ok I heard you out, now imagine a scene completely out of context:
" A man follows a young woman quietly without alerting her of his presence, he watches intently as she feeds the neighborhood cats, he follows her back home and notes where she lives, the next day he comes back and buys an apartment that has a direct view into her house so that he can constantly keep an eye on her. He watches as she goes about her day and writes everything down online. She doesn't realize that he planned his whole life around her, he took his stats major because of her, he befriended another person like her, he left his job because of her, he started working at the grocery store to see her up close and now SHE is his life's biggest purpose...but the catch is that she barely knew who he was"

Now after reading this does it seem like a thriller with the criminal's POV or like a scientific experiment that is harmless? you tell me.

SK dramas always reuse certain scenes and there are a huge number of dramas/movies with fight scenes like these since decades in all regions....Theres no such thing as a fully unique drama and I think they added their own personal flair like @cyborg_89 commented.

They obliged to do the tour of the NIS because this is their last chance to retain their team, she is a civilian who got to know about their project, they threatened her before (these could get them in trouble if reported) and they need her help so why wouldn't they do whatever she asks as long as it isn't illegal?

Her accepting could be because she has a pretty strong sense of justice unlike the other teachers and i personally think that JHS wasn't as adamant about her signing it because he is literally the most valued agent whereas the others just piggy back off of his achievements, so they obviously need this mission to be successful more than he does, and he also personally knows her since they were kids so he def cares more about her safety than the rest of his team.

She probably always wanted to be a permanent teacher but I believe the bigger message is that she wants to do it without losing her morals (the student also says that we need more people like you and the same girl was accused of cheating)...Loads of people get motivation to continue doing what they do, due to seemingly meaningless things others tell them and i felt it was pretty normal

If you are talking about unrealistic there will obviously be unrealistic elements when you watch a spy movie where the 31yr old ML manages to pass for a hs student lmfao....But yeah i'll admit its not as realistic as it could have been

The reason why she assumes the worst of him is because she not only saw him drinking alcohol (while being a minor) but she also saw him beat up people (regardless of if they were bad ppl or not) so obviously she assumed he would be a bully....She also only noticed the bullying shortly after he came and if you add the fact that the grandma said his name her misunderstanding seems logical....

The real bully is part of the student council and is also quite influential so she probably hoped subconsciously that it wasn't him especially since she is a contract teacher (she's human afterall)

does anyone remember seeing how many years it has been since hae-seong's dad disappeared in the mission to find the gold bars/worked as a teacher?

Its either that they were busy with other events and that the whole thing gets ignored or that someone else saw this scene and they will come back later in future eps with evidence of them being together....There will probably be the classic pictures around school of them being intimate which will land her in trouble since she's a contract teacher and everyone thinks he is a student....If that happens i wonder what they'll do because its not like he can come out and say his real identity

My main issue with their relationship was how rushed it was considering she hasn't fully gotten over her ex, I felt like most of her attraction for him was influenced by her previous relationship (he is the opposite of her ex)....I agree that he is a huge green flag but she should have learned to love herself before dating again

And?

According to the manga i believe that after a few years (from the ending of s2) the two leads get married (they forget about borderland) and usagi gets pregnant and arisu is on his way to see her after she goes into labour but then he gets transported into borderland again and he remembers everything that happened while he was in borderland the previous time....I hope they change that plot though and make it so that usagi can go with him

Ngl i did read that people were disappointed with the cgi but i thought it was quite good tbh considering that its one of the first in its genre...the majority of budget probably went into casting because no one (let alone top stars) in their right mind would want to be a part of this otherwise

Ok i did not know that but it makes it more annoying that she degraded eve to just giving birth and it honestly overshadowed her whole career and life....

So you're telling me that the fact that she magically got pregnant in outer space, the fact that the statement "Everyone in the planet should just have babies", the glorification of morulas, the multiple births and the glorification of birth (not denying its magically but the excessive reference to it), the clips of random babies , and him calling her a murderer for terminating the sample is not propaganda? well i beg to differ. The alternate endings you talk about are either happy with baby or orphan baby and I think that if they weren't promoting birth they would have given a third ending: "they go back to earth after terminating the pregnancy because it is not safe for either the mother or child."

I dont know if this is politics or not but it is undeniable that the message they are trying to send glorifies certain ideologies and it just so happens the country that made this drama seems to have a crisis related to it on their hands (I just think everything thing fits too well. nothing else.)

