    Good grief!!! Who was it? and what is episode 21 all about? It just keeps giving me heart attacks.

      Episode 21 is the special which is the cast talking about the show but also has an alternate ending. Not sure if I want to see it or not as I was pretty satisfied with that ending.

        Yeah, I might just skip to the alternate ending part.

        @beffels Do you know where that final special episode will be available for viewing? I didn’t see anything on my usual drama site.

          It’s in Viki in my region at least but I don’t know if it’s fully subbed yet. May also be on Viu – they’ve had all the other specials but have had slightly different names

          21 and 22 are on Viki in my region. I’ve started to watch 21 and it’s the actors talking about their roles, but I’ve only just started it. I would like to know what that ending meant. It looked to me like the operations were still going on. Someone is toying with the part of the brain that deals with emotions. I wonder if the brain has a part that is characteristic of psychopathology? I thought it was about DNA. Also this world in which anyone carrying the gene has an abortion: I wonder if that makes a difference to society? The message I got from the drama was once the child was told that God had heard him, he could cry and he was therefore free to not be a monster. So for me that meant being a psychopath was as much about what people expected than anything else. Did anyone else get that message?

            From what I gathered, some doctor was watching the video recording of Head Hunter’s brain surgery. Whether that doctor was performing the surgery on our unknown subject for good or bad intentions remains a mystery.

            The whole psychopathy question: what the politician behind Oz ignored is the fact that most so-called psychopaths’ are not serial killers/predators. Some might even do work–whether motivated by self interests or not–that might even benefit mankind.

            While Ba-reum was ultimately responsible for his actions, I do believe that those around him ultimately helped pave the way for the path he took. His mother’s fear towards her own child became a self-fulfilling prophecy. What might have happened if she had not abandoned him/if she had not already condemned him before he was even born? What might have happened had Oz not manipulated events from behind the scene?

            I didn’t like that part about aborting children with the psychopath gene. The public was high on emotions and were allowed to vote on something so controversial and problematic (think about how the excuse of doing the greater good could be used to justify further losses of freedom, personal choice, etc.). This is opening a Pandora’s box.

          @beffels I guess I won’t be able to see it for now. If you watch it, would you might sharing the alternate ending with me?

            Evil OZ lady talks to the new President (in prison). She blackmails him that his granddaughter has the psycho gene and he destroyed the test results – she asks for a pardon in return for not disclosing this.

            Later, the president is at home and an underling comes in and tells him it’s been done. His wife overhears and later asks tearfully if he pardoned her because he couldn’t do it (presumably have her killed) in prison.
            The granddaughter is shown cutely playing with soft toys, but behind the furniture a toy has had its head ripped off and stuffing everywhere.

            Then there’s a scene of Bong Yi chatting to the kid detective (who is recovering well) and the girl she saved before a big happy family lunch with Hong Joo and her family, and Dong Koo and his family. Moo Chi arrives to drop off Jae Hee (is that her name? the sister who didn’t die in the fire) and sees Yo Han’s son, who asks if he was his dad’s friend. Moo Chi says no, he’s someone who owes his dad a lot.

            While Moo Chi drives his egg truck around his police buddies call him and try to lure him back to the force but he says he’s not going back, he’s found his calling and starts advertising the eggs over the loud hailer.

            Then the scene of old and young Ba Reum in the church, Moo Chi putting in the wooden grave marker as he asks did the Almighty grant him emotions to punish him or save him? Moo Chi drives away, fade to black.

            Then I think would be the post credits scene – Daniel Lee in dark asks himself, did Han Seo Joon not know he had failed and that he saved his son knowing he’d die shortly after the transplant?

            Then a mouse cage with dead mouse in is thrown outside in rain; fade to black. Then as fade back to light and now the cage is open and empty.

            @peridot I think they went with the right ending.

      The face looked like Yo-han’s, but that wouldn’t have made sense.

      I just found out that the patient in the post-credit scene was played by an idol named Kim Yo-han.
