I feel like this is one of the shows you need a good timing for.
There are shows that whenever you play them, you will have a good time, but this one needs a fitting state of mind and mood to appreciate it.

8.2 from 350 is actually pretty high.
Shows with such a small number of people who rated it usually have a lower one 🙃

Eun Ji and Shi Yoon have such a gentle chemistry going on I LOVE IT!

I'm not gonna talk more about what Ji Yeon did, I already ranted about it enough in comment section and feeds. But I want to talk about a scene from last episode.

I honestly almost started laughing when Ji Yeon started to give Kim siblings lecture about communication, when the 3 of main friends did not even have a honest talk about what happened, why it happened and what they should do in the future,. They just acted as if the argument and what Ji Yeon was doing for years (which btw also presents all of the 3 main characters lack of communication skills) never happened... 🙃

What I wrote about the ending to a friend:

"For me the idea that Dong Baek was the only one to wake up and remember everything was actually a way to for the first time give him freedom of choice. In all the past lives he was controlled by fate and pursued by Yu Dam who knew everything. While this time he has the freedom of choice - if he wants to try and get close to Yu Dam or live his live without him etc. If they get together it's because he wanted it.

For me him asking Yu Dam if he wants to eat the dinner with him was a perfect closing line, because it was the first time he took his life in his hands and for the first time it was truly his own decision.

The pacing and storytelling were really off. It's not exactly the type of story that can be told well in around 115 minutes 😅

Well, yeah. I had less issues with Milk not because he was a cat, but because he was more human and mature. It's a bit like he turn into a human after dying and going to afterlife, and got more accustomed to human life/form/emotions/thinking etc., while Choco was still a dog in "heavens" and turn human only when they went down to visit ML.

Seeing these side by side made it even more clear that the romance between Choco and his owner was disturbing. < I mean... I cannot argue with that 😅

Yeah but he was giving "mixed signals" because that's how the truly felt, not because he wanted to play with her heart or something. I feel like people are making him into the biggest playboy just because he was not completely dedicated to her, but it makes sense... they were there for a few days only. Both times he want to Inferno not with her, it was not his choice and could not say no (Min Su stuff). And when he came back she was showing how close she is with Jongwoo. For him, this would also be a mixed signal.

They both made each other unsure of their feelings. It was not just Jinyoung.

I knew she will pick Jung Woo when they showed her face after Jinyoung started to walk towards her after standing a little bit with Nadine. She was not happy, she looked worried and anxious. Since it would be easier to pick Jungwoo over Dongwoo, while Jinyoung was gone with Nadine.

I'm just disappointed he was not there from the start. He was literally the best guy, the funniest and the most mature with best approach to the show.

I find it fascinating how apparently being honest makes you dishonest. Best example: when Seulgi asked Jinyeong if he made a choice who to take to the paradise for the last time and how did he pick them. And he honestly answered he will pick someone he is curious about. I feel like many people see it as a push and pull mind game he is playing... when dude literally honestly answered a question he was asked. It makes perfect sense he would be curious about more than one person when they spent so little time in the island. Not like they've been there for month and he had close connection to any contestants. Both him and Seulgi were curious/interested in 2 people. It's not like Seulgi was dedicated to him only and rejected everyone else 😂

The two of them were literally in the same situation. Had 3 people interested in them. Clearly, many times rejected 1 person. Were the most interested in each other, but also curious and spending time with their 2nd pick ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

well everything about 2nd half was worse than 1st half, so not surprised his character was not developed 😅

Did he develop them in prison? < I think that's the case. I think it's after his hand got fucked up. That would be the most logical way.

that said, I for sure would rather have him as a normal villain that wants to take the revenge on CF lol

Being a late joiner makes her feel like an outsider and one who offers nothing, not even a spark. < her not having any personality did not help lol

Because they showed Gu Nam on a pretty psychotic scale, I was more of "he lost it completely and should be locked in a hospital" and less "He is evil to the core". Like, dude talked to the imaginary version of himself 🙃

Episode 7 was for sure my favorite this season. I wish they would focus more on the village, the crime investigation just not as interesting for me...

"well, she didn't want to be that badass assassin anymore," is such a weird statement for me. Do people assume she can be badass and good at fighting if she is an assassin? As if all the male characters did not use their strength and skills for good? I don't know if it's a wild idea to people, but she can be a good fighter again without turning into assassin 😂

When I say she is egocentric I do not mean she thinks she is the most important and disregard everyone consciously. I mean it in a way of her in many cases struggling to understand other people and instinctively seeing everything from her own perspective. And while that part is natural for everyone, others are aware of the fact someone else can see things differently and have a different approach She views everything from her own perspective and up till now it was "excused" and not that obvious because it was written in a way that she usually was also right. Up till they dropped the bomb about the testing friends for years.

Her fear of losing Ji Gu is the sign of codependency issues, her actions show the egocentrism in her behavior. there are other ways to try to keep someone by your side that do not require "testing" their other friends behind their backs with no explanation. She assumed it's not something than would hurt Ji Gu, and her intentions were good in her perception - that the egocentric aspect of it.

If she took the dress without asking I would be so annoyed, because taking shit without permission is also something I hate, because it is also an egocentric behavior and has nothing to do with pride, but good manners 😂 For me ji Gu asking if she can borrow a dress that was NOT her and waiting for a reply is the most normal and logical thing lol

You add more meaning to my words than necessary. It's not just my past negative experience. Even before it I disliked highly egocentric people. It's just my preference. My negative experience has more to do with me understanding Ji Gu side, than my dislike for Ji Yeon.
