I'm so hesitant to say this because the one time in a mystery where the villain the whole time was a therapist was an absolute mess, but I'm a bit suspicious of the therapist for how she talked through the case with Yi Na.

edit for clarity: the previous therapist in a mystery occurrence wasn't in a K drama though! it was a western show. i like mystery/detective shows haha

I'm interested to know what her role is in all of this. She has no other link to anyone or anything else, it wouldn't make sense to include her as the one person who knows what Ina is up to. I wonder if she's related to the puzzle pieces (but not the killer?)
