yestodayThis gave a lot of material. Now, we know half of the premise of the game. Now, I have a whole lot of answers about Keonhee—and some about Dongju—not so much the rest, though.
This was quite the information haul, yet there's still so much to be explained. Thanks for listening to my TED Talk; that was my "ONEUS(원어스) 'TRICKSTER' - EP.2 The Choice Game : Who Got the Joker?" digest. Tune in next time! I suppose…
Keonhee's character is hot. He has that bored look all the time, and this explained why he was so casual while wandering about in the first episode. He pulled the joker, so he knows he's safe(? Or at least more safe than the others? It's kind of hard to tell what his powers as the joker are when, you know, the tape Geonhak was watching cut off, and he… never bothered to check if he could get it working again?) Either way, I feel like we could have possibly inferred that he was the joker from his personality alone—imagine if RBW decided to not show us half of their cards and made us try to guess who was the joker as well; that would have been both fun and evil.
I would like to once again note the CCTVs. Watching sequentially, it showed Cam 04 and Cam 05 first, which left me wondering where Cam 03 was, until the every end. The events of Cam 03 happened at 10 A.M., which could mean that Keonhee's joker position was the first to be assigned. It was after this that he got moved to the area he was in in the first episode, of which I assume is the grounds the game will take place—the arena, if you will.
Seoho is utterly fucked. He didn't even get his card until way after Keonhee was entangled in the game. It's difficult to tell when Geonhak got his, but it appears to be at night, so I will assume it was at the P.M., similar to Seoho. Currently we know three: Geonhak's queen, Seoho's king, Keonhee's joker. I originally thought Youngjo's may be a queen, as well, because of his phone—but now I'm less certain, since the cards seem to have to be physical.
But, how did the six of them get wrapped up in this? Seoho is the only one who appears to be, uh, fully unaware of what's going on to begin with, because he's obviously scared out of his mind. Geonhak seemed to somewhat know what he was doing when he picked up that queen card in episode one. Dongju seemed less panicked that I would suspect someone to be when they're kidnapped… plus, he drank that water with nigh no dubiety, so he must've known it was safe, right? (Unless he was just extremely thirsty.) Hwanwoong has clearly been having visions and glimpses of the others' experiences and even the forces outside of the game. (What if he thinks the Dongju in front of him is the evil one…?) Youngjo is confusing me; how did he even get tangled in this to begin with—how did he get into that room with the posters? The same with Keonhee: he was likely the first to become involved, but how did he end up in the meeting with the hooded figure to begin with?
More questions: What was that water Dongju drank—it wouldn't have been there if it wasn't important, right? What would've happened if Hwanwoong entered the orange door, instead? How the fuck did Instagram ulzzang Youngjo get into this? What special abilities does Keonhee, as the joker, have? Do all of them have a card by now, and we just weren't shown them yet—or do Hwanwoong, Youngjo, and Dongju still not have a set position yet? Were the rules all properly explained to all of them at some point—or at least the 'find the joker' part? Why did the hooded figure have blood on their hands when Seoho first encountered them? Who even is the hooded figure—is it one of ONEUS's evil clones, or one of their manifested shadow henchmen sent to recruit them and set up the game?
Alright, listen. This is clearly giving strong Among Us energy, so I have a gist of where it's meant to go. It's a matter of them trusting each other and not trusting Keonhee. Of the interactions so far (ahem, Hwanwoong and Dongju), the trust does not seem to be going well. Let's see what happens when more of them encounter each other. Let's see how the interaction and communication plays out.
