People who said "everything in episode 6 really happened but the dreamlike quality was because the recollection of events was distorted by the trauma of the accident" how does it feel to have the biggest brain

It’s 4 AM for me rn, I should probably go to bed because my sleeping schedule is a mess… but I’m dead set on understanding the timeline for the eighth sense. Sorry in advance for any misinformation or plot holes :) I’ve been rewatching episode 6 since Wednesday and I’ve just finished rewatching all six episodes again, safe to say things are becoming clearer. So first of all, it’s not a dream. The whole of episode 6, the drowning scene, jae won pulling ji hyun out of the water, it’s all very real. Even though the gas station scenes felt very surreal and almost mystical, especially with the lighting, blurred polaroid effect and music, but it’s still real?! People have already mentioned that on here; about it being real, time being warped with future events and other theories. And idc if this is obvious but I need it in writing to come back to.

Here’s my understanding of the past/present/future theories. Everything in episode 6 is the present, up until the trauma kiss. After the trauma kiss scene the screen fades to black, I believe that indicates a shift in the timeline being shown (it happened before but i forgot when exactly I’ll update later after I’ve watch it again). So the eighth sense is centered around jae won’s therapy session! How do I know this? Well after the opening theme in episode 1 the first scene we see is jae won at his therapist’s, and she says ‘tell me about your worries’. And so the story begins. He mentions in either episode 4 or 5 that his current worries kicked in after leaving the military so we meet ji hyun exactly when jae won’s been discharged. We still get ji hyun’s focus sometimes because as much I feel this story is jae won centered, ji hyun’s perspective gives a full picture of their relationship (have not grasped the whole story of why yet, probably to give depth to ji hyun and his importance in this story).

Jae won’s present day therapy session only appears after certain triggers are brought up, and the most telling one is him getting wasted, and his dad smashing the camera his brother gifted him (episode 5). I think this is the trigger that causes the whole therapy session, cause he mentions him putting up a front (his fake friend taehyung talking about his family), his dad aggression (broken camera) and other things we’ve seen. Furthermore, it was the longest snippet of the session we’ve seen thus far. It’s also all one session, we know this because they’re wearing the same clothes and hair in every therapy scene. Anyways, as he lets all his worries out and she asks what makes you happy these days. He thinks of ji hyun, tells her and then she says she should further their relationship if that’s the case. So he decides to take ji hyun to the beach, following the advice of his therapist and since ji hyun told him to rely on him. (present day leading to episode 6). So now we are in episode 6, going to the beach and all that good stuff, Jae won opens up because he’s just been advised to deepen his relationship with ji hyun and he feels comfortable to do so. They surf and give each other trauma through kisses… THE SREEN FADES TO BLACK.

We’ve jumped to the future, the lighting, tones and atmosphere after the trauma kisses has totally shifted from the rest of the episode, so it’s fitting to say it’s future events. To me that hotel scene is another trip in the future because they clearly say that they are only staying for that one night on the beach, because they don’t have clothes (and after them getting close on that trip it is safe to assume they will definitely go on more boyfriend trips). One reason I think the writers might have done this is to remind us of jae won’s current relationship with well deep relationships. All of his relationships after his brother and up till ji hyun were surface level. Why? Because he lost someone who he loved so deeply in such a traumatic way, he couldn’t protect his brother, he couldn’t protect his love so he chooses to disassociate from human relationships. But he can’t do that with ji hyun, he’s on his path of loving ji hyun. HE TOLD HIM SOMETHING HE’S NEVER TOLD ANYONE EVER BEFORE, HE WANT TO BE A PHOTOGRAPHER AND ONLY HIS YOUNGER BROTHER KNEW THAT. JAE WON IS ALREADY TRUSTING AND LOVING JI HYUN ON ANOTHER LEVEL THAN ALL HIS CURRENT RELATIONSHIPS. And of course after this we cut to them getting even more intimate and in their boyfriend era in the hotel, that’s their future. The drowning scene is also their future. And how will jae won react to *potentially losing another loved one after just starting to open up again (JI HYUN WON’T DIE THOUGH). How will he handle the guilt and pain he feels when ji hyun ends up in a hospital bed because of them surfing together in deeper water when ji hyun can swim that well? How will ji hyun handle it this time around?

Spoilery stuff below on episode 7:

Before watching this episode, I’d read someone’s comment that in the film version of the show Ji Hyun was alive after episode 6.

Everything though, from the silent opening, to what the characters were saying & their actions & reactions, had me thinking that Ji Hyun had actually died, right up until Jae Won said that he’d *almost* died in ICU.

I can’t remember what other show has taken me from devasted, depressed & confused (like if Ji Hyun was dead what on earth were the remaining episodes going to be about - one character’s grief dealing with the death of a loved one?) to elated & so relieved with just one sentence!

With episode 5 We could see Jae won is at his breaking point. I'm ready when he truly breaks down, because it's going to really hurt.

We are slowly going into the point of view of Jae won. The only moment we have with Ji Hyun this episode was interrupted by Jae Won in some sort of way (the phone call is the perfect example). We are starting to see his true self.

And his true self is hurting. More and more everyday. The only thing that bringing him joy is hurting him too because, for him, this precious boys is going to abandon him, to leave him at some point. I'm sure he is preparing himself for this.

That's why Jae Won seems a little hesitant with Ji Hyun. He is not playing hard to get. He is not having trouble with Ji hyun being a boys. He is not having trouble with Ji hyun being a freshman. He is having trouble with the fact Ji hyun is not something permanent in his life. One day he is going to leave or reject him because that what everybody does. His dad treat him like shit. His friend treat him like shit. His ex-girlfriend never truly loves him because she cheated on him. So why Ji Hyun would be any different in his mind?

But he can help it. Because he has hope and faith in this precious boys. He wants to believe that he deserves this precious love. Because he sees he is not like everyone else. He sees the way he took care of him. He sees the way Ji Hyun can see behind his mask. He wants to let down his guard with Ji Hyun.

And that what happened in episode 6. He let Ji Hyun in. But at the end, Ji Hyun still ends up leaving him like everyone else. And it's hurting real bad this time
