Maybe my standards are lower because I watched Cheese in the trap and countless other dramas with toxic men, but I don't think JE is that toxic. Yes his relationship with NB is not healthy, but it was a 'friends with benefits' relationship. That was known from the beginning when she kissed him right after he kissed someone else. She knew. I'm not saying she's not right to be mad at him, because her feelings are very much valid in this scenario and everything she said during their 'break up' was right. But honestly, I think the worse thing he did in the relationship was lie to her about whether he was seeing other people (right before he was punched in the face for that lie by another girl's brother).
JE obviously uses intimacy as a shield and a distraction from real feelings and sincerity. Every time NB tries to open up with him about himself, he uses sex as a way to divert the conversation. Since they don't have an established boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, this isn't necessarily toxic behavior.
Idk, maybe it's because friends with benefits break up then become boyfriend/girlfriend have been so normalized (with movies like No strings attached, or Friends with Benefits), but I guess I don't think of this as toxic behavior.
Now that might change, if JE becomes possessive and mean. but so far I don't see that. He has had an instance of jealousy which NB has called him out on, but I think there is a very obvious difference between what is going on between JE and NB and what was NB's ex-boyfriend (who was clearly abusive and toxic).
Either way, the show is going about to show that he is trying to change. Whether or not that is true is something we'll see in the next half of the season, but so far he hasn't done anything really bad. Yes, he's flirted with many girls (in front of other girls he's flirting with) and at worst that makes him sleazy, but everyone knows what he is. But it's clear he's changing because the last episode said he no longer hung out with women, and the other students find him more approachable and honest.
I'm honestly pretty excited for this show. I think it's really good. the way the director shows tension is amazing, and I honestly think this is my favorite SK show so far.
Wait I am confused. How did the bamboo forest confirm that BH is SY reincarnated?
That scene during the meteor shower... when SY says maybe they'll meet again and she'll be in a form he didn't expect... I interpreted it as saying she'll be BH. But I might be wrong.

So I guess that BH and SY both had a journey to go through. SY needed to find the will to live and to fight for herself and have confidence in herself. I do think during the first week, she was stuck as a vegetable in BH's body in the present. But after that week, after finding the will to live, she still needed to learn how to be confident in her own ability and that's when she shared her body with BH. Meanwhile, BH had to learn how to love someone besides himself, and be self sacrificing, and he achieved that when he was willing to die for CJ. (and also maybe BH needed to learn something about his sexuality ;P) I do believe that BH is SY reincarnated. I like how the Bamboo forest kind of confirmed that. Anyway, great show!!!
So from what I understand, everything went back to before people interacted with people from the future. So the time paradox fixed it so that they might remember, but it would go back to before they did anything with those people. So it would be like a vague dream/memory. That's why he woke up on the plane and isn't dead. Because time changed to before he was associated with any time travelers. His business took off probably because it always would have and it didn't actually rely on Sigma's investment (he would have found other investors). As for HTS seeing KSH, I think it was his hallucination, but he chose not to take pills and get rid of the hallucination, but instead decided to stay in it. As for Sigma, ....well, crazy doesn't go away over night. One act of kindness wasn't going to stop him from obsessing of HTS. But now he doesn't have the uploader/apocalypse to rise to power. But he still has the memories. I don't think anyone forgot, just that they went back to before they made any actions surrounding time travel. But who knows.
I understand why this drama was cancelled, but I'm really bummed for the cast. I hope they all can get new dramas soon and that this doesn't affect their careers.
Those last episodes though... so great. The villains really made this drama. Yoo Jin was by far my favorite character. She is so competent. I mean, yes she is super problematic and I do hate her, but she is amazing and I have mad respect for her.
