Barely knows her stalker and falls in love with him, not even liking but straight up in love with him and breaks…
She knew him since they were in school. She knew who requested the shed. She knew he kept looking at her. She knew this and that. She even recognized him immediately during the bus/bridge scene. That's how memorable he is to her.
Is the curse even broken? It just doesnβt work now because she βlovesβ him. What happens if they break up…
The curse is probably broken permanently.
However, I think the curse was simply paused. As long as they're a couple who is in love, the curse is paused. If they start to fall out of love, the curse will slowly activate. If they divorce, it will be back in full power.
The problem is loving him, she made it clear that she liked him but shouldnβt loving take more time? Getting…
Nope. Love is simply hormones, nothing else. You can love someone if you want to.
The things about love that society made us believe are simply a poetic way to elicit emotions (or more hormones). Unfortunately, it made sous believe that there is a process to it. The truth is, it all comes down to the person's decision.
This is why there are best friends of opposite genders yet they never have a single desire to be together romantically nor to sleep. Both of them simply never decided to love each other romantically. Which in turn never produces hormones related to romance.
If it's hard to grasp, think of people having ONS or are FWB. They are not in love. And FWBs also talk about rules like "never fall in love". Loving someone is a decision. Romantically loving is even more so.
That's the reality about "love" no matter what type it is.
Yes, for many it starts with attractiveness. But again, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Meaning, the person finds beauty in someone because they decided there is beauty.
It all comes back to making a decision, always. π
Few questions has left unanswered unfortunately: How are they cursed and why? What happened if they donβt stay…
Since they broke the curseβ¦
Yes, we can safely assume that the accursed can now interact like everyone else.
I doubt it was broken, it's more like their love paused the curse. So, as long as they're in love and together as a couple, the curse's power have no effect on anyone.
If they divorced, or starts to fall out of love even if still married, the curse is probably going to show it's ugly head again. Not powerful, but it'll be there.
Few questions has left unanswered unfortunately: How are they cursed and why? What happened if they donβt stay…
The reason for the curse doesn't matter. In creative writing, it is called "literary device".
In a timetravel story, do you ask how they created the device that made them travel through time? In anyme isekai (parallel world), do you ask how the character got transported into another world? We don't, correct? Because we know it was only a "literary device".
The curse is no different, it was only a literary device, nothing more. It was meant to set up the story. How it started doesn't matter, it just is. And there are many people who have that curse.
Few questions has left unanswered unfortunately: How are they cursed and why? What happened if they donβt stay…
What happens if they don't stay by their side?
That was answered since E01. π
They die if they confessed; they get into accidents but survive if they have feelings but didn't confess; or into minor accidents even if they have no feelings but violated one or more of "10 meters", "10 sentences", "10 minutes", rules.
My question is when did the second couple start having feelings for each other? They only started talking in episode…
They first met and talked when 1ML was in the hospital (it was E07 I think). Either the 1ML saw something with them, or 1ML noticed how the 2ML changed after meeting her. Hence the 1ML knew they'll eventually find each other again.
However, he needs to accelerate their fate and make 2ML understand the rules, otherwise, the 2FL will die.
idk what made Jun no to recruit him just like that! even though he hesitated a bit after interviewing him.
Yep! I hope they'll reveal his intentions or what it was he saw in him. The interview scene seems to suggest hi was touched by his answers, but like, that was a very low standard to get into his department?!
Oh thank you for the explanation ^^ Didn't have to bother looking it up.Side Note: I once asked a Korean teacher…
Basically, Filipinos actually have two primary languages: Filipino + Philippine English. For some it's regional language + Philippine English, "Filipino" is secondary language.
In some regions, they have at least 3 primary languages: regional language + Philippine English + Filipino.
In most cultures, they only have 1 primary language + 1 or 2 secondary.
It's different for us. We learn Philippine English+ Filipino; or Philippine English + regional laeguage, very very very early on. Parents and relatives will talk and teach various languages (and dialects!!) to the poor kid after birth. π€£π€£π€£
This is why it's natural for us to use both English and Filipino, we don't even realize we're doing it. Which is anso reflected in P-dramas.
Oh thank you for the explanation ^^ Didn't have to bother looking it up.Side Note: I once asked a Korean teacher…
Oooh. I love your questions!
1. Former alphabet. Yes, the umbrella term is "baybayin" or "surat" or "suyat". "Baybayin" in English means "to pronounce syllabically while "surat" and "suyat" are generic "writing" or "writing script".
It had many variations before the colonial period, and the oldest surviving record was A.D. 900 called the Laguna Copperplate. There was a date written on it and so the conversion to Gregorian Year is accurate. It was about a contract loan and payment, IIRC.
If you have the font, it looks like this ie Spanish-influenced Baybayin: αααααααααΆ (by character: ba-y-ba-yi-n; by syllables: bay-ba-yin). In its original form it would be written as: αααα (ba-ba-yi).
