Okay, so I’ll admit – I really thought Deputy Chief Lee was the Eraser and I’ve been shaking my fist at him for most of the show. The show got me good. I half-didn’t believe it when D.C. Lee was revealed not to be the Eraser. I’m usually good at guessing these things so props to the show for proving me wrong.
But! They won’t get me twice. The Fire Police Chief (FPC from now on) is supposedly the Eraser. Sure he has a motive and maybe the means but he’s missing one important ingredient: youth. What’s age got to do with it, you say? Well, everything. Are you gonna tell me that grandpa killed all those people? (remember so far Eraser has done a lot of stunts: he’s jumped from a second-story window, jumped from the roof of a building and then fallen halfway, carried a pretty hefty looking firefighter…)
Also, there’s been no proof of his powers yet. The only proof of identity we’ve seen is that heavy coat and that mask (Prop’s to the actors btw – that’s gotta be uncomfortable).
Another thing: There’s just no conflict with Dong Baek. I see no reason why FPC would hate Dong Baek to the point of killing people he has touched and pointing him out as the reason for the murders.
All of this just says the Eraser is someone else not necessarily a woman though.
And so, the decisive factor: when Eraser and Dong Baek have their little chat on the rooftop, Eraser’s voice is disguised but it’s easy to tell that it’s a female voice. It’s so obvious I kinda want to think it’s another false lead but I don’t think the show is that slick. Also, Memorist doesn’t seem like the type to go the typical male villain route.
Now that’s said I have a suspect: the NIS lady that goes around lying about her identity. What is she really here for? Why is she lying? There are only two episodes left and so much to wrap up so I don’t think they can introduce a completely new character and give them enough credibility to be the villain. I smell an “in hopes of a season two” finish though. I’d be quite disappointed if they go the Vagabond route but I honestly don’t see the story ending anytime soon.
Anyway, that’s it for now. I felt like I had to at least debate with myself here rather than with the air in the room 😅

It’s 12:43 AM and I’m here to defend my theory that The Eraser is a woman.
