Yes the show forgot about the bodyguard for some reason? I liked his relationship with TS! What I meant was that from the start, the show's been introducing many mysteries and unanswered questions so having more of that in ep6 has become an expected pattern haha. " I'm confused if this is time traveling or parallel universes?" I've been thinking about that as well. Many comments are saying it's definitely a time loop (IA). But after the cup breaking with the EMP and photo in ep6, it seems like it can be a parallel universe? Because how did SH manage to do that??
After 6 eps, there are still directional decisions I don't enjoy but the story is getting more interesting. I liked what they did in ep5 of slowing everything down so TS and SH can bond and know each other better. They're the main reason why I'm still watching the drama tbh!
I think the problem with the first 4 eps was that they introduced too many mysteries and questions and jumped right into action hoping that viewers will stick around for the answers but the revelations came a bit too late (not everyone is patient enough). And they didn't lay out the bases/rules of the show's world early on.
It looks like they intended to have the payoff in ep6 and that mostly worked since it's the best ep so far (even though it also introduced a new set of questions. I don't mind that because I understand that this is how the show works now). But by that time, many viewers either gave up on the show or are quickly losing interest (I guess with a show like that, binging it is better that watching it while it's airing).
That's just my opinion as someone who rarely watches sci fi/fantasy shows haha
Maybe I missed something, but can someone explain what his ex is doing in ep6? What are the pills she's giving him making up unable to breath and why did she change the date and everything then ask him later about the key exposing her plan?? I'm a bit confused...
Because I lowered my expectations for this drama, it became more watchable. I enjoyed episode 5 even though it was slow and had some annoying errors (like the CB failing to find the leads after causing a scene in a busy intersection, unless they did and will show that in episode 6?).
At this point, I'm watching it for the leads dynamics and I don't care about the logic and I don't mind the cliches.
I saw the making too and I'm confused as to why many car scenes were filmed in green screen. Was that necessary?…
Exactly. If it's overused because of the huge budget, it can show sometimes. And it did in the unlikely places, like some random car scenes. Many production decisions for this drama are strange. Idk what happened...
Another thing. You should check the drama making, I was surprised to find that most of the drama scenes are film…

Episode 4 is relatively the best but still.....I feel sorry for the actors because they're the strongest part of the show hands down. But their performance is overshadowed by everything else not being well executed. I can suspend my disbelief and ignore illogical errors especially because this isn't my favorite genre so I don't care. But at least make it pleasing to watch. Why include silly and tacky camera shots or unnecessary cgi. It's all outdated tbh. And takes A LOT away from the actors's work (even though yes I know they still chose to do it with that weak script which is strange.....can it really get better? Who knows) I'll still stick around only for the main leads dynamic but to be honest, it's sometimes painful to watch.
So far, I'm only watching this for the main leads because their dynamic is enjoyable (it was so funny seeing him being thrown around and passing out lol. He's nailing this role). Other than that, the plot hasn't interest me just yet. Maybe they should've introduced the time travel/brokers/control bureau info a bit earlier in a clearer way?
Honestly the thing that bothered me is not the plot or unbelievably stupid things that happen sometimes but the…
I agree. I surprisingly didn't mind the "stupid things" or the plot or even the fighting scene as much as the music (I hate it so much!) and some directing choices. Because I can tolerate a fantasy-genre show and an unrealistic action scene if it's technically done well. The cinematography and lighting are beautiful though.
After watching the second episode I think I'll drop it for now. Maybe wait until it's over. It didn't capture my attention and I hated some parts here and there. There are many strange lines and moments. I love csw and that makes more disappointed tbh. oh well...
It's too early to judge the show on it's first episode but it's not bad so far depending on what you expected. I don't enjoy this genre. I prefer realistic dramas with a serious tone. So to me, I enjoyed most of it while suspending my disbelief. So far, I see it as a light sci-fi show that you can enjoy for what it is. If I had fun in those 60 or so minutes, it's enough for me lol. Even if it's a cliche, that doesn't make it the worst thing ever. So for now, I'll enjoy it for what it is. The major strength of this 1st episode was the acting. It's the reason why I decided to watch and it might be the reason why I'll keep doing so. And even if it doesn't end up great, I liked that csw chose a part that is different from his previous roles. Because some actors can be stuck doing the same roles which is boring.
and one last thing, that song in the fields was so bad and badly placed in the scene I don't want to hear it again omg!
