Bulgasal: Immortal Souls Episode 9 Key Moments
Revealing to Hwal that the true culprit of his family’s deaths is Ok Eul-tae, the latter moves to choke Sang-un. But she bravely keeps her stance informing him that she knows his secret. That hurting her also hurts him.
Hwal steps in to inject the tranquilizer left by the monster and promises to get to the bottom of what Sang-un revealed.
1000 Years Ago
Ok Eul-tae sees Hwal being helped by Sang-un and Detective Kwon. A flashback reveals how a thousand years ago, Eul-tae and Detective Kwon are father and son. The former though is not favored. Thus, he killed his brother who is his father’s favorite son. The murder was also witnessed by then bulgasal Sang-un.
Detective Kwon who just learned the identity of Hwal as another bulgasal confronts an impasse given his life goal of finding the bulgasal that killed his sister. Consequently, it puts him in a dilemma of trusting Hwal.
Learning of Si-ho’s pregnancy, the unfamiliar family also makes a small celebration.
Do-yun’s Plight
Do-yun visits Eul-tae who is fuming about Sang-un. Using all the help he gave to him and his brother as a bargaining point, Eul-tae requested Do-yun to bring Sang-un to him.
Sharing his problem to Hwal, the latter advises not to help the supporter. Meanwhile, Hwal asks the private detective who is also friends with Detective Kwon to find out who the supporter of Do-yun.
Do-yun informs Eul-tae he can’t bring Sang-un but Eul-tae calmly responds that if he brings Sang-un himself it might harm the people in the house.
He appeals again and uses how he is making a favor like how he fervently did when he was young.
Hwal Realizes Do-yun’s Connection To Him
Facing a no-win situation, Do-yun asked Sang-un a favor. They meet at a bus stop the next day. Honestly sharing his problem, Sang-un relented and understood his decision. But, Do-yun changes his mind and decides to just come clean tell Hwal
However, Hwal who learned from Detective Kwon about Do-yun’s betrayal arrives. Confronting Do-yun of his scheme, he tells him to leave the house and never come back. Hwal also refuses to accept his apology.
Upon knowing what happened, Si-ho calls Do-yun and sensed something wrong with him.
Si-ho tells Hwal and Sang-un about her talk with Do-yun. She relays how Ok Eul-tae has helped him and his brother when they were young.
When Hwal learns of Do-yun being born blind and just got an eye transplant, it dawns on him that Doyun is probably Achan.
Bulgasal: Immortal Souls Episodes 9 Musings
Sporting a strong male lead line, Bulgasal: Immortal Souls interestingly heightens the emotions and thrill because of Hwal, Eul-tae and Do-yun. Perhaps, the subdued bromance is one of the things that makes us stay tuned to the series end game.
Given its established premise, we knew Do-yun is linked to Hwal’s past, and most of us had deduced already that he could be A-chan. If Ok Eul-tae purposely approached Do-yun as another card he can use to lure Hwal, that is likely possible. Although we can feel that he has also grown fond of Do-yun.
The event a thousand years ago might lean to the missing puzzle on Eul-tae’s bulgasal root. We learned that Sang-un’s bulgasal life had an encounter with him. But since he also used to be a human, we shall expect how he turned into a bulgasal.
Si-ho gravitating towards Do-yun springs from their old connection as mother and child. From the preview of the 10th episode, preparations for a heartbreaking moment should be done.
