I still don't know the secret of the house lady .. dose anyone get it ??
I think of her of some sort of god lmao, she's always there and listening and happily living that glamorous life of her own downstairs and she seems like a distant guardian. Belle Epoque wouldn't have happened without her too
Such a relatable, refreshing, and amazing drama. I was so sad to leave the characters I fell in love with in the last episode, I wanted to grow with them and it made my heart break :(

Honestly, the thing that made me happiest this episode was the five-second shot of what was underneath the killer’s murder outfit, and it was sparks and nothingness. The killer is not a person, and that just cranks up the level of difficulty by an order of magnitude on achieving a happy ending, if a happy ending is even possible. How can you arrest or put on trial or kill or even stop a murderous force? What are the victory conditions for this situation?
What of the things that struck me most about this episode was the focus on mirrored stories. How Chul tossed the gun and then paused and smiled when he realized the bitter irony of what he had just done, how his own actions had so closely paralleled the murders of his family. How he returned to the Han River Bridge to die when he could have committed suicide any other way, because that’s how Seung-moo originally tried to kill him. How even Seung-moo, once he recovered, realized that Chul could have definitely killed him but instead gave him a chance to survive his anger. (Seung-moo decided to let Chul save himself that first time on the bridge.) How Seung-moo tried to pay that back, to erase “The End,” but that his connection to W was over.
How all those mirrored stories led into a discussion of storytelling itself. How Yeon-joo wondered if fictional worlds got to move on after the ending, or if they were frozen in that moment of happily ever.
I’ve been on the fence about whether or not I was going to believe the theory that Yeon-joo was the original artist for Chul, especially after declaration that Chul was basically Seung-moo’s power fantasy. That brief scene we saw could have been at any point early on in W’s run, so Yeon-joo could have been drawing dad’s character. But what finally converted me was that our first glimpse of the police boat speeding toward the bridge was when Yeon-joo came up with the idea–not when Soo-bong drew it.
Seung-moo has lost his connection to W. Yeon-joo has realized hers. That smile on her face when she realized she was back in prison? That was glorious.
And I’ll admit to cracking up when Chul woke up in his bed in the classic it-was-all-just-a-dream sudden wakefulness. Apparently the best way to continue the comic was to retcon everything after Chul stepped into the real world, which means Yeon-joo is still in prison and the most likely suspect for Chul’s stabbing, according to the police. And it means that the little sidestep we had into the prosecutor’s storyline at the start of episode five is likely our way to draw him into the current plot.
I loved the ending scene of episode 14. There was so much emotion in Yoo Jung's eyes when Seol said that she understood…
For me, she shouldn't have hugged him but confronted him in a caring way that encouraging violence is not right. We've seen him be manipulative and she hasn't done anything but enable that behavior. Whether his intentions were good or not, he manipulated someone's mentality and tampered with their future...
ending of ep 14 Jung's eyes when he saw seol was like: seol ah it's not what you think, but then seol huged her.…
but to be honest, I don't think she should've hugged him at that moment... Instead she should've just confronted him about it instead of enabling him to do violence...
In Ho's cockiness cost him his hand but at the same time, I found that it really bad when Jung just stood there and didn't do anything about it. It all started from a misunderstanding but I feel like it would've been better for Jung to help In Ho when he was getting beat and then confront him about it so that they would understand each other better... although I'm not particularly a Jung x Seol shipper nor do I really like Jung at all I'm still trying to figure him out and understand his situation.
