Trust me I'm an adult. A very grown adult who also studied writing in college so no need to try to be condescending because you like a drama that I think is awful. That's not exactly a mature approach to a review.
I was wondering whether to post my comment or not since everything in your review practically screams - "I don't…
clearly you like this drama but I assure you I missed nothing. The writing was bad, simplistic, and repetitive. I assure you it didn't go over my head, it went under my taste level if anything. You should also use the spoiler button if you're going to go into detail about the little bit of story this drama has to offer. Speaking of dopamine... this drama produced the opposite effect on me. This drama was more Melatonin... because it was boring. I'm not sure what happened in your life that made this drama a reflection of "true love" but ****spoilers***** hiding from a man you had a fling with for several episodes instead of just coming clean about it is bad writing, sorry not sorry. Especially since I caught on that she was lying about who she was by episode 2 and couldn't figure out why I had to wait so long to finally learn why. Each relationship could have been presented and resolved in 2 episodes max, even the main one. I stand by my review and I said what I said. I could spend hours going over all the things that didn't work or make sense about this drama but I already gave it too much time out of my life. You're very adamant about liking it so I thought I'd let you know that I'm just as adamant about how much this drama missed the mark.
Wow! This drama really doesn’t age well but I’m still having fun rewatching it and still like Shi Yoon. It’s good if you’re in the mood for an old school drama.
I finally watched this movie after delaying it for so long. This is exactly my type of movie. I love slow-paced…
I agree with the multiple endings, although I loved the idea of Ben being a serial killer than no one but Jong Soo would ever suspect. My first idea is that Jong Soo's jealousy drove him to mistrust Ben from the start and that allowed him to see what no one else did. Ben knew this and that's why he "shared" his hobby with him and became interested. I think he may have found it "fun" to be seen by Joon Soo.
The second interpretation I agree with is that everything we see after him writing in Hae Mi's room is not real and it's how he resolves things in his head and finally has a story to tell... using Ben's burning metaphor literally.
Another interpretation could be that Hae Mi, completely depressed, decided to "disappear" like she mentioned and committed suicide. That means Ben is only guilty of not being concerned enough to care that she's gone.
I think all 3 are his way of escaping the guilt of his last exchange with Hae Mi. The first way is classic - revenge, which makes him physically sick - but allows him to drive away almost reborn. The second is through expressing himself through his writing, which he was struggling to find inspiration to do. The last is him transferring all the blame to Ben for manipulating her instead of taking responsibility for how he wasn't there for her.
I watched it twice now and my thoughts keep changing. That's what makes it so good!
As an overthinker, I’m super confused at the ending, I mean, if she’s trapped in the house, she couldn’t…
It's definitely messy but I saw it as the first ending being the scenario we saw from adult Seo Yeon's POV based on what she did and those chain of events. Seo Yeon's problem is she can't return to the past and hurt Yeong Suk, and she can't ignore her either. What she fails to do is find the current Yeong Sook, she just keeps trying to stop her in the past to prevent her from hurting anyone else but empowers her instead. Her biggest mistake is giving her the real info to stop her from getting caught. That's when everything changes and she is really free!
In the first ending, we see the mom and Yeong Sook appear dead from the fall at the end of that which gives Seo Yeon a chance to be saved (or escape), but we never see what happens after the fall, we only know the mom was hurt but survived.
It seems during that scenario that Yeong Sook who never got caught wakes up in a changed reality too, with perfected serial killer tendencies. Since Seo Yeon only remembers her original life she doesn't ever know exactly what has changed, I assume Yeong Sook is the same. Yeong Sook has to research what happened to change things and is able to warn herself that she could die before she actually dies (which would make the older version disappear once she dies). This is the one time both POVs/realities overlap.
The second ending is Yeong Sook's new timeline POV, which is separate from Seo Yeon's. This time she tells her young self to keep the phone with her no matter what which again gives her the upper hand to survive after the fall and kill the mom. Now Seo Yeon is sucked out of her happy ending and wakes up again in a reality she doesn't understand, but knows she can't escape Yeong Sook yet!
We never really see the details that lead to these new realities. That's the part that makes it more confusing, but also more interesting, at least to me.
