sai

yes i believe it was about janghyun taking care of ryangeum or something like that, probably ryangeum reminiscing about the first time janghyun 'saved' him as a child.

I love the way you wrote this

so we finally got another clue about janghyun's past..maybe it's just me but i couldnt figure out if janghyun was the younger or elder boy in that flashback. the sister calls out "heon" which could either be a nickname for janghyun or be the name of his little brother. now that i write this i vaguely remember some sort of flashback in part 1 too about janghyun's past, involving ryangeum. can't remember what happened tho. but glad they are finally giving us something! janghyun has been such a mystery man this entire time

I agree with you there. Yumin is my second most disliked player since she was more of a sideline player and wasn't very significant. Orbit had more control over the players and thus the game so he was worse imo. But totally agreed, he's very skilled.

Perhaps a better word for Yumin would be manipulative by acting naive and weak to help herself instead of having a solid plan/scheme. And for Orbit's case, it's definitely an agree to disagree situation. I personally disliked his behavior and attitude the most out of everyone.

that's the difference between him and yumin. yumin also schemed against players for her own benefit but she didnt try to convince HERSELF that she's helping other people. orbit only admitted that in the end after others constantly pointed out his hypocrisy. that man was deluded, he genuinely couldnt accept that he was morally in the wrong and u could tell that by the way he reacted to those criticisms.

i think u missed the part where it says rant

the AUDACITY for him to cry after dongjae got eliminated oh my god.. ur the one who kicked him out????? on purpose???? you're literally the reason he's out and u have the nerve to cry about it after it's done????? got my blood boiling.

[rant] orbit was truly my least favorite contestant on the show because of his stupid 'underdog hero' persona he puts on. he went around acting like he will help everyone to win yet SIMULTANEOUSLY spreading the idea that dongjae/siwon's team were these horrible top players that had way more Pieces than everyone even though they literally had just one more Piece than him. HE created that divide and rivalry between both groups so that the others would help him defeat the actual smart players in order for him to have an easy win in the finale. this is a smart idea, i won't lie, but it's the way he pretends like he's some innocent humble leader that gets on my nerves. he has the audacity to act like an angel and pretend he isnt doing anything wrong, if you're gonna scheme just be honest about it. multiple times he manages to eliminate players and plays it off as a calculation mistake. bffr.

woah this could actually happen. if we get to the scene and eungyeol is with his father he would 100% try to take the fall instead

why would she betray hyesung too though? i get the peer pressure with dongjae because she didn't fully trust him yet but hyesung was probably the closest one there to yumin and she still betrayed her like that

Even though the whole 'it was all a dream' trope is boring and overdone, it fits well with this drama because in the end, Jinbu didn't alter her mother's fate at all. She didn't change the future, so when she wakes up everything is the same. And anyway if it wasn't a dream, it'd be harder to deal with Jinbu's mother recognizing her and ofc! Her romance with Duan Xiao who would literally be a middle aged man by then. By making it a dream we have that leeway between yes, everything did happen, and also, your brain just made that boy up. That way, when she returns to her real life she still has a chance to fall in love with him again but this time there won't be an age gap issue due to time travel. Just really like how they wrapped that issue up lol

i really like how the drama did the ending in terms of romance with time travel

i'm seeing a theory going around that sekyung's daughter will timetravel to the past and have a loveline with eungyeol.. makes sense since they purposely didn't show us the daughter's face in the present time

ha yichan and leechan are the same name just different english spelling

righttt it's so well characterized and shown we need more dramas like this

this!! very well said

same the kids were cute but the second we got to the parents' stories i didn't wanna go back

i doubt it, he would have definitely saved his eldest son earlier during the snowing incident if he was just pretending to be deaf.

i think it was to build up how the 1995 characters ended up wanting to start a band so when they meet Eungyeol that idea is already in their minds and Eungyeol would help their band be successful. i guess if they didn't give us some backstory it would feel like too much of a coincidence? if we watched Yichan bump into Eungyeol and the first thing he talks about is a band
