This series gets better from week to week. By now, all the residents of the neighbourhood are suspects. I wouldn't be surprised if they are all have some skeletons in their cupboard.

I love it when Da-hyun's mother and grandmother are so conspicuously inconspicuous. And then to put on that totally implausible smile - delightfully terrifying!

My theory is that Da-hyun was locked up somewhere with Gye-hoon's sister (her memory lapses are too ominous) and that's where the connection to Gye-hoon came from.

Let's see if another dead body suddenly turns up in the discarded fridge. Nothing would surprise me any more.

The last scene was really chilling and Moon Ga Young's performance of a victim once again put face to face with the abuser was terrific. The viewer can sense the fear pulsing from her body and filling the whole frame.

Also, the drama is so good at hitting you with the mood it intends with a particular scene without giving you a whiplash. For instance, Gye Hoon and his friend return from the market after a tense encounter with the policeman, but quickly the mood changes to comedy with the grandma asking the mom to smile when they saw Gye Hoon.

I had always liked the old lady playing the granma in others shows, but here she totally rocks! Especially, when she was sweetly threatening to bury the stalker's sis when the later fought with the mom🤣🤣🤣🤣

As for as the OTP, I have nothing more to say except Yeo Jin Goo and MGY are killing it with their chemistry ❤ The whole scene of them just sitting and staring at each other spoke volumes of their character's feelings.

Da-Hyun surely knows about the past being involded but for some reason, she has some amnesia. The Grandma and the mother have informations too. I hope they won't too late to share them.

Gye-Hoon crying was so sad to see, I'm happy he found a place to express his feelings with Da-Hyun. Every adult who said it happened because of him deserved a kick in the butt!

This drama mixes really well the humor and the mystery.

When Da Hyun's mother and grandmother looked so relieved when they realized the stalker was alive, I laughed so hard. They are my favorite characters. So much hot mess between the two of them, plus the running gag of them wandering the streets at night with possibly violent tools. I love it.

I love this show I have nothing more to say, hopefully it stays good until the end.

Hello Beanies!
I hope that you all are having a wonderful day. I am truly enjoying the drama and the mystery that surrounds the entire town. The final scene was truly terrifying and the main actress is doing a terrific job. I cannot imagine what it must be like to be the target of another's person's obsession.
One thing that has been nagging at me is why the hospital never notified Lee Eun-Jung that her brother had been admitted? Especially considering the state that he was in when he arrived. Also, are we to assume that Lee Eun-Jung is aware of her brother's obsessive/stalker tendencies?

-Gye-hoon and Da-hyun are marvelous together. Love them. And it's very telling how open Gye-hoon is with her when he is normally so closed off to everyone except his friend.
-How sweet for grandma and mom to be happy that the stalker is alive for Da-hyun's sake. They were just happy that she didn't have to carry the guilt of being a murderer. That was the first time I liked mom. Oh and them confronting the sister was total bada**!!
-One theory I had was that Dr. Eun hurt his own daughter and the piano teacher knew but didn't say anything because Dr. Eun threatened his son.
-I'm actually glad stalker is back so we can wrap up his storyline and get rid of him and his creepy sister (as long as everyone survives their encounter with the siblings). I'd much rather spend time finding out the truth behind Gye-young's disappearance. Both siblings are insane. Didn't his sister notice that all the photos he took of Da-hyun were from far away. There were no couple shots. What couple doesn't take pictures together? Obviously Da-hyun didn't know she was being photographed.
-I liked that the one officer who tried to hug Gye-hoon was happy to see him; and then he ruined it by blaming the family like everyone else. Again, disgusting. And he is so dead set on the piano teacher being guilty that it's possible he missed other clues and other suspects. Having blinders on and tunnel vision can make it easy to miss the truth.
-It's pretty obvious the young cop is the piano teacher's son since he is always coming to his defense.
-That construction worker and his wife are very suspicious. I wouldn't be surprised if he did it and his wife knew. Then what the shaman said would make sense about there being more than one culprit. One who did it and another who knew about it.
-But at this point I'm not ruling out any suspects because the entire town seems to be hiding secrets. Including Officer Ahn who is always eating at Da-hyun's family's restaurant. I find him very suspicious.

I’m really glad the sister thing is out of the bag and that DH actually went and talked to said sister (the psycho stalker’s sister as in) - I was anticipating the story to drag that out. The grandma - mother - daughter are *chefs kiss* - the comedic trio I didn't know I needed and it just gets better when GH is added into the mix!

What I'm really interested by (aside from the massive game of Cluedo that's been playing out with the townspeople) is when they explore whether any potential interest GH has in DH is partially, to whatever extent, just a reflection of her own crush on him/the result of him being so finely attuned to her all the time. They've already dropped a few lines touching on the question of whether he can separate his emotions from hers, and while I think it's relatively easy for him to now when dealing with emotions like fear and anxiety, I imagine maybe the emotion of 'affection' might not be as clear cut. There is a small space there to wonder whether any feelings he develops for her is partially because he's absorbing some the feelings of affection she's throwing out at hime and/or in general because he's constantly feeling her emotions and therefore naturally is thinking about her all the time more or less. For example also, taking the scene where he was crying because she was about his mum, I guess it's implied that he also used it as an opportunity to really cry for himself too - the lines between his and her emotions are kind of blurred there, if that makes sense? BUT that being said, you could make the argument that even though the lines could be blurred slightly, for him to use the link as an excuse to really cry did need that emotion to already exist within him already PLUS he's got no obligation to be running to her aid every time she feels something AND he's not looking for a way to actively get rid of their link so I do think there is genuine affection that he holds for her there that's real and his. I guess I'm just thinking out loud here about what their link means in terms of 'sincerity' of feelings for him but not to detract from the fact that they do make a really cute potential couple :D

This drama is so good. It really knows how to captivate my curiosity every week. Even when I think its gonna get boring, it brings back something new.

