In this episode there are a lot of clues pointing to ML's dad being the serial killer : how he did not report the suspicious things to the police (ok this one it is perhaps he inconsciously feel the ML is familiar to him), creepy vibes and how the FL spoke about her nightmares where ML does not exist... I really hope it is not ML's father the killer that would be too sad...

If it is him : did he come back earlier from his trip and pretended otherwise in front of his father ? Why, in the present, the FL's mother recognized him ? Does FL's mom knows him somehow ??

I think it is one of the dumbest end of an episode I have ever see ...Why did he kept the killer's message in his pocket ? Put so much blood on his hands ?? Why the cop is useless and annoying until the end ???

I feel the same because I saw Kim Dong wook playing in other Kdramas before and I was expecting top notch acting from him but it is not the case... I am a fan of his since The Guest but here his character feel plain : just the "nice" guy without much depht, I think his best roles are when he plays a sad /traumatised character, you can feel his sadness. Here he seems bored to play this character, It feels like he is just telling his lines and that is it...About the FL she is most of the time is overeacting, I had a hard time in first episodes when she was following her mom everywhere always calling her "mom".

Kim Dong Wook is also playing in "Delightfully Deceitful "right now, I started it yesterday and he is much better in this kdrama.

Only watched episode 1 and there is a big potential, I really love how the characters are like "don't judge by their look" ! It was so relatable when the ML buy different drinks because he does not know what she likes... He is empathetic and too anxious to ask what she wants. I think the psychatrist is right to warn him to not hang out with some sort of people but it is wrong to restrain his emotions that much, he must find the good balance. It is like feeling everything or nothing so I can udnerstand his character.

I also like how the FL is portrayed, not the weak for once and she is actually smart. Make me think of Flower of Evil's ML.

It is like in horror stories where the characters decide to split up...

I know it seems like I am making excusses for Ko Mi Sook's behaviors but she really has a shitty life between her parents who physically and mentally abuse her (destroying her furnitures, hitting her and insulting her) and she was raped by her own brother (perhaps multiple times and the mother know but let her in her misery)...

I really want the ML's father in 80s to know he is from the future ! Nice and sweet episode, at last FL's mother stand for herself !

I think ML's mother was also a victim of the serial killer and the father/grandfather made up the story about how she left ?

I am a bit scared about the end because it is named "My perfect stranger" so perhaps in the end their memories together will vanish because they changed the past. Then they will meet again and feel like they know each other without really remembering why...

I am 10000 % sure the ML's father will see "by accident" the photo of him and ML and found out ML is his son... Also it is obvious the father is the most likely to be the inventor of the time machine.

Yes the story with the mom looking for her daughter made me feel so bad too. The last two episodes are overall really sad ! I love that the MC read several times the letter and said to the bully girl her mother would have read it more than thousand of time and that would break her heart...

Yes a shame the time travelling topic is not developed enough but it is not a surprised often the time travelling topic stays in the background/ is just here to set the story in most of the Kdramas I watched. Also I feel like the serial killer is lazy so far only the mother ( in the future) the teacher, and the sister died...And it kinda seemed rushed because the teacher and the sister died the same night ? I have not this feeling that the characters are really in danger, I don't know how to put it.

I want to watch today's episode but the comments make me worried so I think I will watch it tomorrow with the second episode... I just don't want to ruin my mood.

Proof this is a great drama when I see so much comments about theories, everyone seem suspicious !

" Why did the director have to show her perspective? " You have a very good point here, that would be super interesting if the café's owner is more important than I thought (a complice or another time traveller !).

Yes, about the uncle, there are too much evidences, he is too obvious to be the true culprit but at the same time I can't picture anyone else because of how the FL's mother reacted... She seemed really shocked, said something like "you tricked us all this time" . But at the same time I want a twist more subtle, that would be interesting to have woman as the killer for once !

Yeah I saw a lot of theories about the café owner being the killer/or accomplice and I really don't think that is the case. It is just another misdirection to make every characters being suspicious. For example perhaps she was not at the teahouse the night where the teacher argued with someone because of the "butterfly effect". The proof is the glasse man being there this night when he was not supposed to be here (same perhaps for FL's father because I think it was the uncle in the original timeline who met the teacher). Then that can explain why café owner's whereabouts changed !

However I don't think she is a time traveller. She talked about a date because they are from opposite sex , late at night, asking for a meal. I had a light doubt when she gave them soy sauce and the FL said something like "by the way, did people in this time dip the bread in soy sauce ?"Then I thought that it is perhaps a "thing" of the future where people dip the bread in soys, and thus meaning the café's owner knew about the future. But when she takes the tray away she said they were weird to dip the bread in soy sauce ? (If someone can explain to me about this soy sauce moment that would be nice because I don't understand the purpose of the soy sauce if you can't drip anything in it...)

I know it seems too obvious to be true but I think the uncle is the killer that would really explain the FL's mother murder...She seemed to recognized her murderer so it is someone close to her (can't be FL's father for the sake of FL to be alive with a happy mom like she wants and can't be the writer because she does not use her own hands to kill someone)

Or what if the uncle is indeed mentally ill but sometimes gain lucidity ? Also there was a scene where he was ripping apart books and perhaps it triggered him. I also wonder if the FL's mother knows the writer stole her first writting ? What if when the uncle ripped apart the books she recognized her book and she confronted the writer and thus ending up like that after all those years ?

Would be a good twist but I just think the ML behaves like this toward FL because it is his personality like said in the details "He is calm and straightforward as a journalist and kind in his personal life". In my opinion he did not see her in his future, he cares because she is becoming someone special to him, I see it more like a light/slow romance.

Yes like the famous question : egg or chicken first ? Like you said he created the car but it is because he will fix it that he will know how to create it.

What I think for now :

2. The newspaper ended up on the ground when ML saved the bully girl (you can see something black and white falling from his back pocket of his trouser just for a second). The plan showing the newspaper on the ground is a bit weird so it feels like it was already there.

1.Either it was left it there just for the sake of " storytelling" (like "oh look the future changed ! without saying it) or either to be a twist later on because someone from the past find out about the time travellers ?

4. I have doubts about the glasses man being aware of the time travelling because of something he said, it was "it ended up happening..." about the teacher death. English is not my mothertongue so perhaps it is nothing but to me it seems like he knew already about her death ? Like "We tried to prevent it but it still happened". Or perhaps it is a way of speaking in Korean ?

I wonder if young Go Mi Sook is not aware too ? She said to FL "So it is you" like she recognized her from somewhere.

5. I bet on the ML's father to be the inventor of the car...He his "super smart" with his Rubik Cube. I am sure he will recognized his son and help him I guess ?

I don't remember where but someone guessed the glasses man was also a time traveler and now it is confirmed because he said "It ended up happening" about the death of the teacher ! So he knew she was a future victim of a serial killer...That is how I understand it.

I watched until episode 4 and I am dropping it because I just can't stand the mother anymore (a shame because other characters are good)... I thought the mother would become nicer after her son's accident but it is not really the case, one time she is sweet with him and a few second later she will hit him/let him starve/cry out loud at him (Even when the guy is only seven years old mentally and forgot his corrupt past) like wtf ?? I thought this drama would show the mother change but it is not really the case. to me she does not deserve her son, like I said in another comment she is abusing him (especially mentally).

The" writers" depict her a bit like a lunatic, for example she apologized to her son in order to make him eat and then a moment later she does not feed him and let him starve because of course it is the ONLY way to make him move again !!! Like yes it is not like giving him love and time would be enough ?

I love her confidence ! Good drama if you want something heartwarming to watch
