yes the sniffling and twitching is annoying as hell.

Woa thank you! I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. Don't worry! Different opinions happens in any show, and everyone can like what they like. I will wait till 4 episode collects before starting again, for me if the next two episodes still continue like the last two, i will feel cheated wkwkwk...

He was in jail because he was a known criminal who tried to kill ML. When he was freed, he went strait to Seoul to try again to kill Do Ha. That in itself is stalking. Then he attacked Sayon. That's assault, abduction and threats with a weapon. Then he stalked and attacked Do Ha with a knife. That's battery anb illegal possession of weapon of in public. Even if Kang Min did not have all the testimonies, he was a witness. He should have done his job.

In fact, if his superiors know that he did not catch a criminal who was repeating his initial offense, because he Kang Min listened to a civilian and that criminal later stabbed someone, he could be blamed and suspended.

He failed to do his job and the fact that he accused Do Ha of being responsible of the guy being stabbed that was just ridiculous. He shares the responsibility with him at the least.

Mok Sol Hee is one of best female leads ever. She's not weak and damsel in distress, but she's also not badass and too feisty. She's just composed but still confident. She's on the right line. I'm amazed with all the bravery she's showing since the start and how's she's willing to take risks to protect Do Ha as always. She knows how to stand on her ground. She really had a wild life as a liar hunter and she gained a lot of experience from it. She's so cool. Kim So Hyun is doing great on her role.

This is the most plausible explanation now! :D
And also if Jae Chan killed her while drunk and forgotten abt it then his brother tells him that Seung Ju is the culprit and they are just helping him out with the alibi…he might have believed it and kept asking Seung Ju for $ over the years for granted >.>
Deuk Chan trusted Seung Ju (Do Ha) caz he knew who is the killer and he kept telling his brother that Seung Ju dont owe them anything :X

Atp, Jae Chan really deserves worse than jail

I love how Solhee and Doha are a couple who didn't have a moment where they realized "oh, I like him/her". They gradually grew closer as friends and easily admitted to other people that they like each other. They naturally know their feelings and doesn't have misunderstandings. It's heartwarming to see the development of their relationship with the foundation of honesty, trust and understanding.

They've been eating out several times before they directly asked out each other for a date. They've always been straightforward and now that they're officially a couple, they're being openly lovey-dovey to each other. They're both introverts with calm personalities so it's fun to see them becoming brighter, outgoing and even showing their cute sides together. Their chemistry is wonderful and I love how they're giving positive impact to each other. They deserve their happiness especially after what they went through with their exes.

The latest episodes shows us the start of their sweet relationship, but it's just the calm before the storm. I'm nervous for the next episodes and I hope they could stay strong together.

Fun fact: Their scenes while grilling at the camp is actually bloopers but the director must've like their genuine reactions so he included it.

I understand your reasoning but I don't agree. We need to remember this wasn't a one-time thing. She was constantly weaponising self-harm and suicide in an attempt to keep him with her. It was extremely toxic and she definitely needed psychiatric help. We saw in the flashbacks that she had done this multiple times and when she does slit her wrist on the beach, he instantly runs back to cover it and make sure she's ok. But if he had stayed with her, the toxic cycle would have continued. He appeared to have stopped the bleeding and when she continued to act delusionally, THEN he walked away because he knew staying with her would only feed her delusions.
That's why he blames himself for her death. He wishes he'd done more and assumes she committed suicide after that (we still don't know what actually happened) BUT he's not to blame for it. When he left, she was ok. Her wound wasn't life-threatening and he knew that him staying with her then would have continued the self harm cycle because in her mind (hurting herself = him staying).

She was a delusional stalker and if he'd shown her any shred of attention in that moment, she would have continued to think they were together. She was abusive toward him and I totally understand why he felt sick of her shit.

You don't owe people who threaten you with suicide a relationship.

At first, there were criticism on this relationship of a high shcool girl and a man in 30s' also in Korea. But now, most don't care about it anymore because now they find this drama has a plot that needs a set of 'an under age and an adult.' The meaning of 9 is important hint in the drama and that's why it shows her life in 9, 19, and 29. On the other hand, Kim Shin has to be someone who reveals all the wisdom, divinity, agony, burden on his face(enough to wish death). Most of all, goblins(dokebi) has an image of Ajeossi not young Oppa in Korea. Those character/plot-sets make (kind of) unavoidable age gap. And I find the writer is also recognized this issue when she came up with the scenario, looking at the lines like "Ji Eun-tak with her sugar daddy" when a bully was gossiping about Eun-tak in episode 2, or the quite long scene that shows they celebrate her coming of age.

This drama's another English name is Gardian(which I think it's more proper than Goblin because dokebi is different from western goblin). Kim Shin starts as her gardian, but the way the writer slowly develops their relationship as a couple was convincing for me, so after a few episodes this love line didn't feel so wrong. And when Euntak becomes 29, they are just like a normal couple in 30s. I think someone younger actor in his 20s wouldn't be able to satisfy all those factors. Maybe that's why the writer had convinced Gong Yoo to take the role for 5 years. He is old enough to be a lonely god and young enough to be a playful goblin at the same time, and Kim Go-eun can act from teenager to adult. Although it's not a morally desirable relationship, consiquently it was necessary for the story and even helpful for making an unique chemistry in this fantasy romance.

And about the goblin and reaper, I can't agree with you more!
