I mean - why even mention the absent/disappearing driver if it doesn't mean anything, right?🤣🤣🤣

I will admit that I have a soft spot for the actor Cho Han-gyeol. In the recent mess called "My Youth", he played the teenager Kim Seok Ju. The adult version was played by one of my very favorite actors, Seo Ji-hoon. His handful of scenes with younger 2FL were intriguing, but alas the writer chose to focus 80% of the drama on the main couple. He's a great actor - but that doesn't mean that his character has a future with a hard-driver FL.

This is silly of me, but I actually hope that Nora is NOT the Chairman's daughter because I think Albert and Nora (with their USA upbringing) are cute as hell together. I know - aunt/nephew - but they are cute together.

Because of schedule (Super Bowl!), I FF thru quite a bit of Ep. 8 but did I understand that Ex-CEO's driver disappeared at the same time as the accident? If I heard correctly, that's a pretty big red flag that ex-CEO survived. Or, is there more? I hope to re-watch later today.

Totally agree and one reason I'm rather cool about the show is that she is flirting with him (and Mr. Lee) to use them for her goals - specifically, vindication for herself. Many people might get burned by her obsession.

Sin Jeong-woo knows she is in danger, is protecting her and in the end may save her. Albert doesn't have a clue.

Was he really that awful? If I understood their latest argument, she blew the whistle but because of that it was her boss that took the fall and committed suicide.

Bingo!

I watched the Ep. 15 preview in super slow-mo and there was a nano-second of Se-hui in a conservative navy blue dress/blouse. The only other time she has worn navy blue was when she testified against. Han-young.

History is repeating itself but much earlier than the original time-frame. (Jang Tae-sik finally imprisoned; HY potentially framed for murder?) and I wouldn't be surprised if Se-hui is ordered to testify against LHY. She may be his ultimate savior - that would be a great ending IMO.

This is one of my Top 10 kdramas - it's fast-paced (after the necessary slow introduction), with solid character development and entertaining plot twists.

The director stated this is a story in 3 chapters: Ep. 1-2 - the future [2035] - before he returns/regresses - the future is mildly dystopian and the villains are on steroids. Ep. 3-5 after the return, when he was active in Chungnam - characters are introduced and Han-young begins to rectify early mistakes. Ep. 6-finale - the last big game when Han-young returns to Seoul. Han-young "is a person who has previewed the game strategy book, but hasn't seen a way to attack the main villain."

The main plot is pretty easy to follow, but it has not been sanitized for Netflix-type viewers and there are many sub-plots/undercurrents that are a bit difficult to understand if you are the type of viewer who simply wants to binge and not re-watch a scene.

False testimony is bad. So is taking bribes. She may have "lied" about the money extorted from the victim, but in reality he was fixing trials and taking money for it. Meanwhile SHE was paying for his father's luxurious nursing home. His "crimes" were much worse than simple perjury.

You might be interested in this article. It's an interview with the Director and explains how they adapted the webtoon into a drama.

I'm also enjoying the drama and wish there was just a leeeetle bit more character development. There was an overabundance of scenes with his best friend and FL prosecutor, but we know very little about the reporter, the 2nd prosecutor or Yoo se-hui's childhood/formative years - we're just left with adult versions.

But overall - well paced, constant twists and turns and gradual character changes for both Han-young and Se-hui are the best.

Usually 1 hour after the episode finished airing in Korea.

Thanks - I missed the part about Kang sin-jin manipulating from afar.

How did Han-young know that Jin-ah was in danger? From his past life or simply adding 2+2. (And. . . . I think Prosecutor Park Cheol U’s feelings for Jin-ah is precious).

Who killed Attorney Beum, who ORDERED his death and WHY? If the answer is – viewer doesn’t know, then fine. But he was – apparently – cooperating with the prosecutors, but someone was prepared to kill him? If I missed something during my FF, please help explain.

Ep. 13 preview: Who is the apparent “dead” person in the morgue. From my quick glance it possibly looked like Han-young??? But someone else?

TIA

I watched early in morning and needed to FF thru before appt (but definitely watched all scenes with Se-hui😊😊😊). And I definitely FF thru violence. Questions below under spoiler tag - any answers welcome.

"I started this to see it to the end anyway" (from ep. 13 preview)

A couple of days ago, I said that Han-young is acting like he doesn't think he has a future. He's "on probation". Doesn't know "how much time he has left." He's been careful to no get too close to any of his team or Se-hui because although he's willing to die again, he doesn't want anyone else to get hurt simply because he's on a potential suicide mission.

But I don't want to see Kang Sin-jin die in some sort of bloody fight with Han-young. I want to see him in trial, with all of his murderous actions fully exposed for the world.

It's a roller coaster with twists and turns - not easy to keep up. But it's one of my favorite dramas ever.

He was the mastermind villain in 2035. But when Han-young regressed, the Haneul law firm was only mildly corrupt and I read somewhere (the character description??) that they were big because they billed their clients for wasteful hours.

I'm going to add a post-script and this is pure speculation, but I think Se-hui is going to be in danger and Han-young finally faces the fact that he has grown to care for her. It would be classic and very, very satisfying. 😊

Pre-release time! If you love Se-hui and Han-young, you will love this one. It's clear than Han-young can no longer pretend to be cool and aloof with Se-hui. He's actually cuter than she is as he relaxes more with her than with anyone else.

The auto translate is bad for both Korean and English, but this is the overall scene. They are eating (again 😊) and Se-hui (I think?) wants to help him again, talking about how she helped previously. He says he already paid that debt with dinner with the parents. And she is REALLY unhappy that he is calling her MS Yoo Se-hui (formal). Discussion moves to Jang Tae-shik and he tells her to stay away - Jang - and his father - are going to lose everything.

I'm glad the writer is finally letting the viewer know that they are end-game together. First dinner w/the rents (where se-hui charmed their pants off) and now their cute little dinner battles. All THIS viewer asks is that it not be a 30 second rushed end.

I'm thinking something different - she's going to be part of Kang Shin-jin's downfall and it will have something to do with the serial killer who slinks around the restaurant. There must be some reason for showing the killer at that point - it wasn't planned by Shin-jin.
