Feb 26, 2024

In Branding in Seongsu Episode 8, Na-eon, who’s in Eun-ho’s body, chases after the man with the rabbit mask. A severe headache hits her right when she manages to get a grip on him. This lets the man to get away.

When Na-eon goes to check on her comatose body, the doctors tell her that Na-eon suffered from a shock. Furthermore, they inform her that they are uncertain of the consequences if she has another shock.

On the other hand, Yu-mi speaks to the press about the suicide. She proceeds by showing them footage that makes it look like Na-eon only had a drunken accident and didn’t actually commit suicide. In light of this, Yu-mi is able to defend herself and the company.

Just a little while later, Na-eon, who is now inside Eun-ho’s body, goes to confront Yu-mi, demanding to know whether she was involved in the attempted murder. They are informed by their coworkers that Na-eon has arrived at this moment. After this, we find out that Eun-ho is actually inside Na-eon’s body. Then, while still within Eun-ho’s body, Na-eon tells him to go home.

The two colleagues reunite that night in Na-eon’s house, where they find themselves in each other’s bodies. Since the kiss caused them to switch souls, they reason that another kiss could reverse the swap. Following this, they are seen sharing a passionate kiss.

Meanwhile, we cut to Yeol-sup, who holds onto the cosmetically tested rabbit that Eun-ho rescued. She eventually says, “I have been holding on for too long” at the end of the episode.

The Episode Review

After exchanging souls, Na-eon and Eun-ho finally meet in episode eight. Yu-mi tells the press that Na-eon didn’t actually commit suicide and actually fell, as she was drunk. On the other hand, Yeol-sup seems to be hiding a plot-changing secret.

The plot is as absurd, juvenile, and disorganised as it has been in previous episodes. Strange and disturbing things happen in the episode, such as when Na-eon and Eun-ho kiss each other while in each other’s bodies. Additionally, realising the implications of that is just too bizarre and doesn’t really add up. The characters too aren’t likeable or worth empathizing with.
