Don't Call it Mystery Episode 10
0 people found this review helpful
this was a bittersweet ep - poor Totono the sec he start opening his heart to someone, they "disappear" on him... as is here it wasn't even hinted on the fact that he was abused or an orphan like in the manga so this ep's revelation would be startling. but think anyone with his insight given how young he is - isn't only down to smart's, but first hand knowledge at times and the ability to read the "room" to survive (most abused kids learn this early on, sad fact but it is what it is...) so was really glad Furomitsu came through at the end. think she the 1st FL to date, that didn't get butthurt that the ML didn't notice her or chose the devious route. she was good from start to finish - so glad Totono has started to open up and maybe he will notice that Ikemoto is also a friend. **************************************************************************************************************but have to add the lack of physical contact bothered me - i know it isn't something Japanese do, but a hand on the shoulder especially from Prof Amatatsu was needed, cause Totono seemed so alone it was heart breaking. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Raika or Chiyako was a good ending, even though it didn't feel that way (the little i know about Dissociative identity disorder, it takes ages for the alter personalities to leave). i get that as the major threat (the father) aint around, so supposedly Chiyako is safe. but that's not a given - idk guess if she is in danger again the personalities that "disappeared" can reappear?!? donno if that's how it works - just know that it's almost impossible to reach this stage in just a few yrs. but lets go with it, cause that's how the plot goes - so happy for her.

so much is going on and i was sure this gonna be Kim Do Jin and Lee Hyun Woo romance development, but nope - Han Ji Seok in the house (which i guess is in the description) but this so freakin short, like what - how - why - when... aish *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this complex plot needs more time ugh whatever... i know - it is what it is. but then little wonder we get the ending's we get **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but back to the ep, Ji Seok started off stalker-boy creeper, no matter who ur crushing on - if ur not in a relationship - watching them sleep is iffy, but touching them while they sleeping - stop and back the frack up. just no! so the rest that followed was a bit tainted with the initial weird start. ****************************************************************************************************************************************after that - the scene in the locker room, and i'm like "is everyone in-love/infatuated/hot for Hyun Woo?!".... ********************but the confession was endearing, little wonder Hyun Woo was flustered enough not to know what to do (as Ji Seok did lie to him, more or less forcing him into letting Ji Seok sleep over at his place). would say time will tell, but there No time for this to develop - cause the end goal of this drama is Hyun Woo and Do Jin - or maybe not anymore - i really donno what's what and how this gonna end....

glad i was wrong in the previous ep - as is Kunou losing a maternal figure, was very hard for him. so glad her husband will always be around for him to turn too. and even though i found Takakatsu weird - borderline suspicious, i would never fathom what he was getting up to. u could say guilt was the cause of his mental-break. but dude what a reach, cause of one mistake he more or less caused how many deaths?!? (so think it's not just guilt, but the fact that he was the only caretaker of both his senile parents, that's kinda hell... little wonder he broke). ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Furomitsu is adorable - keep saying this, but she really is. i love that she keeps trying to better herself, and that she doesn't act the damsel in distress, but wants to protect others - Kunou in this case. also love how hyper she gets, let alone how ecstatic she is when around him. really wish they end up together, even though doubt that is how this drama gonna play out. pity they kinda perfect adorably so *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Rika - last ep when she mentioned her sister Chiyako idk why, had a feeling she doesn't exist. but didn't see the revelation we got in this ep. not that astounding, her mentioning an abusive parent and turning to the "angel". but now u get her making the request without Chiyako knowledge. also her "going away" by spring, gets a different meaning. maybe just the personality will disappear as Chiyako is safe and not in need of Rika to safe-guard her, time will tell.

well this was different.. which for now idk to say if that's good or bad. the start confused me - watched anime from time to time but wasn't looking for an anime, when clicked and it kept going on for a while. so glad that was just the entro to the ep... also that and most of the 1st ep is basically the description in a nutshell. now we have to wait and see the romance develop. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the plot is new but K-BL's unlike Thai ones, don't revolve around the same theme, just hope this plot is thought out and the end won't be a rush-job **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ep wise, cute guy's all around and almost all the mains newbies - this their first project - hope it's a success

