In addition, Tae Gu hallucinates because of events in the past, and when he sees the hallucinations, he becomes anxious. He shows the joy of killing people and only thinks of it as a game, which shows how terrifying of a psycho he is. Even his father, Mo Gi Bum feared him, and became concerned about his behavior.

Biography[]
Background[]
Tae Gu was born with a psychopathic brain, but after seeing his father Gi Bum's criminal activities in the basement of a villa, his condition became worse, and he became the serial killer he is today because of Gi Bum's words, "You are special". When he was 12, his mother suffered from depression and committed suicide. The fact that the basement of the villa was used as a crime scene is also related to his past.
Season 1[]
Tae Gu is the true culprit of the “murder case of the wife of detective Eun Hyung-dong,” which brutally murdered Moo Jin-hyuk’s wife, Heo Ji-hye, and Kang Kwon-joo’s father, Kang Kook-hwan. He is an unidentified assassin who left no traces other than the fact that he had an occlusal malocclusion that made a crackling sound when speaking.
Tae Gu uses a kettlebell as a weapon and considers himself an executioner. For example, he decides to go to prison on his behalf, and then kills Ko Dong-cheol, who was the strongest suspect in the Eun Hyeong-dong case, and then gets a piece of glass stuck in his foot, or rips off the mouth of Shim Chun-ok, who confessed to the police so that Nam Sang-tae is caught. He also killed Nam Sang-tae by strangling and repeatedly stabbing him in the abdomen when he tried to reveal the truth to Moo Jin-hyuk, or plucked out the eyes of Jang Gyu-ah, who informed the police that they saw a male state in Fantasia. In general, he kills his victims by destroying body parts or organs related to escaping and feet, confession and mouth, or sighting and eyes.
Downfall[]
He sees Jin-hyuk and Kwon-joo coming to the villa through CCTV and cuts off communication as if teasing them and lure them into the basement. After confronting Jin-hyuk and having a gunfight, communication resumes and he is arrested by the police, but he is taken to the hospital where his father used his hands and escapes under the guise of suicide by poisoning. He tries to leave by boat with a forged passport, but the police know first and arrest the broker at the port. And while on the run, he sees Kwon-joo's interview and tries to kill him, but Kwon-joo consults with Jin-hyuk in advance and deliberately entices Tae Gu through an interview. In the meantime, he provokes Jin-hyuk and tells him to kill him, but Jin-hyuk does not kill and Tae Gu is arrested.
Mo Tae Gu's brutal demise,
After that, he appears in the form of being admitted to a psychiatric hospital. After the treatment, a psychiatric hospital doctor instructs a male nurse to change his clothes, wash him, and administer medicine, but the nurse leaves Tae Gu in a wheelchair in a solitary room. As creepy screams and laughter echoed around Tae Gu, who was left alone, mental hospital patients surrounded him with various weapons. A mental hospital doctor who gave orders to a male nurse suddenly appeared in front of Tae Gu, who could not fully understand the situation. Shortly thereafter, Tae Gu was shot all over his body with various weapons by mental hospital patients, and while he was lying in blood, he was finally hit by a doctor with a meat-mincing hammer in the face and died.
