The have 3 days when they are in the space kind of between death and living. That's the time when living people can see them in living world (if they have the ability to see dead people) and when they can see and communicate with comatose patients in the afterlife. When they die and 3 days passes and the funeral is hold, they will move on to afterlife - they stop being able to interact with living or comatose patients.

Whatever secret she has, she took it to afterlife. I am certain detective got her to move on, that's why he put her picture in the "case closed" drawer.

i think the pending case was more about the ghost and then the detective taking over the "ghost detective" role. He was the one to find the ghost of the girl and get it to move to after life (hence then he took her photo from his desk and moved it to close case drawer. The sequence with the teen ghost also was there to kind fo explain why ghost would travel to world of living and what happens next. At least that's how I understood it.

not sure if it's supposed to lead anywhere but I agree it "lack closure", but it felt deliberate. What I wrote about it earlier:

"Then we have Ju Hyun Ju - what seems like a good resolution, weirdly feels incomplete, without the closure for the teen. Being separated from her mother, when she desperately wanted to stay in the afterlife with her makes me question if she even can live a normal life. Not getting treated for delirium she lives in a constant state of confusion - what is real, what is not. She is in a daze, not being able to connect with the people around her, she refuses to connect. She lives in her past memories that block her from moving on. I sadly struggle to see how she can reach the point of living a normal life."

IF she is able to get better she might lead a similar life to Kwon Yeong Ji tho. Using her new ability to help ghosts...

She showcased true honesty, loyalty, and love towards the man by wanting him to stay alive. < but she wanted something in return. She got disappointed, sad and resentful when she did not. Now would she guide him to light shop is she knew he would not remember her after waking up? Personally, I do not think she would. I also think him dying would actually be better for both of them. From how the story was told and structured, I do think they both were destined to die, but her will forced him to stay alive and the result of that is tragic in all ends. I feel bad for all the characters presented. They had to deal with such a tragedy, no matter what I say right now, I cannot even be sure what choices I would make - coz you never know unless you are in the situation yourself.

Her keeping him alive made me think about the family members who disagree with euthanasia, even if the person dying wants it. Their love for the person and their will for them to be alive longer is stronger than said person actual feelings and consequences of keeping them alive. Also... not everyone can move on. She did not. Many people did not, that's why they became ghost in the world of living, and that's why the detective basically has to force them to move on...

Anyway, for a short drama like that, it had so much depth I am honestly in love.

i'm fairly sure he had amnesia caused by brain injury.
Do I feel bad for her? Yes. Do I also think she is a bit selfish? Yes. If she kept him alive just coz she loved him, just because she wanted him to stay alive, she would not be said he does not remember her. Honestly, if I knew the memory of me would cause a person I love so much hurt when they are already in pain, I would be glad they don't remember me.

Also, he had no will to leave honestly. She literally forced him to survive...I find their situation the least clear cut and easy to digest. Honestly tragic in all ends.

Not gonna lie, when they revealed a rescue dog died to protect the dude, I literally screamed: bitch you need to wake up, A DOG DIED SO YOU CAN LIVE!

He basically took the role of the guardian keeping the world of living safe from ghost. He kind of became ghost hunter to either help or force them to move on to afterlife. The same way the father took over the role of the lady in the light shop, he took over the job from the guy who saved his life - he died saving the detective so now someone else has to take over his responsibilities. Since the Detective can see ghost after experiencing near death experience, and has the skill as a detective and is really perceptive, he fits the job a lot. It also gives him purpose in a life that seemed lacking any,

She did no accept her death and did not move on to afterlife. From what I understand, if you don't move on, you come back to world of living as a ghost. I'll copy what I wrote in my review if you don't mine:

"Lee Ji Yeong at the end became a vengeful ghost. The sadness of being forgotten by the man she loved, by the man that she died for was too much to handle. When I watched where her and Kim Hyun Min ended, I kept thinking: maybe her determination to keep him alive was just a selfish act. Maybe he should have died. Maybe them staying together in the afterlife would be their happy ending. Now all that’s left is pain and regret."

I think you will get it all by the end. They slowly explain things in the second half.

And Yi Chen has a baby face 😂 it took me a minute to accept that hahaha

This is for sure a show that is better to watch with little to know prior knowledge of the story.
For me even vaguely talking about the presented themes would be a spoiler that tells you too much about what you are about to experience.

