HIP Talk: Nothing is what it seems.
Bonus Round: Last one for the team!
A/N: Okay I also lied. I need to write my ACTUAL last theory because damn the writers are too good. Trigger warning for violence, and abuse.
I’m taking the opportunity to answer to this reply and also to write one last theory. I hope it makes sense.
valleryrose replied to your post “HIP Talk: Lies. Lies. LIES!”
@bogeymanpop yeah good luck!! While the writers did succeed in making an amazing thriller that has us heads spinning I'm unable to peace with the concept that Sung Mo may have not had a chance to begin with.. it'll take time for me accept that!! Still, I'm hopeful that they are only painting the wrong picture right now for another twist!
Okay so, I believe the writers DO have another card up their sleeves because I cannot believe a 18 y.o. Sung-Mo would kill those women, the fire can somehow be justified, if he believed all the exits were working fine, but since it wasn’t then all those casualties happened and we all know the rest. Details to be talked about a little later.
We see that Geun-Taek was ready to fake Mother’s death and that’s why he had the body on a suitcase. We do not know what were his original intentions though.
“I know you are one to take bribes”
In one of the early episodes when we start to get more details of what happened on the night of the first fire, we see Jae-In’s father confronting the responsible lady for the apartments. She gets so offended, it looks like she might have been exposed... And in this sense I bring up the YSS Constructions.
This is when things might be all just in my head, trying to clear Sung-Mo’s name.
Coming back to the fire and the murders, The person that is connected with YSS Constructions is Jisoo’s father, who we see is a corrupt police-officer. I have suspicions that maybe that lady was either 1) about to expose the YSS Constructions for not following CRUCIAL measurements in their buildings, 2) was caught up in some sort of disagreedment with YSS Constructions. Either way she seemed to be involved in some sort of scheme.
If those murders were related to YSS then Jisoo’s father had two crimes to cover up for YSS Construction, the irregularities in their buildings, and the murders.
Which would make sense on him being so keen on her not seeing the files or doing investigations, because even though that would end up with her finding out that her father is corrupt, I believe that Jisoo would still find in her heart to help her father fix his mistakes if it was just the irregularities. But if she found out he had also covered up murders, then I don’t think she would ever speak to him again.
Now, about Sung-Mo, maybe that is the last card the writers are pulling. Because of Sung-Mo lack of ‘expression and emotion’ that opens up a lot of possible plots for him, because he becomes an unpredictable character. They show Sung-Mo a lot, but they never showed a lot ABOUT him.
So I am left to believe that this might be their last trick, since everything is mostly about his feelings and interactions, they painted a wrong love interest, and now they make him look like the ‘bad guy’.
The show plays a lot with actions first, intentions later dynamics. I believe that yes, Sung-Mo started the fire, in hopes of not letting his mother be caught again, and then he showed up at the right time to save his mother again at the Home case Fire. But I do not believe Sung-Mo killed those women because we are seeing this from the perspective of Geun-Taek and his iniciative of turn Ahn against Sung-Mo.
He succeeded on taking Sung-Mo’s love interest life, and nothing would desolate him even more than Ahn having this distorted image of Sung-Mo’s intentions and leaving him.
So I believe we will still see Ahn and Sung-Mo fighting, and I believe it will be a very eye opening fight. Where Sung-Mo will tell everything that happened that night, and everything he has been doing in his life, in order to repay everyone and redeem himself.
Long story short: Sung-Mo will have one last chance to make things right, and I believe he will take it. I also think his mother will have a very important role on making him see that he is not the monster that he is now calling himself.
I believe the last piece of Psychometry we will see from Ahn is when he is able to read Sung-Mo and see for himself Sung-Mo’s true intentions, and true feelings for Ahn and for everyone around him. Ahn knows that Sung-Mo deceived them at the station to try to keep them safe. Ahn will be the one that will free Sung-Mo from this guilt and heaviness he has been carrying around all these years... Like shackles, as well put by Jae-In.
In my opinion, there is hope for our Sung-Mo, and our Ahn.
As a last thought: On the preview for the 14th episode we see Ahn at the morgue, probably holding Jisoo’s hand. I wonder what will be the memory he will see, the one related to the necklace... Or the moment she shared with Sung-Mo. Or if it will even be a memory involving him... All I know, it’s that it will be devastading, so brace yourselves.
Anyways, that’s it. I hope it made sense because I have too much on my head right now. Good luck to all of us. This has been one hell of a ride.
[A/N2: We need a bit of sushine Dae-Bong to make amends with So-Hyun so they can start the whole making amends in the show and we get the happy ending we deserve, because they already ruined everyone’s ultimate ship, so they better not ruin this one too, or else I am 100% getting depressed]
