i know right? Where is Alex making Pink Lady to RJ? I was so sure they will use it as him confession his feelings and... it never happened 🤣🤣

yeah, I'm just not sure i like this "mechanic" coz there is not real proper explanation why they can see some villages and some not... This "ties" thing... I don't think Jang Pan Seok truly had any tie there. For Wook it was his mom, who was it for Pan Seok?

Some thoughts after 4 episodes.
First of all my ranking of girls and guys:

Girls: Nadine, Seulgi, Se Jeong, So E, Seo Eun.
Nadine is the best. I wish she was a bit more proactive, like when Se Jeong and new guy went talking, and she was just - I'll stay. I feel like he wanted her to do, he kept turning around and even extended hand in her direction, but she just gave up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I still believe she has one of the more healthy approaches - it's a fun new adventure and experience.
I appreciated how Seulgi dealt with Dong Woo... omg their date was just frustrating to watch.
I also gain some sympathy towards So E. I don't really feel bad for her for not being picked, because I honestly think Yoong Jae never hinted he might be interested. It's brave of her to just go what she feels like doing, but I also appreciate that she made it clear it's "her bossiness" and had that chat with him.

Guys: Jin Young, Yoong Jae, Han Bin, Jong Woo, Dong Woo.
Jin Young is just awkward, shy and a bit dry in humor, but this is the shit I like 🤣
Yoong Jae is truly attractive. I like how collected he is and helpful when small things go wrong. + he is hot so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dong Woo... I don't even think there is anything wrong with him, but damn he pushes things to go fast and does not get the hint when the pace is a bit too much for the other person.

About the preview before I forget, IF Jin Young was truly the one saying to Seul Gi he wanted to take things slower and it will be in the context: shit is going too fast I was LAUGH MY ASS OFF coz that's what she also did to Dong Woo lol But knowing shows like this, it's a completely unrelated shit and he was talking to someone else. Or he wanted to take things slow, but he does not regret it going so fast lol

That said, damn I wanted him and Nadine to get a chance to chat. I feel like they would click well together.

Honestly don't have many thoughts about these eps. The most entertaining part was Dong Woo and Seulgi's date coz it was just cringe and paint o watch 😅

random thoughts as I was watching episode 1
oof

So episode 1 it's like a hyperbole of the nonsens that can happen in the office work. Like drawning the circles, then erasing it and doing the same with x, just because the boss said you have to do it. I'm sure many of us did things we saw and we knew are pointless, but they were orders we just had to do. How workplace can make us into basically idiots, because we do need the job, and we need the money. So we just go along with it.

Or the job interview - every question is useless and tricky and is there just to prove how incompetent or not fitted for the job you are. It does not matter what answer you give - none is correct coz all can be twisted as something negative. Basically like a power trip during a job interview. You can give the best and most creative answer ever, but it does not matter.

Her taking the stairs? Again abiding by bullshit nonsense rules without questioning. Bish even thank the dude after he "explained" how she can't take the elevator to floor 22 and then walk the stairs that one last floor. Following the authority, especially in the new environment, without questioning shit that if obviously pintless.

Also, I think this is also a commentary how we stay in the well known patters even if they are not productive, simply because things always been this way. And trying to suggest change is scary, and since everyone accepts the current state, it means it's working so why would be even try to challenge it? Everyone cannot be wrong, it's more likely I don't understand why it's like that. You know... Stuff like Milgram experiment or Asch Conformity Experiment. Both good examples how awful people are at going against:
1. Authority
2. Groups of people.

Also.. the name of her department has me dying inside lol "Metaverse Ubiquitous NFT Digital Convergence Deep Learning Big Data Task Force Team" aka buzz words used online a lot, half of them being bullshit when put together lol But is sounds fancy, so you would rather just nod when you hear it instead of saying: yeah shit makes no sense. Coz what if it does? And you are just uneducated?

So they are basically lab rats at work without questioning it. How sad and how real.

Omg her picking Alice as the name. Ah yes so subtle, like Alice in Wonderland 🤣🤣

"But there must be reason behind it all" As I said, do not question and stand out, just go with the flow, you are either too stupid, too new or too incompetent for them to explain.

