So I’m only just catching up but confirmed that Su Rong Qing has also been given a second chance? Just finished the wedding episode. I’m really enjoying the banter :)
Honestly, I really enjoyed this drama, didn’t pay attention to the details and turned my brain off for a good time! It was rushed and the acting left some to be desired but overall, it was entertaining. LOVE Director Ye’s look too, reminded me a little of that webtoon My Dear Cold Blooded King. Although, what the heck was with that ending?! He’s just vibing with her corpse?? I still enjoyed it…just those last few seconds had me going WTF.
Man, I’m glad I saved this for a binge! So much fan service and love scenes to heal my residual trauma from Princess Agents. They knew what they were doing!
I binged this entire drama in one sitting. If that doesn’t convey how much I loved it, I don’t know what words could. It’s currently 5am, it was THAT good. I’ve never had a drama jerk me around so much at the ending. 9/10 for me, the final ending could have been better in my opinion.
I am definitely intrigued by episode 1. It is clear from the preview that Hyun Woo will rediscover his love for his wife through pretending to care for her but I can’t help but get the ick due to his beginning intentions. Maybe I’ll feel better about it as the episodes go by but I can’t imagine Hae In forgiving him easily when she finds out what he originally wanted to say before she told him her news. Kim Soo Hyun’s crying was surprisingly funny though. I’m not sure if I’ll continue the drama but I’ll see how episode 2 goes before I make that call…
I don't know about others but the age gap or being a student and a teacher isn't what bothered me. What bothered…
I get it, I do but the male lead did feel guilty about feeling attracted to her when she was younger and he never acted on it. Plus, she was technically 18 if I remember correctly. I absolutely agree, he shouldn’t have fallen for her, him being her teacher and in a position of authority. Maybe they shouldn’t have made it so he liked her when she was younger and only fell for her later but the thing is it does happen and I think the emphasis should be on the fact that he didn’t do anything while she was younger - he never encouraged her affection for him, never used his age or position of authority over her in any way. It happened. They didn’t do anything wrong if they had a crush on each other while she was 18 and he was 27. Everything only happened when she was 31 and he was 40.
I really don't understand how babies are made in RSL universe without the sperm and through IVF? Can anyone please…
I understand the confusion because I also didn’t get it. As the other comment says, men make millions of sperm per load so really all they would need to do to solve the issue is selective IVF - picking out the sperms with the XY genes instead of the XX. But maybe whatever caused the problem of too few male births in the first place prevents them from doing this? Or maybe the male foetus pregnancies are higher risk? Not really well explained but I’ll leave it alone.
I really enjoyed it - it’s like the Hunger Games but the prize is a man instead of wealth. The quality of filming and graphics are top notch, just like in Squid Games. I like the ending but don’t really understand the practicalities of disarming the societal structures. I feel like they definitely left the ending open because of a possible season 2 based on its reception - classic Netflix move. To be honest though, as much as I liked it, I don’t think I’d want a season 2 because I don’t see how they’d keep the game show vibe going without the actual RSL game and I’m too attached to the couples to see them separated. I’d rather live with the idea of happily ever after :)
I’m glad I left the last 4 episodes to binge. I think if I watched this in one go, I wouldn’t have gotten as frustrated when Yu Ra appeared. But I loved the webtoon and I loved this adaption. I do appreciate the changes they made by not sticking completely to either web novel or webtoon. Also, the height difference between Na In Woo and Park Min Young still makes me squeal even after 3 kids and 16 episodes. I adored the ending, everything tied up in a nice bow :)
I’ve started my rewatch and only JUST realized that Ji Won returned on 12 April 2013 and Ji Hyuk returned on 19 April 2013, meaning all that care and heroism that he exhibited on her first day back (when she had the freak out with Min Hwan and the coffee pot incident) was still past Ji Hyuk. The prolonged look in the elevator in Episode 2 is when he first sees her in his second chance. Wow, the revelations, I’m so late
I still enjoyed it…just those last few seconds had me going WTF.
Just give us the second season so we can all rest pls 😭😭😭

Is it the best quality, acting, anything? No but it was short and entertaining.
