    That would be great if she was. I just found the episode and fast forwarded until I found her. I wonder if she recognised any of the actors being a K drama fan.

      I am sure she recognized them. No respectable kdrama fan would not know who any of them are.

      2

        correct.. has to recognize.. which also tells me that every guest is briefed beforehand about not making a fan show.. and follow a few “rules”.. we saw the glimpse of that in s2 (spain episode)… infact the young girls who recognized PSJ were circling the block in groups to catch his glimpse (typical teenager behavior.. it was cuteish because they were kids)

        If she knows Korean no way she won’t recognize any of them.

      she would have.. and am pretty sure she must have visited the regular forums – dramabeans, mydramalist etc… you can’t be a kdrama international fan and not know or be on these sites… she must be smiling looking at this

Have you ever seen a master manipulator in real life? Someone, so good who can read people so well, anticipate emotional questions and can manipulate strongest of the strongest, can manipulate the most intuitive… and really… Master Planner…

Was 1st for me… equal parts fascinating and appalling.

Kdating show sensation – My Sibling’s Romance! 16 episodes… and you will start seeing the manipulator techniques from ep 14 onwards… when everything will come together

LMFAO..
2 chinese dramas about to release

2. Northward

Looks like SKorea, Japan, and Thailand are in some 3 party trade agreements in entertainment world 😀 . Thailand is churning out remakes after remakes of Korean and Japanese blockbusters; Korea is adapting Thai trends and starting on remake journey; Japan is charging royalties and giving permission to both to remake Japanese gems or collaborate to create new gems.

And, finally, atleast IQYI understands Chinese government and overseas branches are buying rights of Chinese content.

Say what you may, but must give it to Chinese authors and literature world. Their novels, writers are really really good.

Ep9 – pretty sure ex wife is loan shark’s dead daughter. ML’s mom misread the affair dream. Man she saw was probably the guy in black…. there is so much pain here

    Now that the possibility has been mentioned, they laws of kdramaland pretty much require that she is alive and is someone we have already seen.

      If Ina’s mom is Sauna Lady’s daughter, that would be the way of making a big family… Ina would be her grand-daughter.

      I want to know more about Grace and Uncle. Are they adopted children too?

      2

        ya , i also want to kow Grace’s and Uncle’s backstory.. this drama could easily be 16 episodes without dragging but alas we have 3 more to go.. so i doubt we will get the backstory

        Sauna Lady’s family does seem a “family” of convenience. I doubt any of them are actually related.

      😀 …

      Or, the only other kdrama logic left…

      Sauna Lady started thinking of DD as her real daughter.. had accepted long time back.. but she is, you know, tsundere (replacing the rich ceo with troubled past big ego and inability to express but still depend on FL for emotional sanity)

Is there a chance that FL or ex wife is indeed goon lady’s daughter 🙁
And, I will predict…ML will go back to the time of accident and save his daughter before going back to fire day

Atypical family ep 8 – now we have two rings. Wasn’t everything a loop to date… this is like Lovely Runner… one timeline , one person at a time but two watches exist…for two rings to exit, this must be the time travel/loop beginning checkpoint because initially only 1 ring existed?

    Or maybe it is a couple ring and two already existed.

      in his vault there is only one case and only one thing being preserved… it didn’t look like that there were 2 cases…
      i am bumped to realize this has only 12 episodes 🙁

        FL has had the 2nd ring for 13 years now. So apparently a second one does exist.

        1
        2

          FL having it doesn’t mean much.. because well, if there were just 1 ring and he gave it to FL in the past.. she would still have it.. while technically he will also continue to have it until the day he does make a choice to give it to her..

          And do note, once his time comes.. he will take 1 of these rings and give it to the FL.. then that 1 ring will cease to exist in his then current present timeline.. and we will be back to 1 ring

          1

            Ah … okay that is a much more complicated but reasonable explanation, if we are going to reason out this time loopey stuff. 😅

            Well done! 👏👏👏 I’ll look forward to the drama making your prediction come true.

          ha ha.. my prediction won’t come true.. there is a leaked photo of both of them wearing the ring..

          but it nags me because it is a plothole/logic gap for me

          1
          1

            Opps but also drama logic rarely works like “real” logic so kind of expected.
            The photo also maybe just for confusion – to show both had one ring each which may become one when he gives it to her.

What happens when 1 person time travels? Does the entire universe time travels? Like all planets do a reverse rotation? like the universe? all galaxies?… hmm…

Midnight romance in Hagwon has to release public apology for showing a scene on DUI.
Great!

But, this is what I don\’t understand. How come Korea is not so active in asking for not showing the chronic drinking behavior? DUI by itself is not the only problem. Alcohol is the problem … leading to many more problems

Also,
Technical question – by medical standards and by any country\’s law or common sense… this much drinking is simply insane

How is Korea not suffering from chronic liver failures?

#ByeonWooSeok and #KimHyeYoon have been offered a new drama and are reportedly considering appearing together.

Great! Charge those Production Houses big fat paycheque .. You deserve it

Also loving the meta in ep 14 about script not being special and being rejected by other actors but actor SJ really really wanting to do it

        Guess that was the only thing left. I’ve forgotten how many amnesia episodes we’ve had and I’ve sort of closed my eyes to poor Sol-19’s mental health and memory blanks with these Sol-34’s various comings and goings.

This drama is making less and less sense. Why can\’t she scream about future, stop time, and deal with the killer.. what is this constant scaredy cat behavior and unnecessary drama

      i don’t know about others.. but since ep 11.. i have lost interest.. it is just getting annoying running in circles.. and last 3 episodes are like some teen chickfic where all that matters is how many times a hot guy can kiss a girl..

      sorry.. just very annoyed with the plot progression which is not making any sense

      5

        It is indeed annoying now. All the more so because it was so good earlier. Going in we were aware of the time travel and hence prepared for two timelines but with this constantly changing past and future it is just running in circles, like you said. I’m really confused now as to who did what, when and how.

        I feel the same way. The last few episodes had too much filler and the murderer, who appears like a boomerang seemingly at the end of every episode, makes me yawn at most.

    Why could she tell Sunjae about the future and time didn’t stop? Was it because it was him as another protagonist who had a magic watch? We stopped seeing the ‘time stopping’ effect after the first few episodes. Did I disregard something crucial that explained this in-universe rule change or did they drop the ball and forgot their own drama’s lore?

    3
    2

      1. When she sang the song, song was already written and existed in the timeline so time did not stop
      2. Rest of it is mostly SJ guessing stuff on his own and she just nods etc
      3. She really hasn’t been able to share his own future with him much.. or anyone else

      The only weird part is TS (because with him she seems to be able to communicate) and her grandmom who somehow just remembers everything (Which i think gets answered in ep 14.. that memories are not completely lost from 1 timeline to another.. since grandmom has an issue with her brain.. her memories come in and go more freely)

      2
      0

      She never tells him the future. He always conjectures and she does not refute. Whatever she says is like an add on. Like – “I am so glad he contacted you. I didn’t want to mess with your future.” Or says something like – “If I go back don’t be too sad”. She is saying something even she does not know for sure.

    I think we have a classic case of 16-episode syndrome going on here… I really hope it doesn’t crash and burn.

    Also what is so important about ads? A timeline will change but the same ad must exist in a different timeline with a different person.