Aish what a place to stop. i have a feeling Amatatsu is the one that murdered his wife, but i hope i'm wrong cause Kunou saw both husband an wife as important parental figures (and at least in the manga we know he is an orphan, here he mentioned parents so idk..) and he is sad enough with the loss of one, knowing the other one is a bad-guy and at fault, might really break him. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************Furomitsu is adorable and the way she jumped out of the car, really wish she stop, stopping short and flirt more with Kunou (even though with his personality idk how he will react, might run the other way terrified) but her always thinking about Raika and getting discouraged is saddening to view. especially when neither party is interested or involved romantically with the other. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************mentioning Raika ugh this female with that code carp, anyone but Kunou would throw that book at her (yes talking about myself - i would), she can use words and speak normally so why - just cause

this was just sad and that's the main reason i steer clear of anything to do with child-abuse, well children and animal's, cause they so vulnerable and easy target's. no matter the conclusion it never takes away the bone deep sorrow that's left behind after viewing such content - well in my case. ****************************************************************************************from the previous ep there has been this underlining infuriation at the injustice going on and yeah both Kaneto and Roku r in the wrong. But when this started, they were both kids (who tend to view the world in black and white). they just knew that kids like them were suffering and wanted to help. they didn't think about the consequences of making children "choose", and how that would weight on their conscience. so yeah glad Roku finally got caught, but more so he can finally get help, then stop him ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also idk why we got that weird POV in the previous ep that made Kunou out to be a clueless airhead. but i guess it was to add to the thrill factor. here there is a bit more, like him noticing everything that was off with Roku - and yet the question is Why go to meet a guy u suspect isn't "all there" without some sort of back up. not really smart even though it turned out alright. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also Raika more or less told Kunou he had to solve the case, cause she was endanger or gonna die - thought she was gonna be a victim. but the conclusion was i guess, i'm sick i'ma die - so help me find out what happened to my "savior"?!? but she an enigma so whatever -

have to say i'm confused, yeah Long Jie alive and healthy - but the revelation that Jiang Jiang freaking ran him over - while Ren Yu even gave his license plate number, to show that he wasn't making sh*t up. and it all amounted to nothing? really?!? get Ren Yu doesn't "get" how bad that "accident" really was - but he get's life and death - death being the not good option. so why he been trivializing it idk.. now the whole class just brushes it over - even Long Jie and his best-buds and i'm sitting here so confused, like why?!? what is the writer director thinking??? not one student thought it should be a good idea to report to a teacher, let alone the cops??? ugh ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************and what anger's me more, is that Jiang Jiang has turn "evil master mind" why?!? he always trying to "get at" Long Jie? if i accidently ran over someone and they survived. i would thank my lucky stars, that i got away and i would steer clear of the individual - not start plotting their down-fall at every turn - so not getting the reasoning behind this plot... so much so it's taking away from the enjoyment at the lighter bits.

and that's all folks... not a boring moment - great acting, good plot - not always easy to stomach, but great character's made "u" keep coming back for more. but cause of the subject matter (for me) this was more then enough - as it wasn't easy being confronted by how evil humans can get, let alone what they can do to other's without a second thought.so yeah this was a great watch, but i donno if i will rewatch this anytime soon - if ever (but it goes without saying that if there is a 2nd season - i will be back ) *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************forgot to mention in the previous ep, that was surprised and worried seeing Detective Park (from the start of the season) make a "come back". but considering the 180 his character has done, let alone how warmly Song treated him, i guess u could say he redeemed himself and it was a nice, coming a full circle. ****************************************************************************so sad, wont be seeing the good-guys that made this show a joy, but also kinda relieved - cause the psycho's and everything they "go up to" was depressing, saddening - heck demoralizing to watch. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - only me wondering what Woo Ho Sung did to those 2 dogs he had caged?!?

