That was awesome! The buildup to the kiss was great! And the writer is definitely spying on what they do in the Shadow. That's why the writer tried so hard to stop them from meeting under the tree.
Looks like Haru was the second male lead in the sageuk manhwa. I'm not sure whether Haru and Dan Oh were in love in Trumpet Creeper. How are they going to tie the two stories together? Haru and Dan Oh were in love in Trumpet Creeper, which went against the writer's will, so the writer ended Trumpet Creeper and created a new manhwa. But even here, Dan Oh falls in love with Haru, instead of with Baekyung. I'm guessing this is what is happening.
Just like how self-aware Juda is leaning towards Do Hwa instead of Namju.
I've been watching Kdrama for half a decade and I must say I've never seen a Kdrama that has such great female…
I've been watching Korean dramas for two decades and I've never seen a Kdrama that has such great female leads! Just saying xD What an awesome drama. Let's hope we'll see more stories of female empowerment, in Kdramaland too!!
I quite liked the ending, and it was kind of what I expected from this writer--not showing us everything, but basically giving us enough clues to put the pieces together. I'm not sure why some people think Jin-woo is dead, because my first impression after watching it is that he's alive and he's going to meet Hee-ju. He's stuck in that instant dungeon! Someone just needs to save him. If he was an NPC, like some people suggest, then his dead body should have appeared somewhere, because that's what happened for all the other people who died in real life. So I think he's not an NPC, and just stuck in the instant dungeon. Since Se-ju was also stuck and apparently didn't need water or food for an entire year (wish they could have made that part clearer), I guess it's the same for Jin-woo. So as long as someone levels up and saves him, he can get out. It's a happy ending! Also with all the potential fatal bugs that the game has, seriously they just decided to release it? Like without even giving some brief explanation on how they plan to deal with potential fatal bugs? But overall, I still really enjoyed this drama. It was a fun ride :)
What do you folks think about my explanation for the plot? Overall theory: The dying in game would have the same…
I definitely agree that this is plausible. The brain can definitely be manipulated to believe that it is dead through AR, and really shut down completely. I think the chilling thing about this drama is how close we are to this level of technology in reality. The problem right now, which still seems like a fantasy element (at least within the bounds of today's technology) is how the game can still manipulate the players without them putting on the lenses. If, say, the server gives out electronic signals like the way satellites work, then this is plausible, but like you mentioned, Jin Woo saw the game images even when he was in the US, out of range of the server. Hope they come up with a good explanation for this! Or at least some form of explanation :)
lul yeah that was me that wrote that XDI honestly think she is. From all the info we got so, especially from the…
That's a really cool theory. And it makes sense because why else would they introduce the detective lady's stepbrother at this point in the story? Can't wait to see how this plays out!
I read the first few chapters of the manga when it first came out, so I was pleasantly surprised to see this adaptation. It wasn't bad at all, and truly exceeded my expectations in shedding light on a very important theme that the manga brought up. Did anyone here finish the manga? Were there any differences between the drama and the manga?
The head director was a piece of shit. How could he sexually abuse Eun Ho? That piece of shit got what he deserved. But by killing him Eun Ho gets no release from all the trauma that was his childhood. Poor Eun Ho. It's no wonder his world view became so warped.
I don't think this is a spoiler, but I just saw the preview for the last episode and it's so clever how the writer is going to tie all the loose ends together in the last episode! And I just watched episode 15 and absolutely loved it~ Pacing, acting, editing, plot twists--still my favorite drama this season <3

Baekyung and Haru are both so beautiful

It's the only drama this season that I've been looking forward to every week. So sad that it's ending!
