More than a mask.
Looks more feminine/princess-like. The pale/weak/sickly presentation also has its appeal at times in culture I think.
From a story perspective, a handkerchief let's her take it on/off rapidly, leading to scenes like her sniffing MC out. If an effective mask was worn, she wouldn't catch into the fact that MC didn't smell bad.

You're not thinking like a pervert enough, Darth.

Wearing a mask means you are either sick or a delinquent. That's clearly not hunter Cha's image.
Anyone interested in watching the Korean Live Action? I am looking for to it.
Episode 10 felt like half a filler episode.

-------------------------------------
Well. Now I have to wait another week. This was pretty much a set-up episode.
Yes there was some action, but besides Cha's moves being kind of flashy, the episode was mostly seeing Choi shoot fire, everyone else more or less brawling, and then getting 1-shot by Ant King more or less.
The Korean S-classes are now second grade on the relative power scale. Goto shits on them, and it looks like Ant King will shit on Goto if the breaking weapon is an accurate tell. Jinwoo will eventually beat the ant, though whether he'll struggle is yet to be seen.
If the shadow soldiers are commanded to stop lethal damage rather than on Jinwoo's command, it's pretty funny that it waited so long.

maybe he saw the ants coming on the live television feed?
also, they can send a camera-man down there and get live video coverage, but the reception isn't good enough for them to communicate between teams on the island?

Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
If that was the case then that's and a coincidentally close save by the soldiers.
Plus, the ending has him sitting and waiting on the roof before standing up to Exchange. He didn't have a hand-held broadcast device in his hands.
Agree about reception.

Way to show up just after the nick of time, Jinwoo.
actually, do we know what's the deal with the island anyway? how did all the super ants get there?
my guesses are either a dungeon break and the ants came through from an insect gate dungeon (in which case, the original gate should still be there, right?), or this was a research facility to study monsters and the ants escaped and now it's all classified data.
It's an S-Gate that wasn't conquered and monsters come out from it.
There's a 10min delay, but we didn't see Jinwoo watching TV and go "This is bad, I should help."
We see a cool pose on top of a building, then he stands up and thinks "It's time - Exchange."
Thus far we haven't been shown any indication that his soldiers communicate telepathically to him. Jinwoo had to guess at events when his soldiers were being killed off in the Castle level.
So, currently neither scenarios make complete sense from a continuity perspective.

His reason for not joining this raid was to stay home with his family, after the mom just got cured. I'd assume he was spending time with the sister and mother, in the apartment, possibly watching the TV broadcast with them. However, I very much doubt he would "exchange" right in front of them. He would thus first go away normally, to the rooftop or wherever, and then teleport to the island.
Forgetting the whole communication contradiction, the TV broadcast was delayed by 10 minutes, which obviously would prevent Jinwoo from reacting in real time, if he was only relying on that. It would explain why he was only reacting so long after things started going south. Perhaps even if he can communicate with the ants hiding in people's shadows, he wasn't doing it before, only watching the broadcast. When things turned bad in the delayed broadcast, he would then rely on the ants. That would, more or less, explain why he didn't seem to act a minute too soon. At the end of the day, since he refused to join the expedition, it would be kind of hypocritical to monitor it in extreme detail. If he's so interested, he should have been there. This way is more honest, in a certain sense.
Yeah, but doesn't he see through his Shadows in realtime?
Does he? I don't remember a scene displaying such a skill, plus Bill also said he doesn't remember telepathic communication between Jinwoo and the shadows. He does know when one is destroyed, though. Perhaps a hiding shadow was accidentally destroyed by the humanoid ant, triggering Jinwoo's sense of crisis immediately. Other than that, can his shadow soldiers hide anymore in the shadow of a dead person?
Well, there was the scene where he had his shadows patrolling the city at night, Batman style, and he could switch places with them. Which doesn't really work if he doesn't know what they see.
They can look for anything strange and then either deal with it or come back to report to him. He can also switch places with them when convenient.
Back in the army, patrols were sent out, even though the commanding officer obviously couldn't see what the patrols could see. The patrolling soldiers were assumed to react appropriately when noticing anything strange or alarming.
My reaction when this episode ended: Fuck you, you overly cool edgelord! LOL
Jinwoo is like that chuunibyou kid, except he HAS actual powers.
The episode was fine, but the fighting really was disappointing. The way all these S-class hunters moved just didn't look impressive. The A-rank that Jinwoo absorbed during the winter-gate wasn't less impressive than these S-rankers. Also, the animation just sucked for these battles, but that comes with another issue: We NEVER get any actual battles. It's always "A is stronger than B, A defeated B". An exciting battle would be "A and B are close to each other in prowess, A narrowly manages to beat B". And this happens throughout the episode, all the way to the end where Goto appears, makes himself look more powerful than the other S-rankers, only to shit his pants when the king ant activates its full aura. And next week Jinwoo will join and probably destroy the king ant.
btw. here's something I don't understand: Regular hunters cannot get stronger, alright. Does this mean those special abilities are also fixed? Did the fire guy have the ability to shoot fire from the beginning of his awakening? Could beast-guy immediately transform into a beast? Or are thse abilities that are trained?
Btw beast-guy being afraid of being "ugly" while transformed is the dumbest bs ever. Like there's not a millions of chicks (and dudes, sigh) who are into buffy furry dads.
The tv reception thing didn't even register for me, because of how fucked up it is to air this battle anyway. It's like airing live-footage from Ukraine fighting Russia. Complete lack of morality.

you're forgetting the 're-awakenning' part.
most start between E-A level, S-ranks are those who got re-awakened and had mana increase. it's stupid.
so the tiger beast guy was probably hand-to-hand fighter, maybe a little but of transforming, but then got a power boost. same with the rest.
power (mana) and the abilities are set in stone, but you can still get better at fighting by trainning, being in better physical shape, putting yourself in the correct mindset, learning tactics, working together with others... the skills that are actually intresting to watch.
isn't jinwoo being an edgelord chuunibyou asshole that sucks kinda the entire point? the whole point of how he behaves is supposed to make the audience dislike him, isn't it?
