You have all asked some very good an interesting question, to which some I honestly didn’t even think about. Some of these are quite long because they need a proper explanation. I hope I managed to get everyone’s question in here. If there is anything else you’re still curious about, please do write it in the comment and I shall answer it~
 

 

 

Ji Soo is a VERY proud person who disliked Yoon Gi to begin with. The fact she was already mentally drained from the game, and then had to let go of her pride by begging Yoon Gi for an answer was a switch where she felt utterly disgusted with herself. That was the point where she felt she had no humanity left in her, because humanity to Ji Soo equaled pride and dignity. She started to see death as a blessing rather than a curse, and therefore welcomed it willingly.

Oh, and Ho Seok had gone completely nuts at this point and started hallucinating or making up stories. So Ji Ae killing Ji Soo? All a part of his brain trying to make sense of his belief that Ji Ae is alive and that Ji Soo is dead.
 

Who shot Seokjin with the arrow?
The steel zodiac balls they obtained could only be opened using the fingerprint of the person whom it belonged to. For example, Jung Kook’s sign was Cancer, but it Ye In tried to open it, it wouldn’t work, because it isn’t Jung Kook’s fingerprint. All these data were already put into the automated electric(?) arrows in the garden. They have a sensor for body heat and can distinguish one person from another. So when the timer hit zero, the arrow was programmed to shoot whoever did not manage to open their zodiac ball. If you read it carefully, you’ll know that Seok Jin opened the ball after the countdown hit zero.

 

Very simple answer. Something just happened to fall right at that moment, like a broom or something. But their fear made them believe it was Ji Ae. Her actual body was probably next door in someone else’s room. But GM would’ve prevented them from going there with the reason they need to hurry and leave now.
 

Since Ji Min died five years ago, it probably took him around that time to plan his revenge. He waited for anyone to apologize or comfort one another, but instead, they ignored each other as if nothing had happened.

 

 

 

Why do you think the cameras were there if it wasn’t for a reality TV show? Jungkook must’ve had a secret hideout (like his room, cause no one actually went in there) where he could playback and monitor everything.

 

 

He wasn’t. Most of the time, he didn’t have control over the game either. His only advantage was knowing how to play the game correctly. (There was no way he actually memorized the location of all 36 cards when playing Find The Pair, and in QnA he actually didn’t remember some answers). But he accepted that if he also died, it simply meant he didn’t deserve to survive. He recognized he wasn’t purely blameless, and therefore accepted even if Ye In wanted to surrender him to the police.

 

No. Despite his careful planning, he is rather reckless and forgets to get rid of several items. I think that makes his character seem more humane since it shows he isn’t all that perfect after all and he makes mistakes too.

 

She never saw the GM as the bad person ever since she found the diary. She had always sympathized the GM, perhaps understanding him on a more psychological level. Plus, she did have romantic feelings for him which prevents her from ever seeing him as a killer.

 

Sometimes, there are just those people you can’t get along with even though you are in the same ‘gang.’ That’s how I feel it is like for them. This one is open to your own interpretation.

 

We need to remember that the flashback we saw was mainly a dream based on Ji Ae’s point of view. Of course she would represent herself more as the good person. But was that really the case? Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t.
 

Before they were trapped, they had already shown this selfishness when they decided not to save Ji Min, and when they chose to ignore each other instead of acknowledging that someone important had passed away. Being put at the house was really a chance at redemption. But if we want to talk more specifically about within the house itself.

Soo Jung:
She is angel. She is the most selfless player. T_T Even if she survived longer, I believe she would still put others above herself. There may be times when she would doubt, but her nature to care and please others would probably save them
Seok Jin:
He is super conceited based on his desire to update his followers all the time. He didn’t have much screentime to show his selfishness, but had he survived a few paragraph longer, we would see he could pretty much become like Yoongi, though in a less diabolical way and a more “I can’t believe I did that, but I did” kind of way. He even tried to challenge the GM when he thought he wouldn’t die in the first game.
Yoon Gi:
Speaks for itself. However, as one user had beautifully pointed out. Because he is so ambitious and selfish the entire game, once he shows his concern towards Myung Eun or helped Ye In out, you know he is being sincerely genuine. But nope, still not enough to change him.
Ji Ae:
She deliberately chose to kill Mi Joo using the walling method instead of saving her using acupuncture, and she let Myung Eun die. If she had gone out, she would’ve run to the bus, not caring if anyone followed her, but not brutal enough to kill them. Though if it was Mi Joo, perhaps she’d pick up a stone as well.
Ji Soo:

During the Russian Roulette, she could choose to save herself or Ji Ae, and she chose to save herself by possibly letting Ji Ae die. Even if she didn’t kill herself, I think she’d live with extreme guilt for the rest of her life and would end up at a mental ward.

He was selfish when he let Nam Joon die! He could’ve saved him, but his bias towards Mi Joo made him go against everything. He has gone completely crazy and would end up at the mental ward too. Though unlike Ji Soo who would be calm, he’d be really crazy. Like laugh for no apparent reason kind of crazy.

Nam Joon:
He was pretty selfless too. But his simple tendency to keep every knowledge and information to himself instead of sharing it with everyone was quite selfish. He probably would’ve kept this up until the end instead of openly sharing them.

She knew Ho Seok was in a dilemma, but instead of telling him to go save Nam Joon, she indirectly begged him to come and save her. Plus, she lowkey enjoyed torturing Ji Ae during Find The Pair game. If she had survived, she’d probably continue to act as a coward. Nothing much would’ve changed.

He took Ye In’s hand and forced her to shoot the gun to her head. Had he survived longer, he’d be the type who would try his best to remain cheerful, but is really the most scared of all. He’d be the first one to cry, I think.

She killed Soo Jung. Even if it was by Yoon Gi’s influence, at that time, her mind and action wanted Soo Jung dead. Her character could go two very different ways if she survived. She can become more twisted, or turn back to the right path and be influenced by Ye In and agree everyone should work together. She is easy to be swayed, but got swayed by the wrong person.
 

Like many thriller movies I’ve watched, the killers always have access to these equipments without any background about their wealth. I shall borrow that theory in this case.
 

Like in many thriller movies I’ve watched, the screen fades to black and the ending credit rolls after the final scene is over. I shall borrow that scene in this case. XD

What if the bus driver is Ji Min?! I honestly did not think about this, so this may be open to interpretation. Maybe there wasn’t even a driver to begin with, because Jung Kook knew they’d all die from the strychnine poison?
