Before you watch E02, some PSA (Public Service Announcement) for your mental health.You might laugh or dismiss…
The scene with her grandmother where she hugged the FL might be troublesome for some people, I would advise skipping that part, just a few seconds, if you get troubled by such dangerous moments.

Reason below, don't read if it gets you triggered.
I wish they didn't include her confessing she already like the GP to the PM, because that made everything else predictable after that.
She finally admitted to someone she likes the GP, so her kneeling before her father made it very obvious why she's kneeled.
They use flashbacks a lot, so instead of the scene with her father as the epilogue, they should've used it as a flashback in E10. And the scene with the PM as the epilogue.
Even her requesting a divorce was too predictable because of that PM scene. You could end E09 when she kneeled because everything else is simply confirmation/canonization at that point.
The tension. They really lost it. E09 was doing great until the PM scene and the kneeling scene. The epilogue is not needed at all. LOL.
I've noticed alot of stories about transmigration always forget about the life of the possessed "victim"…
Same! I hope the real modern actress isn't forgotten but its starting to look like the new spirit is the new owner.
The trope is usually to original owner of the body died somehow and the new spirit revived it. So either the original owner moved on or she's in deep sleep and might become a problem later. It's probably the former, she's gone or she one who died in the past.
when she saw blonde hair, a camera, then a person of African ethnicity and screamed I lost it ๐คฃ ๐คฃ ๐คฃ
Same. For them to actually get that correctly, they did study well. There was no official contact with African polities with early Joseon, so she will indeed be very surpirsed to see one.
Many productions these days either avoid it or don't do it right fearing retaliation. But any student of history and timetravel fan understands. So, that tidbit scene. ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
the anime takes it in terms of being the most faithful to the source material. after that is the jdrama which…
Thank you! ๐๐ฝ
It's cool! I haven't read the manga but watching the anime and just finished the Kdrama adaptation.
I'm going to start the Jdrama franchise next (if I can find it, lol), which is interesting because it has multiple seasons and a movie, and that made me even more curious about it.
See? Kim SeJeong is indeed the perfect fit. It will become more obvious once it premieres. She not only has the looks and vibe, but she possesses (pun intended) diverse acting skills and experience.
This is a tvN drama, so unfortunately it's unlikely for her to promote on Running Man. If I have to guess, it…
Weren't there tvn promotions in Running Man? Even in Whenever Possible, there were also tvn promotions. I remember they even make jokes about competing with each other because of the timeslot.
But either way, that's sad. Still, maybe she can guest without directly promoting her drama. ๐
isnt that high school action and this one villain to unknown actress , time travel is the same. More towards reverse…
Yes, but:
- key lady figure possessing a body in the present - she's a villainess; HSQ is a very strict queen as good as a villainess to her enemies - both have a notorious male character they are in a love-hate relationship
Those are the main keypoints as far as the synopsis is concerned. It's the plot. Think Marry My Husband (2024) vs. Perfect Marriage Revenge (2023) and Business Proposal (2022) vs. King the Land (2023). The MC are different but it doesn't mean they're not similar in plot.
Damn, what an episode 6. Just an incredible episode. What even was that episode? It completely broke me. I loved…
They already hinted it has to do with his daughter. However, not a clue yet what exactly happened that broke him that very bad.
They're still building him up, and I think they also don't want his heartbreaking story to take the scene from the leads yet. I think it was a good decision because he remains a mystery. We know he's very deeply broken but at the same time we know he is fighting to live.
He is the very character of people who are deeply broken and thinking of ending their life but at the same time they are doing their best to live.
And his brother, despite his own problems with life, is holding on to ensure whenever he attempts to end his life, he can save him. They are those family members and friends that surrounds them who are often taken for granted. Despite having problems of their own, they do everything to survive so they can support their family or friend who wants to cross the line.
Keeping him mysterious that way also helps in keeping a character and relationship about depression and suicide, and their support. A reminder that depressed and suicidal people are actually fighting for their lives, and their support are equally important in the process.
That they too are crying silently for help. Not just the support around them.
Kim SeJeong was supposed to be appear her fellow I.O.I members in Running Man E801 but she texted that her schedule is filled up. Safe guess is they started filming High School Queen already. Or at least she's preparing for her action scenes, so probably on strict training schedule.
Hopefully she'll appear later in RM for their promotions. It would be fun to watch how RM will reinterpret HSQ. ๐
In E801, Kim SeJeong was supposed to join them bet she's busy. No doubt she's filming High School Queen since that's her latest project.
Would have been cool if she was able to join the episode. Maybe we'll see her once they're in the promotion period. LOL. It would be very funny how Running Man reinterprets HSQ.
Episode 6 of ใWe Are All Trying Hereใ brings the meat of the story to the front and center. If you ever felt that the story is slow, this is the episode you have been waiting for. The catch? If you skipped episodes and/or scenes and/or watched in higher speeds, you will definitely miss the emotional pact and of this episode and the entire story.
You see, episodes 1 through 5 all leads to episode 6. It primes us to be "in the zone" once episode 6 hits. Without a solid foundation that can only come from watching episodes 1โ5 at normal speed, the writer's message will not reach us.
A good example is the "Unknown" emotionโwhich I believe to be the main plot. It will not make any sense or impact without the foundation from episodes 1โ5โespecially for people who never experienced that emotion. In fact, even for those who did or.are experiencing the "Unknown" emotion, most wouldn't be able to identify with it. It truly is rn "Unknown" emotion.
And the way they named this emotion in episode 6 is how it finally connects to people who had similar experiences. But for those who have not experienced it, their only connection is if they watched episodes 1โ5 properly.
This is what episode 6 is all about. This is why it was set up this way. For me, that was brilliant writing. And I cannot say anything with the already brilliant acting by the lead actors. It was as if they too realized that they once felt the "Unknown" emotion. Viewers, with a similar experience and not alike, are drawn in with them.
It appears that Shin Ye Eun will not be taking on this project unfortunately. She was reported to be in talks…
As much as I like Shin Yeeun, she doesn't fit for the Queen. She lacks that fierce, macho look which the main character requires.
Also, I doubt her agenci will allow her. They are very strict in crafting her image as the girl-next-door. Jumping into full action, and somewhat "bully" character, won't sit well with them. They won't even let her dance in variety shows. LOL. That's how they overprotect and control her image.
