Maybe you'd like Whirlwind, his character was so gray in that (more calculative and less psychopathic but still kinda crazy, lol). Also if I'm not mistaken, that was his first drama ever after a long time playing in films.

Haha yeah Behind Your Touch was literally so absurd that I have no choice but to laugh by its absurdities 😂 Even the thriller & mystery aspects weren't that thrilling because the comedy was way more dominant.

If you prefer this drama, maybe you'd like The Light in Your Eyes (a.k.a Dazzling) by the same director & writers if you haven't watched it. The storytelling is more structured, as tragic as this one (I wanna say TLIYE is more tragic but I'm not really sure since this drama haven't ended), also Kim Hyeja won Daesang at Baeksang Awards because of that drama (which is rare for an actor/actress to win Daesang).

When it was airing, there were many theories (as it happens again for this drama) because we didn't know where it was going, lol. It was fun. One of my all-time favorite dramas.

I think the director & writers' approach for this drama is similar to The Light in Your Eyes (their previous work);

1. How it starts with something nonsense (time travel for TLIYE and the afterlife stuff for this drama), once we (and the main characters) start enjoying the concept, then in the final episodes twists appear that make the mood of the story change 180°;

2. The writers wrote a common thread by bringing heavy topics such as past trauma (silencing and torture of journalists for TLIYE and illegal child trafficking for this drama) that can unbearably make one's memory distorted after many years (alzheimer's for TLIYE and selective dementia for this drama I guess?);

3. And all those heavy topics that are hidden in a fun and comedic fantasy way in the first 10 episodes then revealed in the last 2 episodes make the audience feel cheated by the synopsis;

4. Not to mention both family members of Kim Hyeja's characters (the son for TLIYE and the husband for this drama) are disabled by accident, worsening the traumatic event.

Good job I guess? But as someone who watched their previous work (TLIYE) and loved it so much, this formula is not that surprising. And unfortunately, the ratings and euphoria were not as big as the previous work.

(And, yes, I still cried after that twist)

Let me unpack my thoughts abt this drama:

Sul Kyung-gu always picks great projects—his choices show why he's a top actor.

I’d love to see more backstory about the two main characters. It’s rare to find a story about a student-teacher relationship—especially one with mentorship, medical themes, and a vigilante twist.

I enjoy stories where I can’t predict the ending. I just hope they don’t end up destroying each other but instead find closure and understanding.

In the end, this is just fiction. It’s important to separate it from real life—enjoying a story doesn’t mean agreeing with everything in it.

But that may happen though, since Agent An helped the Chairwoman looking for the gold she has been looking for all her life. At least, she can do that much. About how she looked pissed, Idk, she is good at acting, especially in front of her daughter.

Or, maybe, the school only fabricated the VIP students' math score through Lee Junho, but since Yujeong is way too smart, even fabricating the math score wasn't enough to put Yena as the first place.

It's Lee Junho, the male teacher that always sit behind Sua.

Go for it! 😉

Try one of these:
1. Connection
2. Blood Free
3. A Shop for Killers
4. Little Women
5. Black Out
6. Doubt

(Not all of them have romance tho, but I think they're quite proper if you want to watch thrillers.)

I guess they talked about episode 9 since it's the latest ep that aired in Japan.

Whoa, Kim Hyeja, Han Jimin, and Lee Jungeun reuniting after "The Light in Your Eyes" and "Our Blues", two of my most favorite dramas! Also, Son Sukku is in it too. This will surely be a masterpiece of 2025. Can't wait!

I watched it too! Rebooting definitely is one of my most favorite dramas. 🥰

Didn't expect to binged-watching this and love it so much! The mixed-genres actually make me want to looking forward to it. It's a balance of romance, comedy, mystery, thriller, and even horror, lol. I don't understand why people think FL is annoying, for me I find her sweet and cute, and not to mention, she has chemistry with ML (which is very important). 6 episodes more to go, I hope the ending doesn't disappoint.

They are from the same writer! Bakarhythm! His narrative is very unique. 😆

Tell me you're ignorant without telling me you're ignorant. Living in Japan and having japanese husband doesn't mean you know 'everything' about this topic. Just call yourself lucky to never experienced mental health issues. Better be compassionate next time and be less judgmental. Or else, just stfu.

Also, being empathetic to others doesn't mean you have to experienced it yourself, no?
