I've watched ONE minute of THE FIRST teaser for tonight's episode and I'm here to say. I'VE SAID IT ONCE, I'VE SAID IT TWICE, I'VE SAID MORE THAN ENOUGH TIMES THAT JISOO NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW MUCH SUNG-MO CHERISHES HER WOULD LEAD HER TO PUT HERSELF IN UNECESSARY DANGER! AND NOW I AM PISSED OFF AND I'M SAD AND I'M STILL AT WORK.

HIP Talk: Hope for the lost ones

I will just state as it is, from my perspective.

Sung-Mo knows Ahn’s psychometry gets “better” when he is feeling desperate, as if it was his last resort, so that’s what he did. He put Ahn in a desperate situation, that he knew Ahn would be able to get out of it on his own if his ability is well enough. Sung-Mo gave all the clues, all the hints, and training needed for this moment, where Ahn can use his psychometry to help him.

Sung-Mo is being cold towards Ahn’s abilities on purpose. the colder Sung-Mo treats Ahn right now, the better for Ahn’s abilities, that is the ONLY thing that can actually solve this, because it’s about Ahn seeing the ACTUAL facts. 

This is Sung-Mo’s way of helping everyone he can right now.

At the end, I believe he will accept go to jail, and even stop being a prosecutor, but do not mistake Sung-Mo as the bad guy. He’s smart, and everything has a purpose. He noticed that he could follow his ‘plan’ of finding his father when Ahn did his first Psychometry on him. 

Sung-Mo already know how to fix all the sides at once, while letting Ahn try to solve once per time. 

Anyways, I’m happy with all of this, Honestly, I’m smiling [thought the pain]  the one thing that is making me mad was the whole “He has alexithymia” when hE DIDN’T! 

I also appreciate the beautiful moment Sung-Mo and Jisoo shared, and I’m glad they cleared once again, that Sung-Mo loves her.

Anyways, send your thoughts my little ones! Let’s talk about this episode!!

PS: Am I the only one who can see hope? Am I being naïve? Because this episode, was painful, but also set a lot of things straight.

HIP Talk: Sung-Mo, the Little Prince

A/N: This is just my intepretation of what is happening, and there’s also a trigger warning about abuse and violence.

For the past episodes it has been a big deal the whole “Does Sung-Mo has romantic feelings towards Jae-In?” and that question has been driving a lot of the characters on the show to judge Sung-Mo’s actions. 

After today’s episode, I believe that no. He does not have romantic feelings for Jae-In. And why does that matter? The misconception of him having such feelings for her, ended up in a chain reaction of terrible things happening in the series. After hearing Jae-In’s explanation towards why she was targeted we have this perception that not only Sung-Mo is not used to displaying his feelings, he might have been characterizing them, or portraying them ‘wrongfully’. And the that leads characters like Ahn and Jisoo to have a misconception about what he actually feels. I will get back on that, in a second.

“You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed”

At the end of the 10th episode and through out the 11th episode, references for the book Little Prince appear. On the 11th episode Kang Geun-taek, Sung-Mo’s father, talks about the Mom as his flower [referencing the flower Little Prince grows on his star], and he believes he’s got Sung-Mo’s flower. Jae-In after hearing his speech realizes Geun-taek’s misconception about her relationship with Sung-Mo, as she states herself. We will go back to the flower reference later on.

Going back to Sung-Mo characterizing/portraying his emotions. When Ahn does the reading of the maps Sung-Mo left for him, he has this ‘strange’ feeling in his chest, that leads Ahn to believe that Sung-Mo has romantic feelings for Jae-In, when in reality it could be that Sung-Mo, not being used to such a diverse range of emotions, might have ‘named’ his feelings towards Jae-In wrongfuly. Jisoo’s misconception comes simply after the statement that people cherished by Sung-Mo will be hurt and she doesn’t see herself as someone in danger.

