Following typical kdrama story trends, Do San is endgame. This drama classifies some characters as "main characters" when really it's only two main characters. I really like 3GGG's character analysis :)

Not sure about weaker/stronger but I do love dramas aimed to motivate! :D
Gives me the same vibes as Misaeng and Dream High too.

Itaewon's main character was also super smart (esp with help from FL). Here, Dosan is genius developer (and gets help from FL) too.. I see what you mean LOL

I also thought Do San prevented him too. At the end of one of the previous episodes, he stepped in IMMEDIATELY after seeing Ji Pyung and Dal Mi clearly having a serious conversation. Then the next episode just started off without that "..." momentous pause of pre-interruption xD;

They really are lol. When one of them tries to come clean, the other stops 'em. And vice versa..................................

I don't think it's a fanwar per say! (Apart from the few rude people who are attacking people who are shipping a different male lead)

Did you watch Episode 8?

Hint: Handwriting cues her into the truth!

Team Jipyeong may be more vocal since the story is steering clearly to realize Team Dosan's dreams. All the transpiring events are pushing towards the realization of Dalmi-Dosan love line.

Viewers know this. She clearly started developing stronger (read: new) feelings towards Do San, stronger than her child-crush-first-love Ji Pyung. That's not really up for debate.

Everyone's free to ship whom they choose, for whatever reasons they'd like. Maybe they like the interactions between Dal Mi and ___, or how good they look together, their past or present love story, the development of their relationship, etc. Just like love doesn't always make sense, I don't see what's so wrong with sharing personal preferences and opinions about the love lines in this story.

And to be quite frank, they are both liars. It's not toxic to say so, it's just a fact. We know that a healthy relationship is built on trust and honesty. With the truth surfacing in next week's episodes, we'll see how each of them acknowledge and grow through this life lesson in front of them. Dal Mi may find it in her heart to forgive, and follow her heart to whomever she chooses.

She lied about being the sandbox girl. In Jae overheard Ms. Seon Hak talking about the origination of the sandbox girl, and she wrote it into her application as if that memory was hers. Had she not overheard their conversation, she wouldn't have that memory to write about.

Dal Mi is probably the sandbox girl. Which is why In Jae pushed Dal Mi towards the Moonlight AI project or whatever "for money" - because Seon Hak (From SH Venture Capital) specifically said she thought the sandbox girl would be different.. AKA: Has a vision beyond just for money.

Thank you for sharing your perspective, Manzzz! I like how you describe it as a reality check.. perhaps that was what Ji Pyung needs.. I agree with how it was a little harsh lol, his tone and attitude is probably what set me off at that moment..!

Sometimes Do San annoys me. I can't put a finger on WHY but the way he talks to Ji Pyung gets me angry at times. Even if they are rivals, the way Do San talks to Ji Pyung is unlikable to me. Ji Pyung has his own reasons for not coming clean. Do San wasn't honest either.

I can't comfortably support either of them (in terms of their love/concern for Dal Mi). However, Do San shouldn't be acting as if he is "better" than Ji Pyung. They're both in wrong! >_>

Right?! Ugh! This story had so much promise. Then it just went downhill. I've been hoping for a mind-bending-twist where this drama changes from trash to masterpiece, but :( My hopes were too high. EP16, please don't further disappoint!

Agree. It is Jin Gyum (other world vers or diff timeline, older lol..)

At the same time, I don't mind it ):
The second lead has a nice personality and seems genuinely interested in her.

Of course when it switches to Dae Young's POV, I do feel for him. It'd be nice if he got a second chance. But second lead is great also!

SBS shouldn't have casted the same actor for both women if they are indeed two different people. Nothing clearly indicated that they are two different people. Birthdays and names can easily be changed and modified. Having a different personality? Personalities can also change over decades and of course, over a series of time travels.

The only scene that hinted the possibility of two different individuals with the same face, was when Jin Gyeom's mother pointed out her look-alike in a classroom, asking him to give all that science info to her cause she has potential to solve the problem.... Even then, she could have been pointing out her past/future self.

Who knows.

As a viewer, I felt uncomfortable about SBS/Alice hinting at possible incest. However, I keep on watching because I was hoping the story would explain it all. I'm more curious about what is happening, than repulsed. Telling viewers to "get lost" just because we have differing opinions from you is immature.

Happy that Min Hyuk finally learned of Tae Yi's death, and the identity of his son.

Awkward to see her cry over Jin Gyeom's death because I'm wondering, is she crying as mom, friend or love interest?

Fearful for the ending cause it looks like the future doesn't change. Either Jin Gyeom truly becomes the "master of time," and can manipulate/change future/past or he gets killed by Hyun Seok.. or Alice's Shi Young.

I like happy endings D:

Yes, happily ever after :)

Let's not stigmatize mental illnesses.

Agreed, Lexvurg. It's refreshing to read different/many point-of-views here.

This story has a lot of unhealthy romance and relationships. I'm hoping for character growth but even after the seven years time forward, there's little to no change.
(1) Seo Hwan needs to move on. It's not healthy to keep one-sided loving someone (especially when she's married, and even more so when she's married to your sister-in-law).
(2) Seo Jin should work on seeing things from other people's perspective. He's so selfish. It's like he doesn't know how to put himself in the shoes of others. I understand he went through a hard time but it's no excuse to break your family's heart. 7 years?

I don't ship anyone here. There's so much toxicity..! But I still watch because I'm curious about its ending (plus that small slimmer of hope for a good ending).
