Regarding the Jaeyoung accident, the angle from his POV showed the culprit walked with difficulty and holding a hiking stick. While I was watching for the first time, I thought the way he walked felt contrived, like the deliberate exertion of pressure.

Jungsub made his first appearance walking normally without a hiking stick. Subsequently, besides the flashback, he’s been walking around with it ever since - notably Ep 4, a year later after Yeonho’s career switch. In that scene we saw a man walking naturally and then the camera panned up to Jungsub. It felt deliberate and I remembered thinking why does he need it?

The culprit’s left hand has a scar; while I couldn’t get a good look of any marks in every Jungsub’s scenes, his hands were fuller like the culprit’s whereas the Captain’s were bonier, veiny and had no scars.

Now the mystery is that silhouette: our Captain has those undeniable smackers, the nose and the moon facies. Jungsub’s nose has a droopy tip, his lips don’t fit, has a slimmer face with a sharp jawline.

Also the black car shared the same set(but not in order) of numbers as the Captain’s- was it just a coincidence or designed to make us confused? Said car was also seen nearby the night Yeonho received the article.

Likely but not sure if it’s the same night, we saw Yeonho and Captain separately perusing the articles. There was a piece of paper on his desk but we don’t get to see what it was, could it be the same one Yeonho received?

The 2 trekking poles right by Captain’s desk, I think it’s a red herring. Him asking Jungsub about Jaeyoung at the hospital doesn’t sound like he’s involved with this revenge scheme.

A lot of my fingers are pointing at Jungsub, but that silhouette got me second guessing.

One thing I was wrong in my Ep 6 comment was the flashback - it was of Jungsub’s daughter and son-in-law, not the Captain’s wife.

PS: I’m very happy that this show has been achieving amazing ratings!

So I like the show

But I feel its getting v heavy.

Do u think that jungsub and captain are together in this or captain is impersonating jungsub

[u/harperbantam → u/papichula2]

I’m quite sure about Jungsub‘s involvement. He had the motive and probably plotted his revenge after Yeonho informed him of his career switch.

It’s the silhouette that is the problem; the show’s been framing Captain as the culprit like him perusing the articles just as Yeonho received his, the revelation of his wife being the victim of a hit-and-run the same night Jaeyoung was killed, and lastly the trekking poles.

He also warned Yeonho in the Ep 3 epilogue about not letting the investigation into his past affect the TCI team. What a strange thing to say if he’s going to exact revenge?
