ShortCircuit

It could be someone else because Lukwa also experienced the 4 minutes rewind and she doesn't have anything to do with the story except for that mention. Great, on the other hand, has NO reason to even know about her, so how come he's rewinding to a timeline (in his dying mind) that includes a stranger he never met and who happens to have experienced the exact same thing? Gah! if this becomes anything to do with life-after-death and religious-type of limbos-death-antechambers...

Tyme seems to remember things from Great's rewinds, Great seems to remember things from Tyme's timeline/real life. Great seemed to be the ML of the drama for the first half, then basically disappeared as they retconned those first four eps (and almost didn't show up in this one). You can't be certain which one is the actual reality timeline.

And the drama started off with Tyme being chased and killed. So IT COULD BE him, that's what they're implying.

TBH I am kind of getting disinterested at this point - the one thing I am still interested in is finding out who Lukwa is and what's her actual role in this.

I haven't seen the trailer, I wanted to be surprised by a scifi/thriller.

Great remembered having sex with Tyme, too.

Tyme got close to Great because he's the son of his parents and the parents are who Tyme is investigating (which BTW that childhood meeting thing didn't really need to be so overdrawn, LOL, it reminds me of kdramas where the leads ALWAYS already met as kids and then get back together when they grow up).

They spent 4 eps on Great's rewinds (with the clock moving closer to the end of the interval each time), and him investigating what's happening, and then it turns out none of it is real... then is it he's been dying for 4 minutes and seeing things he couldn't know before getting shot (like Tyme's friend investigating phenomena around the 4 minutes of rewind) OR is it Tyme's been dying (and he knows about the 4 mins limit and a lot of all the other included details), OR someone else (half the cast died this ep.)

That woman is still purposeless so far - maybe, indeed, SHE's the one dying and thinking about anything she hears around (maybe Tyme's friend is trying to wake her up telling her his thesis or something).

I hope they manage to end it well, anyway.

... And maybe get the leads to be actually together for a few important scenes in the last ep of the drama they're leading.

I seriously doubt it's a power. It's true that while the neurons are dying after the heart stops beating and sending oxyhemoglobin to feed the brain, they fire off at random, which makes people have all kinds of visions (all those persons who are revived and talk about seeing a tunnel of light or angels or whatever - those are the misfires of dying neurons.)

But they don't change anything in the real world. And neither does the time spent before consciousness is completely gone. They don't actually rewind, it's in their heads.

So that means it's either Tyme's rewind before death or Great's rewind before death BUT so many people died or are dying in this episode it could be anyone else.

Maybe it's Tonkla's 4 minutes. Or Lukwa is still in her rewind time and still dying.

RE the grandma - he called her. They couldn't know he would call, he could've just run there to see if she was alright (and the killer was already waiting for him, so he could have already been dead when big boss shot her).

Nah, they're trying for overdramatic and it's changing the flow of the story. (In an episode where one of the leads basically isn't present, so double hit). I really hope they manage to bring it to a satisfying end, it would be too bad to waste that first half.

He's been meddling for a long time, he set up with Nan for quite a while and it didn't happen overnight... If they were always on the radar, why did they let him do all his detective stuff and THEN go after the grandma - again, IN PERSON, who the heck does that?! He didn't even go after the one doing the meddling - Tyme - himself, he went to kill of an old woman, because why?! It makes no logical sense.

Not to mention that the stuff Tyme did dig up already did end on the news and with the police and that set all the rats running.

Why did the hidden big boss had to go shoot her in person, for the shock factor? That doesn't make sense, to be honest.

ETA TBH at this point I kind wish Tonkla remembered the big boss kicked his cat all those years back and comes to kill him, too.

She's talking to me about her obsession with step brothers. Don't mind her and she'll go away, all nutsos eventually do.

They're not even step bros, girl, get the heck off your high horse. And I thought YOU were addicted to Addicted, so I wonder who's dreaming of step bros after all.

Anyway, what the heck does that have to do with Bite Me being a total snoozefest NOBODY liked, and that the same person wrote this drama's script? I won't trust her to bring it to a safe end, but then that doesn't impede you from gushing all over it if you want. Grow the f up.

The first three-four eps were pretty good, particularly in cinematography and attention to the details, but now the train is almost off the tracks and you're up in arms because of what?!

