S-olving The Mysteries
  CHAPTER 1 Gate G4, because 4 is pronounced as “death” in some languages. The soundproof lavatory aren’t just to fool around in; it was designed to be the perfect murdering place The Werewolf game they played (also known as Mafia game) is actually what the whole set-up is; everyone trying to find the killers and stop them before a new victim dies as time passes by. This indicates that people will keep dying until the killers are stopped. “We’re gonna be stuck with you until the end of your pre-wedding photoshoots, so please let us live.” Seul Yi’s line was a subtle foreshadowing since she was begging one of the killers (Hyun Mi) to let her live. “When you’re an IT genius, it’s all possible.” Dong Woo is openly announcing he can hack any computer system as he pleases.   CHAPTER 2 During the time when Hyerim’s eyes was on Sang Hee, Hee-Jin had quickly put in the poison inside the cup of hot water. It caused Sang Hee to die while resting all alone. Tae Hyung died due to the Salmonella infection (Salmonella infection is usually caused by eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, eggs or egg products), because the chicken he ate was not well-prepared and was still raw. Only a crew member could’ve done this; Hee Jin. The fart smell was actually the weird stench coming from the uncooked chicken. Hee-Jin counted the food trays beforehand and made sure the chicken would be served to Tae Hyung, knowing he’d choose the chicken. Seul Yi's timing to fart was just coincidence... or did they purposely give her food to make her extra gassy?   CHAPTER 3 Elleaf had cases where people died while using its product due to an allergic skin reaction. Jihye was an avid user of the product, so her skin was already partially contaminated by it. The new untested product was what made her body reach its maximum limit and thus triggered the reaction that led to her death. The person opening Dong Woo’s lavatory door was Hee-Jin, telling him the coast was clear when others were asleep. They went over to the lavatory Suho was in, and killed him inside, making sure his face was unrecognizable. Dong Woo and Suho switched clothes to pretend it was Dong Woo’s death body. Dong Woo hid at the secret passageway. By this time, Hee-Jin had given her reserve keys to him. It is mentioned several times how Hyun Mi was one of the best actresses at school. Her mourning for Dong Woo’s death was all a part of the act. We actually use the dreaded (Play Background Music) to indicate whenever someone is about to die. Dong Woo’s fake death at the end of the chapter is the only time we didn’t use a background music, because he didn’t die.   CHAPTER 4 The turbulence was the moment when Dong Woo took over the cockpit and murdered the two pilots. Because of the fight and them not putting it on auto-pilot, the airplane was very unstable. Hee-Jin momentarily touched the cutleries on the food cart, making sure the sharpest knifes would face Hyesun as the turbulence caused by Dong Woo would push the cart forward. They had already timed it so that Dong Woo would take over when breakfast was served. The weird static black and white screen on everyone’s monitor was a result of Dong Woo’s hacking. It aided as a distraction so no one would notice when Yoon Gi and Ji Yeon died in the lavatory. It was also Dong Woo who purposely shut off the air ventilation. They had predicted Ji Yeon would go and help the guy out based on their previous interactions.   CHAPTER 5 Hee-Jin never lost her key, but pretended she did in Chapter 4. It was Hoya who made the assumption she did. Her reserve key is actually her original key, but this opens up the possibility that a ‘killer’ took her key. Her actual reserve key was given to Dong Woo to enter the cockpit. There are many foreshadowing and references of Hyun Mi being the killer: “I’m not as innocent as you think I am” to Woo Hyun.

Chapter 14: I finally finished this today! This might be my top favorite mystery story here.
I also read the blog posts about the random facts of the story and I love how much research is put into the story. I like the foreshadowing used in scenes that I never paid close attention to like how the killers did their thing without no one suspecting them.
Of course, I will be reading the prequel, "The Target".

Chapter 12: I guess I was right about who Sheep is but I didn't expect who Wolfie is. Remember how in one of my earlier comments I mentioned how I suspected one person of being a killer.
Mira and Sohee are like the examples of friends for life but when it comes to death, one wants to survive and won't hesitate to get rid of the other to make sure they live longer.

Chapter 11: I started this story with Hee-Jin being a character whose storyline I'm interested in but now it's Hyun Mi who caught my interest. I nearly thought she did die in this chapter but luckily she's still alive. I like how Hee-Jin is taking her relationship with Minseok slow, it might also be because she doesn't want to get together with him after Eun Kyung died.
Mira and Hyerim found one killer, which means one of the other survivors is the 2nd one.

Chapter 10: Is it bad that I hate Hyerim because of how she manipulates Seong Yeon? Also, poor Hyun Mi, she lost the love of her life.
Reading about Seong Yeon's death scene made me think of that one scene in "Halloween 2" where Michael Myers uses boiling water to kill a nurse at the hospital. I turn away from the screen when that scene pops up. I can handle reading gore but seeing it in movies. dramas or video games just disgust me.

Chapter 9: Not going to lie but I like how everyone is suspecting one another to be the killer. They don't realize that they're slowly making it easier for the killer to get rid of them.
I think I, maybe, kind of got an idea who one of the killers might be. Something that happens in this chapter made me realize that the person is doing it as revenge for what the others did to them.
Purple-Peng 1301 streak #6
Chapter 8: No offense to Sung Yeol, Seong Yeon, and Mira but that is no way to prove someone is a killer, it's more of falsely accusing an innocent. I like how Hyun Mi points out how she trust Woo Hyun and knows he isn't the killer.
I still wonder how can Sung Yeol tell that it's Suho based on the killer's height, some of the other guys might be a similar height. Then I suddenly have a thought that maybe the killer could be one of the girls.
Purple-Peng 1301 streak #7
Chapter 7: I'm getting the idea that everyone on the plane must have or may have once committed a crime and the killer is delivering their form of justice against them. Also, something tells me that plan to fake a death might backfire and the person who pretends might die from it.
Since I watch a lot of horror/thriller films, I feel like there might be more than one killer. Like one does the killing and the other one kind of tells the killer where the victims are.
Purple-Peng 1301 streak #8
Chapter 6: I feel like elevators are the most dangerous unexpected weapon to kill a person because you never know when something bad will happen when you're in one.
I also began noticing that all the characters say something that makes me suspicious of them. It's like very common of each of them to begin accusing one another because the person they suspect does something suspicious, that might end up backfiring on them especially if they're wrong about the culprit.
Purple-Peng 1301 streak #9
Chapter 5: I still find it weird for people to be doing "things" in an airplane bathroom.
The part where Eun Kyung hit Hee-Jin made me nearly think Hee-Jin might be the next to die. I like how she talked back to Eun Kyung who cheated on Min Seok first but have the nerve to get angry at Hee-Jin when it's her actions that lead to Min Seok getting to know Hee-Jin.
Purple-Peng 1301 streak #10
Chapter 4: I feel like the body count is increasing since it looks like 3 people died in this chapter.
No offense to Eun Kyung but if you're trying to rekindle the love you and Min Seok had then you shouldn't be thinking of starting something with another guy.
