woah the Deja vu the second time we see her she was looking for Ja In in the water, it’s the feeling I had at the end of inception when he didn’t know what was real in his dreams
I keep rewinding and feel like I need to pay closer attention to her shirt and other details this is like being trapped in a video game, unable to win at any level and the genre is transitioning from disaster to science fiction to mystery to crime to thriller back to science fiction —I find that aspect of the storytelling style interesting, since we don’t usually see stories told in that structure
but Dami’s performance still outshined edit: never mind I I’m actually so invested in this now 🫨🤯 just hoping the ending works for me I’m getting closer to the end now
wait what did he mean he “came here”, “he’s somewhere waiting for you to come to him” is he the grown up son? is she his mom somehow? edit: that probably makes no sense, but idk they didn’t really explore this
okay now I’m confused again… her telling that man to send her and her son’s memories in… are they ai memories? I’m getting black mirror vibes 😮
wow so they ARE the memories of real people, or maybe she’s really trapped in her memories? as new bodies are being created, wondering about other new humans being created? so many questions and so much we did not see, kind of love and hate the open ending simultaneously, I do remember something about them mentioning people chose to be apart of the experiment though. (And I did start to feel emotional connected to the mother and son near the end of the second half)
Ok know what’s going on now, but I still having questions about other characters that appeared. Because of certain unanswered questions about other humans and HaeSoo’s character, I’m unable to see it as a perfect, but blown away by this experience, so instead maybe a 7.5-8/10. This was so close to being a masterpiece like Light Shop. It had potential, but who knows how this could’ve been as a mini series, exploring the questions that weren’t directly unanswered.Maybe they just wanted to leave the rest for our imagination. Definitely gets you thinking…
He is ....its obvious he haven't moved on, remember the shirt.(is this drama writter by a women??)
Many do the opposite, showing the male lead as more experienced taking the lead in kissing and intimate scenes… so many kdramas do this. You’re assuming just because they don’t mention their exes, they have none? A few examples: It’s Okay to Not be Okay Destined With You King the Land Dynamite Kiss Her Private life
many more I can’t think of right now… you’re the one assuming because male lead exes aren’t mentioned sometimes, they have none, but you don’t believe the same when female leads exes are not mentioned, and you ignore male leads behaving experienced during intimate scenes and spew nonsense about most of them being pure virgins with no evidence (which wouldn’t matter anyway, because there are plenty of female leads that are portrayed as pure virgins as well, but you don’t complain about virgin female leads)
Male Leads with exes before romance with the female leads: I remember an ex in Another Miss Oh, Backstreet rookie, Mad for Each Other, and in Destined with You he’s still with her before getting with the FL. I’m sure there’s more too.

This is incorrect, unless you’re skipping scenes.
Also they haven’t even shown them have sex in present day. How can he be a dildo? 🤣 Strange obsession with sex, when the drama hasn’t even shown any sex at all.
If he was shagging other women, it would take exactly 30 seconds of screen time to establish that,just 30 seconds.If…
Oh now you’re talking about the characters? They didn’t show either character “shagging” other people. They did not spend hours on the FL with other relationships either.
Nobody here said they shag around or demand a virgin man… so again no evidence, just assumptions. This thread doesn’t have anyone pretending to be a victim either.
Men only do 2 things. They either rape the woman they like or wait for that woman until their deathbed. They don't…
Honestly they’ve failed both genders in many romance kdramas. A lot of romance writes female characters stereotypically. Watched countless damsel female characters with no agency, as self insert type of characters, in the past.
Recent kdramas have made me to feel like korean drama writer have forgotten how people in love behave , I am so…
There is no one way to portray “people in love”. Some people are avoidant and self destructive.That’s the reality of life.
The drama is self aware and portraying the leads consequences of codependency and alcoholism, rather than just showing it as a joke. I will say the male lead does not wait to be be used. He expressed he is mad at her leaving him without explanation in their 20s. He’s only around in present day because of the request her sisters with health issues made, and he still cares. Not everyone behaves healthy in love. Some aren’t even sure they are in love because they’ve never felt it from their own parents. Female lead is in denial about her true feelings. She was actually trying to run away again, which is the opposite of using.

That’s up to you. You don’t have to. I’m sure the story will develop into her making the right choice this time, putting her own life above her family’s wants. She’ll have face what she did and admit how wrong it was. Humans can learn and change. And he will have to heal from his resentment as well. Humans can forgive people. The story is about more than romance.

Even if they have, within a marriage, with one person, is the opposite of “shagging” around.
