Does it means those characters from the previous seasons (like niragi, chishiya...etc) don't remember arisu and…
Yes- they might feel some kind of deja vu but unless they dig deeper into their thoughts (like Usagi and Arisu), they will most likely not remember Arisu and Borderland.
Specially with Niragi- I highly doubt 5 years would have been enough for him to recover if he remembered how he behaved in Borderlandš«
As for Ann- somebody mentioned that Ann never actually vocally agreed to go back so she most likely had more vivid flashbacks than what Usagi recalled. That's probably why she's staying at a sanitorium too.š
Fiance isn't that bad. He actually helped them and dad looks like he's getting a redemption arc.
š¤ ikr?!
He's in Anpan too. He was introduced as a proposed suiter for the FL- it felt so strange since the minute you meet him in Anpan, you know that he's a certified green flag despite the fact that even in it he considers marriage only because his mother keeps nagging him to marry.
It's funny how 2 characters can have the same storyline but completely different personalitiesš
I have a question heredo the injuries they got in Borderland affect them in real life or it's the opposite I mean…
Itās a combination. The events in borderland do not actually happen but it is a manifestation of your subconscience to help deal with reality.
For instance, with Niragi, itās likely he burnt his face during the meteorite explosion, but his mind translated it to him burning alive during the games.
Subber is on vacation based on their website. Can't wait till Makoto finds out about him š
Heyyyy - sorry! Missed the notificationš
TPOB definitely has the best āenemies to loversā meets ācontract marriageā thrope from the dramas Iāve seen so far. I tried to read the web novel but had to drop it since the story was different and I just couldnāt relate to the MC at all. The screenwriter certainly did a great job.ā¤ļø
Haha didnāt expect to read such a positive review on āShadow Loveā from you - now I can look forward to it! I just finished Mobius over the weekend so ready for a new C-drama to obsess over š¤
Speaking of Mobius - if you are into time loop dramas, totally recommend this. itās like Reset 2.0 (and the ML is the same-BJT-so thatās a bonus). If you are not into time loop dramas though I wonāt recommend it since each event has 5 chances, some of the scenes can be abit repetitive.
The Wanted Detective - itās hard to rate it because it depends on why you want to watch it? If itās primarily for romance - then it would be a 7. Iād say this drama is a lot like majority of the non-romance āwhodunit?ā Jdramas available. The story alone is quite interesting if you are into mysteries with a lot of twists (but make sure not to spoil the end or else the whole point of the drama will be gone).
Did you get a chance to watch āTwelve Lettersā? Dare I ask how it left you feeling? You can watch āthe Lake Houseā on DailyM or YT. If you are a fan of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullok, you should totally watch āSpeedā as well - it was awesome (kind of like Reset without the time loop)āŗļø
You are watching Khemjira too!? We really do share the same watch list š I need to complete ep 8 - didnāt realize it was 2 hrs long! I love the cultural references. I usually find Thai dramas more culturally relatable so learning their own folklore is rather enlightening. So far the drama has been respectful to the story (no comment on the hilarious product placements!). Are you up-to-date with the episodes? I donāt think I have watched āI will knock youā. Are you still enjoying it?
I feel you linger in the air - you werenāt wrong to put it on hold while it was airing. I was so obsessed with it, that the weekly wait was annoying (really special case for me considering how Time Travel was an epidemic at the time with C/J/K/Thai/ Taiwanese dramas covering the same topic at the same time).š
Keita Hatsukoi - damn! you are a true fan! I love webtoons but mangas are a bit difficult since they tend to cram a lot of text within tiny speech bubbles š Glad to hear that they have a promising future together! āSilentā was amazing! I was actually surprised to find out recently that the ML from āUsotoki Rhetoricā is the SML from Silent. I didnāt mind the FL for the most part but there was scope for character development.
Monster is interesting but the story can be quite heavy since the main cast is really young and the things they go through can be quite emotional at times.
Enid Blyton - gosh she was practically my childhood! I guess Iāve learned to separate the author from their work. Itās rather disheartening to find out majority of the authors you love have skeletons in their closets. Are there any even left? š«¤
I watched āWarm on a Cold Nightā - thanks for the recommendation! Itās so unserious but fun at the same time.
