I think so 🙈
Think they mentioned it while introducing the haunted house. I wasn't really focussing on that scene since i didn't think it would be important😅😅😅

I could be wrong though🙈

You just made me realize that i have to watch the first 2 episodes again - totally forgot about the orphanage!

True! He might have some unresolved business connected to the school ground though- i mean the way he told the archery coach that he was too late suggests there's more to the story. They didn't really dwelve into the history behind the haunted house or school right?

It would explain why the house is a magnet for evil spirits. Bong Su also did seem a tad too obsessed about the school which is pretty much close to the school. Like, how he told the archery coach that he was too late? There seems to be a link🙊

Probably killed on action/ tortured and executed by the otherside? It would explain why someone so young would hold so much animousity even in death.

Yesss! Clearly the dpirit didn't get a chance to "live" his youth as an ordinary teen so that too could be a factor.

Give it till episode 3 may be to decide? It gets really better from ep 3 onwards. Fair warning though, if you aren’t into fantasy/ chill dramas that involve High School students (and HS emotions), this might not be your type. The ML’s personality may seem annoying at first but once you get his backstory it’s understandable.

IKR?! Could it be that since the shaman was weak, he was the best she could summon?

Curious to know Bong Su’s backstory. The flashback suggests that he wasn’t really evil even if he probably killed people while he was alive (I mean at least it wasn’t out of malice/ he looked young enough to have been forced into it). Quite the plot twist ngl!

Ji Ho’s human amulet no longer works/ the robot talisman was destroyed after GU got possessed. My guess is that the reason why Seong Ha’s lip balm talisman is still working is because GU loves her enough to keep it still active.

Give Reina time- Japanese psycho SFLs generally have no limits compared to other countires😅😅😅

They probably won't go for the suicide route since in the webtoon there wasn't a car accident right? I vaguely recall like the ML drowned himself in the sea 😅

Then again, Tomoya's character died from a "self inflicted" car accident in the webtoon- so does that count as suicide even if he didn't tamper with the brakes with suicide in mind? Since he drove the car knowing that the breaks didn't work (can't remember if he was drunk at the time though now)

Any idea how the lite novel handled his death? It's interesting that both dramas chose to end Wataru's life with a car accident when it's not part of the webtoon unless the webtoon changed his narrative from the original🙈

It was suicide according to the webtoon but in it, he didn't take Jee Won (Misa)'s ashes if i remember correctly.

Basically right after the funeral, he "walked into" the sea. In the kdrama, it was a fatal car accident but again i can't recall if he took her ashes with him.

Ideally Tomoya is supposed to die from a car accident if they follow the webtoon, so he should be Wataru's replacement. I think Tomoya's mum replaced Misa's death (at least in the webtoon if i remember correctly).

Not sure how it went in the lite novel though so if it's different, they might take inspiration from that too.

Yes

Yess!!! I was actually curious about the animal change too so i did a little reading. Turns out 🐢 in japanese culture signify longevity and immortality - pretty on theme with MMH's "must outlive your destiny" concept🤭

It was kind of funny how Misa actually shood away a cat from the pond 😹

I don't think she really went for a makeover in this version- more like Misa finally embraced her own true style albeit with a revenge haircut- something that suits her personality? Same goes with the Director, unlike in the original, they didn't give him a makeover arc either.

Yes, but not many are familiar with the webtoon so I've noticed some refer to it as a remake- hence the comparison 😊

The kdrama actually follows the webtoon more closely than the jdrama (which i'm grateful for). Like even the use of a 🐢 instead of a 🐈‍⬛️ since Japanese culture entwines 🐢 with immortality and longevity which is perfectly on theme with MMH😊

Go for it! I felt the same too at first but I just binged all 6 episodes at once today🙈

What I love about the Jdrama version is that they have made quite a lot of changes (i mean as opposed to the kdrama which was similar to the webtoon for the most part) but the differences actually make the story feel less like a "copy" while still maintaining enough suspense that can still keep you curious.

The outcomes are the same since they do stick to the original plot outcomes so you aren't always taken by surprise BUT at the same time it's fun connecting the dots.

I just LOVE how this version doesn't really feel like a re-make. This Jdrama feels like an original while still managing to retain the essence of the source ♥️

Subbed episodes are available now :)
