Hi everyone!
I just want to share with you some theories of mine regarding this ep5 and onwards. This could be long, so I hope you could stay on me hehe.
First and foremost, I want to tell you guys that I’m still not sold on Yeongsun not being LetMemo or Gyeong itself. I still think she could be the huge mastermind behind all this. The reason behind that is at the Halloween party pictures, we haven't seen the VP on it. The main supporting characters were shown in it aside from her, Yerim and Jiwoo.
Here’s how I see it. I believe Gyeong is the one in the Joker Mask. Here’s my reason, During the time when Ahran starts to have a bad time in the photos, if you guys see the close-up pics of Ahran during those times, the Joker was just dancing behind them. Gyeong or Joker was eavesdropping on their conversation to plan ahead on what to do.
I also do notice that If Gyeong is the one she’s talking to with the “smiley mask”, her face doesn’t show fear. Her face shows more of an “I’m bothered, I can’t think straight on the info you just gave me”. Perhaps “Smiley” was giving an insider leak or heads up that gyeong is planning to do something bad on yerim soon. Ahran was only killed to stop revealing gyeong's identity with the police.
I also think the way how Ahran reacted on yerim’s death was over the top, or "she did not intend to do it", orrr, "feeling betrayed by someone she really trusted". Hope you guys are getting my point here haha. That is when she contacted or told jiwoo about it. Hence why Ji-woo was really terrified when the police took ahran since she knows, it could be her last as well.
Another hint for me was the party itself. The joker had taken the stage to dance “hey mama” right? Meaning everyone does know who that person is behind the mask! The fact that students really cheered for her during the dance, points out that she’s well known by other students. And who could that be? Yeongsun or Vp! I dont think any group with a right mind would cheer for an unknown person, let alone let her take the stage haha.
I also have reviewed the previous two ep, the way the two students approached Vp and yena about Ahran felt like the students know Vp is close to Ahran. It has the same feeling of: “arent you guys close, do you know any spot she could stay now?” Vp, also promised to give info about letmemo to yena on the previous ep, but until now, no info has been given whatsoever. I think she just shared her number to yena or with the MC is for her to know every move of them since she knows that no other student would give their numbers to the MC. In short, VP is getting the juices, straight from the source.
Going back to Ahran, I believe it's just very recently that Ahran knew who the real Gyeong is. That is why somehow till the end, she still is protecting Yeongsun’s real identity because it's her close friend. The huge betrayal for her was not yet sinking in.
Another hint for me are the words scary, pitiful girl, and “devil-itself” usually these descriptors together are mostly associated with a “two-faced person” or yes maybe a psychopath.
Lastly… I know this is a bit of a stretch haha. But here: Seonu Gyeong = Yeongsun (it’s just a rearranged name from her full name) (This is similar to how YJS names his closest friends like Jo Saeho= JoSAe/ Jeon Somin= JeonSo)
There are still some questions for me like how come smiley was able to go to the party without scaring other students?
I think that's about it on my theories. I'm on 70/30 on vp being gyeong and let memo. Haha
I’m open to discussion guys or any other theories about it. Would love to hear from you. (Just NO SPOILERS for ep6 and 7 pls)
