Hehehe I have some similar thoughts as you and shared it in this comment [contains spoilers] - this was what I…
I binged till Ep 7 yesterday and starting Ep 9 now. Clearly can rule out Chief Yang Jeong Ho (Suspect #2 in my original post). Suspect 1 and 3 are most SUS.
I just am about to start Ep 9 - AND It is quite obvious that the person they have caught is DEFO not the KILLER. They probably got caught on purpose to SAVE themselves from the real killer cause they probably sensed that they are next to be killed.
They were on my original suspect list - when I was on Ep 2, but overtime I realized they are not the ones cause they are too obvious of a choice. It cannot be that easy - I hope the drama-makers don't do so, will be a bummer!
Boon/Bane? Genius - but at the same time, a smidge disappointed cause it is not a MAJOR twist as one would have thought but rather so obvious. I am still enjoying this but this is the curse of watching too many suspense/thrillers - the usual things won't work EVER - it is not surprising or shocking anymore 😅
Absolutely! If you like a show that keeps you guessing / who-dunnit kind of suspense, and will make you be at the edge of your seat in every episode, and you are ready to binge cause this drama narrative will make you watch one episode after another - then yes this drama is for you and will suggest to watch!
yeah everytime as her cloths change her nail colour changes nd definitely its cute... even i love her dressing…
He is worth the simp - I have been following his journey since he was Jun the maknae of U-kiss, and I have loved every role he has played as actor. And this year 2025 just feels like his year - with the diverse roles he has changed into - just amazing. He is worth the hype/simp/love and fame - so well deserved. I could write sonnets/essay for him - but I will stop 😂 you get the drift, am sure.
So 2 episodes to go and I really have no idea who the murderer is. I eliminated 2ppl: "Curry Kim" because he´s…
Hehehe I have some similar thoughts as you and shared it in this comment [contains spoilers] - this was what I could guess on an hunch after I finished Ep 2. A lot has changed but I still feel these suspects remain.
Holy mackerel this rollercoaster!!!And I am here for the ride!!I have stayed awake all night binging because it…
I am yet to reach Ep 9 - I binged it today and finished till Ep 7 (writing this on Sunday) and keeping the rest to watch the next 2 days, before last 2 eps air on Wednesday - so that there is no gap for me.
But even until here - I know Curry Kim is innocent for sure, I am still not 100% sure about Yoon Euna/I Na. And yes the rest looks like a murky situation as this could be something far bigger than we know.
dramas like this ❤️❤️❤️❤️will NEVER get bored of them!
Absolutely right! They keep you on the edge and make you think "lets watch one more episode" and before you know it you have sacrificed sleep and other work but then binged an excellent drama 😊
If each week airs 1 episode and it has total 11 episodes, how does it end on June 4? 2 episodes are still left.
Not entirely sure - but even I was waiting for all eps to air before binging it. But then I saw that 6 eps were dropped together on May 21, then 3 more on May 28. Now 2 eps (final) will be out on June 4.
Hopefully it will solve the mystery and not lead up to multiple seasons (At least not for this case, I don't mind another adventure(s) in future seasons)
Just finished Ep 2 - and I have my list of suspects. I know it is too early to predict, and I could be completely…
#Suspect 1: Choi San | Chances: Medium Reason: He just seems off - why did he join the force so late + he seems to be scatter-brained and goofy on purpose, like trying to put off people on his trail while being in the midst of the action? He happens to be dealing with CCTVs and first on scene as a maknae which makes him the power to change/tamper with things.
#Suspect 2: Chief Yang Jeong Ho | Chances: Low Reason: He seems too nonchalant, and a person who probably has seen a lot of bad dealings happen in the judiciary and police and therefore taken this role of Puzzle Killer to serve justice in his own way? Plus another character who can keep his calm but turn into a psychopath - the actor is another talented person who can pull such characters.
#Suspect 3: Noh Jae Won {The Other Psychiatrist} | Chances: High Reason: He has done sus roles like this before, he maybe a psychiatrist but he just gives off those vibes of a serial killer.
#Suspect 3.5: Lee Seung Ju (The Main Lady Psychiatrist) | Chances: High Reason: She is one of the people who knows about Ena's history and gets to know the cases as well from her during the treatment. It is like a killer getting a feedback for their work done. She also fits the bill of being calm and cool. From an actress perspective - WHY is she added as SUPPORT CAST - clearly sus - to avoid suspicion? Also given she is a great actress, this could be her first break through as a antagonist?
#Suspect 4: Yoon Ena | Chances: Medium Reason: She has been the killer all along and just throwing us an audience off as well as everyone in the drama. Either purposely or she has a dissociative disorder - and she does not remember herself as being the killer.
#Suspect 5: Unknown entity - someone who has been a victim of all these people who will be the 9 puzzles. Maybe someone who was bullied by them or his family/loved ones were made to suffer or he is clearly unrelated and like Johan Liebert who wants to create chaos and is experimenting.
UPDATE: What is the motive though and link is with ONE CITY. But then what is the reason? The killer's family was killed/uprooted in the construction of the buildings? Or were they promised the apartment but not given? Or was the killer's family part of the planning committee of ONE CITY but was betrayed and the profits were therefore looted by the people dying as part of the Puzzle?
And Chief Yang Jeong Ho must have to know them through the orphanage - as maybe the killer was raised as an orphan after the above tragedy?
Shoutout to Gaus Electronics for bucking the stereotype and having a thriving, hilarious desi character!
You absolutely get me there - some dramas need patience and no distractions. Sometimes it gets delayed due to that but always remain on the radar. I hope I get to watch it and other such dramas that I have been preciously holding off SOON - thanks again for sharing how comforting it was for you ❤️
yeah everytime as her cloths change her nail colour changes nd definitely its cute... even i love her dressing…
It is super cute - inspired me to paint my nails, as I binge the show LOL And yes - the overall character dressing style is also great - it reminds me of the Japanese anime " The Millionaire Detective Balance: Unlimited" main character.
Also - I love the man in your DP 😍 and am sure so do you! #LeeJunYoung
