So episode 9…beanies where are you all we need to talk😮.

Ten years living in a mountain with no interaction with others and they don’t call in social workers to carry out an assessment of her needs like they did in Castaway Diva? Wouldn’t they follow up with the sister to see if she is able to support her. The mountain is so big that no one has seen her in all that time, she somehow found a tent/cabin and her clothes are not rotten, hair matted/dishevelled, teeth, skin all ok and she is not malnourished... no one finds this odd? The marks are in the wrong place and too new for her to be claiming to be the sister which Hyeri’s boyfriend will pick up on. Also if she is claiming to be the original sister can they can do DNA, check medical records. She won’t recognise either boyfriend and she should talk in a strange way having started to speak for the first time in 10 years. Either way she won’t be talking like the Hyeri we saw working in the parking lot.

In other news what is with the multiplication of annoying female colleagues in the one drama literally all playing the same character but spread between the two different stations why?

9 p.m. anchor plays an idiot anytime he is not on camera what is the point of that character?

I think the annoying female colleague is fun and also ... canyou be really irritating and charming at the same time? I think she is.
I hope there's a spare man for her when our sisters have found their man/men (And I am still rooting for Kang Hoon).

😮 Maybe it's the same person with two different bodies! Two bodies with a personality split between them!

I immediately thought that that’s Enu-ho, who went camping as Hyeri. Why would the police assume it’s Hye-ri? The wounds are too fresh to belong to the younger sister. Plus she didn’t look as a homeless person, and if you’re an American you know how homeless people living in tents look like (do better, America.) and how long it’s been? 10 years?? It’s Eun-ho, 💯 but there’s still something that’s not mashing here.

To me the person they found in the woods is Eun Ho as Hye Ri. The cuts are still fresh, the hair is cut in the same way, and I feel like it's the same jeans she had when she got hit by the mini-truck.
The first minutes were so beautiful yet so hard to watch. The scenes in the forest were breathtaking.

It was clearly Eun-Ho-Hye-ri.

Agreed beautiful scenes although I was on edge the whole time expecting a killer or sinking sand!

I was not.
I think we have seen her already, but even if not, I expect her to be alive.

I expressed previously in episode 7-8 hangout how much I loved that forest scenes. I think the PD should have cut down on the fireflies but overall that “deathly aura” surrounding our heroine was so haunting and beautiful.

I’m glad they revisited this scene and as much as I hope hyeri is alive, it would be a poignant moment if Eun-Ho comes back once again as herself (EH) to find closure. She got lost as a person and her sister got lost physically and I hope both of them find themselves (or each other) and the way out of that beautiful mystical (metaphorical?) forest.

Yes, Dante can find a forest and get lost anywhere on earth.
"Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.

Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say
What was this forest savage, rough, and stern,
Which in the very thought renews the fear.

So bitter is it, death is little more;
But of the good to treat, which there I found,
Speak will I of the other things I saw there."

I was all: "Give it to him, Kang Hoon! Don't hold back!"
I don't know why I am making a reverse internet audience (Norm: Demand perfection from FL, forgive ML anything. Me: Gets angry everytime ML turns up on screen, forgives FL for being impertinent, clingy, pretend-dumb, - everything!). I don't know why, but I really do not want Hye-ri or Eun-ho to end up with him. Or, I know why, I guess. Brushing her off ice-coldly like he did really gets my blood boiling - I have talked about before how if you pretend to never have liked someone, you are gaslighting their sense of love - for other people, too. They won't be able to trust their feelings. It's so bad! And rejoicing because she needs help ... Forcing her into relationshipof depency .... Urgh!!!

Another great episode. The hurt and raw emotions of our male leads was hard to watch. I don't think the real Hyeri has been found yet. I hope our three main characters can receive the counseling they desperately need. I loved that the manager misses having Eun Ho's energy around the office. (I still don't understand why we're seeing so much of that meddlesome 9pm anchor.)

Episode 9:

-I did not expect Kang Hoon asking all the logical and obvious questions in this episode. Like, I was smacking my forehead saying, “That’s right, my man, ask these questions! Why is Hyun-oh not wondering about her well-being? What the hell is going on here?”

-When Hyun-oh sat down at the psychiatrist chair, I was like, finally! Finally, this man is getting some therapy.

-Hyun-oh’s sobbing at his bed was heartbreaking. I suspect his monumental case of noble idiotism has turned around and bit him. He was probably breaking up with her NOT to hurt her by sharing his life with him (though that’s quite an iffy motive) but by breaking up with her he inflicted an insurmountable pain and suffering on her. Twisted case of karma.

-Glad to see a capable psychiatrist in kdrama. I liked how she told Hyun-oh that Eun-ho case if off limits due to privacy issues but she invited him to discuss his feelings about what happened to him. She was very calm and non-judgmental.

-Disappointed about (luckily, non-fatal) truck of doom. Couldn’t she just stumble into the announcer and scraped her arm in a more realistic way??

-A bit disappointed about the absence of the main heroine for the entire episode. But. Looking back at it, I appreciate the build-up of suspense and mystery that un-reveled in the end.

-Still can’t figure out what’s that role of that Amazon Kids tablet touting 9 o’clock character who has a weird obsession about “dead sister” Hyeri.

-Still not sure what that grandma’s runaway lover adds to overall story. What’s his deal.

As always beautifully shot episode with dialogue that tugs at your heartstrings and characters that you can identify with. Hooked.
