So TRUE ! If every guy thinking the girl might be in love with him acted like that, it would be frightening ! (Rapes at every corner for sure...) I've been refraining from watching european/american TV series lately because there is usually a lot of useless violence and vulgarity in it. Blood, sex and drugs seems to be the new magic formula this days... Actually, I think physical abuse is also getting quite common in those too.
But, to go back to the main topic, this kind of scenes in asian dramas really bother me. I remember watching Hana Yori Dango and HATING the main character for that, I just could get into it. Idem for verbal abuse in Itazura na Kiss.
In Myung Wol the Spy, this was also the one scene I really hated. If an actor ever did that in front of the press in real life, his career would be over for sure. Why make it seems as if it's fine ? Yeah, people around him were shocked but no one tried to stop him, help her or call the police...
As for the hand-grabbing, it also bothers me but that depends on the circumstances. If done nicely, it can be seen as romantic but as soon as the hand-grabbing becomes a hand-dragging, it's disturbing. Seing that in real life, I would think the guy will have a tendency to hit his wife later on, thinking he owns her or something.
Personnally, I understand it that way :
This time, instead of going to Himalya because of his brother's death, Park Sun Woo is going earlier because of Joo Min Young. So my guess is, while he was going on a "second" honeymoon, he knew his brother was around here and went looking for him. That's how he could save him in time and he didn't have to travel back in time to save him. And so, he doesn't die in the past. Happy ending.
The images of the shadow above Park Jeong Woo's head in the first episode was just the ending of the drama. If not, it would mean Park Sun Woo watched his brother die. That wouldn't make any sense to me.
Second possibility is his brother died again so he went to look for the incense. But this doesn't fit in more than one way. I mean, he would still be stuck in 1993. Plus, he still remembers meeting himself when he was young so if he goes back in time, he has to do/tell the exact same things but he can't for he has no memory of what happened between him and Choi Jin Cheol in the alternate reality.
EDIT : Third theory I saw on comment bellow from @displacedmoon : "Sun Woo decides to "keep it simple" (this is from his commentary to himself on the plane in the last episode) by using the incense sticks once, in 2032, to save his brother. We see their mountaintop reunion in the last scene, when an older Sun Woo greets his brother with, "It's been a long time.""
Hmm... Can you please tell me after which episode it got interesting for you ? I watched the first two but I'm…
Thanks, I kept watching while fastforwarding some scenes when I got a little bored and it did get interesting. I'm currently watching episode 11 and now, I finally get what my problem is. For the very first time in more than 200 dramas, I'm having a second lead syndrome, rooting for the ghost girl... Well, I'll still watch the rest for the side story about her death, hoping I'll change my mind about the romance part T-T
Hmm... Can you please tell me after which episode it got interesting for you ? I watched the first two but I'm still not getting into it. I feel like nothing much happened yet. I'm reluctant to drop it because of all the good comments but if it's just a matter of different tastes, then I guess it would be better to drop it now.
I love it, but this is the first time I'm not expecting kissing scenes between main actors. . . Their relationship…
You know, there are plenty of viruses transmissible through blood AND saliva... One very famous lately is HPV. Each virus has its own way of infecting people, and we don't know yet the various ways of this one, apart from direct injection and from mother to son.

Sure but... If they kiss, wouldn't she get contaminated ? It's going to take a while before it happens. We probably have to wait until either she becomes a vampire or he becomes a full human.
Watched the first episode and I am not sure I should continue.
Then continue. A lot of people changed their minds after a few episodes. I’d say you should watch at least 3-4 episodes before making a definite choice for this drama.
I have a question to ask... Why is Se Gi only one who has that kind of red tattoo on his back but other personas…
Actually, I think it has nothing to do with real body or not. I think it's a psychological effect of other personalities forgetting ever doing this tatoo.
not sure if i missed this, but you know how they mentioned one of his personalities is 'Nana'? and we got to know…
Yes, we understood it was ORJ because we saw a photo of ORJ young. At the end of episode 16, CDH expect the little girl to answer that as well but THEN she told him her real name is CDH ! Also, technically, that personality did appear since "she" moved the bear into the room and wrote "I am NANA" onto the floor. It's just that we didn't see Ji Sung portraying it yet.
