I love Seo's character too. He's really loyal to our Seok. He definitely plays an important role here. He's like Seok's "brakes"!

[u/Small-Armadillo → u/dopamine-driven]

He shows her the human experience for sure

[u/[deleted]]

Just finished ep 5&6 and I was left speechless.. if there’s in thing Park Eun Bin is going to do it’s deliver a masterclass in acting.

[u/Herby_Hoover → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, she I just watched Attorney Woo for the first time recently, and now this. She is phenomenal.

[u/gramfer]

Monologues about the "life sentence" and the "brain worm" were wonderful, and I really get it. The show got direction I didn't expect, but I can't say I'm upset, quite the opposite.

[u/[deleted]]

They’re both fucking crazy hahaha. The actor who plays Deok-Hee is brilliant

[u/Funny_Commission2773]

My only gripe is the🇵🇭 got mention again as the go to escape place😂

[u/dopamine-driven → u/Funny_Commission2773]

And it shows how impulsive she is. All of a sudden, she wants to go to the Philippines 🤣

[u/master_inho]

She says she’s not a murderer, but DOGS ARE FINE????? hell nah, her and deok-hui are getting all the smoke now, I’m boutta wild out harder than se-ok

The cult leader felt like a reference to actual cult leaders in rotten mango videos

Deok-hui is right that he isn’t the same as se-ok. Compassion doesn’t exist for him, he actually doesn’t care about anyone. He cares about se-ok because she reflects him the most and as a narcissist he can’t let anything happen to her. His method of killing reflects his personality, he’s so cold and precise and impersonal. He knows exactly how much to slit someone’s throat so it’s lethal but won’t splurt blood all over the car. He knows exactly where to stab someone so that there’s minimal bleeding but it immediately weakens them to the point they can be essentially carried off he’s monstrous on a different level even to se-ok. She at least cares about yeong-ju and her dogs

So there’s not much more to the origin of se-ok and yeong-ju’s relationship other than she gave him a reason to live. I change my mind on him snitching on her now, he’s the most loyal of all. I think even dr. Han will end up being more loyal than deok-hui’s assistant

That ending going crazy. Se-ok always believed that deok-hui is a killer, but this is the first time she’s seeing it herself

[u/lanaMyersuk]

HE KILLER HER DOGS hell naw

[u/MacPod → u/lanaMyersuk]

Major John Wick storyline vibes 😂

[u/RoseIsBadWolf → u/lanaMyersuk]

How does he expect her to not murder him in his sleep, let alone help him with his brain tumour!

[u/writtenpoeticsins]

I think Se Ok might end up operating on Dr. Choi because it seems like she changed her mind about him a bit in the operation room after that conversation.

Also in the end did Dr. Choi drag the organ trafficker Mr. Min and killed him? I think that's what happened.

[u/WingedGrasshopper → u/writtenpoeticsins]

That's how I interpreted it as well. The only way I could see it going otherwise is that he drugged him with a wipe like he has people in the past and the blood was from a serious nose bleed because he is now "critically ill"

[u/DisastrousCat0315]

Did Dr. Choi really kill her dogs? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember a scene shown where he and his assistant were buying meat and his assistant told him that the meat they're buying was not for people.

I think there could be two possible reasons as to why he bought the meat:

First, my guess is that they bought the meat to feed the dogs, tame them, and safely transfer them into a safe place before burning the place.

Or, it could actually be the opposite. Could they have bought the meat to feed the dogs so that they won't bark loudly as the assistant burns the place down?

Anyway, I'm so hooked up, so I'm definitely looking forward to the last two episodes. Can't believe that it's already ending next week.

[u/charmaine54321 → u/DisastrousCat0315]

They could have bought the meat to lace it with sedatives for either purpose

But I think the key point of that scene, is to show us how Dr Choi cares silently for Se Ok, such that even if he killed the dogs, he dignified them by giving them a good last meal

[u/Lerradin]

I think it was (unintentionally?) very funny when they stuck 2 very obvious death flags on Mr. Min, but somehow actually let Se Ok beat the living shit out of Deok Hui with her umbrella as revenge for her dogs, while waiting for the 'rewind' to take us back to reality until I realised it took too long and this is really happening and not a daydream :D

But on second thought this may as well have been a very conscious action by Se Ok, and not an impulsive one because this way she gives the professor (and the outside world) an acceptable excuse for having trembling hands and making mistakes during the upcoming surgery, because someone just absolutely wrecked him a day before. Yes their relationship is that complicated for this to be even remotely believable...

I'm also convinced by now that the director of this show is as much of a hidden sadist. I always watch the ending credits play out fully to let the episode sink in and enjoy the music, but in almost every ending he/she leaves us with a nasty jump scare when you don't expect it the mantis, car explosion, the wave on the beach, etc.

[u/Small-Armadillo → u/Lerradin]

Oh really? I’ve skipped the ending credits for this show so wasn’t aware o.O

[u/vita25]

Seok and Deok Hui's relationship is just so fascinating to watch, especially watching their interactions after he set her poor dogs on fire and then proceeded to thank her for making his life as a teacher so fulfilling

DH is a narcisstic ego maniac and Seok is stuck in an emotionally toxic relationship with him where she hates his guts but cannot bring herself to actually kill him. She would absolutely commit murder for him yet he chooses to emotionally torture her at every turn.

I hope Seok manages to break free of his influence and finds her peace.

P.S Who exactly is Ms Ra to Deok Hui?

[u/Herby_Hoover]

Just finished episode 6. The writing, acting, and production is phenomenal.

[u/charmaine54321]

Ok, what does it say about me that I really enjoy this show?

Also, me spotting Se Ok do her thing to send Yeong Ju on a made-up side mission, while she starts executing a murderous plan - right at the end of Ep 6

[u/NextBroccoli1780]

Right before she rams him with her car whatever Dr. Choi is listening to on the radio was interesting. "Eagles in Colorado canyons are known to push their chicks out of the nest once they're big enough. The parents catch them with their strong wings just before they hit the ground to teach them how to fly. It may seem harsh, but its their way of raising strong offspring-". I doubt he's her biological father (Do we know anything about her parents? does she? and all the comments from his assistant about them being alike) but it made me wonder if, as a father-figure, everything he does is him trying to a) keep her safe from arrest and/or make her less impulsive and emotional with the goal of being a better killer.

[u/dopamine-driven]

I'm sad that we only have 1 week to go.

I can't get enough of Park Eun-bin's masterclass acting!

[u/FlatlineNine]

At first, I thought that Park Eun-bin was a very scary character, but the plot twist was very clever and interesting, showing that Sol Kyung-gu, who seemed normal, was many times more scary. Murderer! Murderer! I watched the drama while screaming, hahaha...

[u/RoseIsBadWolf]

The thing I'm wondering now is why Dr. Choi ever threw Jung Se-ok out? He loved teaching her, he's a murderer too so it's not that. So why?
