It’s time to face the music in this final chapter as Shin-woo chases after the answers to the questions that plague him. The truth rears its ugly head and rams into the stone wall of defense Shin-woo has built for himself. Learning who the true enemy is in this battle is only just the beginning of the frightening and painful journey towards healing. Perhaps it’s not too late to come back from the brink and realize that the greatest lesson of all is learning how to love.

Sirius ended its short and sweet run with a 2.9% in ratings.

More revelations spill out in this episode as the brothers face new challenges ahead. A baddie like Boss Go is none to be trifled with as the show sets itself up for a final showdown. We learn even more about Eun-chang and Shin-woo now that their strings are somewhat cut from the smiling devil, giving them ammunition and armor for what’s to come.

Ratings fell for Episode 3 to 2.7% but it doesn’t detract from the awesome kickass that is this series.

So the game begins and pieces are set into motion. Their identities now switched, old grudges bubble just under the surface while new misunderstandings take root. The brothers soon find themselves as marionettes caught up in the intricate web of the puppeteer’s strings. Pulling at one string tugs at another and now there’s no way that either twin can step away unscathed.

From where we’re standing, there’s no way to tell just how deep and dark this rabbit hole is.

Two brothers, both alike in vanity. In fair Seoul where we lay this majestic scene. Where ancient grudge breaks into new rivalry. Where civil blood make civil hands unclean.

KBS kicked off its third season of its Drama Special anthology series this year with suspense thriller Sirius. Garnering critical acclaim for its directing, writing, and acting, the premiere drew in an impressive 3.8% in ratings for its midnight timeslot. And I am happy to report that the show is totally kickass with its captivating visuals, tightly written story, and characters that draw you into their mysterious and mind-boggling world.

Who knew that identical twins could be so eerily similar and yet so starkly different from one another?
