Great movie. But the ending is unfortunately too good to believe. Them being together is nice, with a dose of optimism I see that happening, but her being a teacher is just unbelievable... especially in China. I'd prefer to see them leave the city, change their names and become farmers, writers, or whatever job that would not require a clean criminal record and give them privacy.
Gyeongseong Creature still wasn't a romance drama, though? Not sure what's confusing. Most dramas with ML/FL have…
Wow, they provided a really nice and lengthy explanation of what they mean, which is by all means pretty reasonable (just to give you an example - Flower of Evil is in fact a romance too). But you just have to snarkily comment every opinion in this comment section which does not praise the actor to high heavens.
As for the ending theories - after spending 2 hours of my vacation on reading entire reddit thread on it, I'm more confused then I was when I started lol. There just isn't one right answer imo
The spin-off exists in the universe of the original as a novel. TBMT is a story within a story (NLIL). The characters…
Damn, I missed this paragraph somehow, thanks for the info. I wonder if there will be a romance between them in the first series, and then again in the spinoff (as new characters)? I can feel that it could really tire the audience out unless the chemistry is incredible. I mean, we don't really get a lot of repeated pairings in the kdramaworld, even years apart and playing different characters. But maybe it will be just a 2-4 eps special, I see how it could work that way if the original is a huge success.
I'm confused. The first one hasn't been released yet and we already know that the side couple will have a spin-off?
Also, the first one has 12 eps - seems enough time to give enough time for both couples. Maybe something happened during production, that their time in the first series was cut? Or they didn't plan the 2nd couple but they had so much chemistry that they decided for the spin-off? Maybe the spin-off will have less episodes. It's pretty weird nonetheless.
In every time 'travel' movie there will be a certain degree of plotholes. But the ending here is crucial. I feel…
Solid movie overall, enjoyed it! But don't try to overanalyze every little thing, there will be many plotholes. And the protagonist acts stupid many times. But if she didn't there wouldn't be a movie, so I'm not mad. Also, I'm not expecting every protagonist to be genius, so her stupid decisions were fine to me
I totally get your point! This is my exact problem with most theories, the fact that a "temporary" future had to be shown, based on their assumptions. I know that it's been some time since your review, so you probably don't care, but for the sake of future readers I'll present my theory below:
Lets assume that the mother survived, saved SY and stormed out of the house. YS was unconscious. When she woke up, before police, she escaped the house, but kept the phone. The reality 'calculated' itself based on that, and this resulted in SY and her mother meeting at the cemetary. Let's assume that YS is in hiding, as everyone would be looking for her.
Meanwhile in the past, after a few hours, YS wakes up - after SY and her mother already met in the present. Past YS calls the phone and the future her tells her what to do to catch SY. So that changed the timeline where she hides, to a timeline where she somehow car hes SY again, and that's why SY ends up in the basement.
It's hella confusing tho, if you find holes in my theory I wouldn't be surprised ><

The only theory that doesn't confuse me to my wit's end is this:

The reality 'calculated' itself based on that, and this resulted in SY and her mother meeting at the cemetary. Let's assume that YS is in hiding, as everyone would be looking for her.
Meanwhile in the past, YS wakes up a few hours later. Calls the phone and the future her tells her what to do to catch SY. That's why SY ends up in the basement.
Just to be clear, this is really hard to grasp for me 😅 this is just the theory that's the least confusing to me. But I personally think that the ending was great! I was really surprised. Just confusing af
In every time 'travel' movie there will be a certain degree of plotholes. But the ending here is crucial. I feel that a lot of theories aren't 100% perfect. So let me give my two cents on the ending below
Tbh, I came here just after watching cdrama "The Hope", which is about teachers trying to get neglected students to enter top universities in a year. It was 30 (!) eps long, but I never got bored even for a moment! Even though the cast was pretty large, they made the watchers care about everybody. It was easy to understand for the most part, even for non-Asians, and tho the romance was not the main focus, the chemistry between the characters was sizzling. So believe me, making an interesting drama about teaching can be done! But here, in ep 7, we still weren't really introduced fully to any student. We barely even saw our teachers in the classroom... I get that the dramas are not comparable, but the conflicts here are just meh... And the romantic buildup leaves a lot to be desired.
One Spring Night is one of my fave as well, is this similar?
OSN has a fantastic, dunno how to call it, but let's say atmosphere. The shots were beautiful, music was fantastic, and I could really feel the struggles and love growing between the main characters. Here we don't really get any of that. It's more politics tbh, but in a hagwon
