Would Go Hae Ri As Samael Actually Work?!

I really had my fingers crossed for the possibility that Hae Ri would be Samael all along because of the beginning. Does she turn out to be an evil woman beneath her Anime-ish kawaii face? Quite a plot would seem as random as what if Hiroyo Hakase (acted by Maaya Uchida) were the true villain of Akibaranger if you ask me. Though, it may also come out as trying to copy Scream 4's villain Jill Roberts (acted by Emma Roberts) if you ask me.

From the website Bitches Over Dramas - you can see quite a good speculation which I think could've effectively set her up as a Jill Roberts type of character. The short note doesn't dismiss the possibility that her ditzy behavior may just be a cover for a devious mind. I wanted to put that into consideration. If so, it would have been great for Suzy's career if she can pull off a devious minded woman. I'd imagine Suzy Bae as either an Asian Catwoman or Asian Poison Ivy. In her case, she seems to be more Catwoman if you ask me!

Who could remember Scream 4 when Jill was actually another version of Ghost Face all along? She seemed all sweet but she's the main villain of the show! There were quite a few hints that dropped that Hae Ri could be the main antagonist all along. She was using the code name, Elsa. There was a scene of her with a black raincoat. The beginning scene had her coming out of the car. In Scream 4 one can notice that Jill seemed innocent but she was the main villain. Could the same treatment have worked for Hae Ri as it did with Jill? Jill having masterminded a lot of the show's events and maybe Hae Ri too?

If the show wanted to make Hae Ri the villain - there were some parts where it'd be loose if it did. Woo Gi noticed the familiarity of the face of Mikey and not Hae Ri as Michael's girlfriend. Sure, Hae Ri did mention that an autopsy won't' change anything but the progression isn't helping. Also, I think having Jerome act like Charlie did in Scream 4 can work but it wasn't even put into it. I could accept if Suzy Bae decided to become South Korea's version of Jill Roberts, I think she can make a good villain in a slasher thriller BUT I don't think Vagabond would be the best place for it.

If she were the true villain - you could consider how much of the other villains are much older than her. That is, unless, she happens to be a megalomaniac who killed her parents for the fortune and blamed somebody else. That is unless she was spending time as Michael's girlfriend and later stole his assets for herself. That is unless she happens to be a Mensa genius version of Jill Roberts from Scream 4. I think the show could've done it if it slowly built it up with hints that Hae Ri would be the main antagonist. You can consider how Megaman X: Command Mission already had a few hints dropping in that Colonel Redips can't be trusted such as a scene that made it too obvious Botus was killed by the said person or how he has an evil smile while getting the Supra Force Metal. Mirai Sentai Timeranger already started to drop hints later on that Captain Ryuya was truly a douchebag extraordinaire when he arrived in the year 2001 - dropping the bomb that he actually chose to allow events for a reason.

The show didn't even do much with Hae Ri to even consider that. Just think the black raincoat was just a coincidence. Hae Ri was later found on site. Later, Mikey had more hints that she's the one who killed Mikey and not Hae Ri. It would be too weird if suddenly Hae Ri were Samael. Not weird for Park to be Samael but Hae Ri as Samael would just be loads of crack. But I'd still want to see Suzy act as a villain in any future projects!
