Episode 6, and holy shit. Real Hee Seong up and about (in a flashback)! And it was him behind the wheel👀 I didn’t get any weird vibes off him just yet, plus he seemed genuinely worried about Hyun Soo (well, he did just run him over… lol). Since HS asked for no hospitals, I think Hee Seong will bring him home to doctor dad so he can patch him up. I previously assumed the car accident would be part of the reason behind the Baek family mystery. But now, what if Hyun Soo actually recovers at their home in secret, and he and real!HS develop a bond of sorts? Or at least are on good terms before shit goes down. As a side-note, I wonder if real!HS was in a gang, his clothes were flashy enough, lol. The parents continue to be shady as fuck. And for the first time, we get confirmation that the mother and her agitation is the reason they’re all in this mess. However, this came from the father’s mouth and I don’t trust him one bit. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some kind of gaslighting going on (a la the first case from Ep1). Also, I cannot believe the mom called Eun Ha a little rat. I will not stand for this slander!! I know HS doesn’t really feel anger, but I’m glad he defended his daughter. Hyun Soo and Hae Soo seem to have a real bond. I hope so because she was probably the only one who accepted him as he is. He only had her. I doubt either sibling knew about their father. (And HS confirms this, at least on his end, later.) If they did, they wouldn’t have let Moo Jin film so freely in their home and they definitely would not have let him go down to the basement. While the last episode made me doubt Hae Soo immensely (I’m sorry!), this episode reversed it. We see that Moo Jin was an asshole when he broke up with her, and Hyun Soo vouches for her. Someone else deliberately gave the charm to her, and she in turn gave it to HS. The accomplice is most likely a man (from the eyewitness account + voice message), who has to be from the same hometown. Normally, I don’t mind spoilers and even actively seek them out. I wish I had refrained here as I spoiled myself for the reveal. I wonder what I would’ve thought of JW’s actions prior if I didn’t already know that she knew. I think it was obvious something was going on with her, though that could be attributed to her worry and trauma from her husband nearly dying in front of her (which was of course part of the reason). But then - THEN - we get the reveal that she knew, woo boy. The conversation before that, when JW and HS talk in his hospital room, has to be my favorite scene from the episode. There are so many layers, especially in JW’s dialogue. She knows, and she’s saying one thing, but if you rewatch it with the knowledge that she knows, she means something else (or at least, not just that). While HS doesn’t process it all normally, he’s so in tune with JW that he knows something is wrong when she comes into the room. The emotions were so raw. She doesn’t want to be alone, to live without him, all while struggling with the fact that he’s been lying to her about his identity. HS wants to talk, to make it right, he wants to know what he can do, but this is something he can’t fix. God, the look on his face when she pulls away, and then when she leaves the room… Inject this into my veins. She knows. SHE KNOWSSSSS. And Hyun Soo TOLD her. What we think are his thoughts in the beginning of the episode is him talking to his wife. Of course, he was out of it, but she still heard it from his own mouth. (“I only believe what I see.”) I love that. I did not expect the reveal to go down that way. And my other prediction was right! Well, I was wrong about JW figuring it out for herself. But she does know and she’s investigating on her own, and at the same time trying to cover this up because she realizes how Bad this is. If it gets out, there’s no going back. And she wants to be absolutely sure of his crimes before she possibly has to do the unthinkable: arresting her husband and bringing him to justice. Meanwhile, he’s going about things normally after being discharged, probably thinking that things are okay, all while his wife continues to investigate him. In the next episode, she’s going to take him to his old home, to his father’s basement. She’s probably going to reveal that she knows, and she’s going to give him a choice. This is most likely where we get the last scene from the trailer - where he slowly approaches her and puts his hand on her neck. I wonder what prompts this because we know he doesn’t murder willy-nilly (or at all). If he’s not going to off the people who have actually tried to kill him, he’s not going to do anything to the woman who has been his safe harbor for the last fourteen years. The bag with Hyun Soo’s things… from the preview, we know she listens to the cassette player. (I’m actually curious as to what HS listens to - we see it first in a flashback with restaurant guy, and then even further back at his father’s funeral. Something that comforts him?) But whatever happens after that, it leads her to burn the evidence of Hyun Soo in that bag. There’s that scene in the trailer where she’s staring into a bonfire, and we even get a shot of it. What leads her to this decision? She declares that she’s going to give him the punishment that he deserves… so is she doing this because she figured out the truth? Or for more selfish reasons? From what we know of JW’s character, I doubt the latter even if there’s a (slim) possibility. It would’ve been so easy for JW to freak, to think the absolute worst when she finds the blood and the zip tie in the basement. But she sees the old baby walker, and she - more than anyone in the world - knows things aren’t that simple. There’s something going on, but he’s not a psychopath, and she will get to the truth of things, even if it’s ugly. While Ji Won is dealing with the worst crisis of her life, Hyun Soo is being given the dirty work by his “father”. Typical. That’s a man who definitely won’t get his