As an overthinker, I’m super confused at the ending, I mean, if she’s trapped in the house, she couldn’t…
It's definitely messy but I saw it as the first ending being the scenario we saw from adult Seo Yeon's POV based on what she did and those chain of events. Seo Yeon's problem is she can't return to the past and hurt Yeong Suk, and she can't ignore her either. What she fails to do is find the current Yeong Sook, she just keeps trying to stop her in the past to prevent her from hurting anyone else but empowers her instead. Her biggest mistake is giving her the real info to stop her from getting caught. That's when everything changes and she is really free!
In the first ending, we see the mom and Yeong Sook appear dead from the fall at the end of that which gives Seo Yeon a chance to be saved (or escape), but we never see what happens after the fall, we only know the mom was hurt but survived.
It seems during that scenario that Yeong Sook who never got caught wakes up in a changed reality too, with perfected serial killer tendencies. Since Seo Yeon only remembers her original life she doesn't ever know exactly what has changed, I assume Yeong Sook is the same. Yeong Sook has to research what happened to change things and is able to warn herself that she could die before she actually dies (which would make the older version disappear once she dies). This is the one time both POVs/realities overlap.
The second ending is Yeong Sook's new timeline POV, which is separate from Seo Yeon's. This time she tells her young self to keep the phone with her no matter what which again gives her the upper hand to survive after the fall and kill the mom. Now Seo Yeon is sucked out of her happy ending and wakes up again in a reality she doesn't understand, but knows she can't escape Yeong Sook yet!
We never really see the details that lead to these new realities. That's the part that makes it more confusing, but also more interesting, at least to me.
I hate that this woman keeps lying to the child like they were abandoned when she hid having her from him for 14 years! They are really stretching this out!
I just started this and Woo Joo’s temper is the issue? Am I the only one thinking that she’s actually pretty calm considering lol. This is how I know I’m American. This show is about to diagnose me with a disorder. Ha!
