My Thoughts On While You Were Sleeping Episodes 3 And 4

I guess having the "Seed of Agito" can be a burden, isn't it? I sort of want to imagine that the Seed of Agito hit South Korea watching this show. With episodes 3-4 and well I'll have to wait for Wednesday to Thursday next week to watch more episodes of this ongoing show.

It looks like we now have an idea of who's who or what? Yoo-Bum is well a bummer. It's hinted by Jae-Chan's words that he's a sleazy guy who let others take the blame. In the past, Yoo-Bum made Jae-Chan take the blame. He's a dirty prosecutor who'd do anything to grab power and it's obvious. He dated Hong-Joo but visions suggest he may even frame her for what could have been his hit-and-run and to avoid responsibility. This leads to another issue of how fate affects society.

Seung-Won meets a girl who wants to take justice into her hands. She mentions how the justice system of South Korea is failing. Is this show trying to address social injustices? The So-Yoon insists that her father assaulted her mother. It looks like that Jae-Chan using his "Agito Seed" foresees something terrible. Hong-Joo's visions are no delusions and she sees disasters. She sees that Seung-Won might commit murder or get framed for it. Seong-Won wants to use arsenic on her abusive father to save her hospitalized mother.

We also get a glimpse of a boyish ugly duckling that's Hong-Joo. She foresaw her father's death by an escaped soldier. It turns out that both Hong Joo and Jae-Chan met each other when they were much younger though it seems she's probably five to eight years younger than he is. The psychic ties between them end up as both a gift and a curse.

This also leaves me with thoughts on the supernatural gift the two possess. If they were trying to prevent disasters did Fate eventually decide to let somebody else take that disaster? What if this gift of seeing towards the future is actually not meant for mortal minds? I even feel like Jae-Chan's advice to forget about the dreams may be the best thing to do.

What do you think?
