Rumors said he will find you and plays yoyo next to you when you are still sleeping...

" Those with the same faces are stealing their counterparts's lives " I don't think it is about one must die for the other one to live : at least not literally.
I think it is about people fates and luck so one doppelganger is lucky when the other one is not lucky because one is stealing the other's luck.

For example Tae Eul is lucky : she had a good father, friends, co-workers, the job she wanted, her boyfriend is a king when Luna is alove, without friend nor co-workers, she is stealing to live and don't have someone to rely on.

Eun Sub is lucky : His parents didn't divorced and he got siblings when Jo Yeong grew up alone. Eun Sub knows how to express his emotions and isn't shy about it when Yeong seems to be workaholic and don't let much place for slice of life moments, new encounters or love even when he has opportunities.

Yi Gon saw perhaps his father's death but had a good childhood before that, he is rich and is the king + he finds the love of his life when his counterparts has an good for nothing father who was drinking with a depressed mother, was poor + ends up being killed by Yi Rim or kidnapped ? I don't know

Yi Rim has the luck of the devil when his other self was brain-dead and so on

Someone knows who is the actor who plays the mysterious kid with the yoyo ?

It is Eun Sub who is hurt in the preview >_< ! Baby Eun Sub is even more innocent that would be a crime to kill him off when he was remplacing Jo Young. But well with the bulletproof vest foreshadowing I don't think he wil die, for now....

I saw a lot of comments like what he is " handsome " and " rich " so it is normal for her to fall in love with him...
I really DON'T LIKE love triangle tropes because always it becomes frustrating especially when the woman or the man targeted isn't really clear about his/her feeling and choose finally in the last episodes...
I think the only love triangle I liked was in Eulachacha waikiki 1 between Dong Gu --> Yoon Ha <-- Hyun Joon because it was about funny situations, there were some bromance (like when they are trying to impress the girl but end ups together each time lol) too and the second lead wasn't clingy and when he knew Yoon Ha was in love with Dong Gu he didn't insist.

If there is a love triangle here I think it would be especially bothersome to me because I don't like much the main character and the fact there are alter egos I would not understand why they are just in love with Tae Eul. I feel like Shin Jae derserves better than that especially if he is the savior like I am thinking he is.

Yes Yi gon is kind of rude because he thinks he can do anything because he is the king, that is really scary. How he was always touching her without her approval or when he orders people around when they make a good job (Yes I am talking about Yeong, I don't find it funny when Yi Gon orders him like a robot. Yi gon seems just like an ungrateful brat, why they didn't make him more mature ?)

It is exactly how I imagine their inner thought...Like how ? I really hope Shin Jae wasn't really attracted by Tae eul but in fact by Luna. Like perhaps they were together in a past timeline or they are destined to be together too and when he sees her alter ego he was "remembering her ". When he described their relationship he was speaking about exemples who remind me alter ego (4-5 are numbers but not the same like alter egos) Because if they add a love triangle it will be very frustrating to see her choose a guy she met a few days ago instead of a guy she knows for years !

Lol your comment make me laught because not so long ago I posted something similar. With my brother we watched Vagabond and the cars were all from the same brand so we were saying out loud the brand name when we were seeing a car. At the end we were capable to shout the name before it even appeared on screen...This drama turn us into psychic

Yeah he seems two dimensional...

Exactly ! You were faster lol

Seem like we think the same haha ^^

About Tae Eul seeing Luna in her car I think it is because the two worlds lost their balance. Do you remember few episodes later when Eun Sub and Yeong felt what the other one was feeling ? It is because the more the door is crossed the more the two worls are messed up. Especially when the person who cross the portal interact with others. So yeah she sensed Luna existence for a short moment !

I think the third person who is travelling between the world is the second savior from the future (and to me it is likely that person is Luna or the second Luna if she exists).

I don't think Tae Eul was switched because Yi Rim didn't know about her identity until he got the I.D card. But why was he spying on her before getting this information ? He didn't even know about Luna either. I think either he was spying on her because she was close to Shin Jae or he is suspicious about anyone who get near Yi Gon... We saw there are moles in the palace and that Yi Rim take news about what Yi Gon is doing.

I am really excited to know the whole truth; it is great to share it with you, thanks a lot !

Yeah like you said episodes 7-8 were better because there were less talking and more actions. The side characters seem to finally get their moments or glory... The moment when Tae Eul wins the plush for Yi Gon was indeed great and sweet. I prefer short moments like this than 20 minutes of " I am in love with you " moments with bland gazes.

I think the prime minister will be on Yi Rim's side because she seems to care a lot about fame and her reputation. She has too much greed I think. Or perhaps Yi Rim will use the photos from her alter egos to threaten her, her reputation can lower because of that. Perhaps Yi Rim isn't just about deals but about blackmail. For example perhaps Shin Jae wasn't swapped because of a deal but because he was kidnapped against his real morther to be a spy.

" Shin-jae is getting way more interesting plot development than everybody else. He is a very interesting character even though he is not very emotional. He is a great example of well written character "

I really like him, he doesn't show his emotions but you can read in his eyes what are his feelings. He isn't a show-off and is a charismatic character with a deep past. I hope the next episodes will continue to talk about him. I have really the impression the sides characters are more weel-written than the two main characters... For example I don't find Yi Gon much likeable. For Tae Eul I am starting to liking her because of luna I think but Yi Gon I just find him too much self-centered...

Yeah they should totally " close " the reviews and votes and " open it " when all the drama is out.

