It seems so. They skipped to the next part which was the classes mission creating choreos for songs. They cut off a lot of individual battles as well. Wished they released it online at least. I wanted to see wolflo's battles too since they won all their battles but we barely got to see them too. Same with tsubakill, we only saw akanen.

again unnecessary drama on this show. SMF had less drama but both S1&S2 of SWF has drama.
They made more drama in S2. 🙄
2 episodes and already we have
1 million Lia vs Deep n Dap Mina drama kinda similar to Honey J & Rihey coca n butter S1
Bada & Redy
Harimu & Redlic
Jam Republic & Mannequeen (Redlic & Latrice which we won't ever know content since they never aired that part that received backlash)

Thanks for your response
Yes we were shown he actively wanted it but they didn't show the method in which he obtained it(This is what I'm asking).
We were only shown the initial ritual where they created ghosts, but how does the ghost get obtained by someone else in a different family cause it was initially bound to YHS's family
That's true there was no point . I thought perhaps it would lessen the dad's guilt.
Yes, but I thought as long as the rope is hung and no one opens the door then it exists? Ghost could still possess her within the room or talk to her in that area that's contained by line. The fire was created by ghost, firefighters broke in and the line was gone. When she regained consciousness she went back home after awhile & hung the rope over the door and closed it. No one opened it. The ghost had a conversation with her and asked GSY to not get rid of her but GSY refused & the ghost threatened her with her mom and left. Then GSY opened the door to save her mom.
I'm asking how it was possible for ghost to leave the room & harm the mom when the rope was there over door?

yes I don't like those tropes either
but on ep 11, he actually makes it clear which is good. That he was already trampled over once, he can't let it happen again. They need to work things out together & she needs to have courage otherwise they shouldn't see each other again. Hopefully it's enough for FL to reach a decision. Hope it doesn't turn into a case where things repeat again

My understanding from watching 10 episodes-
I understand that she was a teenager when she broke up with him when they were in college and as she mentioned she had to weigh things. I also think both FL & ML have abandonment issues.
FL was dependent on her foster family & they took care of her as a kid. She couldn't persuade her mom and made the choice to let him go with a goal of reaching independence.
She didn't bother communicating these things to him either when she broke up with him.

10 years later and she's still the same.
She doesn't recognize how manipulative her foster mother is. I understand you think of them as family and don't want to risk being disowned. She wants to do better to make her parents acknowledge her & accept her choices. But she doesn't realize how her OCD is triggered from her foster mom who called her "dirty" when they first met.

What I don't understand is how she has the courage to tell SY that she wants to reconcile with him, but she doesn't apologize or explain her predicament 10 years ago. Yes, he knew that her parents opposed their relationship. But she didn't tell him the truth and hurt him by saying she toyed with him and that he's dirty. How do you expect anyone to open up to you or state they like you after you said hurtful things to them when you broke up? Imo asking for reconciliation isn't an apology, it's you thinking that you weren't wrong. She could've asked for it AFTER she apologized & clearly explained her situation. And her brother's friend was right about how the same obstacles would be present if she wants to be with him again. She has no backbone to stand up against her mom and she doesn't properly communicate with SY either. SY also sucks at communicating with her too.
On ep 10, she needs a drink to help her have the courage to speak. But instead it's a blaming game instead of talking to each other.

I just hope that this communication issue isn't dragged for 10 more episodes (ep 10-20)& that they get together in like the last 10 episodes cause it's a waste of time. It's better for them to work things out together & how to overcome the obstacles (her family mainly) together.

edit- ok after watching ep 11, I see how they're talking things out and how she realizes how she wants everything but is scared to lose things.

so far this drama has a few frustrating elements. I hope they don't drag things out.

