Aish what a place to stop. i have a feeling Amatatsu is the one that murdered his wife, but i hope i'm wrong cause Kunou saw both husband an wife as important parental figures (and at least in the manga we know he is an orphan, here he mentioned parents so idk..) and he is sad enough with the loss of one, knowing the other one is a bad-guy and at fault, might really break him. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************Furomitsu is adorable and the way she jumped out of the car, really wish she stop, stopping short and flirt more with Kunou (even though with his personality idk how he will react, might run the other way terrified) but her always thinking about Raika and getting discouraged is saddening to view. especially when neither party is interested or involved romantically with the other. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************mentioning Raika ugh this female with that code carp, anyone but Kunou would throw that book at her (yes talking about myself - i would), she can use words and speak normally so why - just cause

this was just sad and that's the main reason i steer clear of anything to do with child-abuse, well children and animal's, cause they so vulnerable and easy target's. no matter the conclusion it never takes away the bone deep sorrow that's left behind after viewing such content - well in my case. ****************************************************************************************from the previous ep there has been this underlining infuriation at the injustice going on and yeah both Kaneto and Roku r in the wrong. But when this started, they were both kids (who tend to view the world in black and white). they just knew that kids like them were suffering and wanted to help. they didn't think about the consequences of making children "choose", and how that would weight on their conscience. so yeah glad Roku finally got caught, but more so he can finally get help, then stop him ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also idk why we got that weird POV in the previous ep that made Kunou out to be a clueless airhead. but i guess it was to add to the thrill factor. here there is a bit more, like him noticing everything that was off with Roku - and yet the question is Why go to meet a guy u suspect isn't "all there" without some sort of back up. not really smart even though it turned out alright. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also Raika more or less told Kunou he had to solve the case, cause she was endanger or gonna die - thought she was gonna be a victim. but the conclusion was i guess, i'm sick i'ma die - so help me find out what happened to my "savior"?!? but she an enigma so whatever -

have to say i'm confused, yeah Long Jie alive and healthy - but the revelation that Jiang Jiang freaking ran him over - while Ren Yu even gave his license plate number, to show that he wasn't making sh*t up. and it all amounted to nothing? really?!? get Ren Yu doesn't "get" how bad that "accident" really was - but he get's life and death - death being the not good option. so why he been trivializing it idk.. now the whole class just brushes it over - even Long Jie and his best-buds and i'm sitting here so confused, like why?!? what is the writer director thinking??? not one student thought it should be a good idea to report to a teacher, let alone the cops??? ugh ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************and what anger's me more, is that Jiang Jiang has turn "evil master mind" why?!? he always trying to "get at" Long Jie? if i accidently ran over someone and they survived. i would thank my lucky stars, that i got away and i would steer clear of the individual - not start plotting their down-fall at every turn - so not getting the reasoning behind this plot... so much so it's taking away from the enjoyment at the lighter bits.

and that's all folks... not a boring moment - great acting, good plot - not always easy to stomach, but great character's made "u" keep coming back for more. but cause of the subject matter (for me) this was more then enough - as it wasn't easy being confronted by how evil humans can get, let alone what they can do to other's without a second thought.so yeah this was a great watch, but i donno if i will rewatch this anytime soon - if ever (but it goes without saying that if there is a 2nd season - i will be back ) *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************forgot to mention in the previous ep, that was surprised and worried seeing Detective Park (from the start of the season) make a "come back". but considering the 180 his character has done, let alone how warmly Song treated him, i guess u could say he redeemed himself and it was a nice, coming a full circle. ****************************************************************************so sad, wont be seeing the good-guys that made this show a joy, but also kinda relieved - cause the psycho's and everything they "go up to" was depressing, saddening - heck demoralizing to watch. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - only me wondering what Woo Ho Sung did to those 2 dogs he had caged?!?

aish what a emotional roller coaster this ep was, and knew that the victim's mother (from the 1st ep) would be the one to remind Song why he can't give-up on his job. also hearing him admit that he was worried that he would turn into a monster, cause he was around then so much was sweet. as it goes to show what a good person he really is. but that's also the reason i never thought for a sec, he would turn. **********************************************************************************************people who r sure of themselves r the ones that tend to "fall", the ones that constantly second guess themselves and worry about, if they might make a mistake - indicating a conscience, will never turn. ********************************************************************************************the one thing these psycho's have in common is that they lack conscience - they can't empathize with their victim's and so can do whatever... ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also have to say i really love Song's mother - seen her in other drama's and of course there a ton of other actresses that were great in matriarchal roles - but she has this silent powerful presence - where only with her facial expressions, u "get" how much she loves, cares and worries about her son, while also being Very proud of how he has turned out. really great acting - not there is a lack thereof in this drama, that's why we all so hooked - pity it's coming to an end.

