She was probably on birth control pills for a long time and one of the side effects is delayed pregnancy. I was sad to see her faking a smile every time Joo Won left for work. She should have just told him about wanting a baby. We saw how he cried after hearing that. He was sad to her suffer alone. In next scene BAAAAM!!! a baby. How it happened: BY TALKING TO YOUR PARTNER. That's the key. Any couple can go through hard times when they are together not but when they are alone.

Honestly the scene made me sad. I did not take it like a message to shame women who resorted to prostitution. It made me sad because I had the feeling, she thought she was doomed because she once was a "sinner". It is a wrong thinking she had.

Or maybe it was worse... her life as a woman providing special services to men led her to abortion because she became pregnant from clients who coerced or forced her to do it without condom. And it damaged her body. That still happens in 2023.

This scene underlined sad situations the women who resort to prostitution sometimes meet. It did not make me judge her as guilty of anything. I just felt her distress.

As for the man, he is supposed to be a super strong man with super strong spermatozoids.

No it's just the classic "new popular show therefore it's the best show ever" mindset

Bong Seok was practically dropped from the sky.

I feel like I am the sole person in world who actually really enjoyed this.

This drama also does such a good job at hiding symbolism, I just noticed how the people who stayed behind in borderland where people who aimed for control and domination meanwhile the ones that went back were willing to face the uncertainty of their life. So no matter how many times some characters where deathly injured they still wouldn’t die, because their will to live was too strong. And when the face cards leaders died they all said that they were glad to be finally free. I believe that when they accepted their citizenship to borderland they all had plans of grandeur and domination but deep down after a while they realized they weren’t as free as they thought.

There was no badly written character because every character embodied a thought provoking existential question. This is really about letting go of control and fear to face the hardest game of all, that is life.

This season is so much deeper than the last. The plot is just a decoy; behind it is a deep reflection on life, strength, perseverance, our existence and free will. I had to stop a few times to reflect on life and my existence as a player. I feel so bad for anti intellectual surface level watchers who can't see past the story and dialogues. Some will even say the dialogues are superficial, but I think they're only superficial if you want them to be. This is the kind of drama that I would encourage watchers to consume with introspection.

Why are you here? What is real? What keeps you alive? curiosity? spite? hope? do you even neec a reason? Why are you still playing? Where do you get your strength? What does it mean to be real, to be a human? is your existence fair? Why do you hate life/yourself? What's the value of a life? How valuable is yours?

This dramas raises alot of questions that will never get old, and for once instead of making you depressed afterwards it revives your will to exist, to fight and persevere.

I personally think they were still alive after getting injured so badly is because their will to live was the strongest. Even though Aguni wanted to commit suicide, he couldn't do it because at the end of the day he wanted to live. And we all saw Akane had the most difficult first game and still survived. I think she actually had the strongest will to live. Like she said she wanted to survive no matter what happens.

It might also have to do with the fact that all the people that got to live in real life even after almost dying or had died were people that had very strong minds and they wanted to return back to the real world. We don't know if Ann was actually dead at the end in borderland. She could have heard the voice inside her mind and gave the answer, and she must be very close to dying or giving up that's why she was in the worst state in the real world.

He was attacked and was even stabbed when he was a murder suspect. So he became traumatized. Hence the face mask, he is not narcissist. He is humble and sensitive. He feels guilty about the incident since he does not remember much from that night. He also carries a heavy burden of guilt since no one believed him although he was a happy and innocent soul back then

That scene infront of the laundromat was so cute!!!!!

Kang Min, as much as how kind you may seem, I'd still choose Do Ha over you.
I'd rather have someone who wouldn't hide me from the truth, no matter how painful it may be, than to have someone who lies about being okay just to make me feel good.

I'd rather have someone who spends his time discussing about trivial things of day to day with me, than have someone who speaks about building a future together but couldn't even share his challenges with me.

Your poor communication skills and mistrust on Solhee's capability to withstand trials with you makes you a walking red flag, Kang Min-ah.

Idk it's not doing it for me, it's very unfocused. The premise is very compelling but the narrative not so much. It's definitely not bad, just missing something. I hope it kicks up in future episodes.

For anyone interested in watching my reaction to episode 1, you can now watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUoQzWgReZo

As much as I like this drama I'm not particularity fond of backstories. I feel like episodes 8 and 9 could have been 1 episode if they didn't stretch out some situations and scenes so much.

So far they're still minimal but idk in the future, the SML might get tangled not only in the romance dept but also in the crime case, I really hope it won't get too annoying. Coz idk, unpopular opinion but I don't get the charm of the SML & I don't like love triangle in a drama either.

However w/ that being said, I find this drama is good so far, the main leads interaction, how their relationship evolved is quite refreshing to see & the kind that makes your heart flutter, one of the best romcom I've seen on 2023 after a long drought of good romcom, so it's worth to try.
