 Apatu:

Was she the one who send signal code? Which transmission interrupted by LKM in ep 4. The code saying "s/he is in dormitory". Someone has posted those signal code above.

She seems suspicious as she was only the one who didn't help Youngro hiding Suho at all & in ep 1, there was scene where Jeong Min mentioned her old name. The possibility is there

Translate:
- She always receives calls
- Change her name
- Always going out during night
- The only one who didn't help in hiding Suho
- She also knew Youngro is from rich family by saying she always giving people rice cake. Maybe she's already know about youngro's family background

+1 during ANSP raid dormitory in ep 1, Hye Ryeong was on the phone and her face was really shocked at that time

Not to mention, same scriptwriter and director from Skycastle, which all hints were shown in ep 1 Skycastle too

 Chibi:

I bet there is a legit NK spy planted in Seoul (other than the ones carrying out the prof-kidnapping mission). I bet there is also a genuine student protestor who was suspected to be a potenial Commie from the North. Also, who is Boon-Ok's sister? And there has to be a genuine defector from NK too? Contenders: Ms Pi, the Cook, Dr. Kang, Hye Ryeong....?

I also think there is going to be a LOT of double-crossing in the future, esp because a 'national' agenda now has people's kids involved!

My theory Ms. Pi is a former protester who was tortured

the show is actually good stop the hate and talk about the episodes found many speculations from fans online what do you all think? 

- Cheong Ya is a NK spy that's related to Sooho or she's Boon Ok's communist sister. She is taeil's mistress and close with the women of NSA + aemin party so she can get information. She looked shocked when Nam Tae mentioned taedong river 1 so it seems like she knows this person’s identity and maybe it’s not sooho?

-Miss. Pi was a previous protester or NK defector,  this is why she is cold towards the ANSP agents. 

-The person beside Miss. Pi in the folded photo, which could be the old housemother, her sister, best friend, etc. is somehow related to either youngro and boon ok…maybe they are daughters of this person?

- Food for thought, who is the family that had been ruined by Boon ok’s sister and what is the relationship between Boon Ok and Miss Pi’s old teacher? 

- The kitchen lady is an ANSP agent that's monitoring Youngro. She could hold a gun like a pro and Youngro’s father said in ep 5 that he sent someone to keep an eye on his daughter. Plus, she always gives youngro special treatment like giving her extra sausages.

-Hye Ryeong is a NK spy. She sang an opera song the NK used for transmitting messages. It was said in ep 5 that when this specific song plays it is followed by instructions from the North. Also, she is always waiting for calls (supposedly from her fanboys) but is this just a ruse and in order to have secret communication with the North? To add on, when Miss Pi told her she couldn’t receive phone calls as punishment she was so angry. She also changed her name and hye ja is her real name.

- Hye Ryeong Secret mission possibilities

• When Miss Pi heard there’s a spy she rushed to a secret room. What if there’s something in this room that the spy wants?  Only a female student is allowed access to the dorm.
• To keep an eye on Youngro because of how powerful her father is but idk if Hye Ryeong knows this info since Youngro is very secretive about it

-Miss Pi has a German dictionary on her table and Germany was where Lee Kang encountered the NK spy and his friend was killed when they jumped off the train...is this just a coincidence or is Miss Pi related to this incident? This further ties into the theory that Hye Ryeong was sent to the dorm to obtain something that Miss P possess

- In ep 5 when Sooho went to dorm 207 to get the radio he saw a green scarf sitting on the chair. It's the same green scarf that Youngro gave to her brother when he visited the dorm. Sooho was watching them from the balcony at the time. Does this mean her brother is here as a soldier to protect the hostages and does Sooho know this? In the future if Sooho has to hurt Youngro’s brother will he do it?

-Is Sooho being trapped by Choi Soo Ryun (Ms. Choi), the NK lady, who is always with Sooho’s father? Additionally, if Hye Ryeong is a NK spy, what if she was sent to the dorm for her mission by Ms. Choi as well? And what if Ms. Choi her mother? Also what if Ms. Choi is collaborating with the opposing party to overthrow Aemin’s party? (In ep 6 preview we see Han Yi-Seop, the professor being shot, which is a win for the opposing party. This could be a big plot twist and below are some clues to this theory.