I hope they DO manage to give it a satisfying (or at least an acceptable) ending, TBH, because I did like the first half of the drama. But that remains to be seen. (And no, I don't need your opinion, kthxbye).

Oh s*it she wrote Bite Me. *sigh*

... As if there wasn't a highly successful drama just a few years back called EXACTLY The Devil Judge. And dealing EXACTLY with getting judgements that are more fitting to the crime according to the law AND the public perception of it.

I get it - it's pre-run promos, but seriously, could you please find articles that aren't so hopelessly ignoring the big pink elephant in the freaking room?!

If Tyme is the first to die - that's the opening scene - it would follow HE is the one first reliving or trying to undo his life. If more than one person has the 4 minutes experience, would they actually change something or it's all in their heads as they die? In which case, why would the external world be influenced in any physical way?

That's what I mean when I say it's a mess. You can't be certain who exactly is experiencing the 4 minutes rewind, as they ALL are dying left and right and any one of them can be rewinding (only in their heads!) their lives.

I got the fact Tyme's parents were also mobsters too from the beginning - but why did it take 20 years to finish the family off? And particularly right now, as Great's family is also running away?! They have bigger problems to solve than go around IN PERSON to kill off someone's grandma just for the kicks.

The only one who is actually still interesting is the woman with the 4 minutes experience. She still hasn't had a real purpose - other than being a tad of a love interest for Tyme's friend.

They promised a 2nd season, it was officially in talks, I guess we'll have to wait a bit since LDW is on demand and filming other dramas now.

But obviously JJM was beaten up a lot, while everybody was focusing on JiAn, he went after Bale. AND he did come back alive, which means Bale didn't.

We'll probably learn that either Win told them who he told about Title (because he's a cop of because he got remorseful) or he already was under surveillance and they knew who he was seeing. (This makes sense when thinking the shooters were right next to him as soon as he got the USB drive).

I don't remember him finding Tonkla's prints - but maybe he told him expecting him to be sane and just grieving, not to go out and kill Title, which came as a surprise.

IDK, I'm grasping at straws here, the plot tried so hard to make it intricate that right now all the balls are in the air and ready to drop, and it's not certain what they meant to make as a story, exactly.

I hope they manage to find some logical thread, but I don't know, I'm not quite feeling it.

TBH, very sweet. 40-yr old virgin decides to kill himself on his 40th b-day because he's lonely, but he also wants not to die a virgin. So when he finds out about a gentlemen's club *cough* he tries his luck and to his immense surprise, people reply to his letters with pictures of their penises (it's a club thing, they're showing interest). But Wu XingZi is only interested in the pictures, UNTIL one day, when getting his mailed-in pics, he encounters a younger man who gets VERY interested (because WXZ looks a bit like that man's love interest).

That man is a general - not that WXZ cares very much, hahaha~ and he generously helps WXZ out of his predicament. And then grows a little attached, then very much attached then too darn much attached - stopping WXZ from getting his precious mailed-in pics!! But one day the general has to go back to his post... but also takes the bemused WXZ with him!

This is one hilarious story - WXZ is extremely certain Guan ShanJin (the ML) cannot be interested in him since he's older and not a great catch, and GSJ is getting more and more frustrated about how WXZ is like a slippery eel and doesn't let himself be caught hahaha~ There are bits of more serious and painful heartbreaking story, but overall, it's an extremely hilarious tale that includes WAY TOO MUCH SMUT (did I say that?! I take it back LOL) of fetish variety. But as I said, you can skip all those parts. Or try to see what they're about (it's not TOO extreme). And a LOT of dick pics LOL.

The TL is also very good, It's very diverting, try it on :D

Win told him who the killer was, and the killer ends up dead. It's not rocket science to realise who killed Title, so they go to Tonkla's house. But Tonkla's already gone cuckoo, chasing a dead cat's spirit, so he's away...

Where the heck did the smiling mobster/killer come from? And how and why did they have to wipe out Tyme's whole family, including him, over twenty years or so?

The drama started with Tyme being chased and killed and we've gone round back to it - so is it actually him reliving 4 mins of his whole life? Why did we go through Great's part? Or is it all Tonkla's cat's lives? :D

I'm kind of not looking forward to the last ep. Everybody is either dead, or it's all in someone's imagination, in which case none of it matters since it's not actually real...

