The Imoogi finds the CEO. Notice that the Imoogi’s sleeve is the same color as the outfit he had worn when he was in the park with Ji Ah.

Ji Ah stabs Lee Yeon and that’s why she's seen crying because once she was no longer possessed, she realized what she had just done.

After Lee Yeon gets stabbed by Ji Ah, they’re all like YOLO and have some sexy time lol! I think this happens right after Lee Yeon is stabbed since in the bed he’s bandaged up probably from the stab wound Ji Ah had previously inflicted.

Ji Ah and Lee Yeon make a trip to that island...maybe to kill the original body of the Imoogi (White Snake) or get its blood or venom?

With Yuri, I’m not sure what will happen to her. It looks like the Imoogi is about to stab her with the same hair pin she used to stab Lee Rang with. 

Lee Yeon returns from his trip with Ji Ah and finds that Lee Rang is healed. I’m not really sure specifically how though. It’s either the Imoogi healed him (remember that the Imoogi has the power to bring things back to life like that bird) or Lee Yeon found some sort of treatment.

Ji Ah will try to harm herself in order to prevent the Imoogi from doing something to someone. Maybe her mom? The pants and the shoes do look like something her mom would wear. I don’t think that’s Ji Ah’s leg and foot though because Ji Ah usually wars some sort of sneakers. And well the shoes in the second pic just looks like loafers which older women tend to wear lol. 

I guess the Imoogi gets pissed off at Ji Ah for pulling that scalpel stunt so then he mind controls the truck driver to try and run her over. Notice that she is now wearing a scarf as to hide the scar she got from stabbing herself.

Next, Lee Yeon and Ji Ah head over to the Snail Bride’s restaurant to face the Imoogi. From the looks of it, Lee Yeon is carrying a pet carrier. I feel like they’re about to perform some sort of shamanistic exorcism or something. I think once they remove the Imoogi spirit from Bok Gil’s and Ji Ah’s body using the Four Gems of the Mountain Spirits Sword, they will need an animal to contain the Imoogi spirit. I could be wrong though, but I’m just basing this theory from watching the show, “Charmed”. In that show, the sisters who are witches sometimes will use animals to contain an evil spirit. I do wonder what that animal would be though, maybe it’s the white snake from the cave? Or it could be a chicken which in Korean shamanism has been used as a proxy.

Something goes wrong with Lee Yeon and Ji Ah’s plan and I’m guessing Ji Ah has disappeared. Lee Rang then tries to go after Lee Yeon and maybe he thinks he can save his brother with that branch or dried snake skin painted with blood. Maybe the blood is from Ji Ah or from the  Imoogi’s original body which was the white snake. 

After Lee Yeon’s face off with the Imoogi, he will head over to the Office of the Afterlife to find Ji Ah after she had disappeared. I suspect that Ji Ah had probably made another deal with Taluipa beforehand without telling Lee Yeon. Taluipa moves Ji Ah up the list of the dead because Taluipa wanted to prevent another large scale plague from happening.

Lee Yeon awaits Taluipa’s decision on the matter concerning the disappearance of Ji Ah.

I had made a mistake in my previous theory about there being two Imoogis ! So now I want to rectify it ! There are LITERALLY SO MANY VERSIONS to all of these Korean myths so sometimes I don’t even bother to look up all of the different versions and just include the main version in my posts! 

Anyways, let’s re-examine the myth of “Red Flower for 100 Days”! Click on link below for the main version that I posted weeks ago:

There is a different version of “Red Flower for 100 Days” that includes an Imoogi having 3 heads (another version says 2).

From this variation of “Red Flower for 100 Days”, I now think that the Imoogi in TOTNT has TWO HEADS and NOT that there are two Imoogis! Just to be clear, 1 Imoogi with 2 heads (1 head Terry + 1 head Ji AH). 

Or you can think of the Imoogi in TOTNT as a Hydra and/or Amphisbaena from Greek mythology.

Additionally, it should be noted that the endings of this one myth can differ too. Meaning that sometimes it’s just the maiden who dies and other times both the maiden and the guy end up dying through suicide. For TOTNT though, I will still stand by my theory that there will be a happy ending for Lee Yeon and Ji Ah based off of the clues in the opening intro (again click on the link above). Just remember that TOTNT is an adaptation of many popular Korean folklore!
