Anything hinting at danmei in it?

We'll see next week - but think about this. If he wasn't "confirmed" dead, Bale wouldn't have come for JiAn. He never got close to them in the past 14 years after he killed her parents, so maybe he really was afraid of JinMan (plus MinHye), and only meant to come out when he was certain JinMan wouldn't stand in his way.

I kept looking through the first and last (6th) eps, trying to see if the police officer (who kept giving JiAn sideways glances when she was identifying the body) is one of the ex-mercenaries, but then, even if he was, 14 years could change a man.

But there's the "coincidental" taxi driver who just happened to be a friend of JinMan's, who also knew which crematory she should go to, and then Pasin just "happening by" in the middle of a full-on warzone (where the hell did he come from?!), and - I counted - there were less than two minutes between JinMan going into the bathroom and JeongMin going after him, and the tub is full of blood but there's no spatter (I mean, he supposedly cut the carotid) - and I keep remembering him getting great drugs to pretend he's dying of hypothermia or whatever... I very much want to believe he's setting a long-term trap to get Bale.

We'll see...

They did have a deal that she would be able to leave and live on her own if she could hit him. I guess she did manage to hit him and got to go away (it was her new address he was fixing bars on the windows and placing bullet-proof wardrobes in, LOL. )

Or he could have let her hit him on purpose in order to start off the series of "coincidences" that eventually lead to the current state of affairs. (Jeongmin came to work for him after he hacked into murthehelp and Babylon recruited him. JinMan was probably aware s*it was about to hit the fan. Or so I hope.)

They did put it up and THEN took it down?

These guys are crazy, seriously. I just wish they'd just sell the dramas to the highest outside China bidder and let them be watched by at least foreign audiences, if they're just going to sit on them until they get seriously outdated and nobody cares anymore...

Kaleidoscope of Death got a live action adaptation?! And they're actually AIRING it?!

Is this for real?!! Then where's my Immortality drama, censors?! Or did they remove everything danmei and left in only the horror?

Also, 78 eps of 20 minutes each... Is it a typo or what?

The poster gives me creepy Bad Guys echoes...

It's still a transmigration story, people die/get reborn/go to other worlds all the time :D

And obviously I might be wrong :)

Have a nice day too :)

I hope they release the BGM sometime... So far, maybe it's too soon? Let's hope they do release the whole OST.

No official release yet but...

Haven't read the novel and the webtoon is only just around the mid-timeline of the drama. So yes it's conjecture. But it looked (to me) that he did indeed get back to reality with a better outlook on it, after being given a second chance. There's a place in the story where he says he was a PITA as a teen, a rebel even to his grandma, too focused on himself to even get close to anyone else. He wouldn't have noticed his colleagues or tried to make friends with anyone. Going back with a (more) mature mindset lets him see his past mistakes and not do the same ones again. After the end, what he learned in the second try is what's remaining with him.

I mean, it's pretty (very much so) obvious that MyungHa is looking at life with a much calmer approach than a teen usually would (just look at how YeoWoon is living everything up amped to 100, whereas MyungHa is so cool about things, until falling in love for the first time, when he doesn't have any normal referral points to look to.) He doesn't change much after going back to YeoWoon. I think he's given his past life experience to deal with anything challenging him now. But if not, he still has the experiences he gathered the second time around, and he's still more mature than his age in that case, too.

They seemed interested - HyunWook, at least - but there wasn't enough time for it. But if you want it... there's insta-bromance between HyunWook and SeokHui in the later eps :D

He never was in a game. The game setup was made by Death/System to help MyungHa not go crazy while "solving" the game's mission. He had committed suicide and was given a second chance at living, while making better choices along the way. He just didn't know it before it all ended in a HEA.

MyungHa killed himself at age 29. But he regretted it at the last moment, so Death/System decided to give him another chance of making his life happier by making him THINK he was in a game focusing on making ANOTHER person happy. In the end, it's about making MyungHa love life by loving someone and learning to love himself, too.

And so, Death/System is making his better world the reality and gives him his whole life back.

(Also, LOL @Death/System being disconsolate 'cause he didn't have someone to love him, too hahaha, poor supernatural being).

There's NO WAY JinMan would fall for such a lame trick as believing JiAn was being kidnapped by Babylon. But if he did, I'd go raging mad.

I hope HE's doing a reverse trick of making them think he's gone, and then he'll come and save the day in the end. *keeping fingers crossed*

Man, Lee DongWook is aging like fine wine... He and Geum HaeNa (MinHye) are killing it. I'll be waiting for Kim Min (Pasin)'s action scenes, that man is also daaaaamn fine.

BaekDu and DuSik sitting in a tree.
K. I. S. S. I. N. G!

Yeah, that's the level of silly SeokHui can get to hahaha~

I didn't even see that guy coming, he never registered on my radar and I still don't remember who he's supposed to be, LOL. I guess to remain hidden he must really be that non-descript (though he definitely came off unhinged, LOL).

Anyway!! Puppy love and brotherhood! (LOL, HyunWook trying hard to save stupid SeokHui, who just can't learn to keep his mouth shut!)

You know what I liked best this last ep? Not even the match - but BaekDu's dad smile. He must've really been worried about BaekDu, that's a dad's love right there. *hugging BaekDu's dad*

I can't believe it myself that I got it right when I started suspecting the game's object is actually MyungHa. But I totally agree. Let them both be happy together - sorry SangWon, remain a third wheel - and let YeoWoon get LOTS and LOTS of practice LOL.

This was SO satisfying. It goes directly into the rewatch list... Lee TaeVin must be the best crier I've seen in a long time. Every time he teared up, my heart did a heartbreak sound. He is precious and must be protected! I hope he gets plenty of great main roles in the future, I'd LOVE to watch him again.

Hopefully now somebody really takes the time to seriously TL the novel, more YeoWoon and MyungHa are needed in this world!

Rewatching - "I'll tell you the next time we meet."

Why am I doing this to myself? T_T

Yeah, well, did you ever get reaaaa~lly close to a good save point in a game and then the game froze? That's what it's like for him. He's glitching all over the place and since he is IN the game - I think he's accepted he can't get out before solving the mission - losing his place in the game is pretty scary. It COULD mean never getting close to YeoWoon again for the rest of the remaining time, and dying. So yeah, he's panicking, and for good reason. Time's getting away from him, not even for his own mistakes (like when he got -99 appreciation from YeoWoon and was debuffing all over the place), but because the server isn't working right...

That would be the time when I'd start panicking myself, were I in his place.

As for why everybody else didn't dig deeper in... they're game characters (supposedly). They're not aware of their situation, as MyungHa is.

We'll have to see how deep the game/real world connection goes, though. There were some snidey comments in that memory restore MyungHa got that sound kind of threatening...
