High School Return of a Gangster (2024) has kept fans on the edge of their seats with every new episode on VIU. Despite its captivating storyline, the drama wraps up with just eight episodes. With the finale airing on Wednesday (19/6/2024), several burning questions remain unanswered. Here are the top five mysteries we hope to see resolved in the last two episodes.
Will the Real Song Yi Heon Return to His Body?

From the beginning, we’ve been intrigued by Song Yi Heon’s (Yoon Chan Young) predicament. In episode 2, it was revealed that his soul was still trapped in his body, which is now occupied by the spirit of Kim Deuk Pal (Lee Seo Jin).
When will Song Yi Heon’s soul finally return to his body? Perhaps when Kim Deuk Pal successfully resolves all of Yi Heon’s life issues? These include healing Song Min Seo (Lee Hee Jin), ensuring Yi Heon enjoys his school life, and helping him get accepted into a university.
Moreover, Kim Deuk Pal has taken on a new mission: freeing Choi Se Kyung (Bong Jae Hyun) from his father’s abuse. Will Yi Heon reclaim his body once all these problems are sorted?
What Happens to Kim Deuk Pal’s Soul?

The fate of Kim Deuk Pal’s soul is another big question mark. In the first episode, it was mentioned that Kim Deuk Pal’s body had been cremated. So, what will happen to his soul once Yi Heon returns? Will he move on to the afterlife, or is there a surprise in store?
Given the drama’s fantasy elements, anything is possible. Could it be that Kim Deuk Pal’s body was never cremated and he’s merely in a coma? Was the tragic event in episode one an accident or something more sinister? If Kim Deuk Pal’s body is still around, will the Chilsung gang, led by the missing Seo Chil Sung (Lee Kyoung Young), reunite?
Is Song Yi Heon at Risk of Expulsion or Imprisonment?

In the last couple of episodes, Kim Deuk Pal, inhabiting Yi Heon’s body, has focused on helping Choi Se Kyung. This has angered Se Kyung’s father, Choi Myeong Hyun (Seo Tae Hwa), who is pushing for Yi Heon’s expulsion from school. Adding to the trouble, Lee Mi Kyung (Hwang Bo Ra) has paid Hong Jae Min’s (Joo Yoon Chan) friends to falsely accuse Yi Heon to the police.
Will Yi Heon manage to clear his name and avoid these harsh consequences? The tension is palpable, and viewers are anxious to see if justice will prevail.
Will Chairman Bae Finally Appear?

Chairman Bae remains a mysterious figure. There have been hints that Song Yi Heon might be his son, but the truth about Chairman Bae’s identity is still unclear.
It’s evident that Chairman Bae has hidden Yi Heon and Min Seo for a reason—likely due to having a legitimate family elsewhere. Will Chairman Bae make an appearance in the final episode? And is he the mastermind behind Lee Mi Kyung’s actions against Yi Heon and Min Seo, or is someone else pulling the strings?
Will Hong Jae Min Betray Song Yi Heon?

The dynamics between Song Yi Heon, Choi Se Kyung, and Hong Jae Min have been complex. In teasers for episode 7, Jae Min and Se Kyung appear to team up to assist Yi Heon. Yet, another clip suggests Jae Min might betray him.
Will Hong Jae Min turn against Song Yi Heon? Or will they all end up as friends once Yi Heon’s soul returns to his body? The final episodes promise to unravel these intricate relationships.
With only two episodes left, fans of High School Return of a Gangster are eagerly waiting to see how these questions will be answered. What are your thoughts and predictions for the finale? Share your theories in the comments below!
