Just started watching this, so only four episodes in, also trying to give it a fair chance and not compare but…
Philippine productions rarely do OTT. So either wait for someone to pirate it, or wait for them to release it for free via their official YouTube channels (which usually takes a year or so before they give it away for free).
It is also rare for Filipinos to pirate it properly (there are, but rare and few), because we're serious about anti-piracy. So, usually, they wait for the show to appear in the International Filipino-only channels, and non-Philippine citizens (Filipino by blood or not) are the ones who pirate it.
If I were SuJi, I'll stop supporting the family and see how far the witch can go. She was already complaining about their new small house, let's see what she'll do once they have to live on the streets.
Witches like that need a very hard lesson. If they still don't learn, then you know they are a lost cause, and just save your energy.
I really liked how they set up the ending of episode 8 with IS talking to LYJ (her best friend) and how some events…
In real-life scientific theory of time travel, everything that should happen already happened. So, for example, if someone was changing time, it actually already happened.
This means that, no matter how many times we change history, things will still happen because they already happened. We either just delayed it, or worst, accelerated it.
In fictional time travel, it is a very common trope called “fixed time”. A “fixed time” is a concept or fictional trope that there are certain events in time that will happen no matter what you do. You can change and prevent it 100%, but it will have a major repercussion. So, to prevent time from unravelling and destroying the universe, the universe will ensure that an event is 100% fixed in time. It will happen no matter what, it is the only way, there's no avoiding it.
If anything, I think they're going that route as well. Things will happen no matter what. The question is, how can you make an event happen without the person you love dying. How can you ensure that things still happen to avoid the repercussions of preventing it, and at the same time, save the person you love.
The FL needs to find a way to save the ML without preventing that fixed point in time. The ML needs to be attacked, that is the fixed time. Because maybe, through that attack, things will change for celebrities; and/or, things will change for the suspect and how they're handled by the law and the police.
Because in a future after this fixed point in time, things got better. And if the attack doesn't happen, more innocent people will suffer, and die. Thus, this must happen. The FL must find a way to ensure the ML survives.
That means, the FL will probably time travel again.
And this time, the FL will be torn and afraid. If she changes things in the past again, she is now fully aware that she might accidentally change the future of her brother and best friend, the way she did in her previous time travels when she saved her legs, everything changed, not just her legs.
So, if the FL will indeed travel back in time once more, she's in for a very hard and challenging situation.
Oh, one more thing, they showed her first crush in E08, but nothing much on that front. They basically dropped a clue that he is also a very important character in this wild and interconnected relationships. Whatever the FL will change in the past agian, things might get worst because she's missing one important factor: her first crush.
In defence of Na Young, re: kindness sceneYou have to understand that scene where she confronted the ML about…
It also applies to men, by the way.
There are people who show acts of kindness because they're kind naturally. There are people who help others because it is in their nature to help.
More often than not, it has nothing to do with “you”. They don't have feelings for you, and they don't pity you. It's not about “you”, it is just who they are.
As we autistics learned, always clarify so there are no misunderstandings. ^_~
You have to understand that scene where she confronted the ML about his kindness to her, is true-to-life. It was not fiction just to make it dramatic.
I've experienced it myself, first-hand (multiple times at that LOL). As a Filipino, we were taught to respect women, and to show kindness to everyone. While not all Filipinos act that way, I took it to heart and became natural for me.
There was this young lady, legal age don't worry, who suddenly confessed to me because I showed kindness to her. Like the ML in this show, those meant nothing. It was just me acting naturally. That's how I was taught. That's how I grew up.
Sadly, the young lady, like Na Young, gave meaning to the acts of kindness and mistook it as having feelings for them. The only difference, fortunately, the young lady I met was not psychologically sick like Na Young. Although, thinking about it now, I think it was a mistake to not accept that young lady's confession, because she's a daughter of one of the largest conglomerate in the Philippines. ^_^;;
Anyway, as I said earlier, in Na Young's defence, it does happen and it is true-to-life. The sad thing about Na Young is that she's psychologically ill, there's no question about that. While it is understandable that she misunderstood the ML's acts of kindness, if you combine it with her instability, it can become very dangerous for everyone.
It's just so annoying they didn't clear their music license for most of the foreign groups. They have to “silence”…
Yo, Mr. Zhang Lay, whoever was your manager for licensing clearance and inviting gorups, tell them to include song and performance license in the contracts. It's SOP.
It's just so annoying they didn't clear their music license for most of the foreign groups. They have to “silence” the songs of the foreign groups. Baah.
It should've had been part of their contract to have a license to use their performances and songs in anywhere their show will be streamed and aired.
The official channel/streaming have two versions:* 30 min per episode, currently at episode 15* 1:30 per episode, E05 just released.But MDL have 2:00 per episode × 12 episodes. Huh?

I suddenly remembered the ripple reference in other time travel stories. A small ripple becomes a big ripple.
If she isn't careful, things might change in a way she wouldn't like.
Just thinking about it makes it exciting. We're only halfway through the series. A lot can still happen!

And they know how to kiss on-screen! Not that silly awkward kiss very common in K-drama land. GOOD JOB!
The question is, who led who? Hahahaha. Who had the skills to kiss and made the other comfortable in the process. AYEEE
