Thanks for the detailed analysis :)

It will be interesting to see how/ if the drama will try to redeam the ML after all that drama😅

Between LISB and this, which would you say is better?

I did like the "life lessons" aspect of LISB eventhough I wasn't that invested in their romance (no hate to them but it was obvious from ep 1 where they were headed). Kind of curious to know since I'm really struggling to continue with this drama.

As a fan of mockumentaries, I was looking forward to this but ep 1-2 failed to capture my interest so far 😅

Out of curiosity I dug a little deeper - while the exact reason is left ambiguous, a common assumption is that the reference book was actually correct even if fait took time to “collect”. The price for changing destiny is one’s life and eventually Eito 2.0 lost his because he did too many changes if that makes sense? That would explain why Neo 2.0 seems to be alive too (since Eito’s interruption delayed Neo’s suicide long enough for his dad to catch Neo on time).

Soo sooo glad that Netflix released all 10 episodes together. 10 weeks of suspense would have been too much to bear 🙈

Eito originally died back in 2012ish (the date Neo went back in time to) when he got hit on the head by the large rolls from Sarasa’s father’s factory - remember how he saved her from getting crushed?

He probably switched bodies with Neo around the exact time.

It’s all about balance. In the original timeline Eito wasn’t supposed to be alive so probably that’s what happened? The door is just a trigger to bring everything full circle similar to how he died in the original timeline.

(At least that’s my hypothesis - the manga probably has a more detailed explanation)

Edit : Also another comment mentioned how all major events remained the same eventhough our Eito tried to change them, so this too could be a factor.

A truly emotional journey. As a fellow COD, it almost felt like I was taking a stroll down memory lane at times.

About her “friend” - she’s jealous. Turns out the bratty main actress, Seori, and her “friend” were child actresses around the same time. Since the “friend” was only a human prop even when the bratty actress was a kid (she tried to be chummy by trying to reminisce about a long forgotten ad they worked together on), there is a high chance that she also worked with Seori in a similar setup back then.

Considering how Seori is finally getting a breakthrough after a 20+ year failed career, it must have really made her jealous because she’s still a nameless support actress (basically a human prop) even after so long.

Honestly the grandfather is even worse. Mundo at least probably had a whole hospital worth of psychological issues with his family before he was abandoned and handed over to the grandfather but the real question is was the grandfather aware of his deception every time he punished SG mercylessly?

The show probably would have caused an uproar 5-6 years back (specially before Glory era) but I feel most kdrama viewers are now familiar with how violent students, parents, and teachers can be in reality (specially given the number of cases that are raised in SK alone), so we are kind of desensitised?

Corporal punishment is awful BUT if the aggressor refuses to learn from their mistakes and the law doesn't protect the victim, having a Bureau like the ERPD would actually be a blessing.

The issue was that his "friend" gave him a secret smartphone after he switched to a mobile that didn't support the app.

Ep 5 Hwa Jin POV on his first day : I miss dealing with high-school bullies

Love how they connected ep 3 (and even ep 2)with 4. It doesn't justify ep 3's actions but it was a good way to show how far the consequences could reach 🥲

As far as "delulu to trululu" is concerned, the real world can learn a thing or two from this drama 💪

As long as it’s not Tomono, I’m fine 🙈

It would be an interesting concept ngl but I’m not sure how they could explain it seeing as by that point, Eito would have been dead for over 12 years

At this point, it’s the community’s fault. It’s always “Eito knows best” but not a single one of them thought of consulting him before contentiously engaging with the investor. They already were fooled by one “Ginza big shot” after all over 30 years back🤦‍♀️

There’s a reason why the street was failing in the original timeline long before Neo was involved 🙈

It’s surprisingly bingeable. Best wait till all episodes are out - I caught up within 1 day 🙈
I thought the last episode will be out tomorrow but turns out my Netflix is 2 episodes behind 😅

I think it’s the fact that original Eito was “romanticized” too hard? He died young - at a time when the street was beginning to hit its lowest. Technically even his “death”/ Sarasa’a own near death experience and the fact that they both couldn’t pursue a better life was in a way rooted to the street’s desperate situation. Getting a second chance to live as a CEO probably would have driven him to want to be more successful and save his family. The only issue is that unlike with our Eito, he has no knowledge of the original timeline and now has to compete with “himself” unlike in other timeslip stories.

Considering how naive his dad is, I wouldn’t be surprised if he too had flaws that could manipulate him into being more ruthless than our Eito. For instance, for all we know he may want to play hero and win Sarasa’s heart by turning the street against our Eito and Tomono/ swoop in the last minute and save the street from the acquisition?

It’s pretty realistic though how things escalated given how obsessed the principal was-especially once you find out WHY she is so adamant about the ban. That’s why when Ema tried to defend herself, the principal kept harping about the school’s personal mantra on what a “lady” was.

The ban started out as a standard rule you find in most schools depending on where you come from (especially in Asia). But because the principal’s objective was fueled by a personal vandetta, things went out of control. Even the school’s advisors couldn’t control her.

Edit: just noticed the date stamp😅
