This thread is for discussion of episode 3 of Ghost. Please check the drama info & schedule thread for more info and rules on how to avoid spoilers and such.
---------------------------------------------------------
The episode starts off with a woman alone in her apartment. The words "Remember the sins committed by your hands" are written on her bathroom mirror and "Die" on her forehead. We don't know who she is though or what she did.
Kang Mi fills Ki Hyun (Ki Young as Woo Hyun) on the various aspects of Woo Hyun's life. She informs him of the major players he needs to be aware of at police headquarters like Director Shin, Director Jun and detective Kwon aka Mad Cow. Director Shin thinks of Woo Hyun like a son. Director Jun and detective Kwon, Woo Hyun's superiors, don't like him. (Please refer to the character roster for some of the other names mentioned by Kang Mi.)
It's Ki Hyun's first day at work. He learns that detective Kwon has replaced him as team leader of the cyber crimes squad. Director Jun asks detective Kwon to report anything suspicious about Woo Hyun to him. Ki Hyun has been moved into a smaller office.
Kang Mi presents a new case to the cyber squad. Internet users are taking the video of Hyo Jung's death and playing a game with it. It's called the Shin Hyo Jung game. They put someone's face on Hyo Jung's body as a way to defame the person.
An unknown woman is heading home. She thinks she's being followed by a man wearing a hoodie and quickly tries to open her gate. The man simply passes right by her on the stairs. As she goes inside and opens a window, he see the same man watching her from a safe distance. When she turns on her computer, Phantom of the Opera music starts playing. The words "Remember the sins committed by your hands" scroll across the screen.
While eating with Ki Hyun, Kang Mi spots the ID "phantom0308" on the list of user names that have playing the Shin Hyo Jung game. March 8th is Hyo Jung's birthday. Ki Hyun and Kang Mi decide to investigate this user. They get a possible location using the user's IP address and go there.
Ki Hyun and Kang Mi enter the home through a window. Inside they find a dead woman on the floor. She was strangled to death. The walls have been scribbled on. Seung Yeon attempts to get inside by using the same window and is tackled to the ground by Ki Hyun. She presents herself as a reporter for the online newspaper True Story. She had lost contact with Baek Young Seo and had come to check on her. Seung Yeon confirms that the dead woman is Young Seo.
Seung Yeon explains that she interviewed Young Seo for a story about the anniversary of Hyo Jung's death. Young Seo was the leader of a group called Shin Jin Yo, which formed around the time of Hyo Jung's scandal. Ki Hyun asks Seung Yeon to keep quiet about the case until the police investigation is over. Detective Kwon shows up at the scene and isn't happy about being left out of the loop. Kang Mi explains that their investigation of the Hyo Jung videos led them to Young Seo's house.
Once back at headquarters, they go over the evidence. They still don't know who the girl from the phantom0308 video is. It wasn't Young Seo. According to the autopsy report, Young Seo was strangled to death in the evening of May 30th. Kang mi concludes that the killer must have strangled her first and then uploaded the video, since it was uploaded after 10pm. Ki Hyun discovers that the hateful messages written all over the walls were posts made by Young Seo at Shin Jin Yo. Much to their displeasure, Seung Yeon wrote an article for True Story about Young Seo's death.
Phantom of the Opera music plays. We see a man walking around with a drink in hand but we don't get a good look at his face. The man receives a message from a user named Winter stating that Woo Hyun is investigating the Hyo Jung videos.
We see another woman, Jung So Eun, about to post a message to facebook after watching a musical. She begins to chat with a friend when her comp goes haywire. Phantom of the Opera music plays and the words "Die! Die! Die!" appear on her screen. Someone else is inside her house.
The user phantom0308 is active again. Detective Kwon, Kang Mi and the rest of the cyber team head to the location of the IP. Ki Hyun stays behind to snoop around through the user's files using Hades's laptop in the evidence room. He sees photos of Hyo Jung with a man wearing a phantom mask and sitting down talking to a man wearing a watch with a global map on it. He's about to get a closer look at the man's face when the user disconnects his portable drive.
The cyber team is on the scene. Inside the house, they find Jung So Eun hanging from the ceiling. Just like with Young Seo, her walls have been scribbled on. They chase after a suspect, who Ki Hyun believes knows who murdered Hyo Jung, but he manages to get away.
Once back at headquarters, the cyber team briefs Director Jun on what they know so far. He's upset at their inability to catch the killer. Tae Kyun informs them there's another victim. This time it's Han Yoo Ri. She's the woman from the first phantom0308 video. Her boyfriend Yang Seung Jae is a suspect in her murder. Seung Jae was Hyo Jung's manager. The cyber team decides to bring him in for questioning.
Young Suk informs Ki Hyun of what he learned after talking to So Eun's friend. Ki Hyun concludes that So Eun must have been hacked as well. Prior her death, So Eun watched the musical The Magician's Dream. Ki Hyun remembers seeing a ticket for the same musical at Young Seo's house. They were both sent email invites to watch it. Ki Hyun and Kang Mi go to the theater to investigate. They run into Seung Yeon at the ticket window. She also received an email invite. All the VIP's who receive the invite sit in the same seat.
Detective Kwon and Sang Woo arrest Seung Jae. He denies killing Yoo Ri. He says it was someone else. He explains how the computer started going haywire and scrolled "Remember the sins committed by your hands" across the screen. Yoo Ri had received an email invite to The Magician's Dream and strange things happened after that.
Ki Hyun has Kang Mi take Seung Yeon's place in the D7 seat. Nothing unusual happens until the end of the play. The main actor pulls out a flower. A spotlight shines on Kang Mi. The actor asks if she'll accept his love. The lights turn off. When they come back on, Kang Mi is gone.

So much mystery. I'm really liking Ghost but it's tough to summarize.
Please note that Ki Hyun refers to Ki Young as Woo Hyun.
