Exactly. Immortal until the last episode at least lol.

I agree. If he is alive, he wouldn’t have done this to make her stronger. He isn’t the ideal parent figure, but he isn’t cruel. Eventually, they were going to come after the two of them, he had to prepare her for it and he had to make plans so that she would (and maybe him) be able to survive.

Yea I kind of agree. Creating a shop for murders would only put you in more danger, not less. I don’t think this was his dream job. I think he set figurative ‘buried treasure’ for his enemies and led them into a trap. My only qualm it took a while to get all the defensive measures up (Brother coming to the surface). And when it came to defensive, Min Hye almost drove off, and again, it took Brother coming to the surface to show where the weapon storage was in the house. Not sure Brother is very reliable when it comes to sharing the defensive and offensive measures set in place lol. I mean couldn’t Jin Man have some guns coming out the ground our something? Dude has a hole underground bunker of weapons and a fortified fortress, but can’t set up a few machine guns underground to take out the approaching bad guys? But it’s a drama, and I guess we can’t kill all the bad guys at one time.

Kind of curious how he got this operation off the ground though. But with only two episodes left, I doubt will get much insight into that but who knows. They have been pretty good at filling in the blanks with flashbacks.

I don’t believe he did. The way he kept listening to the recording was telling that he knew something was up. Also, Jin Man seems like a man of action. He would have gone and saved her. I mean I’m still not positive either way if he’s dead or not. They’re selling it pretty well, but it’s hard to believe him going out so easily and not putting up a fight after putting so many plans in place.

This show is pretty good with the flashbacks plugging in holes. I’m hoping we get another flashback that explains what led to her moving out, whether she actually hit him or he let her. I’m leaning more to him letting her, he’s pretty sneaky that’s one lol.

Although a third, more boring explanation would be that she was going to college and needed to move out. So who knows.

Oh really!? I just edited my comment to add a paragraph, go back and read if you get a chance, but talking about how much we miss in this series.

I never noticed the Polaroid and I didn’t realize Brother was Honda’s brother. I really wanted Honda to last longer! He seemed so nice when he rescued little Jian! And then to see him again in episode 6 made me so sad.

But now that you are saying Brother is his brother that makes perfect sense. I was confused and as to why Jin Man approached Brother as a a young teen. But it was probably right after Honda died. Jin Man knew he had a brother and obviously because Honda died protecting Jian, Jin Man was going to take care of Brother. I really should have thought more about his name being Brother and the significance of it, that he was the brother of someone important in the show.

Thanks for pointing this out to me. I totally had no idea and never came across this in the comments. And somehow never saw the Polaroid in the show, although to be honest it isn’t very clear. There aren’t very many moments with Brother and Honda though, so I can’t imagine it would be very hard to track down. I wonder if it’s when Jin Man goes to get Brother when he is young. I’ll have to go back and look maybe.

I had to go back and rewatch it. It has to do with her ability to take Brother down and her ability to fight. The flashback isn’t about the date it’s about introducing Pasin who teaches her to fight. So the flashback shows what leads up to her learning to fight. The date, her uncle ruining the date, her wanting to move out, the uncle saying she could move out if she could punch him in the face (which she is obviously unable to do), and then her approaching Pasin to teach her how to fight so she could punch her uncle in the face and move out . And the flashback ends when Pasin leaves. So the flashback is about Pasin and her learning to fight, not the date.

This really is a show someone could watch more than once. I’ve gone back to a few scenes and picked up on some things. It does get confusing. They’ve introduced characters in the first episode who died who showed back up in the flashback in episode 6 and I kind of forgot I had seen them before.

Thanks! The summary made me unsure so I wanted to wait u til it was completed.

Can some spoil the ending for me when it regards the couples? It sounded like a love triangle, and since it was a virtual world, you never know how those relationships end, so I’d rather not watch to be disappointed and know who ends up with who or who doesn’t in the end.

Loved Min Hye’s back story and so glad that Pasin is back. I had a feeling we’d see him again. I’m still kind of sad that more guy that got his arm chopped off is dead. I noticed him in episode 6 and he seemed pretty nice when he went to save Ji An. Wish he had survived. Seeing a lot of people discussing whether Jin Man is dead. I’m on the fence. Part of me feels like it would be a cop out to back track on it, it then also I don’t get the benefits to Ji An by killing himself. And then if he did fake suicide, is he waiting for Bale? In that case his kind of putting Ji An in danger the entire time. But I guess she’s always been in danger, and at some point this was going to come to a head. Also, he has had some questionable choices when it comes to parenting so I suppose it wouldn’t be that surprising. Either way I’m not sure what to think, or which I would prefer. Also, his suicide looked pretty convincing.

I kind of agree, but then it’s also dangerous to make all of the protagonist’s go through all this alone. Maybe they’re all in on it and Jian isn’t, but that still leaves her in danger. So I’m not sure how I feel about it. I’m kind of on the fence.

That looked pretty convincing. IDK.

I had to google the age of consent after you said that? Because it blew my mind. They actually raised it from 13 to 16 just last year. But that was just last year! And 16? Really? This is crazy. No wonder this genre is so popular. The Japanese government is enabling what should be sexual assault.

It is confusing. Which makes me somewhat not interested in reading it. Maybe it’s an issue with the translation, but it says a lot with no context. It honestly sounds like they mixed three different summaries accidentally.

This is available on Peacock.

True, just feel like we kind of just scratched the surface with him. How involved was he with he shop, was he an assassin too? Did he even have a son?

I wonder if Pasin will show back up. Would be weird for him just to disappear like that. Also he is holding a gun in the poster.

Oh that drove me nuts!!!! And the kids reasoning for not clicking on it was soooo ridiculous. I mean Brother was in there the entire time by himself. If he had wanted to open it up to the bad guys, he would have already, not wait for them to come down there prompt her to open a file to do it.

You’re an idiot. Same sex relationships are none of your business. If two adults consent to have a relationship stay out of it, it’s none of your business and effects you in no way.

A teacher/student relationship is unacceptable because a student is a child and being in a relationship with an adult is unacceptable. That is sexual assault.

How is that hypocrisy? Unless you are claiming I’m a hypocrite for claiming having moral standards when it regards a child and adult having a relationship and not having moral standards regarding a same sex relationship. In that case, you are coming across as a homophobe. Because your expectation is that I should have a moral issue with a same sex relationship as much as I have an issue with a child/adult relationship. But I don’t have a moral issue with a same sex relationship, I have an issue with grooming and sexual assault of a child.

So congratulations on you coming across as someone who is an homophobe who equates a same sex relationship to sexual assault of a child. You’re trash. Your opinions are trash. And you will always be an ignorant piece of trash. And I hope you have a piece of shit day.

I agree with how they are represented in Japanese versus Western media. It’s just always baffled me why it’s particularly so common and accepted in Japan.
