WHAT THE — how is this man a district attorney again??? As far as I’m concerned, he deserves to rot in jail?? I’m pretty sure what he just did could be construed as a murder attempt.
I actually understood him a little bit more in this episode/that scene (assuming you’re talking about SP). From his perspective, she gets to move on with her life (since he doesn’t see how much the trial did effect her), while he spends every year/every day missing his son. It would have hit him even harder on what would have been his birthday. I don’t know why he didn’t look for other options to who the killer was at the time, but as far as he is concerned, she’s the killer if only to have someone to focus all his anger at.
I do get his anger, but y’know, he choked her. I have zero patience for men in power who abuse the powerless, which is what’s what he’s been doing. Stalking her, then spreading false information about Ji-wook. Then this. Also, he must not’ve been a very good father if he couldn’t tell what was going on with his son. Or even to ask why his son was in his ex’s house in the first place. Surely he should’ve noticed something was amiss. It’d been months. Why show up at Bong-hee’s? It’s not like she invited him; that he would’ve known that from the text messages and call history. I’d thought he was a little off during the investigation into his son’s murder. My suspicion is that his outbursts could very well be motivated by guilt as well as grief. So no, I still don’t excuse him. Furthermore, losing control like that in the position he’s in, ugh.
True enough. I don’t necessarily mean his acts are excusable, but that I can see his motivation for why he reacts that way. It is extreme, so I agree that there is something more going on.
The ex did have a reason to go to her place cause she told him he had left some stuff there when they had run into each other earlier. But, yeah, I doubt the father was really involved in his life, which might be where all his guilt is coming from.
Yup! I meant that the father wouldn’t have known any reason for his son to go to his ex’s place. Thank you for your thoughtful replies 😊😊 Was feeling pretty ragey after seeing him almost kill Bong-hee like that, so sorry if my comments might seem a little pointed. Bong-hee is much more gracious than I am tbh. For all that she’s suffered, I’m glad that I can say that I trust the show for major payoff. It’s been delivering all the emotional beats well so far, and I just hope I don’t have to wait too long. Ugh, I detest him so much.

Thank you 😊 I think most beanies will have the same reaction. I can’t wait for the recap to see what lollypip and others say!
