no he probably messed up miji's name again like he usually does. we have seen him mess it frequently so i assume…
I doubt. Mr. Organic Strawberry Farming did not call Mirae-ji consistently.
I think he connectid the dots earlier than Hosu.
I'm suspecting he started to doubt when he "tested" Mirae-ji for 2 weeks. I think he knew she has a twin by asking the town's chief, and like Hosu, he respected the secrecy of the switch and waited for the right moment.
Initially, I thought that he just like the name "Mirae". But I remembered that Mirae-ji talked about "Mirae".
If Mr. Organic Strawberry Farming kept saying Mirae to Mirae-ji just because he liked the name better, why only now? Why did he never call Mirae-ji as Mirae before?
The only conclusion I can think of was, he didn't want to make it awkward with Mirae-ji. He waited patiently for the moment.
That moment was when he finally met the sisters together.
I'm also suspecting he was at the hospital because he suspected Miji-rae will be there. He used that opportunity to meet them together and have an improptu gathering. He tested Miji-rae and his suspicions and the stories of the town chief was confirmed then.
So, later, he started calling Mirae-ji by real name, "Mirae". There was no use in hiding it. Especially now that he finally is gettieg through the walls of Mirae, he's levelling with her, and it's the only way to get Mirae to open up—she needs to be herself and stop playing as Mirae-ji.
Now, I'm not saying I'm correct. Those are simply my suspicions because Mr. Organic Strawberry Farming was for once consistent in calling Mirae-ji as "Mirae". Before that, he was like "fooling" around with different names because he knew she is "playing" as Mirae-ji.
A week or two ago, I talked about the reasons why the writer picked an identical twin approach. Today, let's talk about the "flow".
The first half of the series was about Miji / Miji-rae. While we saw Mirae / Mirae-ji, the first half was narrated by Miji and Mirae was seen through the eyes of Miji. Yes, we had glimpses of the story from Mirae's perspective but those were few and usually only to make Miji-rae's situation understandable.
By E07, the narrator switched to Mirae. It is as expected.
However, there's more to it than splitting the series into two.
In E06, the flow of Miji's story started to wrap up while Mirae's started to pickup. And in E07, Miji's story finally wrapped up and Mirae's finally started.
Think of it this way.
- E01–02: Miji's airplane took off. - E03–04: Miji's airplane was flying high. - E05: Miji's airplane approached the airport. - E06: Miji's airplane landed. - E07: Miji's airplane taxied.
- E12: Mirae lands, and the Yu family reconciles and lives happily ever after.
It does appear that Mirae's story is shorter than Miji. Based on the official poster, the main character is Miji. Secondly, the main romantic love story is Miji and Hosu.
However, if you consider the Mirae parts from Miji's perspective, we've known Mirae's story already. Thus there's not much to tell from Mirae's side, the remaining episodes will focus on giving Mirae closure and healing from her ordeal.
So, if we take each scene and arrange them chronologically, the story of Miji and Mirae are more or less equal. With 2–3 episodes dedicated to both of them.
This is a very good storytelling flow. The writer carefully plotted each scene, and speet time arranging the scenes. The writer could've followed a strictly alternate story flow (common in novels) or a strictly half-half flow. Instead, the writer mixed the two methods in a beautiful and touching way.
Well said...but in any case, the scores make the actors and the crew proud, even though many times everyone knows…
Ahh, yes, The Great Firewall of China! And all the censorship.
That's really sad. They deserve to know the global feedback if they ever want to compete in the global market. They more likely have no idea that they're now popular internationally outside of Wuxia genre?
If you want to understand why Koreans guard their democracy intensely, watch this film which was based on a true story in 1987. It was when the second #PeoplePower in modern history toppled yet another dictator.

I'm not sure about Chinese dramas, but in Korea, they are aware. Namu Wiki, Korea's most popular and go-to wiki, always pull in the ratings from MDL for Korean shows and movies. There are also Koreans who translate comments and MDL forum posts into Hangugeo.
They are aware. But of course they don't give it any value.
The MDL synopsis is basically a SPOILER. It summarized the movie, there's no need to watch it.Someone who watched…
Anyway, just submitted a new one:
On his way home with a birthday cake in tow, a man’s routine drive turns into a nightmare when a massive tunnel suddenly collapses around him. Trapped deep underground with dwindling supplies and only his phone for contact, he becomes the centre of a tense national rescue effort.
As days stretch into uncertainty, the world above grapples with pressure, politics, and the fragile thread of hope. Tunnel is a gripping survival drama that blends raw human endurance with biting social insight—an intense, emotional ride that asks what it really takes to save a life.
So, the guardian Dollar broke disabled the protection of the shrine and let lose a parasite that was trapped by their ancestors.
That parasite has 7 forms or parts.
- One is known as knife and has attached itself to Pingting. - The next one is probably occupying the giant clam. - The third one is probably inside 2FL's uncle.
They probably need to restore the broken guardian. But as with many North-East Asian (CJK) stories, you don't just remake a guardian statue, there's a long process behind it. Cleansing. Finding the right materials. Prayers. And so on.
Then there's the mysterious message behind the god of water's statue that doesn't belong there, or at least not part of the village's traditions. Was it new? Or, was it from the ancient village that sealed the 7 ill omens when it first came and wreak havoc?
So, what they need to do is to find out how the ancient people caught, subdued, and sealed it.
The title "ill omen" is giving the impression that it's scary, gothic, dark, ghosts, horror, types. But the truth is, it is not at all. If you don't like those genres, don't worry, this show is scifi-fantasy. You'll enjoy it.

So, what do you think is the reason why Miji-rae was surprised to see the new guy in Mirae's office? It hints that Miji-rae knows the person.
Share your theories!
I think he connectid the dots earlier than Hosu.

"What The Crying!"
"Some people really don't change."
And it turned out to be part of the documentary but the eldest son's reaction was genuine. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He can't believe his mom is freaking crying.

Someone who watched it should write a real synopsis, not a summary, instead of copying from somewhere else.

I think the Phoenix squad will need 7 total. But two were either dead already, or will die soon.
