My Thoughts On While You Were Sleeping Episodes 25-26

Images taken from Drama Beans.

Episodes 25-26 is starting to get really intense. There's a murder mystery going on and some memories of the past coming back towards Jae Chan and Hong Joo. And there's some twist from the past and the present.

We see both the leading guy and the leading lady at the beach. I think having ESP does bring certain people together huh? I even want to think of this is as a psychic rapport developed between the two. The scene at the beach developed them as a couple. I'm glad that Hong Joo easily broke off from Yo BUMMER otherwise she would have had her predicament and actual suicide.

We see a new scene of Chief Choi and Hyang Mi run into Yo BUMMER. Yes, there's Yo BUMMER again with his devilish schemes. He offers them to transfer to his law firm but for what reason? I suspect that he's trying to protect whatever dirty secrets he's had as a money hungry lawyer. I suspect that somehow Yo BUMMER may be involved in several criminal cases already even before the series started.

This also brings a bit of discussion about the cellphone pickpocket. There's always the human side in petty criminals and we discover that the other lawyers only cared about the money. Jae Chan discovers aboout the cellphone pickpocket's daughter who died ten years ago. Only one lawyer bothered to look into that. As careless as Jae Chan is but he has a good heart where he figures out some defects in the justice system.

This leads to a startling revelation. The cellphone pickpocket gives the data card that starts to reveal the victims of an intravenous serial killing. This leads to an investigation that somebody else could be leading the murders but who. One person had thrown the cellphone into the river but somebody has to be the mastermind.

This leads to a suspense scene. An unknown criminal shows how dastardly he can get. Not only has he killed his own roommate off-screen but he's also willing to burn down the evidence. This is one of the best moments where both Jae Chan and Hong Joo hang to each other.

Surprise or isn't it? Chief Choi was actually someone from their past. He was the junior cop years ago when Jae Chan was caught in a motorcycle offense. Predictable? I think so or not. I can't decide on how predictable it is or not. But I can rejoice on the fact that Chief Choi saved both our protagonists.

Regardless, I can't wait for next week's finale on November 16, 2017.
