There's one thing I don't get. If she's destined to be with the police officer, why doesn't she have a red thread…
According to the mysterious "god", it is because the 1FL and 2ML is still in their early stages. Those with red strings are already nearing their final stage of reincarnations. But those without are still being "worked on" by "god".
However, I'm suspecting he is hiding the truth from cupid. I think the real reason is, those with a red string means they're up for grabs. There's a common trope in Korean myth that some people are special, either because heaven "touched" them or because they're some sort of an anomaly or exception to the rule.
The 1FL in this case is like that. She's an exception to the rule thus "god" is taking special care with her because she can end up with anyone. If she ends up with anyone she wants, she will disturb the order and balance because that guy, more likely than not, already have a red string.
To ensure the no existing pairings are disturbed, "god" personally took care of her and found her a man without a red string as well, she 2ML.
Unfortunately, a fairy was beholden of her beauty. Since she is without a red string, the fairy can take her for himself. But I think it is against the rules. Heavenly beings are not supposed to fall in love with mortals.
I think that is also the reason why "god" took special care of people without red strings, they are the ones who has the power to attract heavenly beings.
At least, those are she ones I came up with, based on what was revealed so far.
She didn't fall in love with cupid, the ML was invisible and his arrow did not his her, instead it backfired to cupid.
Her "sin", if anything, is being so adorable and lovable that she caused a fairy to fall in love with her. Which is a common trope in fables and fairy tales. The mortal is the one punished for capturing the heart of an otherworldly being even though they haven't seen that otherworldly being at all. In European mythology, humans were punished by a goddess for being beautiful and lovable because their god-husband falls in love with them.
It was like the ML is being teased to interfere with "god"'s plan to bring the king and the FL together.
LOL. Maybe "god" is actually testing him and just acting like he's against their paring. He's probably hiding the real truth that people without a red string means anyone can take that person.
It's like an anomaly, or they're special. The problem is, the ML is a fairy and are not supposed to mingle with mortals.
So "god" hid the truth from him to discourage him. But the fact that he is not actively stopping him, when he can anyway, meant that he would allow it under certain circumstances.
The FL and the ML probably met multiple times before and they just didn't recognise each other well. Not until polkadot girl, they started to recognise each other. Then the 2023 reincarnation, they're in "full bloom".
The simple solution is to just make one page for every season. I understand the urge to split it into 2 pages…
I agree. However, the production company's counting should be followed.
So, if the production company decided to reset the episode count back to e01 even though it is the same Season, it should be followed in a database listing. Otherwise, people searching for it will be confused.
The problem with MDL is they do things without studying it properly.
For example, they used to count “Episode 01 Part 1” and “Episode 01 Part 2” as “Episode 1” and “Episode 2”. I had to argue with them and collect proof that they got it all wrong just to stop them from doing it.
They gave me the reasoning that “Episode 1” and “Episode 2” are what were listed on the official production company's website. When they showed me the episode listing, I showed them proof right from the website that they got it all wrong.
In the case of “Part X” this and “Part X” that, if the production company reset the episode count to e01, then it should be followed. However, if the production company did NOT reset the episode count for “Part 2”, “Part 3”, and so on, then MDL should never do it either; otherwise it will be total chaos.
The safest way is to follow how the production company's counting of the episodes.
For example, there were Netflix shows which had this format (not exact, but you get the idea): * Season 4 episodes 1 to 14 (with a mid-season break after e07) * Season 5 Part 1 episodes 1 to 10 * Season 5 Part 2 episodes 11 to 15 (with a Winter break after e12) * Season 5 Part 3 episodes 16 to 20 * Season 6 episodes 1 to 12
The problem with MDL, the above example would end up this way: * MDL: TITLE 4 Part 1 and Part 2 = Season 4 episodes 1 to 14 (with a mid-season break after e07) * MDL: TITLE 5 Part 1 = Season 5 Part 1 episodes 1 to 10 * MDL: TITLE 5 Part 2 and Part 3 = Season 5 Part 2 episodes 11 to 15 (with a Winter break after e12) * MDL: TITLE 5 Part 4 = Season 5 Part 3 episodes 16 to 20 * MDL: TITLE 6 = Season 6 episodes 1 to 12
Scenario #1: * TITLE episodes 1 to 10 * TITLE Part 2 episodes 11 to 20
MDL should NEVER split it.
Scenario #2: * TITLE episodes 1 to 10 * TITLE Part 2 episodes 1 to 10
MDL CAN split it.
Scenario #3: * Episode 1 Part 1 / Episode 1.1 * Episode 1 Part 2 / Episode 1.2 * Episode 2 Part 1 / Episode 2.1 * Episode 2 Part 2 / Episode 2.2 * Episode 3 Part 1 / Episode 3.1 * Episode 3 Part 2 / Episode 3.2
MDL should count it as a SINGLE episode.
Always remember, a new episode almost always begin with a recap, or showing similar scenes from the previous episode before starting the story of the new episode. And in K-drama, an episode usually ends with a teaser of the next episode.
However, in an episode that was split into Parts 1 and 2, there is no previous at the end of Part 1; and there is no recap at the beginning of Part 2. If that is not enough, the episodes often have an episode number (near the beginning, typically).
Conclusion: Only split if it is supported by the official release, otherwise, do not do anything; worst, splitting it ahead even though we do not know yet if the OFFICIAL source will reset the episode count.
IF the episode count was reset for “Part X”, a proof (like how you ask for proof from us even though it's very obvious already) should be posted (like the gallery) of the show as reference. That's the only way to calm down an erupting volcano; and prevent volcanoes from erupting.
But if the episode count was NOT reset for “Part X”, and you split it, well, you should 2000% expect volcanoes to erupt.
PS Your “15-day gap” rule is very dangerous. More volcanoes will erupt. Have you forgotten that episode delays are a common whenever there are sports events? (Even in the West, it happens.) There are other reasons episodes can be delayed.
By your new rule, you are obligated to split a show into Part 2, Part 3, and so on, if the gap is 15 days or more. A series that gets delayed for 2 weeks is equal to 20 days gap from the last episode.
You just introduced more headaches instead of minimising it. The solution I presented above is far better than the “15-day gap” rule. ^_~