own hands dirty even if he orders the act itself. Hyun Soo’s conversation with the taxi driver might be my next favorite scene. The fact that HS asks him of all people about emotions… HS doesn’t get it, but he wants to understand JW and where she’s coming from. And the way this drama gave us another fake-out, making us think he was really going to kill him… all this isn’t good for my heart. I pity the taxi driver. Yes, his actions are inexcusable but at the heart of it, he is a man desperate to find his wife so he can send her off properly. He showed remorse for everything and was willing to die at HS’s hand, knowing he deserved it. The driver even realized he could’ve been wrong about Hyun Soo. There were only rumors and he didn’t really know him at all. It’s rather ironic that he’s one of the first characters to admit this onscreen. Sunbae, just when I had warmed up to you. I don’t like him again, lolll. He has good instincts and is obviously very skilled at his job. But he’s gonna be a pain when it comes to proving HS’s innocence. He’s going to believe the worst while JW will be trying to prove the opposite. Notice how he told JW to pick a side, and she chose neither (for now). JW’s hoobae continues to be precious, however. I don’t have much to say on Moo Jin, though of course his storyline uncovered the very important fact that there was most definitely an accomplice. Who has probably been roaming free this whole time. I can only hope this doesn’t (ONCE AGAIN, ugh) point in Hyun Soo’s direction, especially since MJ has a TV appearance in the next episode. Lee Joon Gi and Moon Chae Won both killed me this time around. This drama deserves more viewers and higher ratings so that more people can see their talent. Y’all, it’s only Episode 6, and it feels like a lifetime. The pacing of this drama is insane, I love it. It doesn’t adhere to the usual kdrama norm. It’s going into unknown territory, which makes it unpredictable. Fingers crossed that it doesn’t stumble, but the writer hasn’t given me any reason to doubt them yet, so I won’t. Till next week!

WINTER!!!!! i am being careful to avoid spoilers for this haha :) anyways!!! winter!!! tsumugi!!!! I just got at the part where he received the magic doll and ahhhhh I am so excited. also when they introduce the play script? I’ll really lose it then. anyways. I feel like homare would be perfect for the XD face and I am just... very glad he’s in this group I think it’d be a bit too serious otherwise lol? oh but I am living for the drama of it so. that’s also good. ummm let’s see. hisoka is great I just think I need a bit of time to know more abt him! and also the fact that tasuku calls taichi nanao is very nice it’s just like. idk he’s considerate. and then he’s lowkey an asshole at tsumugi but understandably so I can’t fault either! I’m realllllly excited for their conversation to come... oh and azuma!! his opening scene in autumn slapped and he’s so mysterious I’m intrigued. god I’m just realizing that now that I’m on winter once I wrap that up I’m gonna be able to understand the event plays... wowwwww!! ahhh anyways. super hype to figure out more!
WELCOME IN WINTER AAAAAAA
yes omg do blacklist my liveblog tag that’ll be for the best bc i ramble so much for them dLKFJDLFKDF
BUT WINTER!!! YES!
and omg the magic doll yessss!! so good!! Tsumu!! and the play yess!
AND TRUE HOMARE FITS SO GOOD and yesss he is essential to the troupe really, i just love what he brings to them, else yeah they’re all so serious, thanks god Homare is here to live up the situation dlfjdkfd
Hisoka is prob the one with the slowest build up out of all of them really, which is already dlkfjdl bc Winter has the slowest build up. Honestly i didn’t expect to care this much about Hisoka on my first read and then he just grew on me and well *waves at self* yeah things happened. (tho i’ll say i DID start to care about him in the Winter chapter, not with the events so it’s not like it’s not there in his intro either-)
AND TASU.. YEAH.. He’s soft toward Taichi... He tends to call most people by their last name (the only ones i have in mind that he doesn’t call by their last name are Tsumugi and Azuma (he calls him Azuma-san) i think? and the without last name gang, but i need to pay more attention to that) and i do think he does this out of respect but yeah with Taichi you can feel they have an history and i mean. he’s sweet and respectful with Taichi which i’m really soft for considering their starting situation..
but yeah with tsumu he’s. yeah. Everything will make sense in time, tbh Tasuku took a long time to grow on me but again *waves at everything* stuff happened. 
AZUMA IS SO GOOD YES his intro in Autumn was already *chief kiss* so to see him more in Winter... gnhhhh Azuma... Azumaaaaaa.... now that’s a chara who didn’t “grow” on me i was ride or die on first glance mann.
ANYWAY I really hope you’ll enjoy Winter and all that’s coming for them :3c 
i’ll be perfectly honest i liked Winter on my first read but it was probably my least favorite troupe (as in they were good but i liked the others three better), then it’s just that the more i thought about it and the more i went on the events, so many things clicked for me and i’ve fell so in love with them now i’m Where I’m At Now, so it’s also why i worry about overhyping Winter because, yeah. But god my feelings for them now are off the charts so i cannot contain anything anymore dLKFJDFLK so i just hope you’ll at least enjoy your first read through and then maybe we’ll see further down the line how you feel for them but yeAH...
AND YEAH!!! Once you’re done with Winter i can send you the drive and you’ll be able to bing all of the event stories, waiting to unlock act 2 ahah. so many stories available to you then and i cannot wait for you to experience them all :3c
i’m so glad you seem to have fun and want to see more tho!! i’m so so happy that you got invested into it aaahh
hoping you’ll enjoy the ride as it goes!! keep me updated ;OOO
