Soon-Yi?


[Spoilers, obviously]

Can someone explain to me what happened to Soon-Yi (the adopted daughter of Tae-ho)? At the end he was able to "communicate" with her via Kot-nim, but then we saw that she had "left orbit" (or something along those lines; I don't recall exactly). Next thing, the crew seems to be happily moving on with their lives. Does that mean she was lost forever never to be reunited? I don't get it. Thoughts?

A little confusing to me, too.

Probably to set up the sequel.

She was killed and ejected into space by the piece of junk slamming into the space station thing they were in. Her body was somewhere in orbit. All the recovery company would do for free was give him the bracelet that could somehow track how close she was to leaving orbit and drifting off into space, never to be found.

Mainly, we see in an earlier flashback that Tae-ho felt guilty because he had told her to "go get a snack" when she bothered him while he was playing cards. She was killed because she wandered off into another part of the space station. The communication was Tae-ho asking for forgiveness, and a final goodbye. It wasn't ever really about finding her physical body.

Thanks for explanation. (Sorry for the delayed reply.)
