I've been rooting for that bromance from the beginning as well. The big reveal has been tough but they did warn us since Ep 7. I hoped up till Ep 9 that Sun Ho's obviously suspicious behaviour would be a distraction from the real killer but ok. This does explains why all resetters have died before since Sun Ho being alive in any reset of 2019-2020 means their deaths.

I'm gonna go and predict that Sun Ho doesn't have a good reason for killing unfortunately though. The projector in his room plays clips of predator-animals and his collection of mementos is obviously some sick game he thought of. He's killing for fun as you can see from his smile. Lee Shin is just indirectly using Sun Ho to test fate for our poor group-resetters.

Well personally I had 2 suspects in mind before the reveal (webtoon-assistant and Sun Ho). Although the assistant turned out to be evil too, he wasn't the real serial killer unfortunately. I chose to hope that Sun Ho wasn't the killer for the detective bromance but I knew he was incredibly suspicious.

The serial killer had to have a few traits: Physically capable of killing, obsessed with mementos (possibly linked to webtoon?) and knowledge about the reset-group.

Suspect 1: The assistant
The assistant could've been the serial killer since he could've stalked Ga Hyun for the information about the reset-group. He had enough offscreen time and he also had a motive since the webtoon seemed an obsession of his. Evidence was sparse but he seemed to be able to shift his personality from clumsy to serious very well and he had no observed reason to be in the story. I thought the giant black bag on the wall of the serial killer was the one from the assistant but unfortunately it wasn't. Sure he's a creep but it turned out it wasn't him. This was noticed when he got caught so easily in the beginning of Ep 9.

Suspect 2: Sun Ho
This guy behaved suspiciously by spying on the detective whenever he saw Hyung Jo talking to a stranger and copying his reset-murders evidence. I had hoped that Sun Ho was showing genuine concern for his partner but it was just so that he wouldn't get caught.

In Ep 7 Lee Shin (who knows who the killer is) weirdly brings up Sun Ho at the start of the conversation with the detective about the next death. Next scene (Ep7) with Lee Shin basically made Sun Ho a suspect for most people.

The scene starts with a question about the reset-gangster (Bae Jung Tae) but I knew there was a message behind it about the real killer.
LS: ''You should be thanking me''
LS: ''I'm paying for the mistake you made''
detective: ''What are you talking about?''
LS: ''Well , it's not like a detective is a deity''
LS: ''You could always make A MISTAKE''
LS: ''Don't be so hard on yourself''
The mistake she is implying is saving detective Sun Ho from his death. By saving him, the detective has doomed himself and all the other resetters to die. She is consoling him because she knows how he'd react if he knows the truth. This is what gave Sun Ho's identity as the killer away.

While I knew about this evidence I kept hope for the bromance thanks to the creepy webtoon-assistant but Sun Ho is unfortunately now proven evil.

Yes she or someone connected to her definitely saved them in the 2019-2020 timeline before the group-reset by letting Sun Ho get killed.

Same but at least Yuri had a chance to say goodbye this time. Do I agree with her choice? No but I understand she did it as a mother and she already has been shown to sacrifice everything for her child. Basically Seo Woo owes Yuri a lot.

Well, what did you expect to happen in a romance show about a catshifter and his owner? Of course they'd have a kiss-scene.
And yeah the grandma-cat was a bit cynical but I can understand her situation since young people probably wouldn't want to date a rapidly aging catshifter.

Good post but mayby put it as a spoiler for new watchers? There are some important plot-points mentioned here.

Yeah I understand where you're coming from but I think this genre clashes a bit with romance. They're constantly at risk of dying (since they don't know their own date of death) and they can't trust anyone completely. I don't think a lot of people would actively try to get a relationship if they knew their lives were probably over within a year. Especially since the other person could be the killer/working with the enemy for all they know. Both the detective and Ga Hyun have doubted each other.
They may end up romantically involved if they survive the year/someone resets again to save them.

Lee Shin may have made it sound like they died at a further point in time but the group-resetters really all originally died in 2019-2020. Lee Shin has done multiple resets back to 2019 (probably for her daughter) and she decided to save the group from serial killer Sun Ho by getting him killed. This traumatised the detective and gave him a reason to reset a year, most of the others agreed because of money/health. This was all an experiment by Lee Shin to see if they could change their fate but up till now everyone is still dying at the same pace as the original timeline.

An explanation in short is basically that Sun Ho's life was traded for the lives of all the group-resetters since he is their killer. So the good detective indirectly killed everyone by resolving his trauma and saving his partner.

It's an interesting drama and surely recognisable for those who have been/are suffering from depression. Multiple characters suffer from depression throughout the drama.

Sakura is not neurotypical and she has many quirky behaviours, she's also way too honest but she has a good heart. I watched this mostly to see the positive effect Sakura had on the people around her purely because she was different. The last episodes were a bit weak unfortunately. I think everyone would want a friendgroup like Sakura has, they are really dependable.

