I hope she starts winning some of the battles that soon. I put this series on pause because I really hope it's…
> I always get mad and stop watching. I guess that means they are good because I get so pissed. đđ
Yep. hahaha. The writer and actors really caught your emotions. :p
I totally agree, it is hard to watch. The only way I can stand it is, I keep on thinking she's going to get back up better and more successful, and everyone who doubted her, including her boyfriend's father, and especially her step sister, will fall very hard.
Hyun Sung is a bad boyfriend. If he truly cares about her, he wouldn't alienate her from her co-workers and friends, not even someone who could be his rival.
His insecurity is so high, he can't see that he's actually hurting her. In the first place, he's the boyfriend, he already âwonâ. He has serious trust issues if he needs to keep Uri away. No, not trust issues against Uri, trust issues with Suji. He can't trust her that she'll only love him.
If only he wasn't so insecure, he would have known there's another video and could have addressed it together. They can even join forces to help Suji and protect her.
Some men and their foolish insecurities and trust issues.
I just realised, how hard was it for EunJung to take on the role and the scenes considering how they went through something similar during their T-ara days?
Prime example of: 1. Useless English title. 2. Wrong marketing message.
The original Japanese and Korean titles are MORE ACCURATE. The English title «Goodbye Earth» sets the wrong expectations, which leads to disappointment from the audiences.
Secondly, they marketed it as sci-fi and apocalyptic when it has nothing to do with those other than as a literary device to set the stage for the story. It is a life and social story, nothing sci-fi, nothing âlet's try to save the Earth and show world unityâ.
They should've simply translated the original Japanese and Korean titles, which are the same. Whoever thought that it is appropriate to give it a different English title, did not even bother to watch the series or check the original source material.
Wrong marketing + Wrong title = setting the wrong expectations = massive disappointment for many.
Using the word âfatâ is itself inappropriate and offending. It is also unscientific and not the proper term to use.
So⊠^_~
Anyway, you are forgetting that, borrowing your terminology, âfatâ is used as literary device. When you write stories where there are special abilities, the golden rule is to have an antithesis to that power. In this story, they used, borrowing your word again, her being âfatâ as the antithesis to her ability to fly.
In addition to that, there is a world of difference between being, âfatâ (again your own word) and being âobeseâ.
In this show, they made it crystal clear that the character is âobeseâ not âfatâ. Don't ever mix the two words.
There are, borrowing your word, âfatâ people who are not obese. So, mixing the two is very inappropriate and can cause unnecessary confusion and misunderstanding.
The character in question is obese, the show made that crystal clear. She has depression, and goes through a lot of stress, and food is her escape. Sadly, her body cannot metabolise the food she's eating fast enough, which resulted in her getting obesity.
It is okay to be âfatâ but not okay to be âobeseâ.
Final nail here, they've shown that her character also have an issue in confidence. She can fly even though she is, borrowing your word, âfatâ. They showed two scenes, one in each episode (1 and 2). So, while she has an obesity issue (NOT being âfatâ issue), they also want to show that being âfatâ should not make a person discouraged.
So, calling them out for, your term, âfatphobiaâ is inappropriate as they've showed the message that it is okay to be âfatâ, but not âobeseâ.
They addressed the difference between âfatâ and âobeseâ carefully, and it is very sad that people missed it because they only looked at the surface of the show.
Remember, it is okay to âfatâ but not okay to be âobeseâ. It is also important to remember there are people who are âfatâ but are not âobeseâ. Two different things that shouldn't be mixed.
I was thinking about âlittle broâ power and its limitations. From the last episode we can confirm he really…
Yep. He can also travel anywhere if he wants and discover and listen.
You are right, I'm thinking as well that he'll found her family are scammers through his traveling and he'll probably go down another emotional rollercoaster. Probably this time, they will lose their connection and he won't be able interact with her when he's traveling, preventing them from changing things (through the FL by giving her information from the future).
One of the posters for the drama (the one with the windows) make it seem the father's power is/was super strength.…
If the father also have fathers, hmm⊠that means it can either be triggered, or he came from another line with powers.
Maybe, the FL indeed have powers of her own, something like sending good vibes and restoring people. Or, if she was the girl with the dog named âHappyâ, ML's constant traveling to that point somehow transferred or triggered something in her.
SoYi's hairstyle is so different, it's so hard to see her usual image. Her role is also too gloomy, very different from her usual âbrightâ characters.
Good for her that she's trying different roles. She will be able to choose early what kind of roles she wants to play in the future, if she ever decides to make acting her career.