I finally picked this drama and I'm enjoying it so much. It's always a good sign when I laugh out loud in public while watching a drama 😅.
YJG and MGY are splendid ; the 3 generations are the comic relief I didn't know I needed 😅😂😂

It's getting tougher for me to believe that Eun-jung is really stalker guy's sister because i realized he never saved her number (why tf would da-hyun pick up omg that moron) and that was a major "?" for me because I feel that even if you're crazy you would still save your sister's number...unless you're not that close? 🤔
Idk about y'all but this drama has me suspecting everyone & serious trust issues. The whole town is super shifty right down to the police bro.
I agree with a comment I saw, its possible that Da-hyun might have gotten kidnapped along with Gye-young and it was just too traumatizing for a young girl hence the lapses in her memories.

All in all this show just keeps getting interesting and oozes potential. I really hope it doesn't take a downward spiral and disappoint me.

He did the brake-arm-protect-passenger thing. I love the brake-arm-protect-passenger thing. I'm grateful that Da-hyun saw how Gye-hoon's mom verbally abuses him. When she started crying for him, our girl is so empathic. I can't wait for them to heal each other.

I'm overjoyed that Gye-hoon confessed about being able to feel Da-hyun's emotions. Their link is very romantic in how he feels everything she feels. He even knows that she likes him. But like Jin-hoo asked, "How can you tell whose emotions you're feeling?"

I know Gye-hoon wouldn't recognize Stalker's face, but I wish he had realized it when Jin-geun said his girlfriend lived across the street. He is like a cockroach who never dies. Did the taxi ajusshi with Gye-hoon's knife take Jin-geun to the hospital? I hope Eun-jung will see her brother stalk and abuse Da-hyun.

At this point, I suspect everyone in the neighborhood over Gye-young's disappearance and am convinced that they're all in on it like Murder on the Orient Express. Thanks a ton for the weecap, @quirkycase!

This episode really made me curious if majority of the neighborhood is involved in Gye Yoong disappearance. They seemed really anxious & edgy once they know about who Gye Hoon is. But why would they conspire such thing.

About Eun Jung, if she's really that close to her little brother like she claimed, why wouldn't her brother contacted her at all while recovering at the hospital. It seems off to me.

Super love this week's episode. It felt like it's been a long time since I met a kdrama with great story and all.

Always love the cool but funny Gye Hoon, the quirky Da Hyun and her family (hahahaha) and everything else.

Can't wait for next week!

Grandma is the best. She can be hilarious, she can be sweet, but don't mess with her when she's doing her rounds with a shovel at night!

I'm starting to get Murder on the Orient Express vibes from this town in regards to Gye-Young's disappearance.

The way that the Piano Teacher admitted that 'he was supposed to give her a ride' made it sound like it had been already organised rather than a crime of opportunity.

Current running theory is that the neighbours had conspired together to kidnap Gye-Young to protect her from something but somehow the plan went terribly, likely fatally, awry.

I'm also with other fellow beanies, stalker man is 100% not Eun-Jung's brother.

.. and on a lighter note, Mom and Grandma are absolutely killing me with laughs, I could not stop giggling at their dual fake smiles for Gye-Hoon!

I laughed and I cried, then laughed and cried again.
I laugh whenever Gyehoon gets jealous at Dahyun's attention to other people or when other people pay attention to her, because he is so clueless as to his own feelings.
I cried when he confronted his ex-piano teacher and tried to control his emotions to draw out what happened to his sister.
I laugh with DaHyun because she is so adorably transparent with her thoughts and feelings; Gyehoon almost wouldn't need a link to read her emotions if he weren't so naturally dense. And whenever mom and grandma appear and flash their Dentyne smiles at Gyehoon I can't help but burst into laughter, no matter what the mood was before.
And I REALLY cried when Dahyun commiserated with Gyehoon after witnessing his mother vent her emotions on him. And Gyehoon breaking down because Dahyun is probably the first person in a long time who has shown him any sympathy (but he's perfectly fine of course, he's only crying because of her.)
I counted so many instances in these two episodes where people were asked if they were ok, and they said they were fine. It ties back to Dahyun's line at the end of the second episode that the most often said lie is "I'm ok." I'm wondering if the general shiftiness and suspicious behavior of the people in this town has more to do with unresolved trauma rather than guilt at being part of some heinous crime. And perhaps as the truth is revealed some sunlight will come to this neck of the woods. On the other hand, I'm fully ready if it turns out they are all complicit in covering up something.
Mom and Grandma did seem worried when Dahyun brought up Gyehoon, and slightly relieved that she didn't remember anything- what was that about?
I also don't really believe Eun-Jun is Jin-geun's sister- it's odd they would be that close but he doesn't think of her at all throughout his recovery. She's obviously obsessed with him for some reason, though...
One thing I was wondering about was whether the link phenomena was really necessary for the story...in some ways it seems a weirdly artificial device. I tried to imagine some of the scenes where Gyehoon comes to Dahyun's rescue without the link...e.g. where he sees her panicking over her mom and grandma being missing and goes with her to look for them. But then I realized that without the "link" it would be more a straightforward serious drama. There a supernatural fantasy element sprinkled in (a cinnamony nutmeg flavoring to go with the food analogy?) that I'm liking with this drama...

I am wondering if the tteokbokki was a hidden social ad to eat more veggies

Really struck by how much perishable food items they have in the restaurant that remains unopen. That was really a lot of bell peppers in that one shot.
