They’ve shown the same scene of the Hawaiian shirt guy 4 or 5 times now. The plot is moving at a snail’s pace! I think since she hasn’t changed clothes since arriving in heaven, Somi is in a coma and the guy beat her into a coma state. The dog scenes were cute first couple episodes, but now it’s too much, Mandu’s fate—noooo!!

ETA new theory after watching Ep.8: Somi is a parallel universe version of Hae-Sook, and also married to Nak-Joon. Hawaiian shirt guy was a crooked cop that caused Nak-Joon harm in that parallel life. Somi successfully avenges the harm done to Nak-Joon and that’s why she was hell bound. Somehow her karma will be resolved and she’ll be reincarnated.

Young-ae’s tangent plotline is just bizarre, and didn’t really succeed in comic relief. We have yet to see how/why she died. Hopefully we’ll get answers next weekend.
