So, FL did what people here were dreaming she does (spoiler below).
She goes in the countryside alone, no "men of her life" around. π In a quiet place where she can quielty heal. π Wait.......... she's even more sick than before now. πππ
Starts with a flashback of the real Hyeri as a teenager, scolded by EunHo.
01:18 - Interesting bus journey to the forest. A little tip: Hyeri's face was shown at the very beginning, but it was hard to see that she was on the bus. So the previous flashback is Hyeri remembering her sister. The girls gossiping about her: she's never spoken to them in 4 years. Hyeri is asocial.
02:10 - Continuation of journey, forest reception centre. Night time. The students celebrate. Hyeri is left alone. Sees firefly lights... Follows them... ... to the entrance of the forest... She enters. Arrives in a strange field, with a kind of sun. Superb cinematography.
04:40 - Her smartphone rings. Left at the refuge. Then her strange semi-oniric journey continues through the forest. She has passed the light (a kind of sun) which is now at her back, rather than in front of her. And now the field is empty, she's lost. We can write on her grave: Dead missing, for having preferred to socialise with fireflies rather than with humans. lol!
06:25 - Transition to a forest painting. At EunHo's apparently. Her smartphone rings at 5:21, HyunO. No one answers.
07:02 - Title: Your name. βJoo Eun Ho Ri Hye Jooβ Hyeri's name in reverse. A sort of mirror effect in the words.
07:15 - Voice-over radio news: It's now summer. How long has it been since the last episode? Lots of mail dropped off in front of EunHo's house. In a way, EunHo has disappeared, as has Hyeri.
07:58 - Lunchtime news. Ji-On and a girl other than EunHo. JinA ?
08:56 - Ji-On + HyunO. He complains that his partner is hitting on him. HyunO hasn't heard anything from EunHo.
After Shin Joon gives HyunO a show... 12:00 - HyunO says that EunHo is absent but hasn't resigned. She's just taken all her days off. She's been away for a month.
12:56 - Parking. WHAT??! Hyeri hasn't come to work at the car park either?!!! EunHo has 100% disappeared!
14:00 - JuHyeon at home. Military film. Checks his smartphone about EunHo. Replaces the military film with EunHo's show by the sea. Nice that this scene didn't get lost in the shuffle. A strong meaning here, it's as if it replaces his previous goal in life (the army). Everything indicates that JuHyeon wants to be interested in EunHo as much as Hyeri... He also tries to phone her, to no avail.
15:20 - Media. Ji-On + ChooRong. (the girl HyeonO was supposed to marry, but it fell through) She says she has feelings for HyunO too. GAG! He comes in and hears this. ^^ Heol.
17:00 - ChooRong and HyeonO in the garden. He tells her he has no feelings for her. 18:07 - The director does a special shot.
19:35 - At the grandmothers' house. I have a hunch that the grandmother with cancer will die before the end of the drama. A guy arrives / Flashback. The husband who'd left after a stroke. The guy reminds me of a family version of Clown Jae. Drama filled without much exciting stuff at this point.
23:30 - JuHyeon at his boss's house. Asks if he knows HyeonO. Then wanders around the car park...
25:35 - JuHyeon at home. Motivated to box.
26:20 - Yeah, he's looking to meet HyeonO. They chat... Finally an exciting scene. JuHyeon tells him that she has a dissociative disorder. Woo! HyeonO is shocked. JuHyeon determined to meet EunHo and not just Hyeri. A strong clue: - EunHo broke up with HyeonO. - But Hyeri didn't break up with JuHyeon. Which puts JuHyeon at the top of the list! All it takes now is for him to start socializing with EunHo too. Plus, he's really worried about EunHo's health, and attacks HyeonO about how he doesn't seem to be. Ouch! That's heavy stuff!
35:30 - HyeonO remembers... Details about EunHo being ill.
36:10 - So he goes to see the therapist. Confidentiality clause, can't answer about EunHo. But since he paid for a session: She's on his case. LOL. The often cold actor is very expressive. Bravo. 39:28, In this shot, the director does a double image of HyeonO in a window, both images shot in the same direction. HyeonO is now worried that EunHo's condition is his fault. But the therapist reassures him. Says that EunHo needs someone to take care of her, that this will help her heal.
42:15 - Night. HyeonO knocks on EunHo's door. But she's not there, of course. He sees the mail piling up. Is this the first time he's been to her house instead of phoning?
43:00 - Media. Clown Jae. Going to be a pain with HyeonO. But he finds out where Hyeri works. lol The last shot is amusing. βoh, you're goneβ.
44:40 - Night. HyeonO in the car park. 47:30, asks Min Young if Hyeri looked happy. CUT. No answer now. But surely she answers βYESβ.
47:45 - Back to the grandmothers. Tsssss.... This episode is dragging on. I have a feeling we won't see EunHo until the cliffhanger. Tss..tss..tss...
48:15 - HyeonO in his room. Remembers the voice-overs about EunHo. How sick she is. How blind he was. Blames himself, cries... DRAMA SONG. A poor broken man. T T Booh ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooh. Grandma comes like a zombie behind him. He calls to his mother, crying. Wait... Is he crying for his mother or EunHo? Confused!
51:20 - After lunch TV news. Ji-On and Jin Hwa. Subplot... tss tss. She asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend (my foot). She's afraid of the rumours about her and Chief Seo. She convinces him by saying she saw EunHo ! 53:15, flashback where she saw EunHo. She is hit by a car. Harsh! Creepy hairstyle. Like Hyeri. She takes off running.
55:00 - HyeonO at the office. Not answering phone. Hm. Clown Jae arrives. He really should answer the phone. Um... 57:40, HyeonO breaks down. If he answered the phone, this wouldn't be happening. AH FINALLY, he answers!!! Of course, it's about EunHo. CUT, we don't know what.
59:40 - JuHyeon inquires about EunHo's life. Disappearance of her sister, etc. Really, he had plenty of time to do that before, lol!
01:00:25 - Giyi seaside village. Shouldn't be far from the Giyidong forest? HyeonO arrives here. Thanks to the information he got. The policeman tells him that she lives in an abandoned hut. He has to sign a document to go with her but-- SURPRISE !!!!!! It's Hyeri ! The REAL one??!!!! It's hard to see her face. Hard to tell if it's EunHo or not. And... Cliffhanger on that. One last scene after that: It seems to be Hyeri-EunHo.
I feel like the last two episodes could have been done in one. Or at least, the last three episodes done in two. A bit disappointing.
I'm in episode 8. So far this drama is good. It adds to the classic "cop undercover" some spicy and original situations. Kind of situations making you to squeeze your ass, but in a different way. π
Ji Chang Wook acting is perfect. Rock solid. He stands the role and the whole drama. Wi Ha Joon takes more time to convince, and I feel the actor light for this kind of role. Special mention to BIBI, as a pretty poisoned beauty. Special mention to Lee Shin-Ki, jumping out of screen as knife-expert cold killer.
Kind of thing he didn't need on top of other things people are furious about him. π
Maybe someone else could get that?
I'll call the fire brigade the day 11th episode drops here.
... or cry for his mom? Not clear yet. ππ
In a quiet place where she can quielty heal. π
Wait.......... she's even more sick than before now. πππ