It's got everything to do with the BL drama ''Addicted Heroin'' which released on the Chinese internet in 2016. It got very popular (it's a cult-classic) and the Chinese government took notice and decided on an immediate halt on the production of the drama. The male leads aren't allowed to star together in a production to this day (they are still beloved by many).

Shortly after a ban on all Chinese BL-dramas was announced and companies had to either rush out their movies or abandon the project. Nowadays there's only bromance (no intimate action) releasing in China like the Untamed but novels can still get away with BL-action.

Taiwan is not ruled by Chinese laws so it can freely release any BL they want and they do since the business is lucrative. Like the HIStory series for example.

Finally the big reveal happens. Well, it was a good run guys. Goodbye detective bromance between Sun ho and Hyun Jo.

Yes I held out hope for the assistant to be the killer up until this episode but it wasn't meant to be. Sun Ho was one of our two remaining suspects and I knew when the assistant got caught so easily that it wasn't done. It does perfectly explain how everyone died in the other timeline but I hoped Sun Ho was genuinely worrying about his partner.

Now I'm sad but also amazed at how Sun Ho can hide his killer-side so well during his daily interactions. Sure he was suspicious but I was willing to look past that for the detective friendship. I'll rewatch the episode later for the Lee Shin storyline. I'm gonna go and mourn the loss of the bromance but anticipate the reaction of Hyun Jo. Also RIP gamer-bro.

I watched the episode in Korean because I hoped to get some clues out of that and I'm even more shocked than the last episode. I predicted there were 2 suspects left but still.. Good luck watching this one guys.

The fact that the show allows for such theories shows how good the mystery is at this point. Everything is still possible.

I already deduced the first two points myself and completely share your opinion on them. I agree that the killer is the assistant and that Lee Shins daughter is her reason to reset. I personally found out because it had to be someone who was near one of the resetters and someone who saw artistic value in killing them (memento collection). Then I saw the black bag on the wall of the killer and I knew it was the assistant. The daughter of Lee Shin being the reason for the reset isn't really kept a secret by the show.

Your third point was the most interesting to me since I hadn't considered Lee Shin going that far. It would be a brilliant move by her since the detective wouldn't have a reason to reset otherwise. I hope this is actually the case since that would really show how much she planned this whole group-reset.

My condolences to you. I think you made the right choice not to watch it since it does cover the loss-aspect in a lot of different ways. I hope you find a drama better suited to your current state of mind!

Now that I've had time to emotionally process everything I gotta share my feelings about it somewhere. The ending felt so bittersweet because as a viewer I don't want Yuri to be gone. Sure Yuri has her faults with not letting people who loved her know she was resurrected but she ended up the one who sacrificed everything again for the sake of others.

Yuri is a character who only wanted others to be happy and it just feels unfair at the end of it all. I hope she's reincarnated as a person who receives lots of happiness instead of only giving it but we'll never know I guess. I had hoped they would show her next life. But yeah great that MJ and GH are happy but it's not complete for me until I know Yuri has happiness too.

Also, I still don't get the hate for the shaman-job (they seem pretty cool to me) but okay. I guess it was important for the daughter to have a normal life. Getting SW as a young shaman would've made for a cool sequel though.

Well then.. RIP Yuri. They did make it clear that it was coming though. Happy ending for MJ and GH. Though I really didn't understand the big problem about her daughter seeing ghosts. Like yea the ghosts can be dangerous but she'd soon mature enough to know the difference and to learn how to cope. Yuri survived easily in those 49 days while seeing ghosts (yea she was chased once but that was it). Also, it'd guarantee a job in our unstable economy since the daughter can just do apprenticeship with the shaman-woman.

I won't deny that a bromance would've been nice but pets usually bond to a specific human (their owner) so it would be out of character for Hong Jo to deeply care about Jae Sun. Cats are very specific in their likes so I'm not suprised Hong Jo just chose whoever made the most impact on him emotionally (Sol Ah).

I think Jae Sun just doesn't want his ex-lover to end up romantically involved with their own cat. Realistically he has good reason to try and prevent it besides just jealousy. I was never really bothered by the actions of Jae Sun as he doesn't involve himself besides his demands that Hong Jo tell the truth (because a cat-human relationship is pretty weird).

Jae Sun already respects that Sol Ah has Hong Jo in her heart. He's there for backup when Hong Jo leaves, he knows he can't defeat Hong Jo as long as he's there. He wants Sol Ah to make an informed choice though so that's why he demands the truth. I'm also sure he wouldn't want Hong Jo on the streets. Hong Jo would probably just have to be in cat-form a lot more to hide from Sol Ah.

I'm happy the poster-arc got resolved today. I think this was a difficult time for the 365 community but we made it through. Finally we have an aesthetically pleasing poster again.
