Breathless - Theory that solves Plot Holes
1st Part is my general Review
2nd Part is my theory on the Plot Holes
A egocentric “capitalist monster” meets a brave woman that fell victim to the patriarchal oppressions of Joseon Dynasty. Their interpersonal collision leaves a deep mark of both comedic and painful value. Even my mother, who usually doesn’t watch Asian Dramas, was obsessed with the flower scene of the first episode. She couldn’t stop laughing the first bit of the series. To see her this cheerful, I wouldn’t dare to say the comedic parts weren’t entertaining.
The leading cast was superb - I haven’t seen such chemistry in a long time. Heo Namjun was performing his role of a rich spoiled chaebol so well I almost forgot how toxic that lifestyle actually is.
However, I must admit that I was not sure what was going on in the last few episodes either. If they had 2 more episodes, I am sure they could have answered some of the questions that are popping up in this community thread. Although , I would say that I do like the last episode.
2nd Part:
I think Shin Seori saved both Cha Segye and Kang Danshim when she changed The Grandprince’s Fate in the last Episode. Danshim died of the poison before, so she didn’t ‘exist’ anymore. The shaman resurrected her, but actually brought back Seori first, not Danshim? And later on Danshim came back to life in Joseon, where she actually belonged.
I suspect that the evil actress, who also tried to poison Seori just a few episodes before, actually put real poison on the movie set of the first episode. So Danshim was literally fated to die (or be harmed) from poison.
What’s weird though is that Cha Segye’s Soul seems to be the same as the one of the Grandprince (because of the Dreams). But Shin Seori and Kang Danshim don’t seem to share the same exact soul. But for this plot to add up, I think they should.
For the plot holes regarding Cha Segye’s cousin, I don’t get why people say he was just a filler. I think the plot was all about him having several chances to step down from the horse of craved power and wealth, put he didn’t choose his son (a normal happy life) but he choose to go with his career. He even killed a person, if not more, on his path. But he wasn’t a serial killer in the sense that he enjoyed it or did so when he didn’t have to. He was scary similar to the real life killers that some high ranking businessmen pose in our everyday lives. Clumsy, because he was not trained in getting rid of people, and also imperfect, because he realistically struggles with emotions.
