Aside from Hae Su's momentary "stupidity", I also find the sting operation lacking and the escape of the gang leader, absurd. While ep 11 speaks volume of the story and characters' progress, there's some weak plot lines here and there. Hope, this is redeemed overall when the series ends.

IKR. Backstory/flashback then the investigation of DHS. Possibly an attempt by BHS to kill the couple and getting caught/or dying in the process. The Baeks being exposed for what they did. Moo Jin and Hae Su ship finally sailing. And then happy ending? I see all these to happen in the 5 episodes but if that's all to it, they will be forced to drag the episodes (these can be shown in 2-3 episodes at most). Major plot twist is needed. I have faith in author-nim!

I honestly don't understand why she did that. Had it not crossed her mind that the Baeks are the not the most honest and straight people? They asked her brother to take over another person's identity. How is that being straight? Surely, she should have sensed something fishy about the Baeks. It would have been more believable if she had asked Moo Jin to help her investigate the mystery behind the band for he is a reporter after all and is normal to "ask" and "investigate." While the plot is really good, there's just some loopholes in the story.

MY THOUGHTS exactly. Too early for the big reveal.There's 5 more episodes and we already know the mystery? What else can we expect to happen in the remaining episodes if the big question was already answered? I am thinking that maybe BHS was the real culprit and DMS was only training him to kill. Or both could be middlemen like you mentioned. I am hoping for a major plot twist towards the ending or it might be a huge disappointment for me if all that is to show would be the couples' struggle against being put in jail and having BHS answer for his crimes. I am also eyeing a different accomplice/culprit based on gut feel.

I personally think that it was too early to reveal him as the accomplice so I am not 100% convinced. Perhaps, after revealing what happened after DHS got hit would help convince us. It is a little underwhelming because some viewers had predicted that BHS was the accomplice as far back as ep 6/7. I don't want to think the author would have wanted us to unravel the mystery early so I am still hoping for a major plot twist towards the ending. I am eyeing a different person as the accomplice.

Thank you clarifying the timeline. :)

I agree with BHS seeing DMS as a father figure. He might have been jealous of DHS as well, because he was determined to pin the crimes on DHS. I actually won't be surprised if it was BHS who did all the killings, with DMS, only training him.

There was not a lot of search results regarding BHS, but I assumed it was because the doctor had them removed so the fake identity wouldn't be discovered. The doctor could have also asked him to dye his hair blonde to avoid having the crimes traced back to him.

I wonder how much involvement the doctor has with the gang. He had a burner phone (which the gang only gives to clients). I wonder if BHS introduced the gang to him and became a client, or he only discovered the gang's presence after BHS worked with DMS.

A person would have no memory of what he has done in another persona, if he has a split personality disorder. There will be memory gaps after the new persona takes over. With BHS having memories of both killing and hitting DHS, I don't think he has this disorder. He is a psychopath for sure. He seemed to act normal in social situations but has a dark, sinister mind.

Nonetheless, still not 100% convinced he is the accomplice/culprit. I am keeping my eye on another person, based on gut feel. And if I am wrong and it turns out BHS is the accomplice, I can never become a detective. LOL.

So that could mean BHS was a volunteer at the hospital when he was young, with black hair(he was wearing the band at the funeral) and was still volunteering when he hit DHS ( he was blonde at that time and the pictures which Hae Su was showing him as blonde). Maybe the doctor had him changed the color of his hair to avoid detection and suspicion.

As much as I love this drama, there are loopholes in the story. I actually don't see the significance of the gang's leader escape in the story. Is he going to be the person to reveal who the accomplice was or that the doctor ordered him to kill DHS? Why was there only one policeman guarding the gang leader? Police always comes in twos. I would also assume that there will be a raid in the gang's headquarters. It is not like the police did not know about the building or if they didn't, they could have searched for it because it seems like they have narrowed down the places where they could be hiding in ep 10.

As for BHS being the accomplice, I am still a bit on the fence with that. There's a lot missing in his story so I am not yet 100% convinced. Considering this is dramaland, coincidences like BHS hitting DMS' own son is possible. He may very well be the real culprit too, with DMS, only training him to kill. This drama is frustrating but in a good way.

It's so ironic that DHS finds his peace at home now, when he became a troubled kid at his home with DMS. All that he needed was a stable life, home and family.

Oh Choi is so annoying! He is obviously still jealous and bitter about DHS and Ji Won ending up together!

All my questions now are all centered in what happened that night. Did BHS recognize DHS after hitting him? Did the parents know who DHS was because they were aware of BHS' involvement with DMS? How long was DHS out after his incident that BHS got into a coma after? Right when he woke up, the doctor agreed to have him take the identity and that question is WHY? BHS' hair was black when he was an accomplice. But when he hit DHS, he was blonde. When he attended DMS' funeral, his hair was black but when he was volunteering, and wearing the band, he was blonde. So was he changing his hair color to become undetected? Please refresh my memory if you can.

1. DMS does the killings with BHS (black hair)
2. DMS dies and BHS attends the funeral with black hair with the green band.
3. Hae Su saw the green band during the funeral with BHS having black hair.
4. When BHS was shown as a volunteer at the hospital, he was blonde.
5. When BHS hit DHS, he was blonde too.

I guess, he was volunteering since he was young so he had the band at the funeral and few years later, he was blonde in the pictures seen by Hae Su? Was it mentioned as to what year DMS died?

I also found it odd that if BHS was volunteering at the hospital all along, wouldn't people have recognized that his face changed when the fake BHS stepped in? Or they reasoned out that his face had changed after getting back from his military training?

I am still a bit on the fence with BHS being the accomplice/real culprit. It's too early to give that information away considering there's 5 more episodes.

FL annoying till the end. Haaist.

Did FL come clean to HaNee at all? If not, I won't bother watching the final ep.

When DHS finally said it, I felt so happy for JW. Like I was their friend who has been rooting for them. That admission by DHS will help him with his healing.

So I was wrong with who I thought was the accomplice. I am not gonna be a good detective. Lol. Superb acting by LJG! I am so glad that they took the time to talk about his past. I am annoyed at D. Choi. It's almost as if he wants to arrest him out of jealousy and bitterness ( Didn't Ji Won turn him down?). I don't understand the significance of the gang leader's escape in the storyplot. Also did the doctor know about the gang prior to BHS' involvement with DMS or it was BHS/DMS who introduced him to them? Did the mom cause BHS' coma to prevent him from killing? 5 episodes more to go and I hope for a happy ending!

He doesn't have ASPD. In ep 6, it was written in his psychological report that he was diagnosed of schizoid personality disorder which was actually closer to how he behaved at that time. It is confusing though because there's one episode where Ji Won mentioned Hyun Soo having ASPD and this was after she read the report. Don't know if it was just wrong translation. I personally believe that he was misdiagnosed right from the very start. He is a traumatized individual who has a lot of defense mechanisms and walls up.

Why was it reduced to 10EP only? Their press release before was 16EP. :(

I hope you'll try Reply 1988. You will root for him right from the beginning. His eyes speak a thousand words.

Can't wait! My Taek-ie heart is excited to see him!
