I don’t get DAYS. I feel that the set up is weak, things happen for no rhyme or reason, and the show just a vehicle to stuff all the tropes in. I see the drama but I don’t see the story.

    I feel you. The whole contract doesn’t make sense. The FL is in a lose-lose situation from the start. And the whole we-are-fated-to-love-each-other and childhood tragedy seem too cliche and forced. I also cringed so hard at the ending of ep 3. Who in the right mind would say those lines? How can you be so sure that you’ll fall in love with someone??? I might watch the show just to admire how pretty it is, but I’m ready to abandon the train any time.

      I agree! What’s the point? She could have just let the truck of doom be since she’s terminally ill. Why choose between dooming the world or a loved one?

      I find myself trying too hard to rationalise the plot. And it gets me annoyed, because I don’t find the drama interesting. I’m forcing myself to fill in the plot holes for the scriptwriter, because he is deliberating leaving them as puzzles. I’ll be more motivated if say the drama tried to engaged me first, but instead I find the drama not anchored to any logic and the leads are just behaving nonsensically.

      I get why they both want the FL to fall in love with the ML, but I think this is way too convenient. All the “build up” just for them to try to romance each other. I am also not biased to the lead actors so I’m looking at them very neutrally, and I don’t think this drama is the meant for that. I got neither their charm nor their chemistry from those clichéd romantic scenes.

        Yeah I think the scriptwriter tried too hard to build the conflict but it fell short. However, I must say the shots are so beautiful and the actors give me so much feel that I might stick around a little bit longer just for them hehe.

        here’s my only disagreement with this comment:
        if you were told you had 100 days to live, WOULD you just let the truck of doom kill you on day ONE???? Ultimately, we all want to live a long and healthy life, and being told that you’d die sooner than you thought typically does not mean that you would give up on the moment-to-moment self-preservation instinct.

          Yes I would. If the alternatives were doom to the entire world or doom to my loved one, rationally since I don’t have long to live I’d rather doom myself.