put of watching this ep, cause i read all the comments mentioning Song's breakdown. and even though i knew it was coming (considering how he was "cracking" in the previous ep) wasn't ready to view it. so even though it was bad, wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. this was a Very dark, morbid ep and yet it was really good (if u get what i mean).also found it ironic that i "hurt" at Nam Ki Tae's childhood trauma and life-story in general. cause in-spite of all the depraved psycho's we've seen to date, he is the one - that really got under my skin - like hated him with a vengeance. so feeling any compassion for him - didn't think i would have it in me - of course that feeling evaporated the sec he went on describing his addiction/enjoyment in killing etc.. obvious dude is nuts, but also reaffirms what sick, pathetic nobody he is - cause in all his murder's, he never went looking for the guys that hurt him or other's like them, but Always search for "easy" weaker victim's. really sickening having to sit there - remain calm and let him go on and on... *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the reporter deserved to get his ass beat - he and his ilk deserve worse. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the new psycho - only me who will play deaf and dumb especially when i'm all alone at night, at a bus stop and not be able to help strangers? so getting into a stranger's car pssh not on ur life. also that scene for whatever reason, reminded me of "I Saw The Devil" is this case connected to that movie's plot? (even though that movie isn't based on real life - that i know, so idk just a feeling ).

think the preview was misleading, but watching the epilogue made me that much madder at Ha Yeon. 1st off didn't think that was how he was going to react (or how the scene would play-out), though it would freak him out seeing both his sister's doppelganger and Yeon Seok. wondering WTH was going on etc... but him getting flashbacks - that he is the girl in the pic and he still confused who Yeon Seok is in-love with? really?!? yeah Yeon Seok was drunk and pointed at the sister - but he "got" with a dude cause he knows the soul is of the person he loves - like what else proof u need that someone loves u, regardless of what and who u r - purely loves U?!? he even recollected their past encounters, which would lead u to "get" why he reacted the way he did at the start - but nah he rather be boohooing in Jin Hyeok arms (who must be a sniffer dog) dude can smell out Ha Yeon "in need" and he comes rushing to offer a "sympathetic" shoulder ugh, such a sleazebag. but Ha Yeon is the one that's infuriating me. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************also found it ironic that not only r the same people (more or less) reincarnated into a similar situation - as Yeon Seok is a orphan (one without status) and Ha Yeon a Cabols son (and given the "don't let father find out.." and the rest of that convo between siblings, makes me wonder if "Ha Yeon aint in a relationship with Yeon Seok" - that's what he told his sister, what is he doing with Yeon Seok???). *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************next ep hope everything will be cleared up - this started out strong - great - beautiful and am dreading this gonna go the usual K-BL way (take a nose dive) - so here hoping we get a logical - fitting ending (to the start).

another worrying ending - ironically this ep (unlike what i thought at the end of the previous one) was great - yeah wanted to smack Yeon Seok and shake the dude, more the once. after u finally kissed ur soul-mate, u let someone else take him away. but he still adorable, goofy, funny and Hot so love him. **********************************************************************************n gald everything turned out fine (even though will admit, the love confession was a bit out of the blue/rushed - like i get only 2 more ep's to go... and yet if someone i just got an "i like u from" declared his love, i would be, backing the frack up and saying cool ur horses dude, too much too soon... but cause this short, will ignore this plot-hole and be happy that they "sealed the deal" ahem... ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************but i Didn't get the shocked look on the sister's face - why? pretty sure she knows her brother (as in he's gay, add to that he's crushing on Yeon Seok), isn't them being together logical? or cause she though Yeon Seok a manly man, that he would Never be mutually receptive to her brother's charms?!? ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Jin Hyeok i get, as he is totally after Ha Yeon - there no roommate/ best buddy this attached to their buddy/roommate making their life revolve around them (ridiculous) how he Always pop's up to "be there" for Ha Yeon (personally i wouldn't like this and would feel something was off) Ha Yeon doesn't come off naive. so idk what's what but there just 2 more ep's for this to unfold and the next ep is Ha Yeon finding out something that's gonna "rock the boat" in this new ship, so will wait and see

