Yet to watch it.. Hope subs are done. Ahh.. this is going to be so hard..

I’ll be back late tonight to see what people thought. I know it’s going to be sad again.

I’m saving the last 4 eps to binge all at once. I saw some of the comments and realized I was going to have a hard time stopping once I started. So I’ll chime in at the end. <3

I should have been dead at least a couple dozen times with that last statement! Lol.

It was so hard watching An struggling in this episode. I really hope for his sake that SM isn’t responsible for the apartment arson and murder. Maybe GT really was the culprit and by the time he set up everything in the flat including the corpse, SM’s mother had already escaped. But it still seems like he’s the vip client. So there’s a high chance that he ordered the murders of the identity theft victims.

My hunches are usually wrong, but I feel like SM has kept GT at yeongseong apartment. That’s where everything started for An and JI, and maybe SM wants to prove something to GT, by making An save him. Despite him and SM to some extent being responsible for An’s tragedy. I don’t know what SM wishes to achieve though. Or maybe he’s kept him at the same place where SM was confined briefly before he came to live at yeongseong apartment, the one which we saw in the earlier episodes.

Right now sung mo’s idea of justice seems to be outside that of the law. The ending scene above all showed how much sung mo thinks the law is incompetent and useless. I don’t think he did the apartment murders but i also don’t think he feels the need to prove it in front of the police. I think he came to the station to get his mother, give Ahn more clues by telling him to return his mother’s ring to her and also chiefly out of respect for JiSoo. She’s proof that there might be a hope of social justice after all but he’s not gonna make it easy for them.

I don’t think he’s killed his KGT yet but Ahn will have to decipher sung mo’s memories to save him before he dies from a wound infection. Right now it looks like sung mo is selectively choosing which memories to show so let’s see how that goes.

Unfortunately, I don’t see a happy ending for sung mo in this show. He feels so out of place and that worsened after JiSoo died. I always thought she would be his happy ending because she was so bright, it would have infected him after everything was done. But now, everything seems so moody.

Personally i’ve decided to let the thriller and mystery part of this show unravel by itself. No more guesswork. I don’t know if its because i’m just so tired from all the sadness and crying. JiSoo really was a sunflower. You don’t notice until she’s gone and suddenly everything loses its brightness. I kept thinking of how if she had been there maybe sung mo and ahn confrontation would have been better because it’s always been three of them for a long time. Like she said in one of the earlier episodes “Ahn is my brother and he’s also your brother even tho all three of us are unrelated.”

Daebong and So hyun will have their scene later. Right now their problems seem too small compared to the current theme of the show. Even the romance between Ahn and JaeIn has been somewhat put on a standstill. The only romance(?) that’s moving indirectly is that of sungmo and JiSoo and that’s because theirs is an epitome of sadness and regrets which I must say is the current theme of the show.

That Photobooth scene was cruel. They were literally rubbing it in our faces how much potential was lost for both sung mo and JiSoo’s happiness.

The Rubik’s cube epilogue showed that Hyung is operating from a big picture, I just don’t know what it is. I don’t know why he’s so set on Ahn saving GT but he was purposely trying to anger Ahn during the interrogation. He kept mentioning that psychometry is not admissible in court, but I think part of his plan is to legitimize psychometry through Ahn and this case.

I don’t think he know what he is doing himself, what his endgame is, was his plan to ride into sunset with his mother in tow? Then why he didn’t stop Ahn when he and Jae In get to close to the truth, what’s the point in this. How he even want to make Ahn to trust him again, or is he don’t plan to get out of it alive? All this darkness dominating this week episode is in stark contrast with the previous episodes it’s hard to fathom any happy ending coming from this.

P.S I hate, really hate when writers pull the scenes like at the end episode, when one of the characters hurt other feelings “for their own good” or similar bs, it’s so abusive and to close to DV to be used as a plot device, imho.

Originally, I was thinking of the first ep as Ahn’s ‘origin story’. Every superhero has some tragic past that somehow resulted in them getting powers. But now I feel like the whole show is his origin story. He got his power in the first ep but now he learned how to controll it. And at this point, I think we’ll see him figure out what he should do with his powers and how he can use them to help people. He’s already realizing that just because he saw something in one of his visions, it isn’t necessarily helpful since that sort of evidence isn’t admissible in court. I hope we see him come through this second tragedy in his life with a strong purpose for using his powers.
I think Ahn can read SM now because his powers have increased. Even before SM had stopped taking his meds, Ahn was able to read bits of memories.
I am also so confused about why SM tamed Ahn. I hope we get good answers next week.

Yeah I think it’s a two-way street as to why Ahn can perform psychometry on sung mo. Ahn got a boost cuz his desperation increased by 300% lol. In the psychometry book sung mo had before he gave Jaein, he noted that Ahn’s psychometry improved whenever he was desperate. When he confronted KGT in the tunnel. He was desperate to catch the guy that stabbed his noona and now that he saw some things he couldn’t understand, he is desperate to solve the mysteries around his hyung, his parent’s death and all the murders
.
Sung mo himself is now on edge. Yeah he is still calculating and devising plans but his emotions are no longer under control. You can tell by how much we see him cry this past two eps. Emotionally surpressed sung mo is gone. I almost thought he was back at the police station when he was being a jerk but the tear he dropped when he mentioned JiSoo immediately gave him away. He is no longer taking his pills so his anger is at a 1000 max. This I think also makes it easier for Ahn to read him since he’s always been a character with a strong emotional wall that sadly came crashing so fast and so bitterly.

Am really hoping the writer doesnt go too dark because poor Ahn has been heart broken enough. Yeah I agree that it helps to understand some of the writting decisions if you think of it as LeeAhn’s story. I just hope the writer isnt doing a goblin concept where he becomes lonely and powerful psychometricist LeeAhn.

Gurl what u said about sung mo protecting JiSoo is on point. I hadn’t even thought about it in that way yet. Unfortunately for me thinking about this couple in general makes my heart break. With regards to these two, I feel like I signed up on a heavy melodrama about two tragic lovers with a twisted fate. It’s funny how poignant their story is to me at least when they didnt even have enough scenes together.

I hope so too 💚

I don’t want to be misty-ied!!
I don’t think the show is going there.

None of us were prepared *hugs* 💚
Don’t worry, there is more cuteness coming 💚
