If I remember correctly the events from season 1, Lady Maeda was just jealous of Seishin's beauty and also I think the man she liked (Chae Ok's dad) chose Seishin instead of her or something like that... So yeah she's a great villain but her reasons for all of this are pretty lame lol

I don't think there is any particular reason, apart from the fact that she knows his face, so he wants her dead at all costs so she will not tell anyone... I guess the first time was because she was here at the wrong time and place and it was purely coincidence (unless I missed something lol)

This is possible, at first I was sure it was Akiko who drank the water but there seem to be multiple theories on MDL about the ML drinking from the cup instead of her... I guess we'll have to wait and see haha

That is a very good reply, you covered everything, thank you :)

I think she purposely asked him to find different objects all around town just to continue seeing him, with her husband having a lover and her living in a environment that seems very lonely, he was maybe her only "companion" who didn't talk to her with fear... But he was just doing his job lol

That is true, I just don't understand why she couldn't tell the military to put her in another part of the hospital, more secure and less dangerous, because Akiko was put in so much danger, it was a "miracle" that the baby survived at all

My only guess is that she did love him, in a weirdly toxic way ^^' So she still wanted to protect him despite him being an "enemy" and wreaking havoc in the hospital

I agree, but I think she did get injected with something at some point ? Even if we don't know exactly what it was...

I agree with your whole comment here and to reply to your question, I did wonder about that too... But I guess if they all had guns, the fight wouldn't even last 2 seconds lol. But on a more serious note maybe they only use knives to show respect to the tradition ? Just a speculation...

She liked that fact that he was all about money lol and didn't let "emotions" turn him into a weak human... that was before he fell in love with the FL at least

It seems it also involved a man (maybe Seishin's husband ? or another one who "betrayed" Lady Maeda for the FL's mother) But we don't know the details... I hope there will me more answers in season 2

I don't understand why Lady Maeda brought Akiko into the hospital and insisted on keeping her alive at least until her baby was born if she didn't want to "experiment" on the baby after that... I was sure it was her main motive (also because she didn't want her husband to live happily with his lover) but in the end she couldn't care less about the baby, so why did she "protect" her ??? I just had this thought in my head after completing the last 3 episodes...

A perfect reply !! Thank you, it makes total sense :)

I agree with you, I also think this scene was too much lol but I guess the writers wanted to portray the fact that Chae Ok acts on her emotions, even if she seems calm and professional at first glance... It also explains why she's adamant in saving her mother even after all these years... And surely they also wanted to make the ML greatly impacted by their first encounter, but indeed it was still a weird scene...

In the last ep, after they saved all the prisoners etc, one of the resistance's man talks to the co-owner of the golden house (the grandma) and she says that Tae Sang is the one to talk to if you want money, land, and even "people's lifes" (I don't remember her exact words) so does it mean that he was actually involved in the resistance before that ?? Even if he didn't want to join the actual group ? I wonder if I understood that part correctly

If we take into account the intro, it seems that the girl/woman falls into the sea and encounters the parasite here, so indeed there is a chance that it is just a creature that already lived there... and it appears that the parasite can either survives in water or in a host... Ahhh I really wonder how they're gonna explain all this lol

But the spores are created by the monster to protect itself I think ? So the spores wouldn't exist if the monster didn't exist first...? Or maybe I didn't understand that part lol

That is true... But I hope we'll get to see how they managed to discover the parasite because the parasite in itself doesn't seem like an experiment, more like an actual living thing that existed before the war... Did they actually caught an host "running in the wild", managed to capture it and took it to experience on it in the Manchurian lab, like you said ?

Oh that makes sense !! Thank you :)

Maybe it was already discussed in the comments here but I wonder how the intro is tied to the actual story ? Because in the story it seems that the japanese created the monster but in the intro I got the feeling that the creature was already alive before that ? Like an alien maybe ? Or did I miss something ? Also, the girl in the intro, who is she ? The FL's mother maybe ?
