You're just mad... that he smoked? < I think he blames his dad smoking for the mother's lung cancer, since he smoked at home so her was secondhand smoking. So basically he is angry he left, but he also started to blame him for the mothers death.

As for the last 2 episodes, I completely agree, it was just not fitting the rest of the shot at all. Felt extremely detached.

sad, but not too sad is what I call soft angst 🤣
I completely agree tho. there was enough sad moments to make me feel more engaged, but not depressive when I felt tired after watching.

completely agree on the last 2 episodes. they were so random plot wise and did not fot the rest of the show at all. it was a bit too late to introduce such a heavy topic, since they had to "close" it right away, not giving it enough exploration...

Agreed with it all. I would also say the movie fails with the "twists". They try to present a few and they all felt flat :(

I honestly don't think it's a case of stockholm syndrome. While I think she cared for the younger sister, I think she wanted to rescue her. If she truly had stockholm syndrome, she would not plan how to escape. She acted as a good and oblivious girl, because she knew this will be her way of surviving.

She did not trust him, not once. But she knew her trust does not matter. So she just went along with whatever he suggested and what they were doing. Not causing issues was her way of surviving until she saw the way of escaping.

I missed these kinds of action comedies < same! action comedy should be rather simple, so the comedy and the jokes can actually shine and be appreciated.

redvelvet shirt scene was amazing 🤣
when the threw the knife, I died

pretty sure he was Russian names Yuri, but ML thought he was RV fan who liked Yeri 🤣

ah yes... sick mother, exactly what we needed. because painfully underdeveloped and not explored psycho on the loose and murder is not enough for the entertainment 🤣

and if the mom is not sick, that's just painfully annoying misdirect at the end of the episode.

Cheerleading in Korea and West is quite different from what I have seen. I wrote about it in a comment below as a reply to someone else:

"Honestly, from what I watched online, cheering like that is more like a conductor for the audience, where the audience becomes part of the event itself, compared to cheering in other countries where it's about only the cheer team performance." so easy and repetitive moves make sense since the goal of the performance in different.

Honestly, Tin failing at the beginning was kind of fun to watch 🤣
The idea he thought just saying: you gonna die tonight 10:55PM and that's it was nuts 🤣

I agree with how Tin felt like a different person. He was too cold, cynical and indifferent. Technically speaking it's the same Tin we met in episode 1, right before he entered time loop, but he was not unlikable to this extreme there...

"pleasingly flawed" are the best characters. There is nothing more boring than flawless good ones 🙃

The reason the medical procedures did not look too bad, was because they did not really show many 🙃 the either focused on wide shots, or extreme close up to actors faces so the procedure was barely shown.

I do agree that they did quite well with dealing with potential repetitiveness of time loops. What helped was the complexity of the issue - they were able o focus on different aspects of it in every loop, while make sure it all ties together at the end.

Great review tho, nicely presents good and not so great aspects of the show :)

I enjoyed episodes 2-5. but episode 6 conflicts a lot with messages they tried to sent to far.

I pointed out how Yeo Reum was wrong, and now you change the topic to grandma? lol The issue are not separate characters. The issue is overall message the episode sends - Bom was wrong. Not one character thought of her as priority, Yeo Reum included. Why after the yelling scene the writer and director decided to show Yeo Reum comforting the grandma not Bom, who was the victim? My issue is everyone prioritized either the dad or the grandma, and it was shown as a valid and reasonable thing to do.

Again, he should not be fighting his child off with his knife while being drunk in the first place. What he did was still a crime. What he did was still unacceptable and he should be punished for it, not excused. The fact his hurt ego was more important than safety of his daughter shows how he does not deserve forgiveness and sympathy he received from EVERYONE in the town. We got MORE scenes of people comforting dad and grandma about the whole incident this episode than Bom. You can show problematic and realistic situations without sending a message that it's not actually as bad and normalizing it. this drama did not do it.

This is not documentary tho. It's not even a psychological drama that supposer to depict realistically domestic abuse. It's a slice of life healing show, up till now not realistic in any aspect. But they want to be "realistic" with just this one topic?

22:59 exact time she yelled at Bom about how could she say these things in front of the grandma. She could calm her down without insinuating she was wrong for saying these things instead of everyone else being wrong with their approach to Bom. She did not raise her voice and said: Bom calm down, your wound might open. She did not raise her voice and ask everyone to leave so Bom can calm down. She raised her voice and questioned how Bom could say these things in front of the grandma. there is a difference. And later literally the scene cuts to Yeo Rum comforting grandma and not Bom.

I think it was An Dae Beom who paid. He made a deal with the professor. That would explain why he decided to work with him now out of a blue. He might have sold the rights to his theory or something.

The scene about selling the phone was probably just the same as Yeo Reum trying to help with paying and even Sung Min.

All the drama with main love triangle, the murder mystery and psycho on the loose, and here I am caring the most about Oreo and the bro not being a thing, my ship sinking so bad 🤣

My issue was more about everyone's reaction than the dad himself.
It's not like I have any expatiations towards abusive father. While I found grandma a trash too for picking him over her granddaughter, I can still understand it, because he is her son. I can even understand the son, who is probably trying to keep the family together, no matter how dysfunctional it is, he wants to keep the illusion going.

But anyone else in the village is awful. Everyone looks down on her father and calls him drunk, the moment she says it after being abused, she is criticized. I was especially angry with Lee Yeo Reum. When Bom was crying and yelling ay her hospital bed while everyone tried to emotionally blackmail her into forgiving the dad and lying for him, I thought she would be the one to side with Bom. At least ask them to give her a minute to calm down. but she also yelled at her and also criticized her. As if she has any right. Bom has to forgive and help her dad after the abuse, when few days earlier she refused to give a ring from her mother to help her brother. Asking for the ring was too much and she could be angry, but being abused and stabbed (even if by an accident) by her dad is not valid reason to be angry? This show sends such a conflicting messages it's hard to enjoy.

Yeo Reum preaches how she wants to find herself and not care what others think, while also adding to pressure Bom is facing to do what others expect her to do , no matter how she herself feels about it.

We are 6 episodes in and I am just disliking Yeo Reum more and more.
