[Discussion] Arang and the Magistrate

Anyways...my thought is...maybe Eun Oh's mother is possessed? She wants Arang's body so I was thinking then she must have stole Eun Oh's mother's? It's only speculation but this episode made me think of this theory....I also doubt this will actually be

i think that's a pretty good speculation, it would explain what she's doing with the souls and why the murders have been happeing for centuies but Eun Oh's Omma seems to have had living family just before Eun Oh was born.

LOL at the Gumiho thing. I was wondering if there was going to be a joke about it.

I agree with this theory, I would just like to point out, that Eun Oh's mom, in my opinion, gave her body away willingly, as we have seen she was seeking some kind of revenge from some magistrate who, she said was the reason her whole family died on the same day... just some speculations...

Oooh I think you may be onto something here :) it does fit in with the story quite well...I'm curious to see how it will work out and if our speculations are right aha

Loving this at the moment! It was slow at first but it's really picking up!

Or, she could be evil and possess supernatural powers since Eun Oh has the ability to see ghosts. Maybe she abandoned him because of that. She didn't want her real son to be involved with her revenge scheme so she decided to manipulate another boy. Maybe she possessed the power all along but she didn't utilize them til now. Whatever the reason, I'm really curious about how this story will unravel!

PrettyBrown_Eyes wrote: That is another possibilty but it got me thinking let's say Eun Oh's mother is evil then how could she raise (sorta) Eun Oh and Ju Wal at the same time in different places? That's what I can't figure out...his mother disappeared 3 years ago...but Ju Wal had been luring sacrifices since he was a child...she can't be in two places at once...

Scratching my head over this...can't seem to figure it out...which is a good thing aha!!!

I am pretty sure the evil spirit just took over his mothers body... ( at least that is what I think lol)

i forget which episodes it was in but in one episode they show Eun Ho being taken from his mother at a young age. there is another flash back where he says he wants to live with her and she tells him to go back to his father, so she wasnt the one raising him. this leaves an opening for her to raise Ju Wal, but doesnt answer any of our buring questions. BTW, who else totally melted when Arang told Ju Wal her name and he repeated it back... the sound of his voice in that moment was just...guh!

Hmmm not sure.....didn´t find the plot & trailer interesting enough. Someone want´s to convince me otherwise? :D MAybe...I will give it a try then^^