1. The code that ANSP got from the bug was different from the code that Sooho got. ANSP's code said "Hosu women's dormitory, I'm being sought, high risk of being exposed, hope to go north as soon as possible." From the sentence it shows that the sender of the code is still in the dormitory. Important to note when the ANSP got these codes, Sooho had already left the dormitory so how could he send the code? Because while in the dormitory, Sooho can only receive code signals from the Pyongyang radio, not send them. So this was a trap set by Ms. Choi. and it means that the sender of the code is still in the dorm with Hye Ryeong being a high suspect

2. The next code that Sooho got from the Pyongyang radio when he was at the base after leaving the dorm was to immediately take Han Yi-Seop (the professor) to the north. Then there are some codes that show the coordinates of the money and weapons storage points on the mountain near Hosu Women’s Dormitory coincidentally the same location of the bugged code ANSP found hmmm and this is how he was trapped

3. Ms. Choi always insists Sooho’s comrade (joo gyeok-chan) to keep an eye on Sooho under the pretext of not changing ideologies, but the true goal of this is to find out his whereabouts and frame him as the spy. She also gives gyeok-chan a green light to kill Sooho if his ideology changes. Working with the deputy director while secretly giving orders to kill his son? This is some highly sus behavior 

4. This trap is not only done once or twice, but during missions in Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, and Warsaw. All of that under the power of Ms. Choi because she wants to thwart Sooho's every mission by trapping him as a spy, making Lee Gangmoo keep chasing him.

-Seol he's father has been repeatedly mentioned in the drama. We know he is the president of Baekha Brewery, he paid for the festival prizes so he has lots of money, and Gwang Tae immediately shifted his focus from Hye Ryeong to Seol he after she revealed who her father is. Her father must be someone very influential as we know Gwang Tae is attracted to status. With all this money and power, Seol he’s father must have political ties. What if he’s a major game player for Aemin’s opposing party and secretly working with Ms. Choi?

-Taedong River 1 possibilities if it's not Sooho: joo gyeok-chan (soohoo’s comrade who was smiling when kang moo mentioned soohoo is taedong river 1), Hye Ryeong, Cheong Ya, Sooho has a twin, someone that hasn’t yet been revealed in the story 

 Superblooni:

Btw why did we get three episodes on last week? we got an episode on the 24th, 25th and 26th which is pretty weird. Will it keep happening or whats going on?

That was a one time event due to the ongoing controversy surrounding the plot of the drama. Next week is the regularly scheduled Saturday/Sunday. 

Guys there is a character introduction in the JTBC site in Korean but you can translate the page in English roughly.
Im Soo-ho and Jung Hae-in(Male, 27 years old, real name Rim Tae-san) Nampa Agent

""Among the boarding students in Sillim-dong, he is known as a graduate student in the Department of Economics at the University of Berlin who is preparing his master's thesis on the subject of 'Park Chung-hee's economic development policy', but in fact, he is a Nampa operative. 

When his father, who was a musician with a genius talent, was driven as a reactionary and kicked out to the Musan coal mine in North Hamgyeong Province, his mother, who was a member of Mt. Baekdu and the daughter of a key member of the Central Party, chose to divorce and abandoned him, his sister, and his father.

After that, he received a call from his country to become a 'revolutionary' and graduated from the 'Geumseong Political and Military University', which trains operatives. He was reborn as an agent with the same physical strength. Before leaving for East Germany on an overseas mission, his sister Su-hee, who hung a dove pendant necklace around his neck and said that he must return safely, is the only one he loves more than his homeland. 

He was carrying out operations in Europe with a desire to return to life, and then recruited Han Yi-seop, a professor at Hankuk University, the economic brain of the opposition presidential candidate, and infiltrated into Seoul in April 1987 after receiving an order to defect to North Korea. While building friendships with Oh Kwang-tae, Professor Han Yi-seop's assistant, he meets a woman at the first meeting of his life at the request of Kwang-tae...
