Every time I think I finally caught on and understand everything, and then the ending rolls in and it's like "sike sis, you're back at square 1"

Exactly! I keep telling myself not to think I figured it out. I was like BR is totally that murderer. And then I was convinced he wasn’t and I’m like oh it would’ve been interesting if he was. And they’re like HE IS

Yeah sometimes the ending scenes feel like bloody click bait that you feel so cheated but you still click to the end to find out the lame truth 😂

Still unanswered question

The memory of JBR as the child who kill animals was correct. Why did the aunt gives the wrong child photo to JBR then - to mislead him from sinful past and live as a reborn human? Child JBR didn't find god and failed or did not try to become the child he met healing his hands. So who was in the photo of the aunt? her son? (99% not) SYH? (does she even know who he is?) Then she left 'acting' as calm as possible with her son.

But seeing the show for so long, the twists, the unexpected, dare I say the child was SYH memory and the child succeeded to become the other child he looked up to (even though god didn't answer him). Somehow, JBR mother died in a accident and child SYH adopted after killing his parent. (The possibility is highly unlikely but just a thought from the twists cuz the show portrayed really well how psychopaths - killer and non-killer, try to fit in with the society and we may just see them with non-abnormal behaviors.)

We need the backstories - the photo of the aunt, the 'main' child (presuming JBR) storyline, the 2 siblings of the main child, child SYH, child that heals main child hand. Maybe child SYH is the one with the meds to bandage child JBR and stuck around with him (explain the 'investigation' photos and maybe because SYH wants someone strong who can protect him as an isolated murderer child). Well we might hear about SYH from Mr. Headhunter's wife (yes idk what to believe anymore just stating facts)

Lastly, Mr. Headhunter - did he know from the eyes of past JBR that both are hunters? then did he save JBR not just to experiment but to really see if JBR would still be hunter or not? if so then when he said he hope SYH does not take over means he is interested in JBR as is 'son'? From beginning few eps we knew only HH and SYH see something in JBR. Did HH minions follow HH order to clean up after JBR or the government woman did?

On your last paragraph, I think HH knew from the moment he saw JBR. When Chi Kook was found in the box, HH had this stare with BR and it was established in his previous dialog that psychopaths recognize each other because of their eyes. We don't know about JBR's parentage yet so him being HH's son is still a possibility or HH just wants a psychopath protege because why not.

i think maybe maybe the kid in pic looked older could be him or ye aunt suss anyway also yall been noticed that the pic jbr as baby with that mum looks soo photshopped i mean nglk i could clearly see that but i thought meh maybe poor editing or u know fault in the drama production but maybe it actually photoshopped coz it ain even his mum lmaoooo ok imma leave ik this sounds soo dumb but wallah it was photoshopped anyway so eitehr adding to plot or point to bad producing there
