ShortCircuit

There won't ever be a time when him sneezing at that moment won't be funny LOL.

It wasn't a fake body, LOL, the tattoo was there to set JiAn on the road to find murthehelp.

Weeeeell, TECHNICALLY he was 18 years in the past, because that's when the fire happened. And the kid took the man who was in the fire 18 years back, who was always GwiJu from 5 years back, LOL.

Time paradoxes are great :D

Well, unless they make a second season (pretty unlikely, but who knows) it'll be left to assumptions...

He said he got the ball from yesterday. He got dad from five years back. There's no extra explanation so I can tell whatever I see it as, too.

I am not in the right mood to fight/discuss in contradictory statements over not-well-rounded-endings of dramas right now, sorry, so I'll leave it at that.

Please use the spoiler tag, there are probably people who haven't completed the drama yet.

It was a joke, LOL. Obviously the kid snatching him saved his life. But it's still kind of eeck to think about a 5yo wandering around in a building about to explode, snatching a whole-grown man out of the freaking fire and somehow bringing him back to the exact same spot he (the kid) left. His dad ends up all over the place sometimes, though granted, he does get right back at other times.

But the risk!! eeesh.

Now I wonder if he could take something TO the past with him though, since he seems to be way more powerful than dad, who could only act in the presence of DaHae...

They kind of wasted Moon WooJin though. And in the end, they did go the more tropey way than I'd have wanted, but it was a pretty good ending after all.

Soooo... he went missing for five freaking years because the kid came and snatched him to the future?! Serves them right, having a super-powered FIVE YEAR OLD, what the actual F&CK, DaHae, what were you thinking?!!! - sent to get him back with no more instructions than that. Send him back to get King Tut, why dontcha, there's photos of his death mask all over the place, it's enough info, get get him, kid!

Is there a CPS for the superpowered? I'd like to give them a call...

The best thing is the sismance, but the ending is cut too short.

Now you can finally understand this masterpiece summary of the story :D

I don't care, he's still cute.

And the character is supposed to be kind of emotional in secret, too, so that fits.

It's a HEA with plenty of steamy extras.

Both of them are doing an amazing job. Poom tearing up when hearing Ming rejecting Joe again over Tong, Up when finally learning the truth about who his first love really was...

Both of them are feeding off each other and really making this drama a great experience. Their chemistry is chemistrying, LOL, as they say.

... And while I never warmed up to novel's Ming... I have to admit that Up is cute enough to almost make up for it, LOL.

Read the novel. They're following faithfully.

I'm only wearing heel-less shoes anyway.

And what if new Joe wasn't old Joe but that random other Joe and Ming had his way with HIM... Nope, he's scum through and through and doesn't deserve old Joe anyway. No sale for me!

So now we know one more reason why Joe couldn't have gotten the money he needed from Sol - Sol is a WAY better actor than he is a singer, LOL. I wonder what kind of idol he would've made in SK. Maybe he was supposed to be visuals only, LOL.

For someone HIGHLY suspecting that the shaman is telling the truth and the new Joe IS the old Joe reborn... Ming sure is acting stupid. So he realised he loved him and that this new come Joe is his old lover... and STILL orders him around and treats him like a servant and basically starts raping him if Tong wouldn't have come to throw a wrench in his plans... and HE's the one acting all hurt and emotional when he finally finds out the truth about old Joe and his back profile, LOL.

I mean seriously, Ming used to be so shallow that he fell in love with a man's back and then used that excuse to make a plaything out of the very man because he can't just use his words and communicate. He's such a scum.

(Oh and drama watchers, if you think he'll start changing, don't hold your breath. That is, unless the drama team decided to finally change some things and have him become more likable than he's in the book.)

I quite like how they're setting up the bone find, too - so that reservation old forest will definitely turn out to be the very place where Joe's body is lost in, and they'll dig it up just as the drama comes closer to the end :D

I wish I would've waited til this one was done airing, this is magnificent and way, way better than what I ever hoped for an actual danmei live-action!

Legend says Ming cried for so long he woke up cadavers LOL.

I'd sit through a whole movie of just Joe interacting with Other Joe's mom and Joe interacting with Wut. Precious!!! I'm so glad they're doing this so well, I wish (for so many) other danmei novels got treated like this, can we have that please!!!!

PS oh, and the BGM made such a great addition to the scene where Ming is getting jealous in the hotel... That little sad theme hit so powerfully. I'd love to listen to it more. I hope they do release the OST eventually.

TBH... Qiang Jin Jiu (Bring in the Wine), written by Tang JiuQing, is THE most romantic danmei ever written and translated into English. And I do love MDZS to death... but there's no defeating QJJ. It's also getting TLed officially into English by SSE, first volume coming in June, under the official title of Ballad of Sword and Wine.

If you can get a copy of the fan TL, get it. That is the BEST enemies-to-lovers and actually HOT and quite out in the open romance in danmei I've ever read... and since TU aired, I've read hundreds.

They put the doppelganger book in there to make it seem like they - DeukPal and YiHeon - are basically the same soul in different people. I think if/when DP is gone, his memories of being in SYH's body will remain, and also his physical prowess and whatnot.

If SYH is also in there (as he seemed to be when DP was unconscious) then he's witnessing everything and learning.

I quite like Bong JaeHyun's acting in this - he came through as totally afraid of his character's father, and then immediately became overprotective for SYH. Why didn't he want SYH to learn that JaeMin knew and was involved in the kidnapping attempt, though?

So this drama should be called - ex-gangster (who is dead in body anyway) comes to school and teaches everybody to be friends and sing kumbaya together, LOL. Despite HJM being a slow learner, that is.

PS that moment when CSK tested SYH to see if he's still allergic to pineapple made me shiver. He was straight-out telling him what he actually DID to the first CSK, and I really hope there's something stronger linking them so that they can get past that...

LOL @SeKyung calling JaeMin dumbass with such a perfect accent and contemptous tone, hahaha~

And CSK got to ride shotgun too, LOL.
