Wow, episode 6 was brilliant. I especially love how they put to the front the contrast between the two couples.{more…
The second couple: they are discovering their differences and can not reconcile those, might end up getting a divorce.
Our main couple: they are not married, they already know their differences and were able to reconcile those in the end, and now they'll live together.
There is also something they want us to realize between the two women and the two men. However, at this point it is not easy to make a comparison because we do not know yet the story of the secondary characters and why they act that way.
In this episode, we just learned the background of the primary characters and its heartbreaking. Maybe in episode 7 or 8 we will learn the story of the secondary characters and then we will see how different or similar the two mean and two women are to each other. I can't wait for that.
For now, the contrast between the two couples was brilliant. One was happy and going to end sad while the other started from a "sad" situation and will be happier.
1. The time traveler have more vested interest in changing the past.
In episode 1, it only appeared she was protecting the murder suspect. However in this episode, it would appear she is also protecting a certain politician.
Not a single clue as to what her connection is with that politician.
We could say that she needed money. But she chose to "save" the "corrupt" politician. Unless the politician was innocent or was forced to accept money for a good cause but was caught instead, so she saved him.
2. The time traveler is "dying" because her DNA is fractured like a bone.
I think this clearly shows she came from a future where the solar flare struck Earth in 2005, and human DNA got corrupted faster. By the time she was born, human DNA reached a point it already looks like a fractured bone.
3. She seemed to have received a "mission"
If it was not a new mission, it was probably her personal alarm for her next objective. Either way, it means before she time traveled, she was given a lot of objectives. The primary being to setup the grid. Since that's done, she can work on her other objectives.
4. The female lead of the "People Search" in the Admin Bureau is definitely hiding something. However, it is curious why she wants to find the time traveler.
5. What is the ML's secret agenda?
As of episode 2, the only hint we have is that he saw the time traveler disappear.
In episode 1, if I remember correctly, he was narrating why the future, and her, are the only ones allowed to time travel, and that in 2021 it will end.
I'm suspecting he's thinking of unlocking or steal the time travel tech so he can travel back in time and save her mother. Definitely has to do with his comatose mother.
6. The time traveler can target a specific object without the need for her to appear there.
In the suitcase scene, only the suitcase disappeared, no one saw her appear and disappear. This means that her technology can also target objects.
7. There is no rule restricting a time traveler from going back to the time they already showed up.
In the scene where the murderer stole the money from a man, she kept going back to that point in time to reset it. Since the murderer won't change his decisions, she instead returned the envelope in the last attempt.
This one is still not clear. How could she not have had figured out that no matter how many times she reset that moment, the murderer will steal the money? Especially if she doesn't want to reveal herself? She just repeatedly reset that time period hoping for a different result.
In the end, she used her technology to teleport an object from one place to another since the murderer just keeps on doing the same thing over and over again.
8. Her phone can access information from the future. That's why she knows when and where she should intervene.
1. Why did they suddenly drop out of nowhere that the female police detective used to work in the Admin Bureau? It appears they deleted scenes in the final cut but did not care to fix the dialogue. The disconnect was too noticeable.
When they were chasing her, and Mr. Song was shouting at her, there was no recognition from either of them. The ML wasn't surprised either when she mentioned his surname, though he showed that he wasn't sure like he had a hunch she used to work for the Admin Bureau and she knew Song Eo Jin.
2. This episode was also everywhere and nowhere. The only thing which "moved forward" was the Admin Bureau. Deleting the scenes with the murder suspect stealing money and the time traveler eating all the sweet foods wouldn't affect the flow of episode 2.
LOLs. I guess this is why there are those who got confused after watching this episode.
Hallyu (korean) ban in china since 2016 because of this many dramas acted by korean artist is not aired till now
They were never in a "cold war".
Their feud, as I've explained, goes all the way back to the ancient times. It's very deep.
If your identity is being attacked and you history being twisted, you don't just live and forget. The Hans and Koreans will always be at odds with each other.
I thought I could get around disney+ only making it available in South Korea by using my VPN but I can't even…
It depends on your VPN. Also, it depends on how good the service is in blocking/filtering IP addresses of VPNs.
I don't have a Disney+ subscription so I haven't tried. But EVPN is by far the most reliable I've tried. CW actually found a way to mess up streamers using EVPN even if you're literally in the US. LOLs.
For other countries and services, it works majority of the time in tricking servers.
Netflix is in Kdrama business from a lot time... Disney+ just entered... I'm sure they'll learn.. and maybe they've…
Hopefully they will learn but I doubt it. Western companies are stuck in the old, tried-and-tested, airwaves TV/cable way.
They are not willing to adjust to the streaming age.
For example, CBS/Paramount removed Star Trek from Netflix where everyone can watch it. They made it exclusive for Paramount+ and one or two streaming partners in Europe and Australia/New Zealand.
Everyone was pissed. So everyone started to watch from unauthorized streaming sites and went back to downloading torrents for Star Trek: Discovery.
Why? Because they think they'll earn more by running their own streaming services and by implementing the same strategy as they did with the TV/cable days.
They do not like Netflix's style of having different subscription prices per country because it also means their cut from Netflix's earning will be smaller too.
Disney did not learn from making Marvel shows exclusive to Disney+ Paramount+ did not learn from Disney+ Disney+ still did not learn anything from what Paramount+ did for Star Trek, they're still stuck with what they want.
Meanwhile, Netflix is raking in millions globally, which in turn allows them to fund shows in Korea, Japan, Europe, and in other parts of Asia. While in others, they buy exclusive distribution rights.
While, yes, Netflix is Western, they did not use the TV/Cable business methods. They adjusted. Their prices are also appropriate per country.
Look at Amazon Prime Video, they are starting to adjust their subscription price per country too. Also, for Amazon, they can offer other benefits so they don't have to adjust their price lower than usual. In some countries, an Amazon Prime subscription have benefits that does not exist in other countries.
"If this is the extent of our happiness together, then I don't want it."
True again. Relate.
Ouch. ep 7
"So it took us 10 years to figure out we're not right for each other?"
15 years for us. LOLs.
That's the thing about writing a cliché, you need to surpass them all. So far, they've done well with the first 2 episodes.
Also reminded me of "The Secret Life of My Secretary".

{more inside}
LOL, anyone who literally thought the time traveler is a literal "ghost" should watch episode 1 again.
Obviously she's alive, she's a time traveler.
Revealing it outside of canon is not "counted". It's not part of canon and you don't expect people to watch something not part of the show itself.
It proves what I've said. ;P
