Probably how they met in the first timeline

I don't understand why that choice was made in the first place. The story is complex enough to be explored for a longer duration. I really don't get it 😭

While I'm eager to see their story unfold in the original timeline and learn how they first met, I hope they don't drag it out until the final episode. I'd really like us to get to the present sooner! 😭

Just a quick note: your theory is great, but it might be better to keep it under wraps for someone who hasn’t started the show yet. Even with a spoiler tag, the user will naturally open it because it's under their comment and they were only asking if the show is worth watching, not for detailed theories which are full of spoilers.

That's a good point 🤔 this show is wrecking my brains

It depends on your preference. It’s a dark mystery that requires you to really engage your mind if you want to fully understand it but it's definitely worth it if you are into that.

I'm also thinking that targeting the mom would cause the dad to suffer, which is likely what she wants—to make him experience the pain of losing his family, just like she did.

I thought about this too, it suggests balance is inevitable, no matter the choices made. It operates on the idea that every action has consequences that mirror the intent and weight of it. To me it’s like a cosmic scale balancing the outcomes of one timeline with another. The principle essentially asserts that no matter how we try to alter the course of events, the universe demands a sort of equilibrium, where gains in one area may lead to losses in another.

He either dies or his heart starts beating again and he wakes up

Oh god, I hadn't thought of that, but I really hope it doesn't turn out that way 😭. I do believe Korn loves Tonkla, but his need for validation from his father seems even stronger.

I've been analyzing the relationship between Korn and Great for a while now, and there's a lot to unpack. From the very first episode, it was clear that their bond was incredibly strong. At first, I thought Korn might just be putting on an act, pretending to be the caring brother, but by the time I reached episode five, it became evident that his love for Great is genuine. Korn acts as a protective barrier between Great and the darker aspects of their family life, and I don't think we fully appreciate the extent of his sacrifice to keep Great safe from all of this. When Korn tells Great, "You don't have to do it, just live comfortably," he's expressing his willingness to shoulder all the burdens and pain to ensure that Great can live a peaceful life, all while keeping his own hands clean from the family’s bloodshed.

Korn's role in the family is complex. He clearly craves his father's affection, and there's likely some jealousy towards Great due to the favoritism their parents show. However, despite these feelings, his love and protective instincts towards Great overpower any resentment.

Also the way they were raised seems to have been very different. Korn was clearly groomed to be the one who could get his hands dirty, allowing Great to remain untouched by the family's darker dealings. It’s apparent that their parents are prepared to sacrifice Korn, not just because they trust him more (which they undoubtedly do), but also because they want him to bear the weight of the family's sins.

Some viewers argue that Great betrayed his brother for selfish reasons, but I see it differently. Great is 21 now, and he's trying to correct the mistakes of the past. In the first timeline, I highly doubt that Great intentionally betrayed him. We see Tyme stealing from Great, something he wouldn't do if Great were still on his side, which suggests that he might have been forced into a difficult position. If Great does betray Korn in the second timeline, it's likely because something went wrong when he was aligned with Korn, or perhaps he's trying to make the morally right choice this time around, a choice he failed to make in the first timeline.

Their brotherly connection is deep and nuanced, and I hope it won't be completely shattered as the series progresses. There's a delicate balance between love, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of their family dynamics that makes their bond both beautiful and tragic.

He isn't in a coma but he's in cardiac arrest. His brain is surviving for four minutes after his heart has stopped, during which he relives his past life and tries to correct his mistakes.

I just noticed that the poster has Tyme and Great upside down, which subtly hints at a parallel second timeline, something that was right in front of us before episode 1 even aired. Now I'm really intrigued to see whether they'll incorporate a supernatural twist to merge the timelines or if they'll take a more scientific approach and suggest everything was just in Great's mind. I can't even decide which direction I'd prefer.

I understand now. I realized I was too heated when I made that comment about b****, which is why I didn’t reply to them. They just bring out some bad reactions in me, so I’ll admit that. But yeah, arguing with them is pretty useless, as you said.

I think the timing of your comment made it seem like you agreed with the fandom being crazy because of their opinions, and that’s why I misinterpreted it and chose to block you before. I’m glad that wasn’t the case because I really enjoy the comments you make about the show. Either way, you made some very good points about the sexualization of the actors and everything else, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain what I misread in your comment.

