Can someone help me understand what the conflict over the last episode is? Based on other comments, I gathered…
To keep it short- Korean language is contextual. If you only listen to what Yu Ri says, her sentence can either mean that Paltima is attacking Izmael OR Izmael is attacking Paltima.
Since the News Banner clearly states that the Koreans were kidnapped by Izmael Militants AND the news backdrop clearly has an arrow pointing from Izmael to Paltima, in terms of context, it's clear that the news segment is pro-Paltima and supports Paltima.
But because Netflix didn't bother to translate the news banner or backdrop nor did they bother too add the contextual parts to the subtitles, it caused a major contravery with the international audience.
It's worth noting that this issue did not trend in Korea (not even in Naver) so the misinterpretation issue makes more sense.
destroyed everything by including stupid zionist propaganda 🤢 people are literally dying every second in Palestine.…
Did you hear about the misintepretation contravery? :)
It's not difficult to test it on your own if you don't believe it- use google lens on the news banner and the backdrop behind Yuri- your doubts will get cleared.
And yes- Netflix handles subtitles- not the production team.
You can still be mad at them but let's be mad at them for the right reasons ya?
Same here - if you look at the episode in both SE and HJ's POVs instead of just Heeju's AND remember the timeline…
Exactly...their only issue with that scene was prioritizing the hopeless romantic side of going to Argan without adding just a little padding enough to soothe the fans who came for the thriller side. Otherwise they did check all the boxes in that scene pretty perfectly.
The more I think about it, honestly it's hilarious how people expect him to be the perfect husband after going through radical changes for only about 3 weeks at most - specially seeing as it's Sa Eon who even panicked just because HJ was mad at him and Sang Woo during their dinner 🙈.
Him having a meltdown/ running away after finding out how his switch ruined Heeju's life is more realistic than him just saying "I'm sorry that my family is filled with sociopaths" - or may I'm just being weird?🙊
"Actions have consequences"The source novel didn't contain any propaganda regarding the "Palitima" issue, and…
Have you used Netflix? At the end credits they ALWAYS mention the translation credits that's done by Netflix's Team so what more do you need as proof? NF screwed up.
MBC (and most local broadcasting teams in the world) do not provide subtitles. Their prime audience (locals) doesn't usually need english subs (or the other 3 language translations NF is providing).
Excellent! Why exactly did he ever get out of that car? That was so stupid. This is ending is what anyone with…
It's the same reason why he left IMO🙈.
Heeju gets priority over everything and I guess since the cops were only a few minutes behind them, SE may have thought that he might be able to distract the kidnapper long enough? The guy is too unhinged to provoke- in the off chance he moved away from the car, SE and HJ might be exposed to more danger 🙈
(Not to mention the whole legal mess that comes with deliberately running over your tormentor🙈)
I like makjang elements but not full makjang. Typical makjangs have women (esp moms) screaming their heads off…
Totally agree with you! I avoid Makjang for that exact reason usually. Too annoying and it takes away attention from the MC's story.
Speaking of crazy mums, one thing I couldn't help noticing with WTPR is that all the female characters were portrayed as strong independent* characters which was interesting (even HJ's mum- she had questionable goals and was pretty terrible but you gotta hand it to her, the woman somehow got what she wanted 😅)
The dads being caricatures is a perfect way to sum up Father Baek 🤣
*Yes, even Heeju is independant since except for the Argon arc, HJ saved herself every single time either with her wits or because of her past with the family secretary
Aside from the scene that triggered so many people, For some reasons I just understand episode 12 😭 like there…
Same here - if you look at the episode in both SE and HJ's POVs instead of just Heeju's AND remember the timeline covered between ep 1-11, it makes more sense (specially since the drama also made it clear whose side were they on).
Argan arc could have been fleshed out better ngl since they had enough source material but it's probably a timing issue🙈
I don’t think I ever saw so many comments on a series here :)) CRAZY 😝 So I just started this out of curiosity…
In a way you kind of answered your question. Sol was a bubbly girl before her accident. Her accident pretty much robbed her off her dreams and youth to a certain extent (Not looking down on disabilities but she literally got paralysed when she was 18. Even as an adult, while she is well adjusted, she still has to go through difficulties that the abled take for granted).
Her second chance not only gives her a chance to save Sunjae but also to live her life without any regrets.
there seem to be mixed reviews on this drama...is it worth watching? when do the leads get together? any breakups?
If you are into time travel (with the objective of saving someone - so multiple chances), fantasy, romcom, and a dash of trauma, you'll probably like this.
The chemistry is 🔥 and the story is heart warming. The ending is worth the journey (at least IMO)💙💛
If they were truly pro-Izmael, why would they say that Izmael militants kidnapped the koreans? Might as well blame that on Paltima too right?

The best he can do is say that this is the place where Heeju's delulu came trululu 😉

I can already hear the kidnapper sigh one last time "not again -_-"
Yu Ri was definitely refreshing. It's not often the SFL actually manages to help the ML get closer to the FL (even if she has no idea🤭)