Do you have any other recommendations? Btw if you are into survival/ dystopian fantasy dramas, you should totally watch āAlice in Borderlandā - they wrapped up the series last week (3 seasons). Iām usually not a fan of this genre but AIB is the exception. They did an amazing job. Itās Kento and Tao afterall so no surprises there.
I am also currently watching āAnpanā - itās inspired by the life of the creator of āAnpanmanā. The only thing is it has 130 mini episodes since itās an Asadora.
ktraumas would always find a way to come to us. no exceptions either
I did love how she acknowledged this side of her. The way CSY said at the end that sheāll be a better friend next time? šš„² As someone who has a tendency to self sabotage out of procrastination, I can relate to her insecurities to a certain extent but at the same time cannot fathom at all just how suffocating things must have been to push her to go that far.š«
I completed the drama finally. The last episode was truly a journey! CSY is her usual bitchy self - unapologetically blunt till the end. Their last night together was executed so well, honestly I almost felt suffocated.š„²
Thanks for listening (or rather reading!) my rambling - it was fun āŗļø
I'm coming back here two weeks after the drama ended to say that I loved this K-drama. Park Ji Hyun outshone Kim…
TMAI! As the episodes continue, Iāve grown to dislike her character more (she may have had a terrible life but itās not REJās fault) but at the same time the way she portrays her character is so mesmerizing - like a wicked fairy godmother š
ktraumas would always find a way to come to us. no exceptions either
It truly is sad. I'm in ep 13 now and the way she clings on to Sanghak despite all the clear boundaries is just so pathetic š„²
You want to feel sorry for her because you know that she's had a hard life but it's hard to sympathize with her since it's unfair for her to expect the others to submit to her....to the point of gaslighting them. Specially with REJ who has already lost so much š«
They planned three seasons from the very beginning. The second season doesn't really finish the story, but the…
I just love how they wrapped season 3
If you really think about it, it makes sense why only Ann and Usagi were still tempted to go back to the borderland even after 5 years once you listen to the others' stories.
Even in the previous games in S2 and S1, Arisu and Usagi were able to defeat the "final boss" as a team right (I can't remember now)? Guess Arisu represented all of the remaining team players?
Since everybody else by default stayed on the edge instead of getting washed away, they too were considered as winners?š
They might have an American spinoff but I'm not sure. The easteregg at the end might have been just their way of saying that borderland is available everywhere in the worldš

So cringe how they added the unborn child as a character. LolToo much drama brought on towards the ending. Makes…
The unborn baby's position here is a manifestation of their subconscience. That's why the baby wasn't counted in any of the other games since Usagi wasn't aware. It was only after Arisu and Usagi were together, it got counted (since Arisu would be aware of his unborn child).
What I'm really annoyed is how they ruined FL's character in this season. Usagi is one of my favourite FL characters…
To be fair, throughout S1 and S2, Usagi was having a hard time dealing with her dad's death. Considering she lost all her memories from the borderline and is still harrased by the public, it's not a surprise that she is still depressed about it.
What's great about Usagi is despite her struggles she still is true to herself and fights for wverybody- not just for herself.
(Leaving Arisu for the games was her way of trying to save their relationship in the longrun before her depression began to takeover her entire life)
IAM sorry for spamming but he literally had his Joseon accent in the future....we need a spin off because how…
I love the fine details - his accent and her sword scar. š
The way they showed Yeong waking up almost looked like her soul went back to herā¦.sooooo what if the King essentially took over his present day doppelgƤngerās body? Imagine the chaos!š¤
This was such a good watch. But I cannot get over J-C-K-dramas almost always making a way out for truly despicable…
The father really is a piece of work but I guess at least they kept him true to his character (at least as of ep 10).
Students - Guess thatās the perk of having rich parents who can control the school board. Rather hypocritical of the Vice principal honestly considering how she constantly claims that she wants to nurture ideal students when she has made the school environment one rife with bullying and privilege mentality.
Specially with Niragi- I highly doubt 5 years would have been enough for him to recover if he remembered how he behaved in Borderlandš«
