To the writers of Dazzling: It was clear from the beginning you were going to tell whatever story you wanted to tell, genre and expectations and conventions be damned. That’s so much of what I loved about it, even when it meandered and seemed odd or disjointed. I could never have imagined the courageous story you were actually trying to give us. Ya’ll got guts. And my respect.
Do you want to know? It’s a huge spoiler

We find out Hye Ja actually has Alzheimer’s, and the drama is an imagined mix of her current life as an old woman, and her sad life as her younger self.
We’re not exactly sure, yet, since there are two episodes to go. We know she was in many of the places she thought she was, but that the current NJH character is some imagined form of her doctor mixed with her dead husband (it’s as heartbreaking as it sounds). Interactions with people in the senior center she visited, and her immediate family are most likely all real. (She imagined her son and daughter in law were her parents, though, and that her grandson was her brother.) We are all eagerly awaiting more details!