2. Roman alphabet. Yes, the Spaniards forced it on us because they don't want to learn our own script. Unfortunately, they weren't serious about it so they only gave the basic.
The first form was: A Ba Ka Da E Ga Ha I La Ma Na NGa O Pa Ra Sa Ta U Wa Ya. (Just change the vowel sound accordingly.)
The current is: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N Γ NG O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z. The ΓΓ± came from Spanish.
We only have 5 vowel letters but those 5 represents at least 10 vowel sounds.
Around 2003 or a few years later, a new vowel was added called the "Filipino schwa" which is written as Γ«. So, now we have 6 vowel letters or a total of at least 11 vowel sounds. π
3. Mixing of English and Filipino. Yes, we code-mix and code-switch between English and Filipino. It's actually very natural for us, to the point that when we're talking to foreigners we don't realize we're mixing Filipino until the foreigner starts asking questions. π π
This is also one reason why foreigners staying in the Philippines eventually learn Filipino, because we code-mix and code-switch a lot.
While the Philippines is one of non-English countries with a very high proficiency in English, few people actually speak in pure English. Typing in pure English is much easier.
Also, our English variant is "Philippine English". It's different from "Singlish" (Singapore), "Konglish"/"Konglish" (Korean), and "Taglish".
"Singlish" is not an official variant of English. Although English linguists have been debating about promoting it as one for almost a decade now.
"Konglish"/"Kinglish" is not even English. It is "English as spoken in Korea" not "Korean English" (apparently, they're not the same according to linguists). Konglish/Kinglish is actually considered by linguists as a sub-variant of Korean.
"Taglish" or "Englog" (the latter is rarely used) is code-mixing. It's either a Filipino sentence with English words; or English sentence with Filipino words.
Examples: * Let me tusok-tusok the fishball. (Pure English is: Let me prick the fishball.) * Eat tayo sa Jollibee. (Pure Filipino: Kain tayo sa Jollibee; translation: Let's eat at Jollibee.)
Taglish is often mistaken as "Philippine English" especially by vloggers. But they're not the same.
"Philippine English" is pure English. It's a mixture of (1) American English + (2) Australian English + (3) British English + (4) Local cultural and language influences. It's so unique, it's actually recognized as an official variant of English, the same level as British, American, and Australian English.
Exrmples: * "color" and "colour" are both valid. * While "center" and "centre" are technically the same, we have specific uses for them. * We use both "taxi" and "cab. In fact, we also mix them as "taxi cab". π€£ * In the 20th century, we used both "Ground Floor + 1st floor" (British way); and "Ground floor + second floor" (American way). The British way is rare today in the 21st century, because of too much confusion it was standardized to American way. HOWEVER, we invented "Upper Ground Floor" and "Lower Ground Floor", as a solution to the British and American ways. π
There are also words found in Australian, American, and British English variants referring to the same thing, however in Philippine English, we use all those words but each refers to different things. ππ
Sidewalk, pavement, pedestrian lane, donut, biscuit, napkin, tissue, etc.
And that's just words only. We have a different sentence structure too. We generally follow the Oxford comma. Among other differences. And as many differences there are, there are many similarities too! π
So, yes, if you're watching P-drama, even if it's pure English, it will still be confusing because they'll be speaking Philippine English.
This is the reason why when they're speaking in English, the subtitles are different. The subtitle translator is translating Philippine English into American (usually) English.
Ahh! One more.
"We" and "Us". In British, American, and Australian English, "we" and "us" are always plural. Not so in Philippine English. We use it two other ways:
* Plural to mean "speaker + everyone". This is the American, British, Australian usage. * Plural to mean "speaker + the speaker's group, excluding the listeners". Philippine English. * As singular. Philippine English.
This usage was influenced by local culture and languages.
In Filipino, we use "plural" words for respect and honor. To not sound rude. It influenced the way we use English words like "we" and "us".
Filipinos are often confused with pronouns too. He, she, him, her, because we don't use gender pronouns in our native languages. We only use plural pronouns as singular or proper nouns and titles.
And that often shows in the way we speak and write in English.
HOWEVER, if it's a pre-colonial drama, it'll be pure Filipino usually with old words and invented words.
If it's a colonial period drama, Filipino + Spanish. Or, Filipino + Spanish + English.
If it's modern period, expect a lot of code-mixing and code-switching between Filipino and Philippine English.
The intern should be fired. Haha. Oh well, people new in the corporate world are usually like that. They still don't understand they should never reveal anything even if you're in the same company. Only directors can reveal plans of your department.
can someone explain the plot twist. I didn't really understand it.
The twist is that the 2ML is also cursed and the 1ML knew it and did research as well. Based on the results, the 1FL and the 2ML have the same curse.
This is why the 1ML planned everything. He knew it is the only way to make the 2ML believe. And once he believes it, he'll soon realize what happened to alu the girls and women who got into an accident or died around him. Including the girl who was being stalked.

Same rules.