- But Hyeri didn't break up with JuHyeon.
Which puts JuHyeon at the top of the list!
All it takes now is for him to start socializing with EunHo too.
Plus, he's really worried about EunHo's health, and attacks HyeonO about how he doesn't seem to be.
Ouch! That's heavy stuff!
35:30 - HyeonO remembers...

Remembers the voice-overs about EunHo.
How sick she is.
How blind he was.
Blames himself, cries... DRAMA SONG.
A poor broken man. T T
Booh ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooh.
Grandma comes like a zombie behind him.
He calls to his mother, crying.
Wait... Is he crying for his mother or EunHo?
Confused!
51:20 - After lunch TV news.
Ji-On and Jin Hwa.
Subplot... tss tss.
She asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend (my foot).
She's afraid of the rumours about her and Chief Seo.
She convinces him by saying she saw EunHo !
53:15, flashback where she saw EunHo.
She is hit by a car. Harsh!
Creepy hairstyle. Like Hyeri.
She takes off running.
55:00 - HyeonO at the office.
Not answering phone. Hm.
Clown Jae arrives.
He really should answer the phone. Um...
57:40, HyeonO breaks down.
If he answered the phone, this wouldn't be happening.
AH FINALLY, he answers!!!
Of course, it's about EunHo.
CUT, we don't know what.
59:40 - JuHyeon inquires about EunHo's life. Disappearance of her sister, etc.
Really, he had plenty of time to do that before, lol!
01:00:25 - Giyi seaside village.

HyeonO arrives here. Thanks to the information he got.
The policeman tells him that she lives in an abandoned hut.
He has to sign a document to go with her but--
SURPRISE !!!!!!
It's Hyeri ! The REAL one??!!!!
It's hard to see her face.
Hard to tell if it's EunHo or not.
And... Cliffhanger on that.
One last scene after that:
It seems to be Hyeri-EunHo.
I feel like the last two episodes could have been done in one.
Or at least, the last three episodes done in two.