Yeah I don't think The King The Eternal Monarch will take this way but that would be really interesting ^^ !

What makes me think that is I am 100% sure the savior was Shin Jae and at the end of episode 8 it was revealed he was originally from Corea. That would be interesting if that is the case ^^
I have the feeling too there are two Luna. The one we saw at episode 1 running (who I think is from the future ) and the one we saw in episodes 7-8 being released from jail. The kid seemed surprise of her "new" style and said she was quickly released. And when she said " I am curious too " she seemed to not talk about Tae Eul strangely but perhaps I am overreacting ^^'
Or perhaps she knows someting already, it was strange when she said to the kid "It is a world you don't need to know about " but again it is perhaps a way of talking about her shady life...
I have this idea too because I think Shin Jae is not really in love with Tae eul, he was attracted to her because she is the alter ego of Luna...I think there were some " foreshadowing " too when he described his relation with Tae Eul he used exemple of things originally the same but different like numbers (3-4 are numbers but not the same) and I saw it like a way of describing alter egos. I hope they will not insist on the " love triangle " too much and that shin jae will meet Luna soon.

Perhaps that will explain too the sudden love, perhaps they are still remembering some part of the past timelines...

I am really interested about it too and I prefer romance in the background like in life on mars for example that was sweet or no romance at all because I prefer friendships goal like inThe Guest. But the drama always throw us random romance moments :/ It is hard to not talk about it, it is really annoying actually. I feel like it is more a romance drama with historical/time travel/parallel world in the background than the other way around.

What I am curious for example : Are Yi Gon and Yi Rim the only one to see the time stops ? Or can the others who travel thorught the portal see it too ?? Why Yi Rim and Yi Gon have pain and mark on their bodies when there is thunder ? Is it because of the flute, they break the balance so they are paying the price ?

How was the original timeline before it was twisted in episode 1 ? What if Yi Rim succeed to actually take the flute thus the throne and killed his nephew in Corea in the " original " timeline ? He prepared for year to betray his step-brother so I think the first time he easily succeed. So What are the consequences ? Perhaps Yi Gon was erased from the two worlds, perhaps Shin Jae was not swapped and was still in Corea and thus he met Luna. So in fact he was attracted by Tae Eul because she is the alter ego of Luna. What if the saviors are still in the actual timeline for example I suspect there are two Luna, the one we saw at episode 1 and the one who was in prison, the kid said it was strange how she was release so fast and how her style changed. Please tell me what are your opinion

I feel the same. I am still waiting for good reasons about their sudden romance... Their moves seem really random too lol The king caught one of the traitor just because he wanted suddently to eat at a restaurant. They are just dating all the time when Yi rim is well prepared. I really feel like Shin Jae and Luna are the real "mastermind", I have the feeling they are the saviors like there were another timeline before this timeline where Yi Rim has succeed to become king during the event at the start of episode 1 and Luna-Shin Jae twisted the event in order to make Yi Gon the king...

The characters I am really missing are Dong Goo and Sol... I really feel like they tried to remplace Dong Goo by Wook Shik but it is not working for me. Dong Goo is one of my favorite character in waikiki 1 and he had an interesting personality :

He was like a ticky bomb, always blowing his anger out at the climax of the funny situations but he had also a soft side at the same time. To me he was the leader, he had authority over the group and was really scary + had obsessive behaviors sometimes but in a funny way. All the sides of his character was well done and gave him depth.

Sol's presence was a great advantage for waikiki 1 especially to see her reactions and she gave the characters a way for them to be more adult.

I think the characters were more distinguishable in the past season : when I think about Dong Goo : anger, Joon Ki: funny, Doo shik : Naive, Yoon Ah : Kindness,Seo jin : chewbacca and Soo Ah : pretentious but smart

Somehow the characters of waikiki 1 seemed deeper than waikiki 2.I think in waikiki 1 they were adults with childish behaviors when in waikiki 2 they seem like children trying to behave like adults...

I think the season 2 has a big lack of balance/timing. They tried non-stop to make you laught without spacing it.

edit : And yes I really feel like the writer for the S2 was expecting the same actors because the characters seem like bland copies of the old characters : Jung eun =dumpling=manly=chewbacca, Ki Bong = naive= idiot= Doo Shik, Woo Shik = sometimes blow out his anger = Dong Goo, Too Ri reminded me a bit of Soo Ah at first.

And a lot of situations were similar too : Jung Eun is in love with Joon Ki first but he didn't see her as a woman (same was between Seo Jin and Joon Ki or when Woo Shik confessed first to Soo Yeon but she rejected him because of personal reasons (Dong goo and Yoon Ah were the same ) or when Ki bong dates Soo Yeon but they hide it to Woo shik because he is her brother (Joon Ki and Seo Jin), When Ki bong broke Jun Ki's car and had nightmares about it (when Jun Ki broke Dong Goo's camera), ....

I have the feeling there are two Luna. The one from the first episode who the king was running after and the one who get release from prison. The Luna from episode 1 was from the future and the Luna from episode 7-8 is the actual Luna.

When said " I am curious too" I feel like she wasn't talking about Tae eul but about the other Luna because I think the Luna from the future make her goes in jail intentionaly to make a move and lead the king to the portal

And when the kid with the book saw her, he said " You already get release...Your style changed" that seemed strange

Same! I am really excited because there is alot of theories in my mind haha !! I can't wait for the next episode, I want to see Shin Jae in Corea...
