The one thing we will never know for sure, is what exactly was said between them in that private moment. We only have her side of the story (almost a year after the fact), and it is unlikely Kim Seon Ho will share more details. I know I wouldn't in his position. Even if he tried to explain his side of the story, a lot of people have already decided he is entirely in the wrong and will pick apart his words. Emotions cloud memories and twist them, and how she remembers what happened between them will not be the same as how he remembers it.
I am trying to remain impartial as much as possible, but it is difficult when there is no way to prove what really happened, and it's not like a legal crime was committed that would have to be investigated. Which makes me even more frustrated that it was made public, because that just means that the faceless masses of the internet are going to be the ones making the judgements, and doing so with barely any information.

Actually according to her statement, she wanted the baby, but KSH persuaded her to get an abortion by promising to marry her. If that is true, she could've sued him for a breach of promise to marry after he broke up with her, as his promise and her acceptance would've been legally binding, just like a written contract.
The fact remains that the only thing we know for sure is that they were in a relationship and that it ended very badly. I am disinclined to completely trust the unverified words of an emotionally compromised person on the internet, especially when she waited until he was at the peak of success to tear him down.

The first thing that Korean idols and actors do whenever they're involved in controversy is apologize, even if they're not in the wrong. They apologize for disappointing fans, they apologize for causing trouble. It's not always an admission of guilt, it's just that they're expected to apologize no matter what, because if they don't they'll likely encounter more problems with their career because they're "unrepentant".

I'm not saying KSH is innocent of hurting his gf, or that he shouldn't apologize to (A). He did admit to hurting her in his letter, though he was understandably vague on details. I'm just saying that I'm not ashamed of myself for not jumping on the blame bandwagon and calling KSH a SOB, when we don't have all the facts. We only have her unverified statement, and we have his apology letter. That may be enough for the majority of the internet, but I'd rather hold off on passing judgement.

For some reason, people find it so easy to believe the worst of people. Words have so much power on the internet, because they spread so fast and millions of people take unverified words as truth. I have realized how dangerous this is, which is why I never judge anyone before the full truth is revealed.

This is why i stay off of social media for the most part, especially twitter, and only post innocuous things on Facebook and Instagram. I don't like how the internet has created a medium for a mob mentality that can destroy lives.

While this has been a nasty piece of business altogether, I can't help but feel that KSH isn't the only one to blame in the situation. And I don't at all like that this anonymous ex-gf made it a public matter when it is something she should have dealt with privately, either by suing him (if he really did short her on compensation), or by settling the matter through his agency. I don't like that in Korea, it's second nature for people to post slander online in order to get revenge for past wrongs - real or imagined.
I hope that this doesn't destroy KSH career that he's worked so hard to build. I also hope that that woman, whoever she is, is satisfied with her revenge and can move on with her life.

Maybe mark your post as spoiler for viewers who haven't seen ep 9 yet?

Also, to clarify, Ji Hyuk is not the traitor. Without his memory, Ji Hyuk understandably assumed that his team (Dong Wook and Kyung Seok) were victims of the same wave of agent murders that happened right around the time he disappeared. However, the truth was that Kyung Seok was a double-agent working for Sangmuhoe, and Dong Wook was the first to realize that Kyung Seok was working under separate orders, which led to him pointing his gun at Dong Wook after the death of the North Korean government officer at the hotel.

Before that disastrous mission in Shenyang, Ji Hyuk was in the dark about the political movements within the NIS organization. The only information he had was that someone on his team had leaked intel revealing their safe-house to the enemy. He had no choice but to suspect both Dong Wook and Kyung Seok, and he ended up making split-second decision that resulted in the death of innocent Dong Wook.

I agree with you there. I hope there will be some fantastic action at the end, because I don't want a quiet resolution after all that dramatic buildup and so many people dying because of the villain(s).

I've started rewatching from episode 1, so I can catch all the details I've forgotten over the last five weeks, in preparation for the finale this Friday/Saturday.

