I respect your opinion! However, I can totally see where it came from on both sides:

Dohee was initially instantly attracted to him by his looks (which I totally get, LOL). I think him always saving her, being there for her, and protecting her turned that attraction into actually liking him. Natural chemistry was always there for her (office scene, him holding her hand at the bar, the tango scene), but I think the little things, him changing her funeral dress so she could connect with Ju, him marrying her because he didn't want her to die, trying to help her find the killer not because he wanted his tattoo back but to help her, him always protecting her, turned that attraction into liking him.

And I mean, Dohee was the one that made Guwon (who hadn't felt human emotions in 200 years) feel all the emotions. Initially, it was pity for her and feeling sorry for her for her situation. You can see it in episode 3 with Ju dying, and see it in episode 4 when she talks about how she has gotten into a habit of working, working, working due to her past self wanting to bury away the pain of her parent's death. You can also see that he begins to feel attracted to her (office scene) and that he is scared of that attraction (the whole mess in episode 5)

In conclusion, I think they both felt the sparks, the natural attraction and connection pretty early on. GuWon tried to ignore it and push it away, and DoHee ignored it once GuWon pushed her away.

Do I think they are madly in love at this point? No, but I think they are getting there. But I can see where the relationship came from. It came from a mutual place of attraction, of liking that other person because of the way they make you feel and wanting to explore that relationship further.

But anyhow, this turned into a word vomit and I apologize LOL.

Yep. It's almost like these writers didn't really consider the ramifications of the changes they did to a well thought out and established work.

In the webtoon the reincarnation of his dead love never turns up, and Ji Ah is just from a family of shamans that's bound to serve the tiger god, so she's just around to keep an eye on him and the humans he cursed.

The writers need to try to make the story angstier and darker is dragging the show down.

i hear you well :)

I don't mind spoilers don't worry, and thank you! I was just hoping I didn't miss out on anything crucial it makes me even more angry from the previews like how easy it is for him to switch sides.

Yeah that would make so much sense. I can't wait for his downfall

sometimes I just want a silly little show about a girl turning into a dog. looks like I still haven't gotten it.

Oh, I see. I focussed too much on the video instead of Se-eun's tragedy. I almost forgot about her, which actually proves your point. Yes, you are absolutely right. The writers should have made it clearer how Se-eun suffered, so we have at least a clue why the parents felt they needed to kidnap everybody instead of the culprits only. :/

I've never seen any explicite sex scenes in K-dramas, only in K-movies. Also, it would have been inappropriate to show something more explicite because the characters (not necessarily the actors) are very likely supposed to be minors. Maybe the deepfake wasn't actual porn but just a slutty tiktok dance. In my opinion, it doesn't matter what it was exactly. Since the pupils sent the video around, it could not have been some "boring stuff" because nobody would have cared. We can safely assume that it was something with a lot of naked skin.

The "interesting" aspect in "Taxi Driver" was that the boyfriend betrayed FL's sister's confidence in one of the worst ways possible.

I agree with you, though. The ending felt rushed because the backstory wasn't written/explained well. To be honest, I don't care much about the suicide part because the explanation was sufficient for me. I know people who tried to kill themselves for the most stupid reasons, so I don't question much in this respect. I'm more interested how on earth the parents felt it was a good idea to punish everybody. Their brief explanation makes no sense to me. Since their explanation was presented as "complete", it didn't even invite us to come up with our own theories.

Since we don't know what happens "outside", we don't know if the kidnapping part is a plot hole. The parents must be extremely rich to be able to have and run such a superior hardware. They are certainly able to kidnap and hide a bunch of sedated teenagers. We also don't know how fast the simulation/game is. 12 iterations does not automatically mean that the teenagers have been there for several weeks.

The suicide makes sense, in my opinion. Do you really think that a girl wouldn't feel ashamed in an open-minded Western country if a (fake) porn video of her existed? Teenagers have killed themselves for less.

Regarding the ending, I completely agree with you. The parent's explanation makes no sense, especially not, since they also torture their daughter's best friend and other innocent people. And they even use their daughter's work to torture their daughter's best friend.

That's not a secret room tbh. Even when DDH came before she was able to enter there easily. The relevance of those clocks could only be understood by the Demon himself, so locking that room was not necessary.

His study was left insecure because, first, SunWol is a small foundation, they don't have the threat model of large corporate businesses and second, the demon himself protected his study when he had his powers, he didn't need to hire a security. The lack of security was an oversight on demon's part due to chaos that ensued after losing his powers. Our demon is not perfect, he makes mistakes, pretty massive ones.

Yoo In Soo was amazing in this as per usual and I totally agree about the ML part. He does deserve it. So talented.

Ah got it! Yes, he was good and has great screen presence. Ah now I remember why he looked so familiar, he was the annoying bully in All of Us Dead!

baby part was painful to watch 🥲

Hat's off to the acting skills of Yoo In Soo 🔥 He's an amazing actor ❤️
