Extraordinary You, Ep 9.
I love how simple the explanation is – that the writer reused characters, storyline, dialogue, even their names, over and over again until the characters became self aware. It’s something many beanies had guessed already and it fits the story.

I’m curious about what this great tragedy is. My guess is that in Flower, Baek Kyung or Haru or even Danoh (but less likely her) killed one of the others in the Shadow/on the side while a Stage was going on. Whatever happens during a Stage is irreversible right? Like when Do-hwa dragged Ju-da away at Nam-joo’s birthday. Or that Baek Kyung’s big announcement wasn’t erased off memories the way Dan-oh smashing the vase in art class, ep 2, was.

So perhaps one of the characters died & with that, the story unravelled, and the writer just ended it unfinished, instead of giving everyone a happy ending & lives they could continue beyond the manhwa. Perhaps that closure means they are now free from the manhwa to live their lives.

    On second thought Dan-oh smashing the vase in art class, ep 2, was to do with Haru’s lack of interference. Or it would have been a permanent change on stage. 🤔

      Someone was killed for sure! Haru’s scar is an important aspect of the plot. I don’t think Dan oh killed anyone. It’s either Haru (but it looked like he was holding the sword with his bare hands while trying to protect someone?) Or Baek kyung. I’d bet on Kyung cause he, well, has issues. Real issues. I can’t stand the fight over Dan Oh as well(tho all those scenes end with Haru walking off like a boss) cause for me, the love triangle doesn’t exist at all.
      I am amazed at how this drama still makes me excited for the next EPs even after 8eps already cause mostly by this time with other dramas, I keep yawning at my screen and watch just for the sake for watching! That’s how extraordinary “Extraordinary You” is, haha!

        Right?! I also think Baek Kyung did the killing -and it was Danoh he killed by accident. Or maybe Haru killed Baek Kyung. Can’t wait to learn more.

        Yes to the extraordinary power of this drama.

    I always wondered how did the writer name him Haru when it was the name given by Dan Oh. Glad to know to have this answered now – this writer is recycling not only the stories but even their names lol

    But it makes me wonder why writer decided to add Haru as an extra….. it seems to me Baek Kyung – Haru – Dan Oh were the leads in flower……… I think secret is a spin off of flower.. where Baek Kyung gets a love line with Dan Oh… since maybe in Flower the love line was Haru and Dan Oh… and then I guess writer’s lightbulb went off and decided to get Haru in Secret too! Siigh. Theories theories theories

      May be Haru died in Flower and hence the writer wanted to write a new work without the nasty love triangle. And somehow Haru made it inside the script. How. And why.

        In the end tropey love triangle wins! 🤓 I think about the readers of this writer’s works and imagine how they must have felt seeing characters they fell in love with die… and writer continues to write off characters😪

      But but I want for Haru & Danoh to love each other because they love each other, not because the writer intended it to be that way in the past story. >_<
      Hahaha theories theories theories indeed.

        I know!! I would have preferred a plot where Dan Oh falls for him because it was her decision to love him and not because in another lifetime, they were together. In the end, she’s tied to the writer’s plot💔

        THIS IS MY BIGGEST QUALM UGH IF THEY END UP BEING THE CANON LEADS OF FLOWER I WILL BE SO DISAPPOINTED.

        I want the drama screenwriters to make a statement. How you can’t always subject your female leads to the stupid treatment by the male leads, and how they start to break out of this nonsensical mould to fall for a guy that cares and respects for them. Because irl no one can put up with shitty treatment like that

        Somehow the notion of Danoh and Haru falling in love off stage is more romantic. Please don’t make them the onstage couple of Flower God I’m going to be SO SAD.

          Exactly! The notion of Danon & Haru falling in love offstage is incredibly romantic. I’d love for IT to be the storyline.

    Even if someone died off stage the writer can bring them back on stage.
    So am not sure why the writer would leave it unfinished?
    What gives them the power to change the stage?????

    Given Kyung’s outburst it’s an accident waiting to happen.

    I haven’t watched this week’s episodes yet but the writer’s lack of creativity is extraordinary lol. I was starting to think Secret was the work of a passionate fan creating a Flower highschool AU.

    That’d be an interesting twist that they’re self aware because the writer left their previous story unfinished. I hope the real explanation is as interesting as all the fan theories 😃

      Oops read that wrong, so the self awareness came from the writer reusing everything so many times

        YUP 😀 Still applies though – I also hope the real explanation is as interesting as all the fan theories. ^^
