She was soon revealed to have survived the event that was intended to kill her.
The young woman was covered in burns and appeared to be using a wheelchair.
She appeared apathetic to her situation, but asGyeongseong Creatureseason 2 proved, this feeling was short-lived.
In fact, it gave a lot of hints as to what was to come inGyeongseong Creatureseason 2.

The najin, when not infused with anthrax, allows infectees to keep their human looks.
However, they also give their hosts accelerated healing properties and seemingly stop the aging process.
Firstly,Lady Maeda intends to continue the work that she began in season 1.
Gyeongseong Creature is an action horror-thriller television series that Kang Eun-kyung and Chung Dong-yoon created for Netflix. Set in 1945 during the Japanese occupation of Korea, Jang Tae-Sang, a wealthy informant in the heart of Gyeongseong, and Yoon Chae-ok, a highly skilled investigator, come together to face a literal creature created from the cumulative greed of humanity.
Colonel Kato directly references this inGyeongseong Creatureseason 1s ending.
Despite their previous alliance, Lady Maeda does not go easy on the merchant.
She herself then infects Tae-sang with his own najin, considering it a mercy for an old friend.
Lady Maeda’s love of science and the discovery of the najin’s abilities continues to fascinate her.
ThroughoutGyeongseong Creatureseason 2, these two conflicting plans coincide.
Lady Maeda’s love of science and the discovery of the najin’s abilities continues to fascinate her.
As a result, she uses Tae-sang in further experiments for her own pleasure.
This plan and greed for answers, however, would ultimately lead to Lady Maeda’s downfall.
Though callous and violent, these actions have a lot of symbolism.
He faced continuous experiments from his mother and her partner all to satiate their scientific curiosity.
He was constantly seen as a monster, and being treated as one eventually led him to become one.
But more than that,Seung-jo is the son of Myeong-ja (Akiko) and Commissioner Ishikawa.
Alongside this, Tae-sang assisting in Lady Maeda’s death also feels significant.