If you're talking about the events of episode 2, I'd have to rewatch it to get all the details right, but essentially the gangsters didn't break into the police station to save the guy in the white suit, they went in to get the "driver" –who was actually the boss of the gang. They killed the guy in the white suit because he got cocky and by trying to taunt Ji Hyuk, actually gave him a subtle hint about why their boss came to Korea. The guy in the white suit accepted his death because he was absolutely loyal to the gang boss and knew what he'd done would not be forgiven.
As for why the gangsters allowed themselves to be arrested in the first place, I think 1) they knew the NIS would be called in and 2) they knew it was likely that Ji Hyuk would be included in the investigation. The gang boss wanted to see his son's killer with his own eyes. Plus the gang boss is a drug addict and very crazy, so a dramatic exit is very much par the course.

I just want any explanation at this point, even if it is that Ji Hyuk was doing it to himself. The writers/director made us wonder about it, and have been teasing us with tiny bits of details about his missing year, so I really hope that there's more to be revealed. We've really only seen maybe a couple weeks out of that whole time - the original mission to take out the gangsters who murdered that one operative, then the mission that came right after that which ultimately led to disaster, and the final scene we see is from many months after that, when Ji Hyuk's become deranged and fueled with rage. There's still a huge chunk of time that's missing. My theory at this point, and it probably is wrong, is he went after Baek Mo Sa and got caught.

Right, the mission in Shenyang wasn't his only mission, but in episode 1 when Ji Hyuk's looking at himself in the mirror, he doesn't recognize the scars on his body, which means they're from the year he couldn't remember. And the doctors wouldn't comment on the scars if he'd had them before he went missing. The ONLY scars that have been explained at this point are the ones on his face. The scars on his shoulder, chest, abdomen, and the burn tissue on the back of his right right leg have not been explained.

After the revelations of episode 10, my biggest question is where did Ji Hyuk get all those scars? His memories have partially returned, but there’s still no explanation for why he’s got those scars all over his body. Presumably it wasn’t self harm (the doctors said he had been tortured), so SOMEBODY did that to him during his missing year. I’m going to be disappointed if they don’t clear up that last mystery in episode 11 or 12.

Oh nice! First Jang Hyuk plays Bang Won in "My Country", now Sang Wook will play him in his own drama.

I do like this drama. The romance wasn't the most compelling part of the story, to be sure, but the plot was solid and the characters were engaging. My favorite character was Prince Jin Yang, the older brother. He was a compelling character, whose weakness was that he desired what others had, be it power or love, but only knew how to take it rather than earn it. He was both victim and perpetrator, and the writer(s) did a good job of making you hate and sympathize with him.

I rewatched this drama recently and liked it much better the second time around. I made the mistake of watching it as it was airing, and since I tend to forget things from week to week, I lost track of a lot of the plot threads. Rewatching it made me appreciate it a lot more, and I bumped up my initial rating.

Might want to mark your comment as a spoiler for new viewers. As for me, I personally like Je Yi's character more than Soo Yeon, so I am glad that Je Yi is getting as much airtime as she is. I'm also super glad Soo Yeon is getting her own spin-off, because I do agree that –especially considering what we know now– the main drama did not do her justice. 12 episodes is just too short to really delve deep into as many main characters as this drama has.

There is a saying "nothing is new under the sun". It's hard to find a truly 'original' idea these days, so I am not going to use that as a reason to dislike a drama/show. Just because the idea has been used before, doesn't mean it's not being used well.
I am personally enjoying myself immensely while watching this drama.

For those of you disappointed by how little So Su Yeon's character was utilized in The Veil, a 2-episode spinoff focused on So Su Yeon, Jang Chun Woo, and Do Jin Sook has been announced by MBC! It's titled Möbius: The Veil. Hopefully this will reveal more about how Soo Yeon defied orders to save Chun Woo's life, and what Do Jin Sook's motivations are.

Based on a post from MBC on their Instagram, Su Yeon is getting a spin-off special episode. My grasp of Korean is sketchy at best, so I may have misunderstood the post. Here's the text, for reference:

"스핀오프 뭐비우스에서 수연이를 계속 볼 수 있다니?"
"Can I continue to see Su-Yeon in Moebius (?) Spin-off?"

If someone has a better translation, please post it here!

Honestly, Do Jin Suk is probably a safer bet than Baek Mo Sa. I think Do Jin Suk is more trustworthy than all the other directors. She wanted real, meaningful change in the NIS, rather than sucking up to politicians, which is why all the other directors hated her.