1. The FL probably was the little girl with a dog named âHappyâ. 2. The FL's scammer family is not her biological family. She was probably adopted by them. If her story while drunk is to be believed. 3. Because of the ML's desire to save the FL's dog, and his repeated travel to that point in time, somehow a connection was established between them.
This led to him being able to held her hands during that mall fire alarm incident. When she needs help, he can now touch her. Whatever connection they created from the past has now grown and firmly established itself in her, that gives him the ability to touch her.
The ML cannot change the past directly, but through the FL, he can now pass information to someone in the past, and the FL will handle changing the events.
4. According to comics, if there are people with superpowers, there are also people who can suck them dry. Hero vs Villain. In this case, it is their issues in life that sucks their powers dry.
So, instead of a villain, they need a saviour, and that saviour is the FL. Think of âguardianâ. Noticed how they emphasised the scene about the ML signing Ina's school letters? They even focused on the signatory part, âguardianâ.
The FL is the âguardianâ of the family. The one who makes sure the family granted with superpowers stays on their course, and restore them to the right path if needed. You'll see this trope in comics a lot.
The FL's role is that of a guardian, but she has no idea because she's an ordinary mortal. Which is the exact point, the opposite of people with superpowers are regular power. It creates a balance. Not because one has superpowers does it mean they no longer need anyone, much less from regular people. But they do, and the FL is the representation of a regular person.
* Grandma can only see the future if she sleeps soundly. She's a dreamer. But all the stress prevents her from getting a good sleep, so no dreams.
* Father. No idea. They haven't revealed his superpowers.
* Big sis can no longer fly because, well, she's now obese because of her uncontrolled eating. She even have a mukbang channel. It can also be because of stress and depression, as was shown in some scenes, she resorts to eating.
* Little bro can travel to happy memories. Sadly, he can no longer do it because of the tragedy where his wife died. His depression is preventing him from producing the good hormones, thus he sees everything negatively. -- Until the FL arrived, and the rules started to change.
* Little bro's daughter. Her ability is yet to manifest. Since the other members of their family have powers that are blocked by a total opposite issue, and based on the clues dropped, Ina's ability is probably speed or invisibility.
Ina's clues: 1. First rubber shoes. = speed 2. The misunderstanding about a stalker. = speed and hiding (invisibility) 3. School = she's âinvisibleâ.
Wealthy family with superpowers can no longer use their powers because their issues contradict their abilities. It appears to be a direct opposite.
Meanwhile, the FL's family are not well-off, their best way to stay afloat is to scam people.
The FL, for reasons still unexplained, have some effect on the wealthy family, things started to change. Even the rules about their powers started to change.
1. No MULTIPLE backup of the video. SERIOUSLY?! 2. They both left his auntie alone. DUH. 3. And both just stood watching instead of returning to auntie. /facepalm
It's not that Satan and his right-hand man, I mean, K, are always a few steps ahead or âbigger evilâ, they are not, it's because the team fighting the duo are not learning anything.
They already know what K will do, they should've done the ff: * Always make multiple backups. * Store those backups everywhere. * Always have multiple backup plans.
They already know they're being tracked, then they should've done the ff: * Don't just turn-off the devices, uninstall the app. * Don't just uninstall and turn-off the devices, you check each yourself. * Don't just check it yourself. Take it from them and give them a burner phone. * Then move those phones in the opposite direction.
Conclusion: K and his little minion are not untouchable. The reason he is winning is because his enemies are always tapping themselves on the back.
You know what they say, âit takes a thief to catch a thiefâ. It means, you need to think like your enemy.
Another good proverb is, âIt's better to overestimate your enemy than to underestimate themâ.
Them not preparing for the worse case scenario, and only thinking as it comes to them, is them underestimating K. They are applying the wrong proverb, âWe'll cross the bridge when we get there.â What they should apply is, âPrevention is better than cureâ.
I mean, if they haven't experienced dealing with K, it is understandable. Most regular people lack a sense of security and proper planning because that's how society wants everyone to be. But, they've been dealing with K for more than 7 years already. They should better than to still think like the sheep. They need to become a lion to kill the wolf in sheep's clothing!

Yeah that. That was very rude of him.

Some men and their foolish insecurities and trust issues.
This 1-episode delay messed up the entire flow of the series.
There's a theme every 5 episodes.
E26 to E30 is SooJi's downfall.
E31 to E35 is SooJi fighting back⊠and potentially discovering her mother is still alive.
1. Useless English title.
2. Wrong marketing message.

Such a waste.
This was very fun, and educational, too.
I hope to see the other members if ever they'll make S02.