guess i've seen too many crime drama's / movies, where the main lead who is a detective, profileretc... is a bit hmmm "extra" - where he imagens or rather puts himself in the killers shoes in order to find said killer. so to me Song aint that abnormal. ****************************************************************************************************************************************i get Kook being worried not only cause he (as much as he knows about Behavior Analysis and profiling), isn't aware that this can be a side effect with some profilers - which is a double edged sword. but it is the price u pay, as a cop/detective/profiler - burn out that accrues. chalking it down to lack of knowledge on his part - plus he doesn't want the Behavior Analysis team that's final getting acknowledge and making baby steps, to get stigmatized cause Song's acting a bit "mental" - ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************personally other then how i started this comment, we also saw Song as a kid seeing that woman's dead body while he almost drowned, that wasn't a normal reactions at that time of afterwards. meaning he was never like everyone else, but marched to his own beat. think even his mother is aware of this fact and that's why she not the typical nagging mother, pushing her son to get married. she also very worried, cause she knows he's and introvert (that will always be worrisome - as how and when all the pressure that's building will "burst") as in he might get sick or die. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************feel sorry for Song cause he is under enough pressure, frustration and guilt cause of how many crime's r going unsolved. let alone interviewing all those crazies, takes a toll. now his coworker is looking at him like he crazy and he not a person that will try to explain himself (if he even knows how too).

a lot of the J-drama's that r food orientated, end up being a tour of foods and/or restaurant's that offer a unique experience. which is a great way to encourage in-house touring, especially "after" the corona. even now with the vaccination's not all people want to travel, and some can't afford to, no matter the health risk situation - here u get to see places and what they offers, even if u aint a foody - this is an interesting option to have when u want a staycation or get reacquainted with ur country. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw was wondering if his wife knew about his "me time", cause usually when u go anywhere, if u've got a family (especially with young kids) it is accepted - understood that u bring back something for them. that's a parents, children thing - so here more then once i kept thinking (particularly when it something he really enjoys) wouldn't he want to share that with his wife or children ?!?) or maybe he doesn't to start anything that will then turn an enjoyment "me time" into a chore, hmmmm wonder

wow... kinda sad seeing Song so broken, heck even usually jovial Kook was somber. but given the crazy dude they were facing, not shocking. but didn't get why they thought he would feel sorry or guilty - if he was capable of feeling empathy, he wouldn't be able to commit any of the crimes he committed - let alone be psychotic and enjoy them. heck he loved it so much, he kept studying to perfect the method - who works that hard at something they don't love and enjoy? so excepting anything but a human devoid of humanity, is wishful thinking. know it's easy to say this when ur not confronted with such a person - ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************now they got to catch the other nutter - and that commissioner so made me wanna punch the screen, i get he just wants to close cases. but he got a brain? what happens when the real killer continues killing? leave that - what happens when it comes to light that Young Chun didn't commit the additional murders, they just tagged on-to him? (idk about Korea) but in any other country his punishment would get over turned, and it would be a whole mess - how stupid thoughtless people like him reach the top idk but it's scary...

1st off everything fixed and working - this was So good i binged watched in a few hrs. really great plot, acting etc... also love that everything was explained, usually ton of plot-holes left open and it is what it is - but here anything weird, or off was dealt with (ok Yoshimura stepping back when he saw Yoichiro was weird, as i doubt he knew then what he knew in this ep, as the killer's identity was a mystery) same with Masayuki always insinuating everything was connected with the corruption case (which - on 2nd thought - i guess in a round about way there is a connection, so never mind ). *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the only bit i wanna tweak, is the "karma" crap - yeah killing is bad, wrong and the law should deal with bullies and abusers. But until the law gets involved the damage and pain kids and women suffer (if they survive) is unimaginable. so someone suffering from a mental break and targeting men that r garbage, i wont cry a river. that's also why i didn't get why Ippongi couldn't understand that fact and had to ask, why Shigeru took 4 men's lives - like plz. they deserved worse in my book . ****************************************************************************************************************************************the other thing is everyone saying Shigeru abandoned his child - dude didn't know he had a kid, so how could he abandon him?!? plus i get Kotomi was angry even hated Ippongi for causing her father's death. but(!) she knew she was sick, seriously sick! so wouldn't she rather their son be with the father then random strangers? (yeah Yoichiro lucked out and got fantastic parents. but still weird). **************************************************************************************************************************************mentioning his parents OMO didn't expect to cry and their back story was heart breaking, little wonder Shigeru lost it, when he lost Mutsumi - this was a sad ending, even though positive considering all involved and their true motivation.