Okay, so it was indeed a game as suspected and it was Se Eun's parents who programmid it and the "AI" Jung Won…
Yep. The AI character was definitely reprogrammed; and the mother, while it's understandable, should indeed not put it on those kids, especially not on her daughter's only friend.
At least based on what she remembered, she had no idea what was going on that day which pushed her daughter to suicide. I give Yooe SEO the benefit of a doubt that she would've stopped Se Eun if she knew what's going on.
But in the end, she took responsibility and the mother took advantage of it and made her Sim life harder.
Even if the mother let the entire class go as a condition of her taking responsibility, at that point, at least the way I see it, it's no longer revenge and/or punishment. She's just trying to fuel her bitterness, finding a target. I seriously doubt her daughter will be happy with that.
Twisted mother. Understandable but it doesn't make her right.
And that tech is far too scary. In a way, they showed us a glimpse into the near future.

I wonder how he's going to get out of the situation. Hahaha. You don't bring a sniper gun out without a reason.
There are few authors who can kill a character, disappoint in relationships, and hurt feelings.
So, if the production company decided to reset the episode count back to e01 even though it is the same Season, it should be followed in a database listing. Otherwise, people searching for it will be confused.

* MDL: TITLE 5 Part 4 = Season 5 Part 3 episodes 16 to 20
* MDL: TITLE 6 = Season 6 episodes 1 to 12
Again, my solution stands:
* The ONLY time to split a show in a database listing is IF the episode count resets to ep01.
IF the production company resets the episode count to “Part 2 episode 01”, ONLY then should a show be split in a database listing.
Until we see that Part 2 will begin with episode 01, there is no basis to split a show.
PS, It's not actually “mine” per se. That has been the practice for decades, long before MDL existed. I didn't “invent” anything.
If so, then there is no reason to separate Part 1 and Part 2 into two listings.
The only time it should be separated is if the episode count was reset to e01 by the production company (tving in this case).
"Part 1" and "Part 2" should ONLY be listed separately IF and ONLY IF the episode count was reset back to 1.
Scenario A:
* TITLE episode 1, episode 2, episode 3.
* TITLE Part 2 episode 4, episode 5, episode 6.
Should never be split in a database.
Scenario B:
* TITLE episode 1, episode 2, episode 3.
* TITLE Part 2 episode 1, episode 2, episode 3.
That is the ONLY time the show can be split in a database.
Should be split into Part 2 since the last 2 episodes will be released in 2024.
LMAO.
There is a 20-day gap from the last episode if there's a 2 weeks delay.
That not-really-new rule is a recipe for more “volcanoes to erupt” and more headaches for them.
