They built her up just to kill her off cementing PM on Lee Rim's side... I'm still incredibly pissed about that.
I only didn't expect it because they've shown PM to be pretty useless, I was theorizing that Koo Eun-A would take over and be much more proactive... With what they've done they are gonna have to find someway to make her useful in the next few episodes. None of Lee Rim's swaps have been beneficial to him so far.
So all these years LG thought tae eul saved him and this is the only fact he chose to love her?! I think that's…
No, he knew TE wasn't the savior to begin with. When meeting SJ he checked because he knew it was a guy.
As for his affections for TE, it isn't love, it's obsession. He's been staring at her pic for so long, curious about who she could actually be that he formed an ideal version of her. Despite a rocky first impression she was still the first person he met in an alternate universe, pair that with the excitement of finally meeting her and his dreams of her still aren't shattered. Also it doesn't matter how she treats him, because he see's her not as a person, but as an object or prize to be won. It's clear from how he treats her that he hardly listens to a word she says, choosing instead to 'win her over' through constant exposure and grand - but meaningless - gestures. He won't even tell her his true name until in the safety of his country where his name holds power. In short, LG is an A*hole. thank you for coming to my ted talk.
I'm 20 minutes in and so far so good... but that was the same with TKEM. So I'll give it a few eps before I recommend
I finished the first ep and nearly finished the second one. It does have a decent vain of comedy, and the characters are interesting thus far, but I don't think I'll continue for now. Right now I don't see the point, but I will probably watch this one slowly (maybe one ep per day) after school starts. I'll let you know if I completely drop it.
TBH I haven't seen a good supporting argument towards the 'intelligent complexities' of this show. In my opinion…
Thanks, never heard of that abbrieviation before.
but yeah when DOTS was coming out there were giant billboards of Song Joong Ki's character with this or that product that were more subtle than this show XD
Whenever I read the comments about a parallel world, time travel, saving your younger self etc. I cannot stop…
TBH I haven't seen a good supporting argument towards the 'intelligent complexities' of this show. In my opinion it's your standard time travel/alternate reality drama.... as written by someone who has never written sci-fi before and only skimmed other such projects.
The writer is known for her supernatural/fantasy dramas and a few slice of life. The one's I've seen from her always frustrate me cause the premise is good but the drama is like fast food. She's proven she *can* write compelling characters, but also shown she doesn't know how to work them into the plot after they've been built up. I haven't gotten to see Mister Sunshine yet, but after realizing she wrote it I'm really hesitant.
I see some people gravitating towards the PM's character. She's an interesting one but the way she's portrayed…
PM has not achieved anything all show. They took all that time actually building her character and wasted it.
2 eps ago I thought Koo Eun-ah was going to take her place and be truely terrifying, but now I'm pissed because all that build up of both versions of her was just to say that this one, who holds no real power outside her office, is siding with Lee Rim. So freaking what!? As I mentioned PM didn't accomplish anything important. She was little more than a nuisance and almost everything that happened would have happened without her. The only thing I can remember her accomplishing is getting a guy fired, but was that guy even important?
Does anyone wanna explain how it's even possible for him to save himself? In order for that to occur, he would…
Despite this drama's many issues I'm choosing to explain this away as 'when younger him cut the flute it ripped a whole in the fabric of space time' cause that's much more plausible than I think this drama will give us.
I really wish they hadn't acted like the savior plotline was some big secret and instead had focused on the getting from point A to point B in a more logical manner.
This is not meant as a negative comment just an observation. I don't like theorising too much (personal preference).…
My favorite part about theorizing and being right isn't the fact that I'm right, but the satisfaction from seeing a well made puzzle fall into place. Otherwise it's just predictable, and that's no fun.
Because it's badly done, so you don't understand quickly what happens.
They should have swapped the order, Noh's should have been first and it should have ended with PM's scar issue. There's not too much more they can do. This show was made for a Korean audience who would have caught the first comment about the lack of a Korean war. Despite that they threw it in there several times, wasting valuable time to make sure people would get this 'plot twist' without further explaining. I think the Korean audience all caught it, but it definitely didn't hold the impact it was supposed to.
I don't particularly agree with the picture idea, unless there was more weight to it. Lady Noh just asked if the war had ended, whereas it would be much more important if she did something like ask TE to find out what happened to a family member etc.. It would also add more emotional attachment to her character. I personally skipped all of her scenes on the rewatch because she's just a plot device.

btw, what are PPLs?

He'd probably do skip through though...
