There's something weird about the "Aunt." We don't see her until after JBR's brain surgery and then she shows up to help him with his memories and some light housekeeping as he convalesces. Yet, she doesn't tell him anything about his grandparents or cousins or any family stories. She's just there. Strange.
The Aunt seemed genuinely terrified when she found her grandson? at JBR's house but here she is, once again, popped in while JBR is not home to do some light housekeeping well after JBR is healed and well able to take care of himself. No terror this time, just as cool as a cucumber, calmly explaining why she's about to disappear from his life. Strange.
And then JBR finds the priest's locket and Bong Yi's grandmother's brooch. Right after his aunt has been in his house while he wasn't there. Strange.
But of course JBR must be the killer. There's more than the brooch and the locket. Why there's the scar on his arm! But we can't be positive where that scar came from, really. I mean, it could have come from fighting Bong Yi in the church, but then it could have come from somewhere else. There are those pictures in the cellar...but, then again, Yohan had pictures in his basement too.
I'm not saying that JBR isn't the killer. I'm saying that if the screenwriter wanted to lead us down the primrose path, all the things listed above could simply be another fake-out to make us think JBR is the killer. We've been misled so much and so long. None of the characters or even actions that we believe we see are reliable, especially at the end of the episodes and in the previews. Hedge your bets.
There is something very strange about the "aunt." Who is she really? We don't even see her until after JBR's surgery, then she shows up all caring to help him with his housekeeping and memories, but she doesn't introduce him to any other members of his family. Are there no grandparents? No cousins? No pictures of grandparents or other relatives? No stories about family? Strange.
The aunt seems absolutely terrified when she finds her grandson in the house with JBR, yet there she is again in his house doing some light housekeeping. JBR is completely healed now and could take care of any light housekeeping himself. Or since he drives a fancy car and uses a $1200 cell phone he could probably hire someone to do some light housekeeping if that's what he needs. Oddly, enough, right after his aunt is in his house he finds the locket from the priest and the brooch from Bong Yi's grandmother. Strange.
I'm not saying that JBR didn't have these things from killing these people. I'm not saying he isn't the killer. I'm saying that if the screenwriter wants to lead us down another primrose path her putting the aunt in the house prior to JBR finding the brooch and locket would make it easier for her to give us another fake-out. We see a scar on JBR's arm, but that could have come from anywhere. We see him in a cellar with pictures of the victims. Well, Yohan had a basement with pictures. Exactly what is going on? Are we being misled again?
At this point the end of each episode sends us on a merry goose chase so we never know what to believe. The same with the previews. So far nothing and no one in this series is reliable. You might want to hedge your bets.
I think what I like the most about this drama so far is that some characters aren't so foolishly righteous and…
That's the whole premise of the show. If we know that a baby has a genetic 99% chance of being a psychopath (and possibly a serial killer or someone who would cause great loss of life), is it society's duty to kill that baby? When is killing okay?
Making detective Shin the serial killer will sound so much like those cheap movie thrillers that I enjoy watching,…
What if Yo Han is Jae Min (the boy who Jae Hoon tried to kill)? What if Jae Hoon killed his mother (adoptive?), his stepfather and his sister, but Jae Min survived and Ji-un adopted him and raised him out of guilt? Just spit-balling here.
Hong Joo knows that BR killed the child abuser and will she be the one to find Bareum at the crime scene? Because…
Like mice in a maze, this is an experiment. When is it okay to kill? Is it never okay to kill? Is it okay to kill a murderer? What about a rapist? What about an unborn child who has a 99% chance of being a violent psychopath killer? Serial killers believe they have the right to kill regardless. Most of us believe we have a right to kill pursuant to circumstances.
I hate to see a great show turn into this. While I realize JBR is a very unreliable narrator, these fake-outs are ruining the show. First we have JBR attacking KMC and then we find out that it isn't KMC's head JBR is bashing in with a rock but his own hand. Okay. We'll take that. Once. But then there's another episode when you have two more fake-outs? JBR isn't killing the little boy, he's killing the cat. He isn't beating OBY to death, he's beating the child rapist to death. Let's not forget the fake-out of Mr. Lee's death. This along with the overuse of orphans (children with mysterious backgrounds) really is murdering this show. Such a shame. I think it's taking a toll on the actors as well. It's like they've started sleep walking through their performances at this point. Even JBR looks perpetually perplexed.