I’m really excited to see how their first meeting in the original timeline plays out because I’m expecting it to be quite different from the second timeline. From what I’ve gathered, their initial relationship seems like it’s going to be clouded by secrecy and dishonesty. I had a hint of this when I saw Tyme stealing something from Great in the trailer. It hints that Tyme’s motives were far from straightforward from the start.

The message from the cup in Episode 3 now makes more sense in this context. It seems like Tyme was trying to apologize or make amends, something tells me that he might have played a role in Great’s cardiac arrest in the original timeline.

Lmao, that was a quick turnaround from block to unblock! I realize now that I might have misinterpreted your points as more aggressive than you intended, so that’s on me. I agree that comments like those are definitely odd. I assumed you meant “in detail” in a different way when you mentioned explicit analysis.

Overall, I find myself agreeing with most of what you said. The only point where I still disagree is regarding the comments about *you know who*. I brought him up once, and things escalated quickly, but before that, at least ten other people mentioned him without any issue, so it does feel a bit personal 😭. Either way, I apologize for misreading your other points, I blocked you based on those but since I read them wrong, there is no need for that since I'm sure I'll encounter some problematic people soon enough, however you are still free to block me of course.

The drama yesterday wasn’t centered on him specifically, it was more about people’s concerns regarding Tonkla or the screentime. Despite that, I'll address it and say his name doesn't come up daily. I mentioned him once a few days ago, and a few others did as well because of the ongoing issues, not to stir up unnecessary drama. But I censored his name because yes it’s unpleasant for some, but let’s not forget there’s always the block button.

You claim that people are speculating about actors' sexualities, but I haven't seen any of that here. If it happened, either it’s old news or I haven't came across them. And as for disrespect towards Sammon or other actors, I haven’t noticed any offensive comments but I'll agree with you on these two points.

Regarding the NC scenes, the discussions aren’t about graphic details for shock value, they’re about analyzing the deeper meaning behind each action. It’s a legitimate form of discussion, and given the explicit nature of the scenes, the analysis will naturally reflect that. Even Bible himself has pointed out the importance of these scenes and the need to pay attention to them, so dismissing such analysis as inappropriate misses the point entirely.

Now, about yesterday’s drama, I stayed out of it because, frankly, it was exhausting, and it’s frustrating that the MDL app still shows posts from blocked users. But I had to deal with it anyway. What I find troubling is the decision to label an entire fandom as “crazy” just because someone's focus doesn’t align with theirs. That’s not only dismissive but also hypocritical, especially when someone is asking for respect and consideration.

If we’re talking about safe spaces, they should apply to everyone, not just to those who agree with their perspective.

In the end, this argument is reaching a point where it’s no longer making sense. No hard feelings, but I’m going to block you for now. I’ll likely unblock you in a few days when I encounter a more problematic user since my block list is full. If you feel the need, you’re welcome to block me as well by that time.

Mommy coming to slay with sweetness 👀❤

Even the NC scenes are full of detail, they highlight the contrast between Jesbible's sweet awkwardness and the intense acts with Tonkla so well.

I understand that some people might find the romantic scenes between Jes and Bible a bit awkward, and that's a valid perspective since it's all subjective. However, I personally think that the awkwardness is intentional. It’s not because the actors lack chemistry—off-screen, their dynamic is actually quite chaotic and lovely. Instead, I believe it’s a deliberate acting choice directed by the director.

Great, for instance, seems inexperienced in love. At 21, he comes across as a typical rich kid who might be more familiar with casual flings than real emotional connections. On the other hand, Tyme has been so consumed with revenge throughout his life that love likely wasn't on his mind. Even if he did think about love, it wouldn't be this complicated—falling for the son of the people who killed his family must be incredibly conflicting for him. This inner struggle likely contributes to the awkwardness we see on screen.

Great’s situation isn’t much easier either. He’s falling for the man who plans to imprison his parents. Even though he despises what his parents did, it’s not an easy situation to navigate. Their recent argument, the tension between them, and everything being revealed has only added to the awkwardness. And even before he knew who Tyme was, Great was already having intense sexual images about him in his head, which probably made things uncomfortable for him from the start.
