incompetent cops is a running theme in these kdramas/movies
Actually, it's common here in Pacific-Asia (not "Asia-Pacific" which includes Oceania). 😅 Even here in the Philippines, cops are portrayed as incompetent, corrupt, used by those in power and/or with money. 😂
The only difference, the Philippines, sometime 2010 to 2015, mandated to stop the negative portrayal of the police force as such, or they'll be sued. 🤣🤣🤣 So, you'll rarely see it these days—though still portrayed as such here and there, and then a short redemption sub-arc to balance it out.
For some reason, Korea's showbiz has far too much freedom. Foreigners would think Korea's police force are indeed incompetent. Unless they really are?
They made the real Sun Chaek like her new life just for the sake of it. She says the new world is so freeing when…
To understand her character, you have to see through her lens.
She was living in an era where women had to follow a strict social norms on how to live as a woman. She is a woman who wants to explore the world and chaining her won't work. Her only choices were to either suck it up or commit suicide.
Luckily for her, there was a magical choice, switch bodies.
The real world set in 2024/2025 may not be perfect, but from her own shoes, it is far more than she could ask for.
1. She has far more freedom and liberty as a woman. 2. She can study whatever she wants. 3. She can go wherever she wants. 4. There are no social norms that weighs down a person the way it did back in her era.
And many more.
As a free-spirited person, she is more than willing to live alone in a new world where she can be herself, than to live with her loving and progressive family in an era where she _must_ conform to social expectations.
It's an easy choice for her.

The question how is, is the FL (the new Sun Chaek) into less freedom and liberty for women?
Not at all.
She actually brought the world she grew up with, with her. She stood up for women. She stood up against bullies.
Loke the original Sun Chaek, you have to see things through her lens.
For the new Sun Chaek (FL), she had a life that was going nowhere. She was longing for a much closer familial relationship. She wants a new life.
She found all of it as Sun Chaek. Very close loving family. A best friend. A loving husband. She didn't need to work too.

Even in real life, we joke about "can yoy adopt me" a lot. But in reality, we all have hidden desires to have a certain type of life.
For example, it is very easy for me to choose between my family today versus living in the Renaissance Europe or the year 4780 A.D. where we can travel through the stars. Or, if a wealthy family is looking for a person to adopt with certain conditions, and shose conditions match with the life I want and the principles I live by, I'll take it immediately, even fight for it.
The OG Sun Chaek and the new Sun Chaek are those type of people. They were both born in the wrong era. They're willing to sacrifice everything to live in the era where they fit best, and they found it.
When she hit him with the stapler, he probably got wounded by it. It didn't show immediately. Then whatever "drugs"…
Yep! I'm actually surprsied it is not getting loud reactions. 😅 Usually these type of dark stories that touches on social sensitivities get the attention of so many groups.
You know, I DaHui is suspicious. A character played by a high-paid actor without any important role other than as a homeroom teacher? Suspicious. And wherever the glasses showed up, it's either in lockers of her own students or the faculty room.
He will notice now that he has the most s-lines than anyone in the world 🤣 And I don't get the last story with…
The short-haired teacher was obsessed with the other teacher. She wants to sleep with him but she's not brave enough to make a move.
Until one day, Room 205 was that teacher and to make things worse, the teacher's single sex buddy is a TV personality, possibly an actress.
So, when she heard them schedule their next f*ck session, she devised a plan to finally fulfill her sexual fantasies with him, while acting at the same, which is also her dream (to be an actor). Two birds, one stone … quite literally.
I mean I thought he was dead and she's still doing it I was like what the hell
He was dead.
Yes, there are people like that in real life. If it's proven they didn't have a mental or psychological disorder, they go to prison because in most societies, it is against the law to have sex with a dead body. Most go to institutions though, at least the recorded cases.
There were (hopefully past tense) even an underground market for such vile acts of having sex with a dead body. I'm assuming it started when having sex with comatosed patients became rape under various laws, and the market was abolished. People crazy for sex, and people desperate for money, find ways to fulfill both needs.
Episode 4 really dialed up the mature content. Where did the blood come from and why did she ride him to an O?People…
When she hit him with the stapler, he probably got wounded by it. It didn't show immediately. Then whatever "drugs" she used to knock him out probably had bad interaction, like preventing his blood from clotting so he started do bleed like water from a small wound.
Or, when he fell, he got wounded but it didn't show up immediately.
Nurses and doctors can think of better possible theories than what I came up with.
The only good thing—I mean, moral lesson—in these two episodes was this: never assume that your suspicions are 100% correct.
Like what happened with the male teacher, he assumed that her sister's "husband" was real. He almost killed a person because of his anger. Only to painfully learn later that his sister is the mistress.
Always know the complete story first before you take action, because it can backfire.
2 episodes to go but they seem to have concentrated on the assumption that all humans turn murderer and/or hunter when they start to see the lines.
I wonder if they'll show people who won't do anything with it other than observe? Or, virgins who'll use it to find other virgins? I mean, not everyone will suddenly turn psychotic. Some would probably break up or do nothing.
The FL is the representation of audiences. So, when audiences complain about it, the writer is practically sending a message, "yeah, can you do better than her?" 😂
Seriously, the entire premise of the story is, a reader attacked the writer and said nasty words, so the writer challenged her to do it herself. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The FL did well while living in the story, but sucked while writing. A bee was the best she could come up with to save herself. 😝 The writer played it beautifully.
Overall not too bad, but the villain arc felt forced and how/when did she suddenly have amnesia and wasn't in…
It isn't. It has been observed in real-life.
EunAe reached a point where the entire ordeal and experienced she had turned into a trauma. And while she was in trauma mode, she reached a point that triggered the brain to enter self-preservation to protect itself, and that is amnesia or blocking memories.
Everything that has to do with it, from her adoption to imprisonment, were blocked by her brain. She more likely won't recover from it, her brain won't allow it.
We usually think that what our brain does is 100% under our control. It is not so. Our brain can override our consciousness if it means survival. One such is trauma-induced amnesia.
(Another example of self-preservation is you suddenly fall asleep, that was your brain overriding your desire to stay awake because you'll die if you extend not sleeping at that moment, yes, it was observed in real-life too.)
That's what happened to EunAe. She reached a point of her depression, fear of death, disappoinment, and her father completely forgotten her when all she wanted was his approval, and her brain took over to ensure she survives: trauma-induced amnesia.
Not sure what happened there at the end with Cho Eun Ae. It came out of nowhere and was not explained. Overall,…
Self-preservation trauma-induced amnesia, more likely. Her extreme stress, disappointment, depression, and sudden capture and fear of death, not to mention her adoptive father completely forgotten her, pushed her to trauma mode.
For some people, when they reach a certain threshold of trauma mode, the brain enters into self-preservation, and that is usually amnesia or blocking of all memories related to the trauma.
That's what happened to EunAe. The only things she remember is her time in the adoption centre. She probably won't recover from it, her brain won't allow it.

Yeah, hopefully it all stopped by now.

Who knows, you might get your own isekai. 😂
