Yes, their childhood! I've been posting about this for weeks - the title sequence and YS' dream are clear. Not sure if they were close friends or mere acquaintances. He remembers her but she doesn't remember him. He was an orphan, she had a family. Maybe Mom the Painter visited the orphanage and. . . . .? I think the bright painting in MH's condo (the ONLY splash of color) was done by YS's mom. But . . .there were two people who were plunged into the water - and a third dove in. So, I'm guessing MH saved her, but perhaps her dad didn't make it?

They didn't simply get their special abilities at the same time. Their abilities are connected to each other (her kiss "cures" his illness; he is specially tuned into her more than others).

Okay, bar owner was my guess as well. He has same last name as YS Mom and he really listened intently whenever YS was talking to her mom. So. . .some sort of connection. I wonder if he was somehow involved in the "car accident" that YS doesn't remember. Is he worried that YS will start to remember what happened back then? Why did he steal the photo of YS and her dad? So many mysteries.

I am ready for happy scenes of YS and MH as children! Hopefully we get some in Ep. 9 & 10.

You believe Lee Pil Yo is the intruder??? His eyes looked older to me.

The title sequence and YS' dream (Scene 1 of Ep. 1) make it clear - YS and MH were acquainted as children. They both developed their "powers" when they were children/tweens - I think it was the same event. well, perhaps I should say I am HOPING their powers/sensitivity occurred as the result of a shared event.

Well, yesterday (before 7&8) I posted my thoughts in the "Recent Discussion" category above and I labeled it "SPOILERS" - if you don't mind, that would be a great location to provide the info so that it doesn't fall way below in this comment thread.

It's getting out of hand for me as well. Fortunately, our "family" already had Netflix and Disney+, so my only new investment is VPN and Viki Plus.

The FF button might be your friend. ?? Lots of flashbacks/backstory that helps explain some of the current story.

I don't have time (or desire) to read the manhwa, but is the childhood trauma (probably the car accident) in the webtoon? Their shared childhood experience is the part I'm looking forward to the most - just wondering if it's based on the webtoon or not.

You're right - Ji-young is the same one-dimensional character as in Ep. 1, if not worse. Except for the two leads, all other characters seem to be stuck in whatever 2 sentence "character description" that the writers originally drafted. Ji-young - famous, wealthy actress with a loving father - how did she turn out this way? We will probably never know.

There wasn't much comedy, but at least watch the dinner scene early in episode - -very funny. Me? I'm here for the childhood scenes - lots of background story in Ep. 7 and 8.

LELK's black humor might be a bit too black for m e. But since it's on Netflix and Eng Sub is easy to access, I'll take a look. Cafe Minamdang looks more promising to me. Thanks for recommendations.

Mr. Queen has been on my Watchlist for a long time because you recommended, but I'm not a big fan of " soul possession" (which is one reason I'm not sure about Alchemy), especially a male possessing a female body. That wasn't an issue with FNOS - the ghosts had their own individual personalities and back stories. I've been seeing more on Alchemy. A 5 minute preview was released yesterday and there seems to be a bit more logic to the overall story, plus - three couples (one mature), visually stunning and apparently plenty of comedic moments. Plus Netflix - easy to access Eng Sub.

I read some of the comments and was about to turn away but then I read bloomingtide's comments from awhile ago and if she says it turns out good, then it's worth a try. Put it on my watchlist.. Thanks for recommendation.

I think it's usually released on Friday/Saturday (depending upon where you live)

Well, she serves a purpose, just as Pil Yo does - but neither character is admirable and both are obsessive/possessive.

Well, we now know the father's name: Hong Sung joon

Are we supposed to believe that all of the similar surnames are coincidence? I realize the "Kim" is a common Korean name - which is one reason you don't see it that often in a Kdrama.

KIM Sa Ra (YS Mother)
KIM Hae Jin (bar owner)
KIM Ro Ma (Planning Team 1 intern who takes lots of phone videos). Anyone else notice that his name (as the speaker) shows up lot in the subs? I think there's a connection somewhere.
KIM Min Hee (Kim Mi So's character)

For once, I'm not going to immediately re-watch the episodes. But very happy to see the childhood flashbacks and further confirmation that YS and MH had a connection as children.

It was released on Disney+ (Asia) at 4:00 pm KST. In a few hours, it will be available on "illegal" sites.

At one point, YS was at the studio and I think the contract was in a batch of her papers? Ji Young knows they are dating - but she really plays dirty in Ep. 8.

Ep. 8 ReCap
Ep. 7 was lots of flashbacks by YS and MH (including childhood memories). Also flashback with PY.
Ep. 8 – PY explains that he has always “known” about YS ability to see the future.
The team starting to put together the Mopix ad. Trip to Jeju island planned.
PY takes YS to meet the woman who had the baby. YS now questions how she has mis-used her power.
She Talks with bartender – yeah, he’s suspicious.
Ji Young takes MH’s phone and answers it when YS calls; JY lies and claims MH told her about YS special powers. She also deletes the call record. Okay, now this show is entering standard trope territory – a bit disappointing.
A video of PY and YS circulates on the web.
Everyone’s at Jeju Island to film the commercial. PY continues to push YS to go on more dates.
I FF through some stuff, but at the end Ji Young argues w/MH about YS and she gives him a big smacking kiss – just as YS walks up. He immediately gets a excrutiating headache – YS says she wants to discontinue relationship. and walks away. MH is crippled in pain. (this is VERY short description of a good 5 minutes of dialogue)
MH is eventually is outside searching for her sensing that she is in danger; someone w/face mask is obviously stalking her – first in a car and then takes out a bottle (chloroform?).
MH is running toward her, footsteps approaching and she turns around – and that’s THE END of EP 8

Ep. 8 brief Recap below (sorry, it's late at night for me). JoannaLoana - I at least FF to the end to describe the cliffhanger.
