ive watched it a long time ago and im rewatching it again i dont think they ever explained why they were in a…
i saw someone's comment on yt that maybe will answer your question
"I think that Mengmeng's spirit was responsible for Li Shiqing getting trapped in the time loop. She didn't want her parents to kill all those people + themselves in her name, and all she was able to do was create the time loop and give someone the power to remember between each iteration. Li Shiqing was chosen because of how similar she was to Mengmeng when she died (same college, both girls, both 20)."
Shiqing also sat on the same place that the girl who took the photo of the lecher. Mengmeng wanted Shiqing to be the saviour the other girl never got the chance to be.
There is actually more "easter egg" and coincidence between Mengmeng and Shiqing like how she first succesfully escaped by making "molester" excuse.
I’m don’t remember the kitchen?? Wasn’t it at paradise?!! 🤣
in the island.. in s1 & s2 people who didnt go to paradise had to cook and prepare their dinner themself, - no canned food, and we also could see more interaction that way
i almost fell for hwihye's backstory, but after knowing they only dated for 5 months? yeap they wont be an endgame. it is a short time to date and the last thing hwihyun said to her ex was too mean, even if hyewon still has feeling, i think her resentment towards him is bigger :/