what an ep - where to start, first professor Tatsuya and his touchy feely interactions with Ippongi have been weird from the start (every time he saw Ippongi, he found a reason to get all handsy with him, always making Ippongi push him of) but this time, even the subber mentioning it, OMO i lost it - but don't think - even for a sec he's "Vaccine" plz (think the sec he involved himself in that interview (mentioning "Vaccine") he signed his death warrant) like i Never believed, the so called "threatening phone calls" made to the wives (not that there weren't any calls) but that the threat was b.s - as in, there was never a gf or "woman" involved. it was just an excuse to throw off the cop's, if anything, them being abusers was the main reason they were all targeted. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************also i didn't get the whole Ebara, Ishibashi situation - or Ippongi letting go off either man considering we talking serial killer here, and yet he ready to leave one to go meet with him and the other to go un questioned? was weird to me that he didn't try and point out the obvious in each situation, that it wasn't him being nosy, but it was about stopping a murder that was on a rampage *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************also why did it seem like Yoshimura recognized and tried to evade Yoichiro?!? is he Yoichiro's father? and now have a feeling the nurse that worked for Ishibashi, is the woman that left her baby... *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note - love the man-crush Yoichiro has developed on Ippongi, let alone how flattered and flustered Ippongi got knowing this - that was such a sweet, cute, light moment.

this is so much fun and yet frustrating - so many annoying character's all with their own agenda, where u start to get annoyed and yet that doesn't make them bad people - ironically, even though they r profiting off of people's deaths. and i get the cops r just doing their job, but they also frustrating to watch. cause most of it feels like ego, and not just logical suspicion, let alone a waste of resources (following Ippongi). ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************thankfully Yoichiro story was cleared and now we "get" who the old dude (doctor Ishibashi is), let alone why he got Yoichiro's birth-certificate & how he's involved. even though it's just his word, that he found the baby (which btw, what a freakin cute, smart baby they found to play Yoichiro in infancy freakin adorable!!!) on his door step. so he himself is still suspect. maybe his wife abandoned him and left their baby and he gave it to the Ebara's who wanted a child, but couldn't conceive? (but his body type doesn't match the killers. plus there NO Way he can easily jump over the rail, just to throw over the 2nd victim to his death plz )... so still donno who i suspect as "Vaccine". ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also idk why inspector Masayuki keeps mentioning the corruption case that destroyed Ippongi life - how and why would that have anything to do, with what is happening now? just weird and makes him more suspect. Yoshimura going to the kindergarten where Kotomi worked is a misdirect - i think lol

must say this whole ep was a total misdirect - throwing u one clue, that will lead u one way and then another that is in the opposite direction. like i mentioned in the previous ep, i doubt Ebara is "Vaccine" but throughout this ep, all we got was bigger and bigger hints at his involvement, even the scene where we see the killings, u see a fit younger build that couldn't be that decrepit professor or that older dude that had Ebara's birth-certificate. and then u get the "clue" in the letter, that's word for word something Yoshimura said in the previous ep, and in a round about way u could say he fits the build of the killer, but he is taller. *********************************************************************************************************************************so everything is meant to confuse. even the cops reaching the conclusion that it's an inside job (in the news paper) is to muddy the waters. even more so WE wont guess who is really behind this mystery - which is great, cause then u haven't figured anything out at the start of the drama, and u will be glued to the screen until the final ep. which is great! this whole drama is really turning out great and happy i can binge watch this on the weekend ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also the killer saying the second victim was random is crap - if that was the case he wouldn't chose someone who's MO is more or less like the 1st person he murdered, and even though we know nothing about the 3rd victim. it's easy to assume he was an abuser and a womanizer - also if he was among the people smoking on that building wouldn't be safe to assume he works there? or random people of the street can just goin into any company just cause they need a smoke?!?
