It’s somewhat gratifying that these last couple of episodes confirmed previous musings made about Won Sang-a. Not that it was much of a leap in logic. All the facts pointed in one direction the moment Won Sang-a referred to herself as an actress — a part she relished. It is suggestive that In-hye refers to her as Ariadne who in Greek mythology was associated with the labyrinth at Minos on the island of Crete. That same labyrinth/maze was most famously known as the prison of the dreaded Minotaur who (by one account) was appeased each year with sacrifices of young men and maidens. Minotaur was finally killed when Ariadne who fell in love with Theseus an Athenian prince helped him slay the man-bull creature. This reference throws up a number of pressing questions. Who is Won Sang-a’s Minotaur? Her father? The former General Won who’s lying in a hospital bed aided by a respirator? Who might her Theseus be then? Park Sang-jae?
