For all that makes Who Are You just a relatively small scale drama with a hodge-podge of elements from detective mystery, horror, and SciFi, it does such a wonderful job of showing unfathomable disappointment when someone dies coupled with a hope that it won’t be in vain and the living can still find happiness. I’m not a fan of the ghost-of-the-episode stories even if WAY does a much better job with it than The Master’s Sun, but I also like how the ghostly elements have tapered off recently as we delve deeper into Si On and Hyun Joon’s past coupled with his unsolved death. It’s not impossible that Detective Choi might have a backstory that will sway our view of him as the villain of this tale, but Hyun Joon’s lingering ghost tells us that regardless of the hows and whys that led to his death, he’s still gone from Si On’s side and can only keep watch over her through others. When Hyun Joon typed out Si On’s location on Gun Woo’s computer, that scene spoke volumes to me because it was the first time those two interacted and it was a united front to protect Si On. The process of grieving over his death was suspended when Si On was in her coma, but now that she’s awake and remembers him, pretty soon the flood gates will open and all the emotions will pour forth. Si On’s coma effectively negated those 6 years and in essence it’s like Hyun Joon was just so cruelly taken from her. There is no way she can even open herself up to a possible romantic view of Gun Woo, who has done nothing wrong other than not be Hyun Joon. Of course, if I stacked the two hot detectives against each other I’d still pick Hyun Joon for Si On because those two fairly thrum with chemistry around each other. I know there is still so much back story to their relationship and I hope the drama continues to dole it out in each episode because I can safely say that I’m way more interested in the past than the present.
