Episode 10 made me rethink giving the show a 10. Still most likely 9 or 9.5, but one thing bothered me:
Episode 10 should have been the last episode of Oh Dal Sung since now, he brings nothing to the table. All they could have used him for storytelling wise is done.

For me, they should focus now on Goo Tae Man and his alliance with Park Seung Tae - switching a weak opponent (Dal Sung) to a stronger one (Seung Tae). Seung Tae being more vital part would be extremely interesting. He does not seem as evil as the rest, as of now he is more... uninformed? But then, we don't really know much about him. His involvement would also be interesting in terms of how Park Seung Ha would react.

As for the "romance" twist - I am so not worried. Anyone who thinks this might go anywhere - are we watching a different show? Jegal already said he sees Ga Eul as a child, a kid whom he wants to protect, because she reminds him of his past and how he had no one truly on his side. There is nothing romantic about his interactions with her.

Yes, she has a crush, but I think for a young girl her age, with all the issues she has, it makes sense, but it will pass. She is grateful, he is the only person who truly believes her and roots for her and what she wants. She was lonely, and thanks to him, she does not anymore. It would be weird if she did not have any stronger feelings for him tbh. But I'm sure they will solve it, and she will move on rather fast. I'm more scared they will use it to create some scandal, like the rumor from the past.

ALSO ABOUT THAT PAST RUMOR THE FUCK ASJDHSJDFN I AM SO ANGRY. So now we know the context of it. It was not just her talking to Dal Sung and people misunderstanding. That pathetic man tried to force himself on her. He truly needs to go.

Anyway, As much as I loved episode 10, them still having Dal Sung as part of the plot gets repetitive and boring. Let's move on.

It makes sense she has feelings to him, but even she might misunderstand what it is. He is the first person she opened to, she is grateful,. trusts him etc.

As for Jegal, 100% sure he does not have feelings for her. I think when he told the ex-psychiatrist Ga Eul is just a kid, he meant it, and he just wants to protect her, because he know how vulnerable young athletes are and where it van lead if they don't have support.

That said, I have not seen episode 10 yet lol

I think because the prophecy is well know she did not take it seriously. She just thought someone was trolling her using it. I'm sure if there was no prophecy and she got messages telling her she will die, she would at least tell someone about it.

She clearly does not believe in the prophecy, so for her it's just some dumb person with too much time trying to scare her.

9 episodes in and it's not getting worse by even 1% 😭 I feel like I'm in heaven.
Yo... if they won't fuck it up, keep the steady pace and quality as it is... this might be a 10/10 for me.
Even with the few flaws I see, it's still an amazing journey.
This shit is giving me anxiety, coz I fear any episode now it's going to turn into shit like so many dramas...

After episode 3 - I love the bish that corrects that one dude's english pronunciation. I love stuff like that. She is becoming my favorite even tho this is legit all she does and all her lines 🙃

Realistically speaking, I'm not really that interested in the plot, but I like the characters, and that's what matters 🤣Hae Yi and Sun Ja are just so bubbly and amazing.

I'm also slowly getting on the Jung Woo and Hae Yi ship, and I'm ready to sail. He is so grumpy and she is so sunshine... It's fun.

1. nothing goes below 7 because there are people who either refuse to use the whole scale "because these people worked hard on this show" or because they literally rate everything 10. It's not a good thing, because it makes rating useless. When all shows are in the 8.0 to 8.9 scale.

2. I've been on this website since 2013, I find rating a show one does not like that much a 6 perfectly fine. It has nothing to do with how used to this site anyone is.

Do you mean the rats by they?
Coz if yes, answer is simple - they were hungry. The villagers (aka the son of the head village) taught rats how raw and fresh meet tastes, and then they had no issues attacking even alive creatures when they were hungry.

Why he did it? For revenge. It was not just the chief that was a bad person that led to his son's death. Everyone was blissfully ignorant, turning their back on him when they got what they wanted.
The only thing that confuses me is why he targeted the kids too...

I think he was for most of the show more than just one step ahead 😂 but that's also why i think the ending was a bit weak, coz there was no reason for me to believe they were able to outsmart him out of the blue...

The bad guy is this was truly powerful. I don't think I have ever seen a show where the bad guy played the good ones so much, when at some point, i truly was not sure they cab even win against him.

Great review. I agree with all the points.
My biggest issue was the lack of development for two main characters.
Heon was a fine and nice dude from the start, so nothing much change by the end.
And then Sol Yi could have had a nice development and become more mature, but by the age od 30, she still acted like a middle school child.

I was okay with FL acting all childish in high school, but the end the show with her being 30 and still acting like a child... there was literally no character development done on any of the mains... they stayed more or less the same throughout the show 🙃

Everyone can add the reasoning for his action, I can explain it in a similar fashion too - him dying and making sure everything goes exactly as it was in the first place is the only way to be 100% sure Jae Woo will survive. But that's the issue - it's how I explain the character's actions and not what drama actually shows. They did not give the reasoning, we as watchers had to make them ourselves.

The ending makes no sense. Didn't he come bac on January 30th? So past the date he hostel was closed... so technically he cannot go back anymore. We saw him standing in front of closed dorm. The loop makes no sense 🤣

I'd appreciate if people accept the fact some people had issues with the show that had nothing to do with the fact the ending was tragic 🙂 I'm one of the people.

I think the intention was to free Jae Woo from his guilt and for him to know that Ji Hoon had willingly sacrificed himself to save him. And Ji Hoon would choose to do it again in loop after loop. < yeah, but you can do it without making Ji Hoon look like an idiot. Literally just adding "I could try to change the outcome, but the only way to be sure you survive, is to keep it as it was" or something like that. Giving a proper reasoning (or any tbh) for the characters action is a must.

my first thought was: wait, let me check if they are all worth it 🤣
and I have to say some are truly questionable 🤡

It's more of a question watch. You have no time to hate, you question everything coz nothing makes sense

I agree with many of your points!
Hyung Jin was truly amazing character! :)
Great review 👍🏻

I love how much respect they had for each other. Them understanding that their jobs are demanding and never making an issue out of it was awesome. Showed that while they were a couple, they were also individuals.

you won't die if you skip this one 🙂

based on the review 7.5 seems high 🤣
