Updated: corrected the year 2049 to 2091 (also corrected Section 6). I remembered incorrectly the year the Ghost…
Your analysis is great but doesn't explain the following two time travel paradoxes that look more like plot holes.
The first one is that the Ghost can't be in a hundred time lines simultaneously because she is the same person holding the same device and the same implant. Sae Ha took her time travel device and her implant and left her at 2021.
She met her again back in 1997, where she was trying to install the Grid and by preventing her from installing it, he made her disappear causing a completely different version of the word from 2005 and onward, the destroyed one that needs a time travel and a Grid in order to prevent its destruction. So her disappearance means that in the destroyed version of the world. the Ghost lady doesn't even exist, and that is the reason why she disappears in the past, though her "presence" is needed in order to travel back in time to attempt to install the Grid.
But even if she succeeded, she wouldn't be needed in the first place, to travel back in time to install the Grid again and again in a time loop, because the world would have been going on normally and even in the case that the Grid failed at some future point, the Ghost shouldn't go that far back in time, at 1997 to install it again, as the first time that she did so was enough to give them the information and the technology that they needed to fix the Grid even if it failed.
So to conclude. There are two versions of the world. 1/The normal one with the Grid that was installed by someone who came from a destroyed world, installed it and gave them this way the information to save the world. But if the world wasn't destroyed the time traveler wouldn't have a reason to go back and save the world in the first place.
And
2/ The destroyed world without the Grid that needs someone from the destroyed world to go back and install it. But if the time traveler fails to install the Grid then she disappears so probably she doesn't exist in the destroyed world.
In the first case scenario she has no reason to travel back in time. In the second case scenario she doesn't even exist in order to do so.
Why did I have the notion that he was already married...? lol ( I have obviously lost completely the plot with their marriages... ha ha ha ) Anyway. Congratulations!
One of the best review I read! (with mine, ofc, ahah).
Thank you but I didn't write it as a review in the first place, because this drama has so many reviews already. It is just my opinion about a drama that I liked but I'm still not that certain why I liked it. loool From the technical aspect point of view is not that good. But it is a case study of how the actors can impact a production when they like the concept. It is like watching some kind of live improvising theater performance, that works because the actors interact so well. The SL couple in particular were sooo good that they cast them on their own drama. You know... the sexy, insecure and somewhat cynical due to her experiences woman, with the aloof and inexperienced hot guy. She is trying to seduce him and he runs to hide because he doesn't know how to deal with her though he likes her making her banging her head on the wall... loooool
WHAT??!!! WTF was that latex prosthetic make up that Lin Xiang removed from his face at the 17th minute of the movie?! Latex make up prosthetics were first appeared at the Wisard of Oz 1939 Hollywood movie as a rather experimental ( and somewhat failed ) showing off of the high budget of that production because they were that much expensive to make them.
Prosthetics of that kind were unknown in the rest of the world, let alone available to the whatever Chinese agents at 1937's occupied by Japanese Shanghai. Also the airplane mode jumps in fighting scenes are a bit off for such a kind of drama.
1. "Time doesn't flow"- I am suspecting that they're using the real-world theory that the "all time is 'present…
I don't doubt that is a real scientific theory. It is that I'm an artist and I'm not particularly interested in scientific matters. But my opinion about time is the one above. And even if Time did exist it wouldn't be linear but spiral. Because our planet that we use as the standard to count our time ( invention) is spiraling in the universe. It doesn't make circles neither goes straight. So the spot theory wouldn't be applicable in this case. But Time doesn't exist at all. Talking about spirals Nature generally speaking, doesn't like Geometry, straight lines, perfect circles and ellipses, cones and squares. These are also inventions for our convenience. The Universe btw is made by energy and not by matter. There is no such thing as Matter. We are made of energy and we possess the ability to receive, process, produce and give out energy. Our thoughts are made by biochemical energy.
1. "Time doesn't flow"- I am suspecting that they're using the real-world theory that the "all time is 'present…
Interesting theory that it could be valid if Time existed in the first place. But time doesn't actually exists ( and this my theory) because it is not actually needed in the Universe. It is us that we created the idea of Time because we are the ones who have a limited life length and we need to count our days in this place that we live ( this planet). What is the purpose of Time in the context of an immortal, infinite non ending universe? None.
I just watched ep 6 and i'm so confused. So she is from the future? But why is she in their time, and what does…
Don't break your mind because Time doesn't actually exist in the first place! So it is not the time that passes. We are those who pass through Times...! ( an inspired piece of early morning Philosophy while I see the BS finale of this drama coming! ) looool
I'm currently watching this drama and I wouldn't say that I can feel about the guy that jumped ( or fell ) from the crane. If anything else this looks to me as a pure psychological blackmail towards Jin Sang Pil, his son and his colleagues. At the end of the day, no matter what were their living conditions it was for their benefit to have one of their colleagues being a successful and approved from the voters assembly man. Even though he abandoned the demonstrations or the strike, getting into the Assembly was the most effective way to support their causes. Anyway.. this whole thing had a very high WTF factor! lol
You are spot on. I looked up to see who he is. His performance is incredible. It is to wonder why they don't cast…
Yes... S. Korean actors when they are good they are very good. Those who are usually the best are those who play the second and third roles and that because they play characters and they don't mind to mess up their faces, something that you won't see on the actors and actresses that are cast in the first roles.
The first one is that the Ghost can't be in a hundred time lines simultaneously because she is the same person holding the same device and the same implant.
Sae Ha took her time travel device and her implant and left her at 2021.

So her disappearance means that in the destroyed version of the world. the Ghost lady doesn't even exist, and that is the reason why she disappears in the past, though her "presence" is needed in order to travel back in time to attempt to install the Grid.
But even if she succeeded, she wouldn't be needed in the first place, to travel back in time to install the Grid again and again in a time loop, because the world would have been going on normally and even in the case that the Grid failed at some future point, the Ghost shouldn't go that far back in time, at 1997 to install it again, as the first time that she did so was enough to give them the information and the technology that they needed to fix the Grid even if it failed.
