i just came to comment this lmao

it's a really good watch, but more predictable if you've watched a lot of mystery movies/dramas already. i still recommend watching for the ending and the acting :D

i didn't think much of dayeon before, but after ice cream and rewatching pop/stars and hylt, i really want her to debut!!! she's so talented and supportive. i could def picture her as a lead dancer and lead rapper, or possibly even leader (depending on which other girls make the final). she has my vote now ♡

oh how i wish this were a series or at least a full movie T^T

i do think they complement each other very well, but idk if this is ANYTHING near long-lasting. i already found myself frustrated just watching, but i guess riichi may be looking for something different than i am ://

i just finished the series rn and i'm laughing so hard from your review

i would absolutely love more jsports dramas. there's a lot of sports anime so i always wondered why there weren't more jsports dramas? i guess because sports is a little more difficult to capture and it can be hard to make exciting? but there have definitely been a lot of unexciting plot ideas that have made great dramas so i really don't know why

i would really love to see more sports dramas focused on the team aspect as well. obviously there are many sports team stories out there already, but i rarely ever see it in the realm of dramas which is surprising because i feel like it would be the perfect medium for it. the slice of life, friendship, family, competition, and lifelong bonds. i can already imagine how emotional dramas could make it. something like the reply series but with sports (no romance) would sound so perfect to me. racket boys was a really nice step.

oh yeah, i think my comment was for the op who said jdramas have a "low fanbase" on mdl lol

i believe majority of the jdramas with less than 1000 viewers on mdl are mainly due to a lack of subs, not necessarily popularity (ofc that's also a factor)

i'm glad you enjoyed it lol.

no, it wasn't that they slept together. it was more of how they like fell in love out of the blue? i don't mind romance being unrealistic, i just like a basis of why someone falls in love with someone else in the first place. tbh i think i would've preferred there being no romance at all because the plot is already so intriguing itself. the romance kind of felt unnecessary to me which is also probably why i felt it was forced.

is this going to be airing or will it be released all at once?

can someone please respond to me when there are full subs of this? i REALLY want to watch it, but all the youtube videos were just privated/taken down :((

honestly, i loved the story and its many twists and turns, but i hated the romance. all of it felt SO forced and rushed to me and i never see anyone mention it. i love both lead actors and i'm sure they'd have great chemistry had they been given a better romantic script, this just wasn't it imo.

nope, virtually none

i wonder why they decided to make this a "special episode" instead of a movie?
it's basically a movie itself

okay bear with me, time travel is confusing T^T

so the main timeline is LZW getting into a car crash and waking up inside of WQS to which he goes to find HYX in college (and tries to woo her over). this HYX hasn't been to the past yet so she doesn't know LZW exists. eventually, after WQS and HYX get together and almost marry, the plane thing happens and WQS "dies". if i'm correct (sorry it's been a while since i watched), WQS survives the plane crash and lives on to be LZW with glasses. he goes back to warn young WQS to not board the plane, but young WQS doesn't want to ruin the timeline otherwise HYX would never travel back in time and they'd never meet + might have severe consequences.

basically: the glasses LZW is the "old" WQS who goes to meet the younger WQS aka the LZW who went into the coma body and tries to woo HYX. i hope at least one line of this makes sense T^T

yes!!! i hope you have fun haha, the whole series is amazing. def worth your time esp if you love brutal horror, terrifying zombies, historical political warfare, and gore lol

it's basically both an origin story and a set up for the probable third season. there's a character that shows up at the end of s2 and this is her backstory. so yes, i would watch both seasons first to understand what the origin leads to + be more familiar with the world and atmosphere.

however, if you watch it without watching the first two seasons, it won't spoil anything from the drama because they're completely separate stories. the series focuses on prince lee chang and his journey with the outbreak, while this "episode" focuses on ashin and the origin of the outbreak. though, i think if you watched this "episode" and then the two seasons afterwards, it would still make sense

can you please spoiler tag this please?

so that scene was old LZW meeting younger LZW to warn him not to board the plane because that will be how he eventually dies and why the time cycle continues. however, young LZW goes on anyway because he doesn't want to alter the timeline too much or else there may be dire repercussions. yes, they're both technically LZW, just one is older (the one with the glasses) and is more aware of the timeline/what will happen than the other. i hope that makes a little more sense ?
