sai

they tried that at one point i think, the bully took someone's phone and tried to figure out what their role was. but it doesn't show up.

if the ghost and yoonseo's dreams were seeun helping her, can anyone help explain why the ghost was also trying to pull yoonseo down in the pool and drown her? every other ghost incidence makes sense except that one

I think it's definitely a lot less weird in Korean

yes that scene and when she got stabbed! she really sounded like she was in pain

wow yeah you're right.. if they're to blame/punish yoonseo her friend for not doing anything they should also be blaming themselves

Ahn Jiho (who played Dabeom) was the most impressive actor in this for me. for someone who has primarily only played minor roles before this, this character really showcased a lot of his skills. i have a feeling he'll make it big, only 19 and he's this talented already. another actor who impressed me is Lee Jaein (Yoonseo). despite her weak and poorly written character, Jaein really pulled through in the emotional scenes and it sometimes felt so real, as if she wasn't even acting, especially in the last 2 episodes. my fellow 04's have huge potential I'm so excited to see how far they'll go.

anything is better than duty after school lol

all the memories you have mentioned are only enough for him to understand the body he's living in and the context. why the spy is being targeted, what kind of life the CEO has been living, what relationship the bullied student has with others. the spy being upset at the betrayal could be yijae getting angry at dying when he was so close to the money. when cafe guy's friend called him after getting memories, he had no idea who he was. nor when his friend/brother appeared in his house after getting drunk. either he doesn't get all him memories or there are problems with the writing.

a lot of what you're saying is that this is not the webtoon so the webtoon reasoning wouldnt justify the kdrama but the webtoon IS the source material. the kdrama can't cover the ML's entire thoughts as theyre displayed in the webtoon, nor can it go into as much detail. so for the parts that have not been changed and are pretty much word-for-word copies, it's safe to assume that they align with the same scene in the original. the drama does make its own "creative liberties" but when it creates inconsistencies after incorporating that along original scenes, that's an issue. i understand their decision to change yijae's personality to make him more relatable, but it clashes with the other scenes that they dont change from the webtoon, where his original personality shows through.

by your logic, if the personality changed, the drama should have explicitly mentioned that. he notices the memories and physical abilities but not once has he made a comment on the personality changes. the daredevil scene could be justified as him being excited that he's in a famous person's body and feeling secure that he'll survive, that's not a big enough scene to prove he's absorbed the personality.

first point - unless they add another plot change to the drama there's no 'finding out' because that quite literally was the reason she made him play that game.

second - she's not giving him redemption she's punishing him by giving 12 lives that are already destined to die and teaching him a lesson. "Death would most likely be pissed at others too" in the webtoon she states this is the first time she's ever become so angry at a human so she created the game, from that it's safe to assume others haven't done this before.
third - this just doesnt even make sense. physical ability and partial memory recollection is one thing, personality change is another. he is a whole different soul existing in these different bodies. he has just enough memories to pick up where the body was left off, that's nowhere near enough to significantly change his personality. the whole point is to see if he can solve her 'game' and evade dying. giving him different personalities in different bodies takes away from that because that's essentially not him who is surviving.
i suggest you read the webtoon. a lot of your reasoning is already explained there.

kdrama yijae broke up with his gf because he was insecure and saw her smiling with another guy only to later find out he was her brother. you're telling me he's dated her for 7 years and had no idea she had a brother?

also the whole reason Death was pissed at him in the first place. kdrama yijae is nice and hardworking, why would she be so pissed at him specifically for jumping when plenty of others have been in the same position? webtoon yijae was trashy, lazy, and arrogant and decided to die because he viewed death as an easy way out. that's why Death decided to punish him with the game, becausehe viewed death as something trivial and within his control. the character change is inconsistent too. sometimes he's nice/soft, sometimes he has his original personality like when he's trying to outsmart Death or when he's in the different bodies. like you're telling me prisoner guy had the same personality as cafe guy? of course part of that is due to the different actors but the essence of yijae himself is inconsistent within the different bodies

i desperately need seyoung and inhyuk as leads in another drama, their chemistry in this is toooo good

To each their own :) Funny because I feel like the changes in the kdrama only added more plot holes to the story

yeah, in the webtoon his gf broke up with him and married someone else before he killed himself because he was more of a trashy character. i think the adaptation just did that to give the ml a reason to break up with her.

must be just a missed plothole. it was never in the original webtoon

funny because in the webtoon, he's not supposed to have a 'sob' backstory. he's lazy after getting rejected from jobs for 2 years, he didnt even have that weird car accident scene that made him fail the first interview. his gf had given up and left him and married someone else. so he just carelessly decided to kill himself, which obviously pissed Death off. i feel like him having a better character here clashes with the reason Death got mad at him in the first place

yup, they also made yijae more likeable. i think they're trying to send a positive message of not killing yourself through the changes.

As a huge fan of the webtoon, I don't really like the changes they made to the drama as I feel it takes away the reason this all happened to the main character in the first place, but they aren't major changes and I get why they did it. For an adaptation I am enjoying it a lot.

I would initially agree to this how both sides are just trying to survive but after this week's episodes it's revealed that the whole game is revolved around their dead classmate Park Seeun and how all the mafias were somehow involved with her death. That no longer makes the mafias randomly chosen to kill anymore, they were made mafia BECAUSE of their involvement with Seeun's death.

lowkey want the mafias to win theyre way more interesting than the main 3 rn

Agreed, I think showing the viewers every one of their struggles in the modern world would become really annoying really fast. They showed plenty when Yeonwoo was originally adjusting and at this point we are moving on to the next point of the drama, her fulfilling her dream in this era, developing her relationship with Taeha, and discovering/breaking the unfortunate fate she continually has with Taeha. And we still get her occasional commentary of modern day vs Joseon anyway, it's plenty for a romcom.
