Not sure about the "love line" being a big production plan, they had it going on even outside of the set, and I highly doubt Jessi would just fake it for month everywhere she went. I think it started as a small joke between them, but then fans loved it so they kept it up.

Also, the "pandemic" excuse is a bit meh, coz restaurants were not the only businesses affected by covid. So even if they wanted to help business owners, they still could have picked for a bigger range of topics.

LONG comments with some of my thoughts, as I was watching episode 1.

Thoughts while watching episode 1

🙃 The orange tones for the "past" scenes were so ugly I cannot. It's not like a vintage vibes, or warm colors, it's just an orange on the screen.

🤔 I honestly hope they will dive into this whole transfer memories - does this overwrite memories the person already had? Is it like 2 memories coexisting? Is the person able to differentiate between their own memories and the memories that were transferred?

🙃 I hate when they show a scientist making dumb decision about their project. Like bish, the moment you become a test subject, your research goes to trash to some extend, or at least you need to remove yourself from it or limit your involvement. Like him wanting to be the subject is dumb on a whole new level. No one goes from rats to people experiments lol There are steps to be taken. You go to bigger animals, then ones with closer cognitive skills to people like chimpanzees. Bish went: ah yes, I did it with ONE RAT, I am ready to do it on myself. Like dude... really? REALLY? Also, I'm assuming he is THE researcher on the project, like can they continue without him? Coz you never fucking know what might happen when you play with the brain. What if he damages his own memories and brain during the experiment? Then the whole research will go and fuck itself? I am glad everyone tells him how fucking dumb of an idea it is, but honestly with such an important project, with them knowing his personality, they should have someone trusted keep an eye on him after that request 😂 ALSO SUCH A MASSIVE LAWSUIT THAT WOULD LITERALLY STOP THE WHOLE RESEARCH ON THE GROUNDS OF BEING UNETHICAL lol Highly doubt they had the approval of the family to use the body in this way.

😊 Lee Sun Kyun's acting A+

🤣 There is something wrong with me coz I could not stop laughing about that killing-full-on-blood scene when they connected the memories hahahahaha That music just did it for me.

😍 Park Hee Soon's voice

🙃 "I have gotten a glimpse into some of his memories, but I can't recall any of them clearly" so what you mean, your photographic memory brain finally tasted how normal people deal with memories and you can't comprehend it? 🤣

🤔 I think the theme of this show is EXTREMELY hard to present on screen. We don't store memories like clips from the movies like they show it here. But then, it's not like they could have show them in any other way in a drama.

😂 So yeah, obviously injecting yourself with memories of other people will fuck up you, and your personality etc. We build the sense of ourselves on the experience we have. If you can transfer that experience, it will influence who you are on some levels. It's such an interesting topics. Back to the 2nd point I made - is it more like a knowledge we additionally have, like memories become like a movie of someone else's life? Or will our brain not be able to differentiate so it will try to integrate it, which will literally lead someone to mental breakdown 🤣

😂 For a genius he is pretty dumb. Your habits and quirks are build based on your experience, that forms memories. It's all linked. How did you NOT predict this shit happening? Honestly enjoyed watching him get all these awful side effects coz bish literally asked for them.

🙃 I guess he did not have enough side effects. I am amazed how he went straight into: maybe my son is not dead. And not into "my memory of my wife saying the son is not dead is being morphed with the memories of the girl from the dead dude's memories". like... THAT'S THE LOGICAL MORE SCIENTIFIC REASONING!

Okay conclusion: really hella awesomely fun to watch, but the ML is really hella dumb 🤣

Wanna hear something "fun"? Mame tried to give Lhong some redemption, after he planned a gang rape on a child, by giving him a special episode explaining his side of the story 🙃

i don't remember, but damn if you are only on episode 2 you should keep watching and avoid comment section coz there might be some massive spoilers.

Either mother killed the daughter and herself, or the daughter killed the mother nad herself. It's the whole "whoever sees the tape will kill the one they love the most and then kill themselves" deal.

Jae Young was kidnapped by the cult, one of the Jung Hyun's high school friends. The goal was for her to be a bait to get Jung Hyun.

yeah, the problem was not only the age gap, but the unhealthy power difference coz of the differences in experience etc. That couple just made me angry when I was watching.

"I did not know about it" but... it literally names horror as one of the genres of the show 🤣 it's there between mystery and drama.

coz in real life the servers that the videos were on and the tapes etc were not bomb but a group of stupid self righteous folks hahahah

To protect the privacy of the victims. Already so many people saw the videos, to show them to public they viewed as too cruel. At least that's what I got form it. That's why they only left enough evidence to get them in jail, but not to harm the victims more.