Just go and watch it. It's a 10/10 for me and I'm so glad I knew nothing but the poster and the cast before I picked it up. It's a story that it;'s best to discover and explore yourself, without anyone telling you what it is, how it goes, what to expect and how to prepare.

It is eerie and creepy at times, but it is not a full on horror. It's not just a supernatural flick that's fun to watch during late evening or night. It's a journey, emotional and touching. It's great guys, just watch it 😭

But if you saw it and want to read some more in depth take about the story, i did write criminally long review 😂: https://mydramalist.com/profile/theKate/reviews/412298

.be prepared with tissues for the finale !< finale? I was crying for the whole second half non stop 😭 eps 4-8 created a whole ass river of tears and many headaches.

Honestly, the way everything just click right and connected so well by the end - masterfully crafted story 🔥

The tension was amazing, but they honestly had no idea how to truly use it. That candle kiss was just a joke. I was so close to dropping the show when it happened lol

dude said he is not interested in women, said he cannot lie with woman. He said he is like the kids he is saving and the ones they described were part of lgbtq community, including his right hand. He literally said he is like them 🙂

I think it's overall lgbtq. around 2% people people are intersex, with the number of kids they showed helping, it makes more sense it's overall minority in terms of lgbtq not just intersex.

i did not pay that much attention to ages so when Jun Seo called Yi Chen hyung I lost it 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I forgot how last episode ended, but then the scene started and I'm like: OH FUCK THAT'S RIGHT, THE PSYCHO BITCH IS IN TOWN 😂

SKFJGHJSD WAIT THE FIGHTER IS GAY???? Well, that's one way to avoid love triangles. Also, fun how the performer artist is straight and strict fighter is gay. I approve how not stereotypical it is.

Why is Storyteller hurting himself so much, why did he come to the wedding lol also, the fuck is he going to think seeing her marry a dude that looks EXACTLY like him lol Knowing him, he will go full delulu assuming she married Fighter coz she cannot forget him 😂

Damn... but Fighter and Lady Ok are such a good partners 😭 This whole "knowing each other secrets" and "fighting together for common people" and being this awesome power couple 😭

WAIT HE IS LITERALLY A LEADER OF A GROUP THAT RESCUES KIDS THAT ARE LGBT AND GIVES THEM HOME AND TEACHES THEM HOW TO FIGHT? OMG YES.

call her out. She seeks help but only for "her people", while ignoring struggles of others. It's fine for her to risk her life for servants, but it's not for him for trans and gay kids? Girl needs to reevaluate her morals.

"- They cannot be protected by the law because no laws were devised for them.
- That means there is no law that says they must be killed"
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES BITCH! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥But also, this whole scene can be so fucking triggering. The whole sequence is literally everyone saying trans and gay people are no really people, calling to have them beheaded and killed etc.

Dude legit went: before i am your son, or her husband, I am the leader of gays in this town 😭😭😭

wait... is the Storyteller going to pretend to be Fighter long term? lol

I get it... we are only 4 episodes in, things CANNOT go smoothly yet, but it does not change the fact the ending of the episode made me so fucking mad 🙂

theory time 😂

THE LAST SCENE IS WHAT I AM HERE FOR! The angst, him going nuts with worry, her almost dying! YES MORE!

Also, now we fucking know the cute assistent is it. The fucking black jacket pushing her, when he was standing right next to her? Also, him being all security special force whatever, he would remove her from that dangerous situation before it even escalated to the fall. Bitch is sus and one of the bad guys for sure. Either that, or he is just as stupid as ML 😂😂

Also, I cannot believe I am writing this show 🤡 First the whole ML being adopted to replace the son, now him basically quoting me during the phone talk with Hee Ju about marrying her to protect her and give her freedom, and keeping a distance because he knew he will have to let her go at some point since it's not what she wants and he did not want to get attached. LIKE I SAID IT AFTER LIKE EPISODE FUCKING 2 LOL

As for the real son, I do think he died or was injured accidentally. I also think he might have been killing the kids from orphanage since he is little fucking psychopath. NEW FUCKING THEORY.

The whole team against Baek Sa Eon is not really after Baek Sa Eon, but they want revenge on real son who was killing the kids from the orphanage. They think he is the real son, the psychopath. Or maybe he was "just" torturing the kids and now they want to take revenge (the twin obviously has some scars). Like that little shit was obviously a psycho killing fishes, wanting to kill the cat, the mom read all them books about changing the innate nature of temperament. BORN FUCKING PSYCHO 😂😂😂😂