What he truly feels for Lee Ahn and Yoon Jae-In, is lead by his guilt. He feels responsable for them, and that has been clear since the beginning. What he feels for Jisoo is indeed some sort of romantic feelings that she can’t believe it’s real, after being rejected by him before. But that’s when Geun-taek’s own feelings come into play.

It was previously shown that Geun-taek’s first option of target to hurt Sung-Mo was Jisoo, because he was driven by his rage of having his “flower” taken from him. Sung-Mo’s father was obsessed with the mother, and thought that the way of even things out would be hurting a woman loved by Sung-Mo. And in his perception, given the fact Sung-Mo was trying to approach Jae-In after her request of meeting him, Jae-In was that woman.

Sung-Mo being more affectionate than usual with Jae-In caused characters to believe he has romantic feelings for her, when he does not have such feelings. 

Now, coming back to the flower reference. Geun-Taek uses the flower in Little Prince to refer to Sung-Mo’s mother. Later on the episode we discover that the mother and Sung-Mo were held captive for 9 years in a basement.

“The Little Prince grew a flower on his star”

 Without having the information if they were previously married or not, it came to me that it could be a possibility of the mother being kidnapped before she was pregnant, which leads me to believe that she might have been abused while being helpd captive. The one thing I can state is that Geun-taek wanted to keep them for himself, in his own ‘glass dome’. 

For final thoughts, the book ends with the Little Prince allowing the snake to bite his ankle, to get him back to his star. The Little Prince allows himself to get ‘killed’ as a way of freeing himself.

It might be me over analyzing but the fact that it ends with the Little Prince getting bitten on his ankle, and Sung-Mo having a scar on his ankle, I can only wonder if he will do the sacrifice of being taken back with his father, or killed in order to keep those around him safe. 

We see Jisoo, Jae-In and Ahn trying to get to the killer before Sung-Mo does, but I cannot speculate on what will happen. Deep in my heart, I wish for Sung-Mo to not die, nor those cherished by him, And hopefully Geun-Taek has an actual ending, where he won’t be able to hurt anyone else.

So, what are your thoughts? I hope this made sense to everyone. Sung-Mo is my favorite character and I’m on the SUNG-MO DESERVES BETTER squad.

[edit] I by no mean, speculate that Sung-Mo doesn’t love or care Ahn. Ahn is probably the character he loves the most in this series, both going through thick and thin for each other. I just believe that in Geun-take’s eyes, to even things out, the victim should be a woman.

HIP Talk: Like father, like son?

A/N: idk the title sounds cool, and ALSO, I will try to make this easy, short and simple. After being right about the mother’s past with Geun-taek, I do not have the stomach to write anymore, so idk, this also might be my last theory, unless it’s requested, since we are also going towards the big answers anyways.

DISCLAIMER: I will be also using the preview for next week’s episode, so, spoilers? But not really?

Regarding the correct approach about the mother’s past as written on my last theory, I’m so devastaded. I did not wished that to have happened to her and it broke my heart to see that my suspicions were right.

“I do not want him to become an emotionless monster like you”

This is only line I will be using to back me up on this short theory. Through out the episode we see that Sung-Mo’s indeed has alexithymia, but Dr. Hong confirms to Jisoo that this does not mean the same as being a psychopath, and that one can “improve” it’s condition. This becomes important later on.

So far, this is the most info we got on Sung-Mo’s past. Ahn did readings all over the cage and was able to see the horrid past Sung-Mo has been trying so hard to let go of. As stated by Jae-In after she quotes her father, all of his wounds are being uncovered, so now he will be able to heal.

Which brings me to this: A few episodes back Ahn asks Sung-Mo if he perhaps wants him to develop his ability to certain extent to be able to help Sung-Mo to heal his wounds. “Hatch from his egg”. As the metaphor used by Ahn. And Sung-Mo confirms that yes, that’s what he wants.

