Me. I thought it was brilliant but also very flawed. The flaws exacerbate my disappointment because the brilliance deserves consistency. Someone decided the script was "good enough" and didn't insist that it be 'great'. I prefer 'great'.
What's the ending like? I don't understand anything, please someone explain it to me. 😶
It's simple if you followed along. 1. All dogs go to heaven. Unless they are asked to work in hell. Dogs who die before their owners appear in heaven as old people but strays appear as young people. Dogs who die after their owners do not ever appear as people at all. 2. There are no cats in Heaven (except for one, but almost nobody notices her and she likely escaped from hell.) 3. Souls departing life travel together and some get sucked into hell. This serves to scare the hell out of the remaining passengers to they can go to heaven without any hell inside them. Unless they still do, in which case they may get sent to hell after all. 4. People with suppressed memories bifurcate into two separate people who don't recognize each other until eventually they do so. Often one fragment goes to heaven while the other goes to hell (unless someone such as the ML intervenes). 5. Old people who go to heaven get one chance to choose their age, no take-backs. If one does choose to remain old, others will most likely assume that they are a dog. 6. Children appear as adults in heaven. 7. It's easy to escape from hell. If you do so you forget all your memories unless it is inconvenient to the plot, in which case you do not. 8. The lotteries on Earth are not rigged by humans (as most of us have assumed), but are instead rigged by the director of Heaven. The winners are selected by souls who must first win a treasure hunt then best each other in a pity-party based on their level of misery and tragedy while incarnated. 9. Heaven is a way-station where people rest after an arduous life and clear any lingering emotional baggage before reincarnating. 10. Souls tend to reincarnate together in a variety of relationships. A father and daughter could reincarnate as a married couple and then again as siblings. 11. FL & ML were going to reincarnate together, but at the last minute the ML bails on FL and she reincarnates alone. Her life is actually much better without him. He remains in heaven, totally bored. She lives a long life and dies in a retro hospital as if technology doesn't evolve at all over the next 80 years, but is surrounded by family. Supposedly they reunite (again) in heaven, and then do reincarnate together and meet as teenagers, but he will most likely make her miserable again. Or maybe not? (I guess we will have to wait for the sequel to find out.)
I am still wondering what kind of twisted drama this was. 🤔 The tonal changes were all over the place. Kim Hye Ja was stellar and the drama got good enough to make me frustrated it wasn't a whole lot better. I so long for great scripted entertainment, but examples are too few & too far in-between. 6.5
Immediately following the conclusion of each episode as it airs domestically. The precise time may vary depending…
I am enjoying this thoroughly. This story hits many of the notes I like: highly-capable FLs, scallawag MLs growing up well, effective teamwork, & cookery. I am enjoying the journey to when—I surmise—the restaurant will thrive, ML's brother gets his comeuppance, & mother learns some humility, a love story or two… and I liked it when someone suggested (below) maybe we will see ML2's dad get nailed for arson.
One Oversoul. Two individuals. Soul fragmentation is a concept within the framework of reincarnation where a single soul can incarnate as multiple individuals, sometimes concurrently. Each fragment then moves on to continue their experience, learn lessons, etc.. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/377599.The_Oversoul_Seven_Trilogy
"I wondered whether such unique characters could even exist in real life." This is not a Knock Off. Life can be stranger than fiction, so fiction should try to make sense.
No, its called bluff. If someone folded quick, it means he won that round.
I don't understand.
7high bluffed earlier in round 8 (before the sniping, and he failed), but he didn't bluff again & no one folded in round 8 after the sniping. Eun Yu sniped Ha-rin's full house and 7high sniped his own hand (2 pair, 9s-high). But there were no further bluffs and no one folded. If 7high hadn't sniped himself, wouldn't his full house have beaten Eun Yu's Two Pair (10 high)? Instead, she won.
Why would 7high snipe his own hand in round 8 of the prison game, sniper hold-em? (2 pair, nines). That was a fool move! And then (a few rounds later) he loses again on a 7 High, which was a vain long shot, at best. I thought he was supposed to be a card-sharp.
Do we know "Sonya" is really a cat? We saw Hae Suk's memory of her cat but did we ever see her actually transform…
The first time Hae Suk associates the girl with her cat, Sonya we only see her memory of the cat. So you're saying there is an additional scene where she does transform. I'll go back and rewatch for it, thanks.
why was so fun the first time that the mother in law visiting? 🤣finally Somi is getting some of her memories…
Do we know "Sonya" is really a cat? We saw Hae Suk's memory of her cat but did we ever see her actually transform into a cat in Heaven? (I can't remember.) Or maybe did the dogs recognize her as a cat?
Hae Suk insisted Som I was Yeong Ae and then berated the amnesiac for lying about it. Could she be similarly projecting Sonya's identity onto that other mysterious female who doesn't fit in to Heaven?
Also, there is a saying that "all dogs go to heaven", but nobody ever said anything about goldfish, rats, parakeets or cats. But "transmigration of the soul" has been established along with reincarnation, so the other beloved pets must be somewhere…