- They never clearly explained how Professor Gu (GSY's dad) had the ghost possess him. It was being passed down in YHS's family to each head. Assuming they made the next host touch her objects to be possessed (like how GSY got possessed by touching red hair accessory). So YHS probably got possessed since he saw himself when he opened the door & saw his mom getting killed. SO how then did the ghost transfer from YHS to Prof Gu?? and how was he alive after this transfer process? Because YHS father & grandfather died before it switched hosts?
- Hae sang's friend Woo jin, I wonder why Hae sang never told the father about how Woojin's ghost was accompanying him for awhile? He was with Hae sang for all those years, I'm sure they talked about something?
- Also how come Woojin was still affected by the hungry ghost as a ghost? How does a ghost harm another ghost was something I wish was explained. We never saw two ghosts fighting each other. In the scene where Haesang discovered the truth on bridge, Woojin stood in the way and got flipped over the bridge instead and disappeared. I never understood that part. So that suicide ghost could harm ghosts as well??
- They mentioned the ghost appeared at sunset and disappeared during sunrise. It also appeared on rainy days. But the voice phishing criminal was murdered by ghost after sunrise in broad daylight?
- They showed how the ghost couldn't leave because of line of prohibition so it started a fire. How then did it escape & show GSY that her mother would be the next victim?? So the line of prohibition suddenly was ineffective that day?
- If Lee Hyangi saw YHS's evil grandma place her finger behind the painting...why didn't she take it before? She had multiple opportunities to take it away & not let it be a threat to her? Or if she did do that & evil grandma found out she was worried grandma would have her sealed though? But grandma was money hungry and dgaf about her spouse, son, grandson. She also mentioned to the evil shaman that she had no intentions of getting rid of the juvenile ghost.
- Why did a Spirit of Darkness (whatever it was) appear when YHS went to Baekagol(GSY's mom village) and use same method as that Ms.Park old lady? She was able to see her daughter's ghost but how come when YHS wanted to see Prof Gu's ghost he wasn't able to and instead saw a Dark cloud of spirits.
- The arrogant girl (Yoojung?) who got married & possessed by a hungry ghost we never see what happened to her in the end. Her eyes were still red while hospitalized, so assuming she was still possessed. They didn't do anything to get rid of the ghost in her?

I enjoyed it! Ended up binge watching it cause it was exciting. Really liked the ending too. Now I don't have to worry about doors while watching the drama since it's over. Throughout the entire drama kept saying "dont open the door" but people would still do it. I only had a few issues story wise. There were some inconsistencies or things that could've been explained.

This would've been fine with 12 episodes. 16 episodes felt too draggy at one point for me. It's a light drama overall.

Yea very few dramas give more details about supporting characters and leave minimal questions about them too.
But I know he remembers her cause she cursed him.
But he lived 4 more lives than her. He also had the knowledge of how to help the others forget their past lives and guide them. No explanation as to how he knows. I assumed the first life of jieum as su wasn't his first life.

I love the drama overall but there were a couple of plot holes in the writing. I feel like they cut out a lot from the story so many details were missing.
they mainly focus on FL's story and ignore supporting characters
also we only get glimpses of her 12 lives not even 19.
If they wanted amnesia why must it be the last episode. It's so frustrating and repetitive.
minki said it's his 23rd life we dont know anything about why he's stuck with past life memories& who he is waiting for
seo ha's mom first life too. how long has she had memories of her past lives? also seoha never gonna find out the girl who gave him the turtle was his mom's current life. Hopefully he didn't toss out the turtle.
the accident. im assuming the brakes malfunctioning was an unintentional thing? but ban haksu doesnt even go to jail for it.

I'm only on ep 22 and there's a few things bothering me.
How is she a "strong FL" if she's saved by the ML numerous times. I've lost count since the first episode. She's getting closer to a damsel in distress. Also sometimes she uses her martial arts and they showed her to be good when beating Jingchen in the beginning using some sort of skill she learned while being possessed. But she never uses it again...
Well it isn't the first time I saw a label with "strong FL" being misleading. Her character at least is bearable to watch.
The amount of times she also gets abducted and never learns is also surprising. I thought she'd learn her lesson and watch her back or be more cautious. But she always get knocked out unconscious or abducted.

Ep 24- she somehow gets knocked unconscious by Pei Yuan and tied up?? That was so random outta nowhere. They didnt even show Fu yao drinking anything that could've been tampered with a sedative drug. Also Jingchen breaks her rope and she still sits there waiting to be slashed by Pei Yuan (the servant stopped her in time but still... )

