The Korean drama S Line has left fans with many questions after its shocking finale. The show stars Arin as Shin Hyun-eup, a girl who can see red lines connecting people’s heads. These lines show who has had s*xual relationships. The six-episode series ended with a big twist that changes everything.
What Happened in the Final Episode of S Line?
In the last episode, Lee Kyu-jin (played by Lee Da-hee), Hyun-eup’s teacher, reveals she can also see the red lines. She gives special glasses to people that let them see the lines too. This leads to chaos as people start killing their partners to make the lines disappear.
Kyu-jin kidnaps Hyun-eup’s friend and traps them in a strange school building. Hyun-eup fights to save her friend but gets stabbed by Kyu-jin. Her blood rises into the sky and turns into red lines that everyone in the world can now see.
“The blood that was shed from Shin Hyun-eup’s body started to rise up and turned into a huge red ball. The ball burst and turned into red lines, which were now visible to everyone.”
After this event, people start wearing sunglasses and masks to hide their lines for privacy. The show ends with Hyun-eup visiting her dead friend’s grave when Kyu-jin suddenly appears again, suggesting she might not be truly gone.
Who Is Kyu-jin Really?
Kyu-jin is the main villain of the show. She can see the red lines without glasses and wants everyone else to see them too. She believes this will expose bad people and clean up society. But her methods are extreme – she makes people kill their partners.
Some think Kyu-jin might not be human. She survives being stabbed and keeps coming back. She tells Hyun-eup:
“You’re blessed and it’s a gift.”
Kyu-jin also has a connection to Hyun-eup’s past. Hyun-eup’s mother appears in the final episode and says she also had the glasses, which made her kill Hyun-eup’s father. This confirms the glasses make people violent.
What Happened to Joon-sun?
Joon-sun was Hyun-eup’s friend who she liked. On her birthday, they sleep together and a red line appears between them. But soon after, Joon-sun dies in a strange accident at a construction site. Many fans believe Kyu-jin caused his death to hurt Hyun-eup.
“The timing and the way it happened, especially when he was bringing her cake, all seem a little bit too off to make it seem like it happened naturally.”
Will There Be a Season 2 of S Line?
The ending leaves many questions unanswered, making fans hope for a second season. The show is based on a webtoon that starts with everyone already seeing the red lines. This means season 1 might be a prequel to the main story.
“This entire show has been a prequel to the actual story, which definitely proves my theory right. But this also means that we’re potentially being set up for a second season.”
However, the production company Wavve hasn’t officially announced season 2 yet. Korean dramas often don’t get second seasons, but some recent shows have broken this trend. The surprise return of Kyu-jin at the end suggests the story isn’t over.
How Do Fans Feel About the Ending?
Many fans are confused by the sudden ending and want more answers. Some think the show could have been better with more episodes to explain things properly.
“Noooooo. The entire ep 6 was so bad, it kinda feels like another drama. They fumbled so hard, they could’ve made another season with this kind of plot ugh!”
Others are excited about the possibilities for season 2, especially now that everyone can see the red lines. This could lead to big changes in how people interact and judge each other.
What Does the Ending Mean for the Characters?
Hyun-eup is now the only person who can’t see the red lines, which is the opposite of how she started. She’s alone but finally free from feeling cursed.
Han Ji-wook, the detective, learns a shocking truth about his family. He sees his father had a red line connected to his niece, meaning his father was abusing her. This changes how he sees the red lines – they’re not a gift but a curse.
Kang Seon-a wakes from a coma with no red lines after Kyu-jin kills her grandfather. She’s embarrassed by Ji-wook’s many lines but they seem to have a better relationship now.
The ending shows a world where everyone’s s*xual history is visible. People try to hide their lines with sunglasses and masks, but the damage is done. Secrets are out in the open, changing society forever.
How Does the Webtoon Compare?
The original webtoon starts where the drama ends – with everyone already able to see the red lines. This suggests the drama’s first season was setting up the main story from the webtoon. If season 2 happens, it would likely follow the webtoon’s plot more closely.
Fans of the webtoon might get answers to questions like:
- Why do the red lines exist?
- What is Kyu-jin’s true purpose?
- How does society change when everyone can see the lines?
What Are the Chances of Season 2 Happening?
While nothing is confirmed, there are good reasons to hope for season 2:
- The story isn’t finished – Kyu-jin returns at the end
- The webtoon has more material to adapt
- The show has created buzz online
- Some Korean dramas are getting second seasons now
However, the show’s ratings haven’t been made public. This makes it hard to predict if Wavve will renew it. Fans will have to wait for an official announcement.
