They had to fit several years of plot into one episode, so it was understandable that it was a bit disjointed. It should even out a bit from now on. 😊

I've finally watched ep 14 fully, and seen the ep 15 trailer. I'm. not sure why so. many people seem utterly convinced that Yeon Woo is the murderer. I would still go for either the teacher of the girls' class, or one of the police...maybe even the chief. I'm also not completely convinced that Hae Joon's parents are who he thinks they are. We'll wait for the results of that blood test.

Is that baby even ML though? The timing roughly fits, but it's perfectly possible that more than one pregnant girl left the village that year.

The tea house lady said she loved the father of her baby. She didn't speak like someone who conceived the baby unwillingly.
Min Su couldn't have done one of the murders because he couldn't use his arms at the time, and he couldn't have killed the most recent victim/attempted to kill Soon Ae, because he was locked up at the police station. He's definitely a bad person, but not the killer.

Yes, people keep saying episode 14 revealed ML's dad to be the killer. I keep wondering if we're watching the same drama, or if I've missed something. The blood test was bothering me too. It's a case of Chekhov's gun. Why would they have done that test if it wasn't relevant to the plot.

I would recommend the Cdrama, Reset. One of thr best time travel/crime dramas I've watched. Really cleverly written and keeps you gripped despite being basically a time loop.

Well, blurry people do tend to seem suspicious! 😂 It's a testament to the writer's skill that they are still keeping everyone guessing and doubting, with only 2 episodes to go!

Exactly.

That would be a really unique twist! The murderer came back and killed himself. Could be tricky to prove though!

I was agreeing with you that my theory us probably. wrong, because she would have run away too early.

This does make sense.

It's mainly a mystery/thriller drama. The characters have been through so many traumatic events in just a few days that it would be odd if the scenes were suddenly full of pink roses and hearts, and if they suddenly focused on romance when they have so little time to catch the culprit, it would be very unrealistic. Also, they only met when they went back in time. As per the title, they are almost strangers. They're playing the romance part perfectly, in my opinion. Just the right amount of worry for each other, little smiles here and there, and some comforting hugs. I suspect though, that if we were shown scenes from the far future that ML saw - before his own death - we might see that these two were married.

If it is "ML's father", then K-drama logic dictates that he will turn out not to be his son after all, and maybe he was rescued by the principal as a baby and brought up as his grandson, with that "your mother abandoned you" story. I did wonder about whether the blood tests the police did would have a startling result, since we haven't heard yet what the result was. Perhaps it will show that there is no way the ML could possibly be related to his supposed family.

Yes, the timing of the running away is wrong.

But how did he batter himself to death? With a witness seeing him do it?

She can't be the actual killer. You saw in episode 12 that the build of the killer was quite muscular and he was capable of punching the boy with the glasses so hard that he died. Mi Sook is very thin, and although I have no doubt that she is mentally capable of the murders, physically it would be impossible. She may be involved - either as a mastermind or an accomplice. It's very suspicious that she was able to get the exact red rope to frame her brother.

She had one of the pink hairbands and the girl in the cinema seemed to have straight, not curly hair. She also wanted to run away and disappear. She only stayed in the village after ML had that talk with her about how badly it would affect her mother. In the original timeline she probably did run away.

All the comments speculating about whether the tea shop lady or Mi Sook is ML's mother... I'm not sure it's either of them. This writer likes to use distraction. I wondered for a fleeting moment whether his mum is actually Mi Sook's short-haired friend (Hae Kyeong?).

Yes, I wondered why he wasn't surprised by the flatscreen computers with bright white screens.

Yes, I can see what you mean. JH is going after TK, because hates him (irrationally in the beginning, but now he has an excuse). SJ hates YD, but wants TK and the company intact so she can swoop in with her irresistible charm and delightful personality (!) and marry him once she has vanquished YD. JH's determination to destroy TK will alarm her, and she'll try to warn someone, or will attempt to defend the comapny against him, but the mistrust everyone has for her will be her downfall. On the other hand, JH is so incompetent that she should just sit back and let him try. His cunning plans have not been met with huge success so far!
