I do think it was leading toward thua taking such a strong stance. and I think the pursuit of truth makes sense for him. but the explosiveness was unexpected for me. I think I would’ve been more satisfied if 1) akk’s sexuality was left out of the discussion in front of the whole school and 2) everything wasn’t just placed on akk’s shoulders so squarely. it was all half truths at first. I hope thua apologizes next episode because I do think akk deserves an apology, regardless of if the relationship is being covered up by a BL filming project. it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. ANYWAYS I’m done complaining. can’t wait to see how the final episode goes!

tbh my biggest issue is that thua decided everything for everybody in the end AND outted akk. he literally outted akk. it’s great that his friends said they didn’t care about who he loved but that isn’t the point. thua announced it to EVERYBODY. the school administrators, the students. in an extremely homophobic environment. and he never has to apologize for it.

love this show, but I’m very disappointed in episode 11. it felt so sudden and out of character to me. nobody really called thua out for his hypocrisy AND outting akk like that in front of EVERYBODY. there’s only one episode left and I just can’t see myself “forgiving” thua before the end. maybe in the novel it made more sense, and I’ll probably read it just to see, but it made little sense for me this episode. it wasn’t just even akk who continued the curse. it was thua and namo too. thua pretending his lying was self righteous was frustrating. he made direct threats and caused visceral harm and fear but that was apparently excusable to him. he wasn’t even going to own up to it himself. the bizarre outburst and hypocrisy seemed to conflict with his characterization up until that point. I’m so sad.

I’ve been an akk lover and apologist from the beginning. He’s been struggling and so alone this whole time and this situation just felt so cruel to me.

It's devastating. The tragedy in this drama is almost too much to take. The knife, the lack of communication, the lack of involvement from police or other parties. I truly think the loop that we see in this series is an early, confused, and tragic one. I have to believe that better choices are made in future iterations or that it has in an earlier time loop but that we don't get to see the outcome of that one.

It's just such a tragic time loop to exist in. They could've been repeating this for several loops already. I am going to pretend that in one of the previous loops something changed and another version of them got to properly live life together.

I got my hopes up. I am still crying.

I was really holding out for a truly happy ending. Maybe calling the cops prior to getting stabbed. SOMETHING. I don't regret watching this series and I'll definitely end up watching it again, but it was gut wrenching. I'm still so curious about the woman at the front desk. I'm just. I think I need some time to process it all. I'm too emotionally devastated for this.

I knew the last two episodes were gonna make me cry, but damn.

I'm totally there with you!! I'm so impatient for these final two episodes to drop. Fingers crossed we get to see the happy ending they deserve!

Ah thank you!!!

ALSO I'm SO curious about the woman at the front desk. She knows what's going on and her emphasis on when the dorm closes and her knowing smile in the first episode makes me hopeful that maybe there is an alternate, happier ending that could happen here. Also, she just gave him the key immediately???

It's devastating to me that his going back in time is what gave Ji Hoon's killer the knife. It seems as though time has already accounted for Jae Woo's travel through time, so I'm curious to see if the end result changes.

I'm also curious - maybe I missed it - but did Jae Woo remember being yelled at by himself as a child? Does he remember being warned away from the dorm? I feel like that's something I would never forget, so maybe that's a deviation that was previously unaccounted for? I don't know. I guess I'm just enjoying this short little series a LOT more than I thought I was going to.

I'm so in love with the OST. That music that plays while he's searching and exploring is so unsettling and pretty; it's been playing on loop in my head lately. I'm so excited for the final two episodes but I'm also so nervous!! I'm desperate for a happy ending. I'm a sucker for love that transcends time and reality. Regardless, I know for a fact episodes 7 and 8 are going to make me cry.

This series is an absolute delight. Just what I needed after watching so many devastating bl dramas.
