5 questions we have after watching episode 6 of 'Lovecraft Country'

  • Warning: Spoilers ahead for episode six of "Lovecraft Country."
  • Episode six of "Lovecraft Country" premiered Sunday on HBO.
  • The episode, called "Meet Me in Daegu," focused on a young Korean woman named Ji-Ah.
  • As with other parts of "Lovecraft," there's also a supernatural element to this episode.
  • The episode also raises lots of questions, especially about Tic's fate after Ji-Ah has a terrifying premonition.

Episode six of HBO's sci-fi drama "Lovecraft Country" premiered on Sunday, and the episode introduces several new characters while also raising a lot of questions.

Set in the South Korean city of Daegu during 1949 and 1950, the sixth episode, titled "Meet Me in Daegu," focuses on a young woman named Ji-Ah (Jamie Chung).

Ji-Ah is a musical theater enthusiast and works as a nurse in a local hospital. She struggles to please her domineering mother, who wants her to bring home more men to restore honor to their family.

But partway through the episode, it's revealed that Ji-Ah's mother isn't looking for a husband for her daughter. Rather, Ji-Ah is a kumiho, or nine-tailed fox spirit who masquerades as a beautiful woman and feeds on humans' souls. The more men Ji-Ah devours, the closer she gets to returning to her human form.

Complicating things is the fact that Ji-Ah isn't sure if she's ready to give up her kumiho form — as well as the fact that she encounters Tic (Jonathan Majors) during a terrifying experience at the US Army base, and soon grows to have genuine feelings for him.

There's a lot to unpack in "Meet Me in Daegu." Here are five questions we had after watching the episode.
