Yes, it's a happy ending where they end up together.

I just finished this, I'm not sure how some people don't like this one. I really enjoyed every moment.

First few episodes is mostly lighthearted and fun stuff, sometimes even cringey, but later it becomes more serious and so good. Plenty of ups and downs and can really tear you up. I'm almost done episode 15 out of 16 now, and this episode is making me cry so much throughout, not many dramas make me tear up this much. I know most people don't want to give a show a chance if it doesn't hook them in right away, but if you hang in there, it's well worth it.

I agree. A 6 episode series would've been much better for each character story

Watched this a few days ago. i was in a middle of writing a comment here during that night, but I had to go do something and then I guess I forgot to finish and post it.

Anyway, I enjoyed the movie, but it left out some details about the very concept and tech itself.

Luckily, I've seen this concept done before in anime and video games, which explained more in them about this concept and how it works in that world.

Particularly, the visual novel and anime, Steins; Gate zero comes to mind. The AI is made from uploading the latest consciousness and brain data at the time it is uploaded, so all personality, memory and their very being is present for that time, but anything after isn't recorded with and new memory after.

So I'm thinking it could be almost the same, if they put their memory data in before they pass or go in a coma. They didn't really say, which had me wondering.

Otherwise, I was hooked because of the concept and all these well known actors. It could have been executed a little better though and went way too quickly. For a sci-fi, usually there needs some more to it, but I don't mind sci-fi after all the many romance Kdramas that are usually out there. Maybe that's why this one didn't do too well, because the target audience for most Kdramas, including this site, is probably romance/comedy.

It's also an episode idea for a black mirror episode too, so it's something you might have seen there. I think there even was a black mirror episode that was kind of like this movie as well.

Either way, I liked it and rated it 8/10. I wish there was more.

I just finished episode 6. Most kdramas have romance but other central plots too. this one has romance but is mainly focused on mental health and people dealing with mental health or personality disorders.

there's quite a few action scenes to get that adrenaline rush. Male lead can be pretty badass at times, but it's not as action packed as let's say, Vagabond.

no. it's in Korean only with subtitles. it's on Netflix.

just started reading this and it seems like it'll be quite dark. I think it'd be better off as an anime.

oh sorry. I thought you were posting in this specific show's page, "Crash course in romance" to somehow say it was one of the disappointing ones of 2023. since this discussion here is about this kdrama show.

what makes it disappointing? I just finished it and I really love it.

give it a chance. yes the first episode was stupid, but the rest of it takes a complete 180 from there and isn't like that at all and is really, really good.

ha ha. no worries. I thought I was going crazy thinking it couldn't be that date already and had to check the date twice to make sure.

the way you phrased it sounds like present tense that today is August 28th, 2023. Today is only Aug 25th or 26th if you're in a further timezone. Aug 28th, 2023 is not for another few more days.

How are you from the future a few days ahead? anyway, I'm starting to watch this for the first time and just started episode 4. so far it seems pretty good. the first episode was so sad.

I get they were going the more realistic approach with his character on how drugs is a seriously tough thing to quit and once leaving prison, it's not as easy to continue your life outside of prison, but i thought his ending was still bad when everyone else pretty much got a happy ending. I thought that he'd at least end up in the same place and kind of wanted to go back because he felt less alone in prison and be with friends. I guess that leaves us to fill in the blank that he did go to another prison to be with new friends, and maybe they did that just in case there was a 2nd season for him to be one of the mc again

It's very sentimental and heartwarming, like the good kind when you see how much these characters end up liking one another and how much they'll go out of their way for one another. Sentimentality tends to get to me and makes me cry and this series does, but there's nothing sad like a main character dying or anything. Some do leave and most of the characters do have a pretty tragic backstory.