When Jae-In and Ahn are on the abandoned subway they found a bag, and I admit that I could not understand if it was left by Sung-Mo or not. But we see, in the preview of the 13th episode, Ahn saying that Sung-Mo wanted Jae-In and Ahn to find them there, the purpose, obviously not clarified. Maybe as his way of asking for help, wanting them to stop him from becoming the “emotionless monster” his mother feared he could become. Sung-Mo knows he has the want and will to kill Geun-Taek, but for me it seems as he wants to be stopped. Maybe he’s scared of what he can do if he ever goes as far as actually killing someone. 

Which is why I bring up the importance of the show explaining what “makes” a psychopath. It seems as they want to clear that Sung-Mo is a victim trying to get rid of his past scars, so he can focus on having a future, since everything he has been doing was related to this past and his father.

As a last point. At the end of the episode we hear Ahn talking about how the events of that took place at the subway were his most painful memory. For this I have a prediction that they weren’t able to help Sung-Mo. With Jisoo also about to arrive at the subway station, it can be seen as Sung-Mo having to defend all of those he cares for in one afternoon, maybe all the while trying to put an end to the past.

I have no other predictions other than this one: In one way or another, Ahn, Jae-In and Jisoo were not successful on their task to help Sung-Mo. AND I HOPE I’m wrong. I do not wish to be right. I have no satisfaction on being right. 

Sung-Mo has already proven so much that he’s different from his father, and he has expressed his want to be helped, to be saved. So, for me, he is NOTHING like his father, because he has surrounded himself with people who see the best in him, despite his clumsiness in expressing emotions, as stated by Jae-In.

Whatever happens on the next episode will be emotionally scarring to all those involved. And I’m not ready for it. Please, someone send cute pics of Sung-Mo so I can heal my broken heart.

Last thing I wanted to add: I’m starting to see Jisoo and Sung-Mo as complementary personalities. Jisoo ‘feels’ too much or is too transparent with her thoughts and feelings, while Sung-Mo is the opposite, beign more recluse with his thoughts and trying to figure himself out. The actual perfect balance for each-other.

I have NO idea if this made anysense to anyone but me, but please, feel free to share your thoughts. HIP Talk!!

If Ahn dies then 100% Jae-In is going to turn against Sung-Mo and will do everything she can to make him pay.

HIP Talk: Lies. Lies. LIES!

A/N: THIS IS FILLED WITH SPOILERS, TEARS, ANGST, RAGE, AND A LOT OF CONFUSION AND SPECULATION. AND NO. NOT A THEORY.

Okay first things first, Jisoo. To my beautiful and strong Jisoo I am SO sorry it took you too long to see the love in front of you. I’m sorry it took too long for Sung-Mo to act on it. I’m sorry it had to be this way. You will forever be the most badass character in this series. 

My baby Sung-Mo, who I believe was the one who started the fire [I don’t think Sung-Mo would kill at the age of 18], I understand why you did it, and I now see that you never wanted things to be this way, but at the time it seemed like it could be a solution.

There’s so many secrets we STILL don’t know, and constant lies around the main characters... It’s driving me insane.

My thoughts for this episode: I’m freaking DEVASTADED that Jisoo died, Ahn being fooled by Geun-taek is driving me insane, Sung-Mo getting revenge is making me feel too many emotions and him visiting Jisoo’s tomb WHAT WAS THE NEED OF THAT? LIKE WHY? WHY? I honestly think we will only get their back story on the last freaking episode and I’m sad, and honestly, I need sunshine boy Dae-Bong to come and just sit there and smile at the camera for 40 minutes. 

Please send love, cause I will go back to crying now.

IT’S 22PM ALREADY AND THE SUBBED EP OF HE IS PSYCHOMETRIC WAS NOT POSTED YET, PLEASE WHY DO I HAVE TO SUFFER THIS MUCH BEFORE ACTUALLY SUFFERING?

[wonuella]

I’m not okay over the fact that I blindly thought He Is Psychometric was to have 20 episodes, but I just discovered it’s 16. I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE MORE BUT WE ARE LITERALLY AT THE END AND I’M ABOUT TO SCREAM!
