You have to look on the bright side: there are now 82 episodes to rewatch. That's more than before.
And another chance to read the novel. All of it.
Let's suffer together again

ahhhh

6 Months waiting is not so bad. You have 50 chapters in the book. If it's 6 Months, it's two chapters per week to haul you over.

After finishing the Drama i am a broken woman.

there is basically nothing happeneing. It's just to make you feel good, enjoy the beauty. lean back and relax. It's supposed to give you warmth and not think too much.

My process of thought was pretty similiar to yours, but it was so ambivalent and confusing so i figured I might have missed something.

I also wondered, that he would worry they would face societal restrictions and Woojoo would just get hurt from it. That part "You cannot just date your stepbrother". But then I saw his parents and was like "why would you care" but then again, maybe that's exactly what he was trained to think. That there is this box in which way you have to behave. On the other hand Woohoo acts like she understands whats his problem is. That he understands that he is angry and he has a right to be. Instead of saying "it's my life, i will take care of it, it has nothing to do with you" or "Can you not be supportive of me" she just accepts his anger as if that should be the way.

Also the Mother of Yoon Joon said, that he brought Woojoo home two years ago, so she could not be counted as a date anymore. So did they date before and broke up? But that would not make sense to what Haesung said, that Woojoo did not have a relationship before.

it's just very messy. But i guess there might be still a prestory and explanation there which we might get in the next episodes. But it just makes it hard to follow along at this point.

totally love that you also still have to guess and i did not miss out on anything.

does anyone geht the relationship between Yoon Joon and Woo Joo? I cannot understand why he is so upset. Is he scared she would get hurt in the end? or is he in love and jealous and they have a promise going? Did I miss something?

I just cannot understand why he is so against Woo Joo being in love (and maybe) dating Dongjin? After all, there is no restrictive parents whatsoever. If it makes them happy let them be happy, their lifes suck enough. Especially he shoud get it, since he had to live a life by restricions. And just because he doesn't want to date (or does he???) doesn't mean he has to tell her what to do, no?

it's so confusing.

The battle in the comments is so weird.
This will not be the best drama aired this year. But it also doesn't need to. The best about this drama, is that it's so unbelievable average, It feels like you regular K-Drama from 10 years ago. Like 49 days or the Masters Sun. Before we had the big private productions and Netflix. We had the crazy Makjang parts, where everyone was overreacting. And we watched and had fun and a good time. So for it's genre it's a good average, fun drama.
Just sit down and watch the show and enjoy it. And if you do not, just watch something else.

This was absolutely my kind of drama. And it will forever hold a very dear place in my heart. The pictures in my head, the darkness, that villain, the OST

BUT in the end, the plotholes are overwhelming. It's been a while sind i have seen that many in a drama:
- How and why did Hwan Kwon Yeon split the souls?
- The sister of the detective???
- Did they both regain their memories in the end? Why? Or was it only him?
- If Min Sang Yeon had all the memories and was writing like a crazy person, why did she not RECORD IT ALL? Why did they never go back to check any of the left over information to figure stuff out
- Why exactly needed Ok Eul Tae to kill Min Sang Un every time she was reborn???? How did that exactly help? Why was that the last reincarnation, if he would killed her, but if she would have died normally her soul would reincarnate like the regular?
- The prophecies barely fitted? For Min Sang Un we do not know if she regained all her memories, but no one died. If ithe prophecy was meant for Dan Hwal than it did not come true
- Apparently Bulgasal don't need fucking human blood????? Like people, no consistency???

I am also pissed, that no one ever really sat down and thought about stuff. Like, why did Min Sang Un as female Bulgasal decide to protect Dan Hwal, but then go rampant and kill all his family? How exactly did Ok Eul Tal kill the Dan Hwals family, when she as a Bulgasal? Where did he live, that he could just hunt where she was, how did that work out for 400 years?

And the moral standards where also preeeeetty off and questionable. Very hard questionable. Really did not follow one like and often contradicted itself.

Tomorrow I will come up with ten more plotholes. Oh god, and the ending was lame.

But still mucho fun watching, because pictures. The pictures made everything worth it.

See, that's why I wondered. If the Drama people intnetionally build in such a twist. You can totally watch the drama and get the idea that beomseok might be in love with Su Ho, but because he was so much abused and hated by his father, he could not even admit it or even think about it, because he had such an inferiority complex. And then the jealousy spiked when Yeong Yi came along. And when he said to Suho that he doesn't want to be ordered around it sounded like a lame excuse so he would not have to admit that he was jealous and in love.
It's good to know though that this was not the story line of the webtoon. But i have no clue why they put that in the drama like that. Because normally you would be tempted to watch such a drama because of the "bromance" you were expecting. But this drama then put a horrible twist on it somehow.

Thank you for clariyfing, but then i wonder. Why did he not show that same inferiority complex in front of Shi Eun? I get that maybe Shi Eun might have treated him a little bit more respectful, like there was this scene where he said that it is not beom seoks fault for example. But other than that, Shi Eus was more clever, liked by others more and did not get ignored?

No, Germany. But what does my nationality have to do with it, when there are BL dramas all over the place?

Well, i expected something different, like a dumb shounen Drama. It was not that. However there is this one story part that makes very wary of the drama.

Isn't the underlying message: If you are gay you turn into a monster?
Boem Soek got jealous. He was constantly browsing Soo Ho's Insta, and he told Yoeng Yi that she was at fault, because he did not receive the same attention anymore. He did not want to be hugged by Soo Ho when he made his change, until he finally turned that jealousy into hate and anger.
Even if you make it only about "male friendship" would it not have the same message?

Who rules the world could have been that drama. The premise! In the novel was it described how they met for the first time, how the ML got to follow the FL. I think that stressed me out the most, that i never got the scene.

I sadly did not really vibe with "Love like the galaxy". I did like the second part more than the first. but i felt part 1 was way too long. And overall the actor of the ML was a huge let down to me. At some point i was screaming at the screen for the guy to please show any facial expression. I think he was way too young for the role. I really did not vibe with him at all.

I watched ep 16 and immediatly came here afterwards to understand what the fuck i just saw. Then i had a ten minute laughing fit because it was not a problem with me, but Editor-san managed to dunk the whole drama with just one episode. The show completely ruined. Ratings gone. I find that so hilarious, i can't stop laughing. All that money, completely wasted, the effort and time of the crew, completely trashed with basically no effort. In all my very long years of watching dramas, i have NEVER experienced anything like it.

I have episode 36 left, and i wonder if i should just never watch the last episode, so it will always sway in my heart between "This is eternally ongoing" and "this is finished"

i did not care, i just told the real life people anyway. Don't care if they suffer.

somehow i feel weird about this show. I feel they wanted to do something new and fresh, but they messed up the plot. There are weird cuts, the side characters do not feel consistend and natural and the story just does not go smoothly but feels forced. The aesthetics are kind of irritating, too. Like the flat of Qin Shi really does not feel like a place where she would be living. I fear this will fall apart in the middle. It's sad though, i really liked the leads

uhm, maybe spoiler?

i would love a korean remake, i already hoped they would do one, somehow in my head the aesthatic and plot feels already very similar to a korean drama
