Parallel World from the Future
On Sh**ting Stars May 5, 2022
Wow, star-studded cast, and some of them worked together before.

Hopefully it remains a good show with the next episodes.

Yeah. Seems to be they're experimenting. Hopefully they'll find what works for their style.

They also should not shy away from extending to 12 episodes if 8 seems to be too compact. Even Western productions are extra careful when it comes to releasing an 8-episode series/season. All it takes is one wrong decision for the entire season to collapse. It's like short stories, better write a novelette than force it to be a short.

Title Monstrous
The concept was good. The execution was very bad.

Was it because they were only given 8 episodes? Or, they just really failed in interpreting the story into a mini-series?

Most characters are also the usual you've seen in other similar concepts but poorly executed in this mini-series.

Title Monstrous Spoiler
Episode 4 feedback.
Kinda stupid.

1. The mother should not have called her daughter. Because of that she was hit and killed on the spot.

Granted, it is not clear if she was just imagining it and it was not what exactly happened.

2. When the crows suddenly appeared, they ran instead of getting inside their SUV when they were but two steps away from it and the crows were still a few feet away. LOLs.

But okay, fine, they need to find a reason for the guy show his archaeology skills. Hahaha.

Then his next step was "to get back to the car". HELLLLOOOO??!! Seriously?!!!

The cop got inside the car, while the guy wrote an inscription on the car's hood. For a minute or two, he was ignored the crows.

Then he was attacked after he finished it … was it not supposed to protect them?

Then the cop went out and … just got herself bitten. While the guy went inside the car.

Oh wait. The reason the cop went out … although she had no idea about it yet at that time … was to pick up the car key the guy dropped.

The cop is useful after all. Thinking 10 steps ahead!

Hahahahaha

Don't worry. They did share photos in their respective Instagram accounts, so it means they got approval to make…
My pleasure.

Aside: In North America, they don't care if people take photos of the set and post it immediately. LOLs. Personally, if it's a celebrity or foreign production filming/visiting our country, we need to be careful with what we share. Give them some time to enjoy their visit and finish what they came here for before everyone discovers their whereabouts.

Then again, when it comes to Hollywood stars, no one cares, Share away! Haha. (Some do tell the fans not to share immediately, especially if it's a spoiler or they came here in secret.)

Imo it’s going to come out sooner than we might expect.
True, her paternal grandmother will make a big issue out of it, especially the adoption secret. She's already making a big fuss about her daughter-in-law's mother living with them. LOLs.

I think it still happens today. Here in the Philippines many, if not most, still frown upon legally related people entering into a relationship (especially those born in the early 70s and earlier). If I'm not mistaken, they Court can intervene if someone files a complaint, since it is illegal. I think the US it still is the same?

For adoption, that at least I can say looking down or indifferently on adopted people is long gone in the Philippines. Even in local dramas, it's rarely used as a topic for conflict these days, rather, they're welcomed as a full-blood family.

Which makes it interesting that even in recent K-dramas (2021 and 2022), adoption is still depicted as an issue, I guess it still is in real life. That is, if Korean writers are still writing based on real life issues and their culture.

Definitely something to watch out for in this series. They packed it with various issues waiting to blow up. It's like watching a toned-down conflict drama with romance and comedy to balance it out.

ohh i think this drama will have a scene here in PH > < they're having a shooting around our place !!I'll delete…
Don't worry. They did share photos in their respective Instagram accounts, so it means they got approval to make the information public.

However, do not share unauthorized photos of the set and where they are exactly (although if you are in the Philippines, it's pretty obvious where they are).

General rule, you can take a photo of the actors close-up but not the set.

Since they made it public, it is also fine to share your photos immediately. (The unwritten rule here is that, if a celebrity is on a private/personal visit, you can only post photos after 30 days.)

So, again, since they posted photos they are in the Philippines, it's fine to share they are in the Philippines.

re: static site … thank you.

You'll definitely need patience in learning how to deploy a static site. When I first attempted it, I left it for another year before I took the time to dive into it.

2 years later, I am still learning a lot. At least as far as Hugo is concerned, there are a lot of things available that I haven't figured out before; or only understanding now how it works. I guess it was because I suddenly have a need for a certain way to do things so a feature of Hugo suddenly makes sense, not like before when I was just reading the documentation, because I don't have a use case, it was confusing.

Just yesterday, I added link icons. LOLs. Not yet perfect but it's a start. Not a fan of link icons per se but I want to see what else is possible with a static site.

^^

Yeah. I'm thinking about it. The options are just too limited. Facebook comments is not option either. I'm thinking of Github but not everyone have a Github account (and I think guest posting is not allowed).

Can't wait! Haha. I wonder how they'll handle it, since, if I understood family registry/relations in SoKor, they are too sensitive about it even if they're not blood related.

Since Mi Rae is blood-granddaughter of Hyun Jae's grandfather, and Hyun Jae's father is registered as a member of his family … socially and legally, they are related … even if Mi Rae and her mother are registered under a different family.

It's blood-relation and legal-relation clash. Which one would triumph?

I THOUGHT YOON SHI YOON WAS THE MAIN FIRST LEAD ? IS HE THE SECOND?AMONG THE MAIN CAST
It's arranged based on their sibling order, together with their partner, because most people new to the show are confused who's the eldest and the second.
Replying to MinaM Apr 29, 2022
Now it went to 8.9. I wonder how it's changing so drastically rn
The re-calculations are probably delayed.

Also, the usual trolls with multiple accounts who attack shows because they don't like it or hate the actors.

Thank you for the heads-up, re: Disqus comments.

After looking into it, it appears that login is failing to work if there are FPI (first-party isolation) addons/plugins, or the browser's default (in Firefox it is called "Enhanced Tracking Protection") is enabled.

Currently, I'm afraid this is on Disqus's side since they need to use cookies. I will try to find a workaround to this.

Again, thank you for the heads-up!

- Lee SooJae - 이수재
수재 - smartass; genius; talented; bright

Reflects with his character. First to made a move to win the race. Immediately formed the idea to enter into a contract relationship. Saw the value of the gym and how it will help him.

- Na Yoo Na - 나유나
유나 - kind; desired

Reflects her character. She is kind and friendly. Soo Jae's parents and grandfather desires her, wants her to be at home because she lights up their home.
