I feel flummoxed by many of the comments criticizing a drop in quality towards the ending because I think this drama has been getting much better and is starting to really pay off with some high notes. I want to ask them, "Are we even watching the same drama?"
This plot kind of reminds me of the anime Samurai Jack…
When Samurai Jack finally got back to the past, he was able to defeat the demon Aku (who had sent him to the future)… but in the future he had also fallen in love with Ashi, the daughter of Aku. Ashi went back in time with Jack and sacrifices herself to ensure Jack's victory. But when Aku was killed, Ashi faded from existence because her father's death in the past meant that she had never been born. And Jack is left to mourn her loss, forever changed by his bittersweet experiences of love, loss, and the passage of time. 😭😭😭
I'd be happy to see Segye visit Mundo in prison, promising to raise the villain's son as his own, and informing Mundo that he will not get to see his child ever again. And maybe also pay some other inmates to periodically remind Mundo that he cannot suffer enough to compensate for what he has done.
I strongly encourage you to watch My Mister (also available on Netflix). Heo Nam Joon plays a supporting cast villain with an interesting character arc who has some amazing scenes with each of the two leads. Besides his performance, MM is an outstanding drama overall, and one of my all-time favorites. And I think most Drama fans would agree MM is a must-watch.
This is Kang Hyun Ju's first TV drama, although she does have a handful of film scripts which have been produced. Perhaps you were thinking of the rookie writer of Perfect Crown, whose script won the MBC contest?
This drama has been prematurely removed from the "Top Airing Shows" list on the MDL homepage. This usually occurs only after the final episode has aired, but not before. I suppose one of the Mods is feeling as frustrated as some of the commenters here!
There cannot be a sad ending otherwise I will DIE.If there is a sad ending, I will pretend episode 14 never happened.…
If it has a sad ending then this is just plain torture. I remember when comedies substituted cringe for humor, so is angst supposed to be the new drama?

Ep 10/11—It takes a light touch to send someone's soul back to Joseon. The actual WTOD would have killed Seori (or maybe transported her to Goryeo?), but the WTOD's younger-brother WPUTOD (White Pickup Truck of Doom) was perfect for the task. (Baby White Scooter of Doom would have merely given her a graze.)
How do you suppose Seo Ri's soul got sent back in time before the comet? What was the cause of that?
Thank you. I like that this makes sense, I do not like that it muddies the narrative and makes the drama less compelling as a result. I think it'd be better to have not included the comet at all, even though the comet was a cool motif & pretty visual.
