(I also only noticed this after someone else pointed out) when the cop girl visited Jong Woo in the hospital, the teeth bracelet was not on his wrist and only appeared AFTER she saw the dentist in the hospital elevator and ran back to check on Jong WooДў. First, I donвЂ™t believe the dentist is dead, but that the entire showdown scene was merely an illusion in Jong WooвЂ™s mind. I agree with a lot of things you said, but there are two things I disagree with you. He has no figure to rely on because of his familyвЂ™s difficult circumstances, heвЂ™s left to deal with it all alone and it broke him.

He is also left feeling isolated, misunderstood by his peers, and neglected by his girlfriend who refuses to take him seriously or even listen to him. His sunbae who finds him a job is only interested in connecting with his girlfriend he mistreats him and steps on him whenever he gets the chance. Jong Woo struggled with that and seems to harbor hatred towards society and to certain people that he deems below him. Otherwise, youвЂ™re considered a punching bag at entry-level and you must suffer until you build your way up. In Korean society, superiority is a huge part of the culture however, it also gets bent if youвЂ™re from a wealthy family or from a prestigious background. This all plays to shape Jong WooвЂ™s character and be the reason for his eventual meltdown. There is no father figure to take care of the family as implied in previous episodes as well. In previous episodes, she calls him to ask for money for his brotherвЂ™s hospital bills. Our protagonist, Jong Woo, comes from a humble background, his brother is sick as the drama implies and his mother relies on him. вЂњStrangers From HellвЂќ is one of those dramas that can be seen as a cultural study, the way I understood it at least. There remain some fans who have not fully understood the ending and today I am going to explain what exactly happened and my thoughts on it.

вЂњStrangers From HellвЂќ ending was shocking but the buildup sort of gave it away.
