Ki Bum's Mechanical Eyes Goes Haywire And Duk Gu's Hacking

Rugal's 10th episode (well sorry for no weekly episode reviews and I didn't realize it's two episodes per week) really has gotten its big-time thrill. The price of the prosthetics in Rugal is a weaknesses. There are some weaknesses like requiring the charge. In Ki Bum's case, it looks like that his eyes are either acting on their own OR somebody hacked into them. Rugal is at the risk of being exposed.

Worse, there are false memories in Ki Bum's memory? TBH, I think the villain Duk Gu has more than meets the eyes (pun not intended) because he's one magnificently scary villain. The problem with the AI of his prosthetic eyes is this. The more Ki Bum accesses the AI - the more the AI has the pull and hi-jack his very memories. What's interesting to know is that Ki Bum could turn into a merciless killer. I don't think it's just a coincidence of sorts that his eyes turn red. Somebody and I mean somebody is messing with him. I think it has to be Duk Gu messing with him.

Duk Gu appears in a scary Jason-like mask from Friday the 13th as if the Matrix references aren't really enough. Either way, I really love how this villain knows how to mess with the heroes. He frames Ki Bum with corpses that have placards saying Duk Gu supposedly murdered them. He also hacks through all the mainframes of South Korea blaming the government and the police for the crimes Argos is doing. Well, didn't Argos infiltrate both the cops and the government earlier?

A bus full of CHILDREN is now about to be bombed. Duk Gu proves himself to be a heartless bastard. His demand is for Ki Bum to show up. How personal is their story going to get anyway? Is it as old as Captain America battling the Red Skull type of feud? Is Ki Bum meant to be Captain America in a way of Duk Gu is the Red Skull? It's really that scary when you consider that lives are on the line. Ki Bum would now give himself up but the heroes better have a backup plan. I don't think Duk Gu is the type of person to keep his word since he's really just... EVIL!!!!!

Six more episodes to go!
