If you could go back 10 years with what you know now about yourself and the world, would you do it?
Change things?
Yes and no.
1. I'll change things if it will benefit the humanity. 2. I keep all my memories because I am who I am because of those memories.
- If it will only benefit me. Nope. Not worth it - Or if I'll slowly forget my original memories, still a "no". I cannot guarantee I'll be the same person without those memories that shaped me.
Same for me. They were ridiculous. And I liked the first episode. Next week, back to 2025 and the phones we all…
Sooner or later, you'll bey one. It already exists, just not yet as a consumer product. 2035 is just about right it becomes a common consumer product. So, if you're still alive by then, you'll eventually buy and use one. 😜
Episode 01 was confusing. Let's try to make sense of it.
1. First scene: he was murdered. - 2035 after he sentenced S Group to 10 years (not lifetime as per synopsis).
2. Actual episode: 2035 before the sentencing of the S Group owner.
3. Ending scene: Months after the sentencing but before he was murdered. Something happened or they framed him up.
4. Preview of Episode 02: After he was murdered, he returned to the past (2025).
In chronological order: - Sometime 2035: He sentenced the S Group owner to 10 years - A few weeks or months after: He was framed or disposed of (ending scene of E01) - A few weeks or months after: He was murdered (starting scene of E01)
- Preview of E02: he returned to 2025 with all his memories intact.
NOTE: Nothing concrete. Just trying to make sense of things.
JiSeong's haircut. Did they film the past and present at the same time so the style of the present is weird? 😅 They should've finished all the scenes in the present before the let him cut his hair to fit the past scenes.
Too bad the episode they filmed when the Grumpy Secretaries was with Han JiMin were scenes no extras were needed. They could've made an appearance again.
The crime was premeditated. That night, Ra ik and his friend had both been drugged by someone who wanted to frame…
Also, the FL forgot to investigate who it was who asked the kids to visit his house, and if they told that someone—or anyone for that matter—his passcode.
English titles are often nonsensical. They also could have used "I, Idol" and it would have made more…
Exactly!
Their OTT partners should hire sensible people. Or, if the English title came from the production companies, they at least should say something about it, after all, they (OTT) will be running the product for years and hope they recoup their royalty/licensing payments.
It's understandable if official Korean English titles doesn't make sense because they're not aware or familiar with English nuances. But those OTT partners, they need to be proactive. LOL.
Then again, maybe the OTT services hired Korean representatives too for negotiations. 😅
I had a lot of thoughts and opinions about the disabled child episode but I looked into it further and found out…
That's correct. It's cultural and economical. With the kind of life they have, rising costs, combined with their varied traditions (confucian, shamanistic, buddhism, christian, and who knows what else), everything affects everything.
For context and comparison, here in the Philippines it isn't special schools that drive land prices up or down, it's churches from very influential religions—Roman Catholic and Iglesia ni Cristo—simply because you can't evict them once they're established (not like Protestants and Pentecostals, they can be easily evicted). In other words, once they're around, the land around it will remain residential or residential/commercial. You won't be able to buy those lands. Even the government's Right-Of-Way finds it hard to implement the law for public infrastructure projects. 🤷🏽
In SK, instead of churches, it's things like special education that can put a limit to land prices. And with rising costs of living, they all want the land prices to go up so they can rent it out or sell it at a higher price.
In the US, it's different. They ensure college kids are in debt so the rest of their lives, they are trying to pay their debts. Even before you finish paying your college debts, you're already living in a new house that you're paying because you haven't earned it yet. You have to work hard or live in the streets.
But once you get a promotion, the industry comes after you saying you need a bigger house so you can get a lot of tax breaks and not waste your new higher pay. But where does that new higher pay goes? Payment for the new house, again.
Different style but same concept. Keep everyone focused on money at the expense of others and of themselves. And it is also called "economy". Because if people have low purchasing power, it leads to less flow of money, which will slow down the economy, and might force it to enter into economic depression. 🤦🏽

The evidences are all there, it is up to the two camps to weave the most believable story that will convince everyone.
