Random Series

I passionately hope it will flop.
I loved "Squid Game", but it has already finished as far as I am concerned.
I just hate this endless milking of series. But, sadly, people will keep watching.
See you in the comment sections of Squid Game 8, Sweet Home9, Bloodhound 7, All of Us Dead 6, ete etc etc.
Just give it few years and all you will see numbers next to series names.
I am SO frustrated by this!

Interesting article, and I actually think your answer is well balanced.
(My only unhappiness is asking me to come up with a solution. I am not a writer, and this is not my job. I feel it is a bit unreasonable )

Now, we can discuss whether 2 or 4 were met, but I don't think it will change a lot because it is a matter of opinion.
I think even you acknowledge how convenient and last minute it was whether it was DEM or not.
But, I will meet you somewhere down the road, maybe not in the middle though haha. The solution had some sort of plausibility. It wasn't completely ridiculous, or outright bad.
My initial response remains though that the solution is not clever. Maybe I have different definition of that word, but to me a clever is something above average, and not many people can come up with.
I don't believe the solution was such.

But, I am the first to acknowledge that this is art, and it is subjective. We are not solving equations here.
So, I have no problems if someone thinks it is a clever, or even genius solution. I am merely stating that I don't believe so :)

I am sorry, but did you read all my post?
I said I liked it a lot, and it is very good.

I didn't say it wasn't good. I said the solution was not clever. These are two very different things.

I beg to differ. I don't think it is clever at all.
It is pure and simple Deus Ex Machina. Most of us could have come up with something similiar. To be fair, this writer is not unique in doing this though.
Sometimes writers get themselves in a such difficult position to solve something, the only way they can do it is by introducing something extremly late in the story out of nowhere that perfectly solve all their problems.

I have no problem if people loved the way it was done. Good for them, but it is NOT clever. A clever would have been to find a way with what we already have.

By the way, I liked the series a lot, and I thought it was very good, but that doesn't mean I have zero issues with it.

lol..talk about bespoke superpower lol.

It wasn't bad ending. And certainly was surprising.
However, it wasn't very satsfying either for me at least.
I actually would have preferred it if they kept him dead instead of producing a child with incredible power just to get out of the bind. I would have applauded the courage of conviction.
Ideally, I wish they had found a better way, but it is OK.
I am almost convinced that if this was up to the writer, she would have left him dead, but knowing how negatively the overwhelming majority would react to a sad ending, they waved a magical wand in the very last few minutes.

All that said, I throughly enjoyed the uniquness of the series, and had a good time with it.

I actually would like to try it as a chocoholic myself lol,

"We often regret the past and worry about the future, losing this moment now. I sincerely hope you enjoy the present moment and always stay healthy and peaceful."

That is a perfect summary of the series imo.
The superpowers, scams, and all the rest of it are just there to make things exciting, but the heart of the story are those two sentences.

Not sure how much you have already watched, but this is not your typical superpowers series usually seen in American dramas.
While these powers are important plot devices, the series is really more about relationships (all kind, not only romantic), feelings and character development.
In my opinion, the superpowers element is making it just more interesting, but it is not what making it good.
Sorry if my answer is not clear, but bottom line, if you are looking for someone who goes out evernight to save someone this is not it.

....or Chebol CEO with Chauffeur having a lunch at Subway lol.

lol.

Btw, I am surprised nobody mentioned Kopiko lol.

I would like to add the lack of other cars.
How did they know that no car will pass, and what would they have done if it did?

But, this whole staged crash I am putting under "I will let it slide just this one time" lol.

Yes :( . But they might bring it back. I know they have done this with few series before.
I actually started watching it because of Seo Hyun Jin, because I like her acting. But, I was completely sucked in into the world of that school, and these two were both excellent, but Ra Mi-ran had the more "flashy" role lol.

Any recommendation of similar dramas apart from "Hot Stove league" & "Misaeng" (these two always get mentioned)

I just have one thing that I felt was a bit fast, bu t otherwise I am happy with the pacing.
I think if the last 2 episodes can be around 80 mins, they should have enough time to wrap things well.
I think 12(maybe should have been 13) episodes for this series was a good choice. Kept things tight with very little filler scenes.

Completely off topic, but if you like to watch a good series from teachers point of view try "Black Dog".
An awsome performance by Ra Mi-ran as a veteran teacher passionate about the wellbeing of students.

Donghee & Grace are flying together :)
These two have such chemistry, and I don't mean it in a sexual way. The two actresses just look good together.
I would certainly watch a drama them being scammers together lol.

Trying to predict the end when there is time travel and superpowers is almost pointless since anything can happens.
BUT, I do enjoy reading theories. It is part of the fun I guess.
...apart from the obvious wish for ML &FL...I REALLY want to see a scene where.....

I am just curious how many here are going to wait until Sunday to watch both episodes together?
Waiting for the last episode just sucks. So, I am not watching on Saturday.

I largely agree.I never believed that she was trying to kill her.