aish what a emotional roller coaster this ep was, and knew that the victim's mother (from the 1st ep) would be the one to remind Song why he can't give-up on his job. also hearing him admit that he was worried that he would turn into a monster, cause he was around then so much was sweet. as it goes to show what a good person he really is. but that's also the reason i never thought for a sec, he would turn. **********************************************************************************************people who r sure of themselves r the ones that tend to "fall", the ones that constantly second guess themselves and worry about, if they might make a mistake - indicating a conscience, will never turn. ********************************************************************************************the one thing these psycho's have in common is that they lack conscience - they can't empathize with their victim's and so can do whatever... ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also have to say i really love Song's mother - seen her in other drama's and of course there a ton of other actresses that were great in matriarchal roles - but she has this silent powerful presence - where only with her facial expressions, u "get" how much she loves, cares and worries about her son, while also being Very proud of how he has turned out. really great acting - not there is a lack thereof in this drama, that's why we all so hooked - pity it's coming to an end.

put of watching this ep, cause i read all the comments mentioning Song's breakdown. and even though i knew it was coming (considering how he was "cracking" in the previous ep) wasn't ready to view it. so even though it was bad, wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. this was a Very dark, morbid ep and yet it was really good (if u get what i mean).also found it ironic that i "hurt" at Nam Ki Tae's childhood trauma and life-story in general. cause in-spite of all the depraved psycho's we've seen to date, he is the one - that really got under my skin - like hated him with a vengeance. so feeling any compassion for him - didn't think i would have it in me - of course that feeling evaporated the sec he went on describing his addiction/enjoyment in killing etc.. obvious dude is nuts, but also reaffirms what sick, pathetic nobody he is - cause in all his murder's, he never went looking for the guys that hurt him or other's like them, but Always search for "easy" weaker victim's. really sickening having to sit there - remain calm and let him go on and on... *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the reporter deserved to get his ass beat - he and his ilk deserve worse. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the new psycho - only me who will play deaf and dumb especially when i'm all alone at night, at a bus stop and not be able to help strangers? so getting into a stranger's car pssh not on ur life. also that scene for whatever reason, reminded me of "I Saw The Devil" is this case connected to that movie's plot? (even though that movie isn't based on real life - that i know, so idk just a feeling ).

think the preview was misleading, but watching the epilogue made me that much madder at Ha Yeon. 1st off didn't think that was how he was going to react (or how the scene would play-out), though it would freak him out seeing both his sister's doppelganger and Yeon Seok. wondering WTH was going on etc... but him getting flashbacks - that he is the girl in the pic and he still confused who Yeon Seok is in-love with? really?!? yeah Yeon Seok was drunk and pointed at the sister - but he "got" with a dude cause he knows the soul is of the person he loves - like what else proof u need that someone loves u, regardless of what and who u r - purely loves U?!? he even recollected their past encounters, which would lead u to "get" why he reacted the way he did at the start - but nah he rather be boohooing in Jin Hyeok arms (who must be a sniffer dog) dude can smell out Ha Yeon "in need" and he comes rushing to offer a "sympathetic" shoulder ugh, such a sleazebag. but Ha Yeon is the one that's infuriating me. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************also found it ironic that not only r the same people (more or less) reincarnated into a similar situation - as Yeon Seok is a orphan (one without status) and Ha Yeon a Cabols son (and given the "don't let father find out.." and the rest of that convo between siblings, makes me wonder if "Ha Yeon aint in a relationship with Yeon Seok" - that's what he told his sister, what is he doing with Yeon Seok???). *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************next ep hope everything will be cleared up - this started out strong - great - beautiful and am dreading this gonna go the usual K-BL way (take a nose dive) - so here hoping we get a logical - fitting ending (to the start).

