That’s when I realize he has to still be alive. Jung-woo is presumed dead, but his body (along with Jo Hyun-hee’s) is never found. The bomb that Jae-woong and Seok-pil employed blows up, and everyone watches in shock and horror as the building goes up in flames. He gets everyone out of the lab, and locks himself in it with a crazed Jo Hyun-hee.

So Jung-woo ends up sacrificing himself like we knew he would. I basically took his appearance and the flashbacks to the night of the tragedy as confirmation that he made all the adults on the compound kill themselves and each other, while good Jung-woo just wanted one of them to help him and the other kids escape. It was cool seeing him fling the bad guys around and control things with his mind, but he was also scary. Jo’s monster and what Jamie was scared of. He’s murderous, ruthless, and even possesses telekinetic powers. No wonder Jung-woo tried so hard to keep him locked away. We’ve seen glimpses of him, but seeing him fully in control of Jung-woo’s body is something to behold. Yes to getting to see Jung-woo’s evil alter ego And since Jung-woo sends Ji-wook all the top secret info about White Night, everyone else in the foundation goes to prison too. Gong goes to prison, and Jo Hyun-hee has to live out her life without agency and without working on her precious experiment. I also love how all the villains get what they deserve. By targeting the decades of information and research White Night has collected over the years, they’ll never be able to build another lab and experiment on children. Jung-woo, Hye-won, and Min-jae going to the secret lab to deliver Oh Jung-hwan, while Jae-woong and Seok-pil stay behind to work their hacker manage is definitely the best way to go about things. I finally got the big team up I’ve been waiting for! And their plan was solid. Yes to everyone teaming up, and the villains getting what they deserve His alter ego is at least partially responsible for the blood bath at White Night 28 years ago.He also has telekinetic powers ( I knew he was like Jean Grey from the X-men).Jung-woo has DID just like Jamie and Jae-woong.Even Jung-woo’s formula isn’t perfect, because Jo Hyun-hee still shows signs of aging on her arm.There is more than one secret lab, so the best thing to do is destroy the shared network of information on all the computers.He purposely created the formula that way. Gong got from the VR glasses is real, but Jung-woo’s serum is needed for it to work.

The name was also mentioned when he interrogated Son Min-ho at the beginning. This is one of the names on the piece of paper Jung-woo was looking at in the last episode.

It’s the perfect leverage to use to get the location of the secret lab, but things don’t end up being that easy for Jung-woo when Jamie gets kidnapped and used as a bargaining chip. There Jung-woo finds out if he doesn’t take his pills every six hours, his aging will accelerate and he’ll die. It even manages to deliver one last misdirect, and an open ending that leaves me feeling hopeful.Īfter Jung-woo points out Oh Jung-hwan is in fact the president of White Night, him and Kim Min-jae take Jung-hwan to Soon-goo’s hideout. Episode 16 of Awaken ends up having most of the elements I look for in a finale: the characters teaming up, high stakes, and bringing down the villain.
