Yep, I'm willing to put money on this, this is totally going to happen, the plot is proving to be hella predictable so far

same

There was one picture on the wall in Hye Won's home which showed her father wearing a white lab coat, standing with a bunch of kids, it was shown for a second only. Secondly, Hye Won's father was also on Jung Woo's personal suspect wall at the very end of the second episode. My guess is that Hye Won's father was one of the scientists conducting experiments on kids which awakened powers in some of the children. Also, I suspect that the drug dealer Ajhussi in that basement below the LP shop is Jung Woo's father

Thanks, I will give it another shot ^^

Dear MDL-ers, I really enjoyed the first two episodes, thought they were very badass, but I got so bored during episode 3 that I ended up taking a nap instead of finishing an episode. Can someone who has seen episodes 3 and 4 please let me know if this drama is worth continuing?

The most common complaint I hear about this drama is about the production/direction. I guess not everyone likes the back-and-forth in the timeline storytelling style. Also, I can't help but feel that herd mentality is a factor here. There have been so many times when I liked a drama, but then I read all the criticism here on MDL, it made me doubt my own judgement and a few times, I have even ended up lowering my rating half a point or more, after reconsidering the drama in the light of the herd judgement.

There have been times when I was one of the bashers and there have been times when I've truly liked a drama that was getting a lot of hate on here. My favorite example for this is "Something in the Rain" which the majority hated, but I adore to this day.

The point of this long ramble is that I'm learning not to discount my own feelings so easily and not pay too much attention to MDL ratings, they can be helpful at times for sure, but if I had listened to MDL ratings every single time, I would have missed out on some fav dramas.

I'm with you, I really liked this drama. First off, it's almost ridiculous, how sincerely I was rooting for favorable outcomes for our main leads. I was able to connect with the characters and their background stories. The chemistry between Cha Joo Eun and Lee Jung Hwan was so very believable. Loved Detective Kim Myung Hyun, I hope actor-nim Lee Hak Joo will get recognized through his role in this drama and get lead roles in the future. Their were so many complex, interesting, love-to-hate, morally grey characters. The dialogues were witty, refreshing and on-point. Sophia/Jung Bok Gi had some of the best dialogues. These unique aspects set this drama aside from the typical run-of-the-mill k-dramas. It has been a most entertaining journey. I will never be able to think of "documentary film makers" the same way again. lol :P

Good point there. I don't think Joon's mom is onboard with accepting Ra Ra yet, but yes, his dad must be the one behind Joon going abroad

Yes, you're right, there is some backstory there as well which we will see in the next episode. My guess is that she teamed up with Joon's mom, and Joon's mom is forcing him to go abroad with her. Joon's mom is the new landlord of the saloon and Ra Ra's academy, so Joon is going along with all the crazy demands. Though last we saw, Joon was still preparing for his CSATS, so he wouldn't have gotten into a university already, if I understand the timeline correctly. Maybe his mom just wants him far away from Ra Ra.

From the promo of next episode, it is clear that Joon bought the building. There was a scene in this week's episodes when Joon went to talk to his mom and the scene was left incomplete. Joon made a deal with his mom to buy the building and in return he agreed to breakup with Ra Ra and go abroad to study. Also, there have been a lot of hints and misdirection to distract from the fact along the way, but it is clear now that Joon is definitely Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol. He would have asked grandpa to buy the piano. He was at the recital and heard her performance. He was at the wedding and knew about her situation. It was Joon all along. This is that rare drama where I'm going to be okay with a time jump, since it is fully justified and it really is an important time for Joon to study and establish his career and Ra Ra fully understands all this. She just needs to know the reasons behind Joon's actions.

Theory on what happened in episode 14

I wouldn't be surprised if some variation of this comes true. this is exactly how predictable and formulaic K-drama are. It wouldn't make much sense to introduce Alex and 2STO from the initial episodes if his character doesn't contribute anything to the story, so I expect something to come out the 2STO subplot. Writers do love creating parallels in their stories, so there is a fair chance that NDS will show up in a suit again at some point. The part in these predictions that doesn't fit in with the story is that SDM is the kind of girl who chose to stay with her real dad rather than going off with an uber rich stepdad, that's the kind of loyal and courageous person she is. So this story should never go into the direction of SDM picking the richer guy or factoring wealth or even success in her decision, that would be such a disservice to Dal Mi's character.

Don't worry, I strongly believe that good boy will remain untarnished. In this same episode, didn't the CEO of SH Investment/Sandbox explain that there is a misunderstanding regarding the suicide that someone from Sandbox is responsible for it, no one from Sandbox was to blame for it, the truth will come out and HJP's name will be cleared.

I have started shipping HJP with ancestor girl from episode 10, now wouldn't that be epic, he should show up with her in the last episode *mic drop*

I completely second this. As someone who has worked in the tech industry for a literal decade, I can testify that there are no NDS here.

I'm curious about this too, he's definitely the same person

yay, thanks for informing :)

ROFL at "born to wear the pants in her relationships", really made my day :D

Same, Iove how they are bringing the story together, we were given few pieces of the puzzle before and slowly we are starting to see the full picture. It is great story telling. All the main characters are such duplicitous documentary makers (lol), that on principle, I should me morally against them, but strangely enough, I'm really invested in the outcome for the main leads and am looking forward to seeing them make it out of the mess they are in. I hope the quality of the story telling remains consistent. Fighting!
