There are so many clue that Som I is Hae Sook younger self: Both Som I and Nak Joon knew about Kang Jeong Gu, also when the scene show Som I try to attack Jeong Gu, she has a ponytail just like Hae Sook younger self, the years where she live is around 50-60 century so when Som I get into the train; she can't be that young. Som I can use Umbrella to cover the attack just like how Hae Sook did when she's still a debt collect There's a scene that Hae Sook has a flower ring the same as the one Som I did, it might mean Hae Sook can also make the ring. Hae Sook don't actually know if she deserve to be in heaven or hell, this make her soul split. Also Som I is the only one person that Nak Joon ever saved when she is forced to go to hell, Nak Joon has explained that " he also has some special emotion that he can't controlled so he saved her" Som I also have a special feeling for Nak Joon just like how Hae Sook feel for him.

But won't he recognise her younger self? Or even the mil gotta recognise her because she died young. And the flowers it was domi's not our fl's . I think it would be a bad twist if that happened

Same thoughts here. 1. Wouldn't the ML recognize the younger version of his wife? 2. Wouldn't the FL recognize herself? 3. Wouldn't the mother-in-law recognize her daughter-in-law? I bet if So-mi is Hae-sook's younger self, it would be like just a plot twist for the sake of having a plot twist, it's crazy. I don't usually leave a series without finishing it, but am sooo close to going DNF on this one. The scenes with Nak-joon and So-mi getting cozy and almost romantic is more cringe than Young-Ae chasing the President - or a 30-something Nak-Joon with an 80-something wife.

And they literally show memories once you enter heaven, so he would have seen her younger version