This is turning into a complete 'nother mess. Who's 4 minutes is it this time? And if everything isn't really fixable and we get a philosophical take on how what's done is done... what's the actual purpose of the plot?

Shinigami working overtime this ep.

The fetish parts in YGM! are safely marked by the translator just so you can skip them, and they all come with warnings, you can just jump over them if they give you the ick LOL.

HEA is obviously Happy Ever After LOL. The one with the fetishes is You've Got Mail! (and if you want to, I'll write you another super long comment about it, too, LOL, I love that story a lot!)

So, the story goes like this: the grassland people (Mongol tribes) manage to sack a few border provinces that the ML's father was supposed to keep safe. The whole family, the whole ARMY, Shen ZeChuan - LanZhou - 's foster brother - all of them die. Only SZC (only survivor of the lost battle) is brought back to the capital to be punished for his father's sins.

In comes Xiao ChiYe - Ce'An -, a son of the general who now has to go and sacrifice his own clan's men and army to get back the lost provinces and then keep them against the hordes, with dwindling supplies and few and getting even fewer men... A suicide mission. That makes XCY extremely aggravated with anything having to do with SZC, in part because that also means he's now an unofficial hostage for his father's behaviour in the Imperial Court.

Their first meeting is the first time XCY tries to kill SZC directly.

SZC escapes death through machinations of people behind the scenes but is exiled to a temple's domain and there he grows up for a few years (he's 15 when it starts, XCY not much older) getting taught by one of the Imperial Perceptors of old, and beginning his own calculations to get back at everyone he took offense against (he's quite the vicious little viper, our LanZhou). Eventually, when almost all grown up, SZC and XCY meet again. Slowly, while trying to kill each other or make the other one lose more, they grow close enough for XCY to get increasingly obsessed with SZC and then they FINALLY start to work together and escape the court (though a lot of things happen before that) to get to border and help Ce'An's family and also - maybe - conquer the Empire from the outside towards the centre.

I can't begin to tell you how smooth these characters feel like. SZC is a paragon of sensuality and XCY is mesmerised (me too, LOL). He's a hot-and-cold blackheart who doesn't let ANYone in, except - slowly and against his will, Ce'An. Ce'An is the paragon of virtue (except smart and not stupidly self-sacrificing heroical), and boy do they actually grow up throughout the story! I think I'm just a bit in love with SZC, hahaha~

So yeah, if you want epic, sensual, undying soulmates who are not EVER shy (their bodyguards are treated to all their... doings, because XCY doesn't care and SZC doesn't mind either if anyone knows, LOL), tragedy and romance and revenge, you'll love this story.

I read the fan TL myself - many thanks to the translators, this was a very good TL, smooth as wine, just as the title of the novel. I've got the first volume of the English official TL and it has the most beautiful illustrations (they do that in the SSE danmei TLs), haven't checked the TL yet, haha, I'm used to the fan TL :D

I can't really praise this enough. These men are true enemies-to-lovers and they feel real. (A lot more real than any other danmei charas I've read about, at least in xianxia and wuxia stories :) )

This is absolutely the first Thai drama where the leads are two cute guys where I don't really root for them to get together but I'm hoping the GIRLS get to become an item, LOL.

Go, PangPang and Kan!! :D

I have no idea what he's singing about, but this is the one song at the end of ep 5 that really hooked me into the OST.... This is going on my playlist.

QJJ (fan TL title is Bring in the Wine) is unashamedly in the open about the ML and MC being in (passionate) love with each other, throughout the story. No wishy-washy obliviousness about it from either of them, and they're even quite proud to display it for everyone to see (and do some repeat performances in case anyone was left doubting, LOL).

I wouldn't say ~better~ when comparing danmei novels - but different in a very good way, oh yes.

I think the fan TL (which is AWESOME) is still around somewhere, if you want to give it a try. It's true enemies-to-lovers, and HEA (I mean - danmei, 99% chances of a HEA anyway LOL). It's also wuxia-only, no fantasy elements. But the most scorching danmei I've read yet (and I've read a lot the past few years).

(Here's making a very small exception for scorch levels for You've Got Mail! because THAT one is 1-chip-challenge level of hot, LOL, but includes so much fetish scenes, it's unsafe anyway hahaha~)
