Secrets We Keep Ending Explained: Was Ruby Tan's Killer Finally Revealed in Netflix Show?
Trigger Warning: This article contains references to suicide and Murder.
Netflix has brought yet another show that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats. The venture in question is none other than Secrets We Keep. The episode, especially the finale of the show, has gotten everyone talking.
The show concluded on an unresolved question:, Who killed Ruby Tan? The show does not give a proper answer, yet the latest episode may point to who murdered Ruby.
To fill you in, Ruby Tan is a young Filipino au pair who disappears from an upper-class neighborhood north of Copenhagen. In the show, she opens up to Cecille, a neighbor, that she was terrified and could not stay with her host family. Cecile asks her to have a chat with her employers directly.
Ruby soon vanishes, and later her body is discovered at a marina. During the investigation, in a twist to the storyline, it is revealed that Rubby was carrying a child. Initially, the investigators suspected, the father of the family she worked for, Rasmus Hoffmans. But after a DNA test, it was clarified that he isn't the father of the child. It is revealed that his underage son, Oscar Hoffman, is the father of the unborn child.
In the ending moments, Cecile comforts Oscar's mother, Katarina, after learning the truth. Katarina doesn't technically confess, but she also doesn't deny being involved in Ruby's passing. At one point, she cryptically says, 'What if I did.'
She says that she was being a protective mother, the one who taught her child to 'fight for what's his.' Cecile's chat with Katarina horrifies her
Oscar does not face any consequences for his actions. On the other hand, his family carried on with their lives. The show presents that Katarina may have done something very sinister, but because of a lack of evidence, Ruby's murderer is not identified, and her death ends up getting ruled a suicide.
Disclaimer: If you know someone who is having suicidal thoughts, anxiety, going through depression, or is suffering from a serious mental illness, reach out to a nearby doctor, mental health expert, or an NGO for immediate help. There are several helplines available for the same.

Mercy For None review: So Ji-sub leads Netflix's gritty revenge drama that hits hard but lacks originality and depth
Netflix's latest K-drama 'Mercy For None' lives up to its title — there's truly no mercy, especially from its lead character, Nam Gi-jun. A former gangster turned avenger, Gi-jun (So Ji-sub) sets out on a relentless path of vengeance after the death of his younger brother, Gi-seok (Lee Joon-hyuk). From the first scene to the last, Gi-jun has one goal: make those responsible for his brother's death pay, no matter the cost. The premise is as straightforward as it gets: younger brother dies in suspicious circumstances, older brother seeks revenge, and a blood-soaked trail of justice follows. The show is set firmly in the criminal underworld, dominated by two major gangs — Ju-woon and Bong-san — who maintain an uneasy truce until that balance is shattered. Gu Jun-mo (Gong Myung), the arrogant and short-tempered son of Gu Bong-san, orders the killing of Gi-seok, triggering the central conflict. Watch the show's trailer here: So Ji-sub plays Nam Gi-jun with his signature stoicism, a trait fans of 'Doctor Lawyer' or 'A Company Man' will recognise. He's ice-cold, ruthless, and unwavering — a man whose pain fuels his cruelty. If you were even remotely involved in Gi-seok's death, you're either dead, or barely holding on with broken ribs. While the story lacks originality, the performances add weight. Gong Myung is a surprising standout as Gu Jun-mo. Known mostly for his soft, romantic roles, Myung turns menacing here — his violent outbursts chilling and unpredictable. Choo Young-woo also delivers a strong performance as the hidden mastermind, Lee Geum-son. His transformation from a reluctant prosecutor to a cold-blooded heir to a crime empire is one of the show's few satisfying twists. The action choreography is one of 'Mercy For None's clear strengths. The scenes are slick, brutal, and impressively shot. Two moments, in particular, stand out. The first is a chaotic brawl in a computer cafe — our first glimpse at how terrifyingly efficient Gi-jun can be in combat even with a missing Achilles Heel. The second is the final scene, where Gi-jun, bloodied and broken, sits at his remote campsite and imagines his brother beside him. He breaks down, overwhelmed with grief, and dies quietly. It's the only moment we see his vulnerability, and it lands with genuine emotion — though it feels a little too late. Unfortunately, 'Mercy For None' falls into the trap of overdoing the hero's invincibility. Gi-jun takes more beatings, stabbings, and bullets than any man should, yet keeps going like he's made of steel. During the final face-off with Lee Geum-son, he's shot twice and still manages to make it to his secluded campsite. It stretches believability to the limit and gives the show a slightly over-the-top, almost Bollywood-style flair that doesn't quite fit the otherwise gritty tone. In the end, 'Mercy For None' is a visually polished, well-acted revenge drama that doesn't bring much new to the genre. It delivers brutal fights and emotional beats, but the story is too thin and predictable to leave a real mark. So Ji-sub is compelling as ever, and Gong Myung is a revelation in his role — but the show doesn't do enough with its characters to elevate itself beyond average. Verdict: Watch it if you're a fan of dark dramas, but don't expect it to break new ground. 2.5 out of 5 stars for this tale of revenge.
