ShortCircuit

I am beginning to hate-love NaGyeom and her wish to see the world burn LOL. If she can't have JeongWoo, then everybody needs to suffer along, hahaha~

So, she snitches on the gang to BoYeong's deranged father who will go deliver some justice in case the chief finagles them out of jail.

But at least NSC is consistent with his approach to policing - "I don't care about the ups and downs in your life, you rapist scum!" Tell him, NSC!! Short and to the object, LOL. SBY also had a family and ups and downs (lots of downs), what did she do to deserve what they did to her? And she was their freaking FRIEND!

... Then again look at what they did to JeongWoo, who was also their friend. Or at least he thought they were his friends, but they were leeches, the lot of them. Including GoenOh, wretchedly coward til the end - he could've at LEAST told the truth before ending everything. He was courageous enough to do that, but not to help his friend?!

And in trying to cover it all up everybody seems to have forgotten SuOh also saw what happened, even if he's not able to tell it directly. It's not as easy to cover up any more as it was, when people who are not in are looking at the evidence now...

... Ah, I seriously should've waited to binge it.

With friends like these, who needs enemies...

And he's hurt again #saveGJW

Dammit, I should've waited to binge it. This is getting addictive.

Drama, novel, donghua (+MDZS Q), audio drama, manhua. (Sorry manhua fans, donghua characters look better, including the chibis LOL).

+all the FMVs on YT. They will help with the withdrawal symptoms when you get there :D

1-2, 33-50 is the present timeline. 3-33 is the past timeline and it's one huge but continuous block. That's just how it is.

There's still DaEun and NaGyeom's parts, and the people involved are even more powerful and desperate than the Chief of the police. Also, everyone else BUT NSC and Ha Seol are still very much against the truth coming out.

He's a druggie and a drunk, already forbidden to leave the country because of his drug use accusations. His testimony alone isn't enough because it can be easily discredited.

It's not based on SK society, it's straight out from the book and the book is about conspiracies to cover murders and land thefts and money exchanges in a German village. This is very nicely adapted so far, but the original is definitely not about (or specific to) SK.

Just goes to show nobody has a monopoly on corruption, either political, financial or moral.

He just got a concussion, he was talking out of frustration. The second he saw the book and what was inside it he went straight back to SangCheol, LOL, he already is aware there's no one else in the village whom he can trust BUT the outsiders.

I don't think he's pathetic at all, he's fighting the whole village from the bottom of the pile upwards and against everyone with a hint of power there. So far there is no proof he didn't do it, nobody will listen to him without proof - even when he found the skeleton, everybody assumed he put her there and returned to the scene of the crime (NSC included).

But threads will start unravelling soon.

IMHO GJW is one tough bastard, to be so freaking good and naive when they put him in prison, to survive that and to come out swinging... it takes a lot of mental power.

The best and most complex part though is Lee GaSub's - I totally buy it they are different persons, and their personalities come through perfectly. And I kind of think I like GeunOh a lot - he's a coward who knows he's a coward, and STILL he does the right thing, even if always too late.

While the other two are just scum who blame the victim for becoming victim and don't like it at all when the victim is fighting back.

I wonder if either of them will come clean with NaGyeom's role in BoYeoung's death. I don't remember if the twin was a part of that - SuOh saw something but he's unable to tell except for paintings...

And FINALLY we're getting to DaEun's death and the greater conspiracy.

At this point, I just want to take JeongWoo away and let him heal. Most abused character in a currently airing drama...

Best episode yet. Wow. I must watch more of Byun YoHan's dramas, he's a great actor. I'm loving every scene he is in - the character helps, but still, BYH can emote like nobody's business, and that's pretty rare lately in kdrama.

SangCheol finally decided to get out of his manic slump and go detecting - he's on GJW's side completely now and it's a pleasure to watch them spark back and forth.

Yes, this is what I'm coming back here week after week for. I have a good feeling about it.

I guess I might be in a blue mood right now, but all I'm seeing is My Country Joseon style, in movie-format, maybe with some extra violent scenes on top.

Please use a spoiler tag, the fans will flame us for anything they consider a spoiler.

My approach is I'm losing interest the more this is discussed. I am pretty attention-oriented and I don't need to be spoon-fed details of any plot, this drama isn't anything special in that manner, and TBH, it's tiresome to have to try and find alternative explanations for anything that doesn't really work in the plot - so far. I am ready to be amazed by a great and logical ending to all this.

This is coming from someone who is very much into scifi/fan and loves thrillers, who has watched plenty of dramas and movies with complicated plots, who has read quite a lot of novels in the same genres (and others), so what I'm saying - I am not a novice. Frills don't impress me much if they don't make sense.

And I'm starting to see a lot of frills the more people are trying to explain what doesn't really make sense or is unnecessarily made obscure just for the sake of it.

I'll just wait and see how well they round it up - hopefully it'll be good and satisfying. I'll just tone down my expectations (since the first half was genuinely good.)

Please don't make this about me.

The killer would have done this, the killer would have done that - the simplest thing is that they made it overconvoluted because they wanted it to be even more "shocking" and it doesn't land well. That's just that.

Not that I really care, TBH. The more people argue in favour of how good this drama is and try to give examples, the more the lack of attention of details comes through. I'd rather just wait and see if they manage a good ending, LOL.

Yeah, the production team tried to make it a bit artsy and convoluted (and managed it for a while) but now it's way too convoluted and I don't trust the writer to bring it down safely.

If I had read about her previous works I'd have lowered my expectations, TBH. Now I'll just... wait it out.

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).
