Scared to scroll bc spoilers so apologies if this has been discussed, but the scar on her leg is in a position where it should have been seen when she took that picture of her own legs, no? Above her right knee? GUess I'll have to go find it but I'm smelling an oversight. Lol.
Edit: okay nvm nvm she had knee high socks on, lol
So based on the flashbacks when they were young, ML. is not actually the real son???? right becoz the mother said…
He also says that thing after the dinner that his parents were willing to 'replace their children without a second thought' or something like that, so I 100% think he at least isn't their real son.
Only on ep 2 when the couple is still ostensibly just friends... who the HELL puts glow in the dark STAR STICKERS on the ceiling of the girl they're VERY GOOD FRIENDS with? That man is in love! Bro is in deep! He fell first!!! smh
I don't think the ending was warranted. Like, what emotion am I supposed to feel? There've been Korean romance movies with similar endings but they've actually hit and felt deserved. This one did not.
Only halfway through, this drama truly has everything. Family, romance, in-depth story, ties of friendship. It's almost wholesome, except for all the wanton violence. It's very good so far!
ALSO also, this drama deals with a lot of implications around fate and time- how inevitable are things, for instance.…
The school exploded, yes, but the area in the present was fine. I was referring to the present. He could have returned to the present and then gone somewhere else immediately.
I'm really bummed they couldn't give us a happy scene of them all eating dinner together or something. Or for…
ALSO also, this drama deals with a lot of implications around fate and time- how inevitable are things, for instance. In the narrative of this drama, it seems that things are pretty much set in stone when prophesied- nobody can change the past or future, as they're going to do what they're going to do 100%, and if they had been going to do something else, that's what would have been the prophesy instead. THAT BEING SAID. I think it's really interesting that Gwi-Ju went missing for five years solely and entirely because he had a son that could take things from different times. We get a lingering shot of where Gwi-Ju would have been crushed, and it's intact and no longer burning. We KNOW that time passes when he's in the past. SO. It seems likely to me that he would have survived upon his return from the past, to the present- his ability to go back to the past for seemingly however long he wants to would help him avoid the present until it was no longer dangerous.
Meaning... the only reason he was missing for those five years was because Da Hae told their kid to steal him from the past- which was always going to happen, but is still funny to think about. If the kid had had different powers, Gwi Joo would have been able to watch his second kid being born, and he wouldn't have been missing for five years.
I'm really bummed they couldn't give us a happy scene of them all eating dinner together or something. Or for him to say like "Honey, I'm home!", or have the appropriately bewildered reaction to time jumping five years and discovering he has a son. Sigh.
Like, what a day- you go to your daughter's dance performance, save your family from a burning building, go back to the past, save your future wife from ANOTHER, DIFFERENT burning building, and then before you can go back to the present, you open your eyes and are at home, in your room, holding the hand of a five year old kid you don't recognize. Five years have passed. That's your kid. Congratulations
That sinking feeling the MOMENT the world turned to colour. The entire time I was just like, well he can't die because he can't be affected by the world. And then the branch. SIGHHHHHHH
this is pure misery porn so far, and it's not fun.
Finished it. It was... fine? Like, if you've watched shows from this genre before, you won't be surprised. It's The Platform + Squid Game- just as hamfisted and a little less emotionally impactful.