Well... the CEO in real life did just that too 🤣
And it took years for the public to find out. if it was not for taxi team who literally destroyed all the evidence, it would be seen by public too 🤣

"The cases are so dramatized " exactly why I dropped it after evil read head CEO case. It was just presented in such a dumb and over the top way I could not take it. Honestly speaking, the first case was my favourite of them all.

at the same time, maybe that's the charm of the show. It leads to people chatting about the plot, sharing their views and theories, and that's usually one of the best parts of watching dramas - discussing them with others :)

I agree on the group of teen friends in "present" time. They did have too much screen time taking into consideration how little they truly contributed to the progress of the plot or development of any of the characters.

Killers always have a reason to kill people, they are just bullshit reasons for normal people.

As a child he might have killed anyone who worked in that place just under the "they must have known hence they are guilty", when they might have not knows. That's why I say we cannot be sure they were involved in the abuse, he might have just assume they are guilty just for the fact they were in any way associated with the place. But by that logic, he should not be angry about the death and torture of said dad, since he also worked in that place, same his adoptive mother, so they also ignored the abuse, hence were guilty of it.

It all can be explained with theories that would fit the story, the point is, they did not explain it 🤣

His action led to a lot of people dying who had NOTHING to do with anything, like the high school girl from the beginning, who was not even born when the abuse in the foundation happened. That's my problem - he does not even target people involved, he just went after anyone - innocent or not.

"Honestly, they should have shown if the other people who tortured his father were killed by him or not" < that's exactly it. I feel like viewers have to fill a lot of plot points themselves, based on what for them makes sense, and not based on what actually was shown. To some extend it makes the viewing more interesting, coz you need to use your brain to figure things out, but I feel like they left too many things unanswered by the end.

Well, we don't know who exactly abused him. His adoptive father also worked in that center, hence he was part of the problem, yet he did not see him as villain. That's the whole point, they did not show that, it's your theory based on speculation, same as me calling him "evil". Since we cannot know if the people he killed in the pool took active part in the abuse.

His motives are not clear. If he wanted to punish people who killed his father be would go after police and prosecution. If he wanted to kill people who took part in the abuse, he would have no idea to specifically target the rookie detective that was on the case of siad abuse. But he went after the whole city, with many people who had nothing to do with the abuse in the first place and who could never know what truly was happening in the center.

Okay, so she had to die before the attack since she was named as one of the victims of it. It's not like the bodies were not recovered from the station, so JH had to move her body there. Wish it was something they shown, rather than something we had to "add" ourselves for the timeline to make sense.

But JH already killed the people in the pool BEFORE his adoptive father was killed with torture, which clearly leads me to believe he was already on the "I want revenge" path. It's not the death of the adoptive father that turned him "evil". The torture happened in 85, terror attack in 87 so he was already grown up, but he himself said he started to have "powers" as a kid while being abused, and we saw the pool incident when he was a kid too. That's why it's all messy and I am not sure what exactly was his motive and the moment that made him do what he did. Especially since he did not target police or prosecution (aka people who were involved with it), but rather normal people from the town.

I have 3:

1. How much of what happened was actually Jo Kyung Ho's plan? Coz as far as I see it, all of it, even his own death, but they do leave it rather vague.

2. What is the story of Kyung Ho and Jung Hyun's dad? Their real father was the dude that Kyung Ho met in the last episodes, he was abusive dick and sold them to orphanage/foundation right? KH was already f-d up there, hypnotise the staff to kill themselves in the pool. There was abuse going on in the foundation. Him and JH were adopted by the now "mom" and her husband, who also worked in that foundation. The whole abuse shit was covered up. The police tried to find out the truth so they tortured to death the adoptive father? But why they are acting as if detective being part of the adoptive father death was the beginning of it all, when it was not, since the kid was messed up before that and had the "magic hypnosis" going on? Am I missing something?

3. So like the whole story of the detective's wife is confusing 🤣 She left the detective twice? Once when she pretended to lose the child, she left to Japan with psycho dude. And then she came back? She was killed by In Gwan, but the detective thought she was killed in the terror attack, So what exactly is the timeline of her death? Knew and was close to KH coz of the foundation. Knew he planned to kill everyone involved with it, pretended to lose the child and left to Japan with KH, came back to the detective. Left the detective again, met with dad to blackmail him into admitting his wrongdoings, he killed her, right after that the terror attack happened? Was her body moved to the station by KH? Why did the detective think she died there?

Well, I rather them not tell me exactly "how" than them try to tell me it was all his brilliant might and hypnosis skills 🤣
Might be why I am not as annoyed with lack of explanation. Will take this over a bad explanation.