another worrying ending - ironically this ep (unlike what i thought at the end of the previous one) was great - yeah wanted to smack Yeon Seok and shake the dude, more the once. after u finally kissed ur soul-mate, u let someone else take him away. but he still adorable, goofy, funny and Hot so love him. **********************************************************************************n gald everything turned out fine (even though will admit, the love confession was a bit out of the blue/rushed - like i get only 2 more ep's to go... and yet if someone i just got an "i like u from" declared his love, i would be, backing the frack up and saying cool ur horses dude, too much too soon... but cause this short, will ignore this plot-hole and be happy that they "sealed the deal" ahem... ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************but i Didn't get the shocked look on the sister's face - why? pretty sure she knows her brother (as in he's gay, add to that he's crushing on Yeon Seok), isn't them being together logical? or cause she though Yeon Seok a manly man, that he would Never be mutually receptive to her brother's charms?!? ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Jin Hyeok i get, as he is totally after Ha Yeon - there no roommate/ best buddy this attached to their buddy/roommate making their life revolve around them (ridiculous) how he Always pop's up to "be there" for Ha Yeon (personally i wouldn't like this and would feel something was off) Ha Yeon doesn't come off naive. so idk what's what but there just 2 more ep's for this to unfold and the next ep is Ha Yeon finding out something that's gonna "rock the boat" in this new ship, so will wait and see

guess i've seen too many crime drama's / movies, where the main lead who is a detective, profileretc... is a bit hmmm "extra" - where he imagens or rather puts himself in the killers shoes in order to find said killer. so to me Song aint that abnormal. ****************************************************************************************************************************************i get Kook being worried not only cause he (as much as he knows about Behavior Analysis and profiling), isn't aware that this can be a side effect with some profilers - which is a double edged sword. but it is the price u pay, as a cop/detective/profiler - burn out that accrues. chalking it down to lack of knowledge on his part - plus he doesn't want the Behavior Analysis team that's final getting acknowledge and making baby steps, to get stigmatized cause Song's acting a bit "mental" - ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************personally other then how i started this comment, we also saw Song as a kid seeing that woman's dead body while he almost drowned, that wasn't a normal reactions at that time of afterwards. meaning he was never like everyone else, but marched to his own beat. think even his mother is aware of this fact and that's why she not the typical nagging mother, pushing her son to get married. she also very worried, cause she knows he's and introvert (that will always be worrisome - as how and when all the pressure that's building will "burst") as in he might get sick or die. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************feel sorry for Song cause he is under enough pressure, frustration and guilt cause of how many crime's r going unsolved. let alone interviewing all those crazies, takes a toll. now his coworker is looking at him like he crazy and he not a person that will try to explain himself (if he even knows how too).

a lot of the J-drama's that r food orientated, end up being a tour of foods and/or restaurant's that offer a unique experience. which is a great way to encourage in-house touring, especially "after" the corona. even now with the vaccination's not all people want to travel, and some can't afford to, no matter the health risk situation - here u get to see places and what they offers, even if u aint a foody - this is an interesting option to have when u want a staycation or get reacquainted with ur country. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw was wondering if his wife knew about his "me time", cause usually when u go anywhere, if u've got a family (especially with young kids) it is accepted - understood that u bring back something for them. that's a parents, children thing - so here more then once i kept thinking (particularly when it something he really enjoys) wouldn't he want to share that with his wife or children ?!?) or maybe he doesn't to start anything that will then turn an enjoyment "me time" into a chore, hmmmm wonder

wow... kinda sad seeing Song so broken, heck even usually jovial Kook was somber. but given the crazy dude they were facing, not shocking. but didn't get why they thought he would feel sorry or guilty - if he was capable of feeling empathy, he wouldn't be able to commit any of the crimes he committed - let alone be psychotic and enjoy them. heck he loved it so much, he kept studying to perfect the method - who works that hard at something they don't love and enjoy? so excepting anything but a human devoid of humanity, is wishful thinking. know it's easy to say this when ur not confronted with such a person - ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************now they got to catch the other nutter - and that commissioner so made me wanna punch the screen, i get he just wants to close cases. but he got a brain? what happens when the real killer continues killing? leave that - what happens when it comes to light that Young Chun didn't commit the additional murders, they just tagged on-to him? (idk about Korea) but in any other country his punishment would get over turned, and it would be a whole mess - how stupid thoughtless people like him reach the top idk but it's scary...