"Do you want me to teach you how to be good at work? Don't ask yourself "Why". No. Just don't even try to think. To be honest, we're just getting paid... by selling ourselves." and how she was able to let all the doubts go after seeing the paycheck... oof.

OH so now that she found out her job IS IN FACT bullshit and not that she just does not get it and not asking questions... will she keep doing it coz the pay is good, putting aside pride and reason, or will she leave?

oof... the fact they all knew... oof. Also the interview at the beginning makes so much sense by the end. They wanted someone who does not try to figure shit out and find the reason behind why some things work this way or another why. That's why when she just answered: there must be a reasons, right?" it was a good answer coz it means she accepts whatever is thrown at her without thinking too deeply about it.

THE WAY SHE LEFT OMG

First of all, I feel like Thomas being a supporting character is a lie and that opening bit is all we will get. He did not show up after and I did not see him in the preview on episode 2 😭 I am sad. I want more of my boi. I liked him so much in season 1.

Joon Ho is still cute and hot Mr. Cop. I like how he is less cold and more chill now. He had great character development in season 1 so it's great to see more cheerful and bickering side of him.

Not sure I vibe with the long hair of Wook 😅

More nice roles to Heo Joon Ho, I actually like him in this cute nice role than his evil ones.

Oh Il Yong is sus 🤣 From preview, so is Kang Eun Sil.

Knowing shows like that, every case is connected. We will see with more episode.
Have to say though, this is a good first episode for a 2nd season.

My question tho - why they can see ghosts again? It for now makes no sense with how it was explained in season 1.

I think they hinted that with each time they come it will be easier, so chances are the wait will get shorter and the length they can stay will get longer :D

just saw the trailers and DAMN I AM EXCITED! 😭

this show just makes me angry.
people being pissed at Yeo Reum about not reporting the dude for vandalism, when in the past the same people convinced Bom not to report her father for stabbing her with a knife by an accident.

I think that's my biggest issue - it has too many conflicting moments and messages as if the writer has no idea what exactly they want to tell... Like... 2 episodes left. It's a bit too late for characters development in my book.

and now it turned into a murder mystery... I just... if it was 16 episode I would drop it.

The drama is a product I as a viewer consume, and if I find it lacking I will write about it.
The romance was a big part of the story, but even putting it aside, the show had many other issues. It's not like the romance was only bad thing is overall perfect show

I just felt like we were getting bits and pieces of subplots but never the full story < this perfectly sums it up. They introduced too many plots and did not truly elaborate on any...

bad news, it is already normalized. < exctly why it should face even more criticism. Because it's normalized.
It's not true the trope would live no matter what. In straight romance we have fish barely touching lips surprised kissing as a norm, viewers started to complain a lot, now we get normal kissing scenes.

bad tropes should not be normalized lol They should be pointed out so maybe the writers will at some point understand how stupid the writing of their show is and try to fix it.

all of this. There was no logical way for them to keep the misunderstanding going, so they just picked the easiest way - lack of communication lol

I honestly cannot think of any possibility of this still being a misunderstanding in a real life. I guess I do - if he actually quit and they lost contact. You can't fix a misunderstanding when you don't even talk to the person in the first place. But with them still meeting and seeing each other one way or another, this misunderstanding makes NO SENSE lol

this^

Random thought, but you know what I like? The fact the mom is actually not this evil person ready to crush kids dreams just because. They showed us just one (Gun's) perspective in episode 1, but with each and every episode they made sure that we can see she is just... an adult, doing her job and she does not hate these kids hahaha

I feel like they just got a lot closer during the tutoring, so Gun slowly warmed up to Tinn. But as Shalmali said, the pool and bed scene especially were the moments that Gun might have felt there is more to it than just - it's not that bad hanging out with Tinn.

Tho I guess we will know as the show progesses. Wouldn't be the first drama to have 2 dude pinning for each other completely unaware of each other's feelings hahaha

omg hahaha real bl or 2gether something hahahaha love it. hi5 for great comment

yes, thank you. give me more sweet feels. as if the show did not already melt me with cuteness hahahaha

I liked episode 1. Was is lacking? Probably. I guess I watched it at the right time - tired after work and needing something easy to follow.
