Lee Si Young is badass as always, and damn those muscles!

And who keeps complaining about the show they don't like. Like I can see you in almost every post, complaining...

That was exactly my thought watching this! But this one is executed much better than the Netflix one, although still requires some really huge suspension of disbelief

The bouquet scene during his first day high school ceremony was sus. So I guessed that she already died by then. But I didn't expect them to reveal the twist that soon, before half-point mark of the movie. Heartbreaking nevertheless though, esp at the end when it was revealed that the dad was the one who drove the freight train

At first I thought she's his imagination but she found and brought back the trophy and the exam id which suggests that she's more than just his imagination

Yes, comedic acting needs a natural feel and good timing and unfortunately, the actress didn't have that nailed down yet. Not saying she's a bad actress, I've watched her movie before and thought that she was a good actress there and her acting felt more natural...
Also just looked up the screenwriter and now I understand why the show has such a big Fiery Priest's vibes to it

Just finished ep 1 and I shared that opinion.
Her character reminds me of Lee Honey in The Fiery Priest, but in contrast I didn't find Lee Honey annoying in that show, she could subdue her comical acting before it became borderline annoying. Meanwhile here, it feels like the actress is trying too hard to be comical. Good to hear there's still hope going forward

I feel like the second half is trying too hard to be intense and action-packed. Subsequently leading to more glaring plotholes or characters doing something stupid just to amp the tension. The first half also had its own shares of plotholes, but I feel like they were minor enough that I easily forgot about them.
Also the heist that they pulled in the latest episodes were kinda straightforward (I'm still in the mid of episode 14 btw), I just missed the twist and turns they pulled in the earlier episodes. I still find it entertaining enough to watch, the action is great, etc. but tbh it lacked the subtlety. Just my opinion.

For someone who said it's not about gender, your comments on this page give a different impression. You particularly honed in/complained on how perfect the FEMALE lead is. You didn't seem to complain when the same plot convenience is 'given' to the MALE character. Yes, I'm saying 'given'... Also since it took you 6 months to come up with a comeback, I forgot the exact scene where this happened, so don't ask for me for the scene...

I know that this push for a strong female character can rub people in the wrong way. I also didn't like it when the character doesn't show any flaws or just appears to be perfect and therefore not showing any character growth, which, if I remember correctly, was not the case here as the story progresses. Also, you are using k-dramas as your standards, where the main leads are 95% of the time is a "genius" in one field or another. And often have this impeccable timing of showing up at the right place to conveniently save the day, it just happened that for this drama it was the FEMALE lead who saved the day instead of the MALE lead.

This is a really good thriller. However, I was so annoyed at that moment when she confronted her about killing the strawberry farm guy and the shaman mother, especially after talking to the owner of the snack shop about how she was also almost got killed if not for the shaman mother. I know they're using this as the plot point to ramp up the thriller part, but honestly, I'm still annoyed that the character had to do something that stupid -__-

I wish...

I feel like Ravi is probably the one who's going to leave first since he still has the do the military service...

oh come on all of your comments just sound nit-picky. You seem to dislike how the writer is making the female characters more capable than the usual k-dramas. All the other k-dramas usually have the ML getting 'carried' too you know, as you put it. I lost count how many times I watched dramas that have the ML being millions miles away, but can conveniently arrives just in time to save the FL. Now when the FL does that, it's being called 'carried'. smh.
Admittedly this drama has quite a few of plot conveniences and it has too many flashback scenes in first few episodes that made it confusing. But again it's a drama not a documentary about the lives of soldiers at the DMZ, if you want the plot to move forward then you have to expect plot convenience here and there. And for once it's given to the FL, just deal with it.

lol. Good thing I ended up just sticking w/ reading papers related to this instead of continued watching. They have all the tools to make this work as pure sci-fi, but ruining it by trying too hard to be like Dark with the time-loop while not keeping everything consistent.

I have question about this. Did TaeYi finally use her physics research/knowledge to stop the time travel at all? Up to episode 7 or 8, I was still hoping that they will keep doing their physics homework and made Tae Yi figured out how to use dark energy to close the wormhole that leads to her own universe (the timeline we are mainly watching). But looks like it becomes 95% fiction w/ only a little bit science?

I'm stopping by to see how it ends. I stopped watching after the chuseok break,.. I guess it's good that I ended up just using my brain for my work rather than figuring out this drama >_< gah it has so many potential at the beginning but got spoiled by the need felt by writer/director (I guess?) to insert melodramas/forced romance

I think anyone can change it as long as you time travel to the past and change something. The Alice clients did that.
Perhaps now MH knows what happen in the current universe/timeline, he wants to solve that first? I agree with what you said about him going back to 1992 and stay with TY will solve all his problems though

actually, no need to take my word for it.... The SG wiki fandom page did better job explaining this than me: https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Alternate_timeline

SG sets the rules for parallel universes early on, and any time traveling will result in alternative timelines/creation of another parallel universe with different history/future. I can't recall all of the episodes related to this, but there's one episode where the SG team travels back in time to ancient Egypt, fought with Ra, and caused him to take the Stargate w/ him and we ended up with the creation of another universe where the Stargate program was never established in the first place.

They don't come up with their own laws, they're basically using quantum physics interpretation to explain it and I honestly haven't found fault with it. Which quantum physics principles they violated exactly? They're using many universes interpretation to explain this.
Dark is an awesome show but the time travel has one major flaw: everything is a bootstrap paradox. The whole family just magically exists, we don't question where they come from because the chain is too long to track. What makes it look like an awesome time travel show is because the writer is excellent in keeping everything consistent between all future/past timelines and I think that's Dark's greatest strength, it's not its time travel mechanism. It'll crumble under the law of physics because it violates the law of entropy and causality.
[caveat: Alice has plot holes here and there, but their time travel mechanism is based on physics hypotheses/theorems - not something they randomly make up]