My personal conspiracy theory is that they killed eve in the end because she "killed" the morulas, maybe its a message that abortion is bad and that "murderers" get payback...its almost like they want to send the message that those who choose abortion are just murderers who don't deserve to live happily.

this show was no doubt propaganda to increase birth rates in SK and i felt more sure about it in the end when they played the baby videos and kang gang su says " everyone should just start making babies like wtf? "

see i don't think she's that guilt free
1) she revealed the nature of yujin's "death" to her mother hours after her disappearance
2) a few hours after her mom warned her to be quiet she goes to YJ's room to try on her clothes
3) Despite her mother telling her to forget about it i think normal ppl have a guilty conscience but SY is only afraid of being exposed and not her actions

really? i felt jiseok was just as useless because throughout his revenge it seems he did not even properly research shin-yeojin which is wild considering that his whole life was leading up to that sole purpose of revenge...I honestly only like eunchong he is loyal to those he loves and he is open about his thoughts, what more could you want?

i don't think thats true because se-young's mother started acting sociopathic after she "killed" yujin. seyoung already shows signs of being mentally ill since a young age because she literally saw her cousin dying and decided to pretend she knew nothing and then proceeded to wear her dead cousin's clothes. That is NOT A NORMAL CHILD!
Although her mother may have had a huge hand in the degree of psychotic seyoung is, i personally think she was always a rotten apple...yujin was willing to give her anything and she seemed like a sweet friend but seyoung has no problem forgetting she exists and has no guilty conscience

my blood was literally boiling after hearing se-young laugh like that ughh! why does she think she's any different from hana? she is also a cheap substitute for yujin in yeojin's eyes and atleast hana is oblivious to everything else
se-young is literally a sociopath because normal ppl dont imagine torturing others without being jilted first

They may have lost their parents but she lost her entire family as well and although you can't compare the loss of a child to that of a parent you'd have to agree that they have all been through a lot.

I never said what she did was right but it is something large corps often do and she isn't the only one doing it, jiseok wanting to get revenge for what she did is understandable but it makes him a hypocrite if he does that because indirectly some other kid may lose their parents, which essentially makes him the same as shin yeojin.

If the sister truly saw hana as her sister she would have asked jiseok to come stay with them (and if my memory is right she never asked hana to move in with her only the youngest brother) rather than ditching hana the second he came back successful, besides why did she leech of hana for so many years if she cared more about her brother? this once again proves my point that she is an opportunist that will jump ship based on what is beneficial. And although she was 12 then she was old enough to remember that hana quit school and started working non stop to send jiseok and the other 2 to school, and this memory at the very least should have prompted her to be more caring (rather than just showing up once in a blue moon and providing money/wrecking a car).....If providing money signified any affection then aren't you contradicting yourself about Shin YJ's mindset being bad?....

Wrecking the ex's car is just one instance but theres many others where she is an opportunist ( she moves out, meets jiseok without informing hana, tells brother to not tell hana, suddenly gets close to her when chairwoman claims her as her daughter,etc. ) and 12 is an age where you aren't as impressionable the values you have already been taught will still stay in your head at that age and she was old enough to know right from wrong (yujin went through a lot more at a younger age but turned out fine which is another reason why i think she was raised well )

The sister is also an adult and although she hasn't done anything on the same scale as chairwoman it could also be attributed to the fact that she is poor and has little to no influence, in this drama all the "bad" people have money......

Idk what jiseok is trying to achieve though because by destroying shin yeojin's company all he is doing is getting rid of the livelihoods of hundreds and thousands of workers and that makes him a hypocrite....Him thinking he knows whats best for hana makes him the same type as hwang jingoo and shin yeojin

THAT SEEMS LIKELY...Because from what we've seen so fa myeng ji shows classic signs of being a sociopath (she didn't bother to look for yu-jin, she killed yu-jin, she happily lives with her greiveing mother and so on) whereas YJ seems more down to earth (she cares about her employees and asks hana about her thoughts, she used to let Myeongji stay at her house and even let her niece inherit everything, she cared about eunchong even before she knew who he was and she seems more naive) so maybe she was victim to another one of myeongji's lies

thats her strategy but why should that be wrong? she is ethically wrong but this is something most large corporations around us indulges in and i think it should just be seen as a questionable means not as murder