You know I'm Muslim myself.
I agree that Korea rarely shows other cultures in a positive way and it's not the first time Korea has done that. Also I didn't know the pig incident happened in Korea too. That's disrespectful.
Man Who Dies to Live (MWDL) was another k-drama related to Middle East. I've never watched that or this drama but I've heard MWDL was worse.
The scene in question was the Arab prince drinking & surrounded by women, right?
It does happen & people cannot deny that. There's people who drink or surround themselves around women even in the Muslim country I was born in. Most of which is haram, they're doing.
I'd be upset too if they were insulting or mocking religion or our beliefs. But there was no mention of Islam.
That scene should be a wake-up call for Muslims. If you find it offensive, you should hold those Muslims who engage in such behavior accountable for ruining the reputation of Muslims. If Muslims acted properly&decently according to religion and THEN stuff like this was shown, then I'd understand why we're angry only at them. But no one is getting angry at the Muslims who're normalizing these behaviors. If people feel ashamed of being shown in this way, then they should take this chance and change for the better. People will still talk about us regardless, but at least we would know amongst ourselves that this stuff isn't being done & we're doing our best to follow our religion. Right now, we know these acts are being done & the question is: Are we putting in the effort to follow our religion the way we're supposed to?
In my family we talk about how Dubai is supposedly a Muslim country, but it doesn't look like it at all. Muslims are not united at all & some Muslims don't even accept what our religion says. For example, smoking is haram. Majority of Muslims would start arguing that fact and I know a lot of Muslims who smoke and defend it.
It's up to you to be offended or not, but you all should know that it was Muslims who disobeyed their religion & who gave others this chance to show us that way.
Also, it's the first time I've heard of people being punished. Where I was born, the corrupt government doesn't care about these things.

I know it's not. Even if there's disclaimers about it being fictional, there's still people who don't understand that. People made an issue out of Snowdrop & Joseon Exorcist was cancelled cause even Koreans don't understand what fictional is. So you can expect other cultures to react the same as Koreans did even when things are fictional. You can't change narrow-minded people.
But also it's rare to see Koreans show other cultures in a positive way. It's something I've noticed as well. So I can see why some cultures are upset.

Anyways, I was just trying to understand their side. I already stated my opinion about how I don't think it's a huge issue either cause I know some Arabs engage in that behavior and not all Arabs are religious or Muslims. Some are Christians or of other religion. So as long as there wasn't a scene that specifically attacked someone's religion/beliefs, I don't see an issue.

sorry but some Arabs do drink & some arabs do touch women. Idk what world these people are living in to say it doesn't happen. Only the religious people who actually follow their religion don't do both. Should've added gambling too. Bunch of casinos there too.

Dunno about the Arab princes but that Saudi king/PM isn't great from what I heard.
If it was mocking someone's beliefs/religion, then I'd understand the backlash. But if they showed drinking & them hanging around women, then it's not entirely inaccurate. Some do those stuff especially those who're rich. But I do understand if they're worried about viewers thinking all Arabs are like that and falling into stereotypes. But most K-dramas have disclaimers. (I haven't watched this drama so don't know if they did).
I'm not Saudi but I know most Muslims from other countries feel similarly. They don't like the Saudi Bin salman w/e or most of the royals.

But also I don't understand why Korea never learns. It faces backlash from every culture whether from k-dramas or k-pop (like how Indians triggered by BP, the "cultural appropriation", & they even cancelled Joseon Exorcist cause of koreans.

KGO not suspecting Prof Min at all was very stupid. Just cause you know him longer doesn't mean he's trustworthy. Sometimes even family betrays you so doesn't mean anything. Min Sung ho was suspicious from the start. I even remember him mentioning Jae Hee in the first episode as a first love and then we see Jae Hee later on so I thought something was wrong with him. But they never explained Jae Hee. And KGO never recognized Jae Hee so his first love must be some other Jae Hee
KYH had me in tears near the last two episodes when he was desperate to keep it a secret that Elijah caused the fire.
Bromance is nice but KGO not using his brain cells at all in episode 15 had me PISSED
how obvious is it when you see the culprit dead his phone unlocked with calls to YH.
Man didn't even check the call log to see how long the conversation was cause it could've been a scam.
Didn't even wonder or suspect why from the start his mentor/prof hates KYH so much & doesn't trust him.
CKH flash drive with info on all of them was never used by Pres Heo. They mentioned that & left it out. Completely forgotten.

The drama was good. Jinyoung did great as an idol actor. But his character Kim Ga On is so frustrating! The distrust between him & Yohan initially is understandable but later on after their bromance developed?! Also if he's gonna follow the path of a judge where they make choices based off evidence then he should've gathered solid evidence instead of being driven by his emotions or what others say.
His character was a disappointment. Also don't understand the purpose of Yoon so hyun either.
Still loved it cause of Yo han's character. It's why Ji Sung is one of my favorite actors.

When you reach around that episode you'll see what I mean.I don't want to give further spoilers.

No, he didn't. Around Episode 14 I think. I don't remember exactly.
