i don't think daniel lee was the one responsible for it. also, they most likely were not switched at birth but it's possible that han seo joon's ex-wife abandoned her son after failing to kill him herself and somehow ended up with the other kid with the psycho/genius gene. she definitely has plenty of secrets we have yet to uncover! another theory i read here is that yo han is her other son from her second marriage but from what i remember her real son murdered his step-father and both his siblings as there were three bodies in the police report.

lol well episode 5 certainly was a rollercoaster! as if the plot itself wasn't confusing enough, they had to present it in a way that was just so convoluted. at least episode 6 was better in terms of unraveling certain parts of the mystery imo. not sure which bits you want untangled but from what i gather, as of the end of episode 6, jbr is def not the person he presents himself to be (some say him getting whacked on the head is the cause but personally i think he was pretending from the beginning as psychopaths do and him killing the bird is basically the writers way of letting us in on his secret). he could very well be the real son of han seo joon and/or the present-day killer and yo han seems to be aware of this and might just be trying to stop him. not sure if this makes yo han the other kid with the psycho/genius gene. if he is, idk how he ended up with han seo joon's ex-wife.

i just assumed that too since no one here brought it up yesterday but honestly i found the whole thing messy.

haha nono, she’s his younger sister :))

omg saaaaame. her parts feel so out of place and totally unnecessary.

came here to rant about the same thing and scrolled through wondering if anyone else felt the same. honestly this show has plenty of plot even without the conniving ceo's sister. her storyline is truly cringey.

omg this sadly makes sense :( btw, which scene is the first photo from? i can't remember!

also true. yet another person out for dong shik’s head.

LOOOOOOL :)) 100% accurate.

the first time i saw him was in soul mechanic and i honestly did not like him there. he is, however, brilliant as dong shik.

omg saaaaame. up until now, i have just been annoyed at him for being so narrow-minded and self-righteous. i know he wants justice too, but he can also be so self-serving. i hope he really grows from hereon out. i think he and dong shik would actually make good (and crazy) partners.

omg came here to speculate about a birth secret too. lol. but then i realised they wouldn't have given birth at the same time. then again, nothing is impossible in a kdrama. and kids don't only get switched out at birth :)) idk i still think it's too early to reach a definitive conclusion about either jbr and syh. i notice they deliberately keep showing us signs about how the former is so kind and the latter is more likely to be the killer but i am still not 100% convinced. like, syh could have all those photos of the victims because the real killer sent them to him either to taunt him or blackmail him for being the (known) son of the headhunter. and it wouldn't be the first time a psychopath pretended to be nice! anyway, at least one thing's for sure, this show has piqued my curiosity.

ohhh okay. i was confused about his reasoning. in ep 5, it seemed like he was throwing dong shik under the bus. then the convo in ep 6 didn’t really 100% clear things up for me. thanks for this!

sorry i meant reporters! i didn’t really understand what his “tip” was. that the police were arresting Dong Shik?

i'm so confused. can someone explain the confrontation about tipping off the **reporters? idk if the original dialogue was just lost in translation but i didn't get why the tipper did what he did.

i'm waiting until an episode where i don't find any of the leads or their behaviour annoying. lol. it's still generally somewhat entertaining so i'm hanging in there.

same thoughts! the way the last two episodes unfolded made me think that everyone was involved somehow but lds became the designated scapegoat.

i personally prefer yeo jin goo in non-romcom dramas. love the chemistry of our two leads here!

this was the most stressful drama i've ever had to watch! it literally took me several weekends to finish it because the suspense was too much for me but also too good to be dropped :)) i have to say though, while the thriller bits did have me on the edge of my seat, the heaviest episode for me was the finale. like, damn. overall, this show is a masterpiece and def worth the stress!

i definitely have qualms about so yong and bong hwan's ending but not to the extent that it makes me hate the finale altogether. this is still, by far, my favourite historical drama. well, it's the only one i've watched (and thoroughly enjoyed) from beginning to end anyway because i dropped all other historical dramas from too much stress. lol. the actors were amaaaaaaazing—especially our queen and king. i am literally grieving that this is over. so far, my best watch in 2021. idk how i'll move on now :(
