Basically FX's mother knew she was expecting a boy, because that was in the simulation program. There is no magic power in their world, just that the book she made them read contained the instructions how to change the "virtual reality" and do things that can go against physic laws,since it's not the real physical world. "No time travel. No parallel space. This is still Earth. Our world. The Earth has been around since more than 4 billion years of spinning. During the endless time, there's several species' eras. Global cooling is massive. Large eras of ice cover in the middle and high dimensions. Water condenses into ice. Atmospheric circulation and ocean currents all change accordingly. This era is dominated by white. This is Ice Age. " So they basically put themselves to cryogenic sleep in order to survive this age, wait until it gets warm enough. "FX, we open the forbidden door. Hope the new country to arrive. And we will revive. Have you ever seen a sci-fi movie? Emergency freeze in the devices. After many years, the device will turn off. The sleepers come out. And I am a living example." Basically she and those from the temple woke up first an she went inside the simulation because she wants people to wake up already and "enjoy the REAL life!". To do so they need to "shut down" the simulation from the inside (??).
I'm more and more inclined to believe that *THEORY*
The drama takes place inside a simulation that is been running after a new ice age and that the "monster" that end the whole "world" that is under the temple is actually a "button" that arrest the simulation and makes everyone wake up in their bodies that are being kept in cryogenic sleep. The people in the temple are the programmers that look after the simulation (and they remember the real life when they are inside of it).
It's not really a triangle. She loves the first lead , who loves her back and is friends with second lead (who is in love with her, but it's one sided). It has a cliffhanger ending, not really happy (at least not for all the characters or so it seems).
At the end, when pi talks about the soul, he said that if you copy a human mind into computer it will not occupy any space, but it's there. I think he said that because he did transfer Mama's mind into his servers, that's why at the end he said she could cry and that they are not divided by the screen anymore.
I've seen lots of sci-fi dramas and this is one of the best so far. Unfortunately Asian sci-fi series are usually mediocre, especially ones about AI robots that are basically just there for romance. This drama learned from novels and shows/movies like LOST, Resident Evil, Walking Dead, Maze Runner, Humans ect, so it may be not the most original show, but it still has something to offer in terms of sci-fi, horror, psychology, thriller and romance. I will recommend it even to my friends who usually don't watch Asian shows.
