I am honestly thinking about either dropping or at least putting this drama on hold coz of Jin Se Yeon. Also, the way they portrayed profilers in this drama is just painful.

For quite some time I did not get why there is so much hate for Go Ahra but then when I truly thought about it, I am the same with Jin Se Yeon. I just can't stand her, and I can't force myself to watch anything with her. So yeah, even tho I really like Go Ahra, I feel you guys. Don't force yourself to watch something you will most likely dislike at the end.

I don't think he did, yet. He will in ep 4 (7-8), if anything. He most likely cried coz he felt defeated and torn between making sure he's brother (aka the only person that accepted and loved him) is safe and Byung Joo's freedom, maybe life and basically justice. He is just tired and heartbroken, coz he wanted to do something good but the result is not exactly what he expected, you know.

Serial killers, as was said, kill for pleasure. They pick really specific victims to kill (for example a boy that was abused by his mother can in the future pick woman that look similar to her). It's not only about killing, it's about who you kill. So just killing random people that other assign to you would not bring them pleasure in most cases. Especially since majority of serial killers are also sadists and most hit man are not.

I actually love how "slow" this drama is. At the beginning I was excited for all the sci-fi, action parts happening in the game reality, but now I am really invested in Jin Woo's character so I don't mind the fact action part is limited now. I think this drama is more of a character, than plot driven and I think they might have made disservice to the drama with 1st 3eps and teasers, since they made the drama look more action packed and plot driven.
I also don't mind PSH character just being there to support Jin Woo. This drama is one man's tale and all the characters are revolving around him. For me at this point this drama is less sci-fi action, and more psychological thriller. And I understand that people may not like it, since we all were expecting sci-fi action one.

I assume (AND HOPE FOR IT) that he will get killed in the game by Hyun Suk. That would make me so happy hahaha Since the professor did not play the game as far as we know, so he is level 1? So Even Hyun Suk have higher level. He will be so shocked to see his son he most likely won't even try to defent himself. Gosh I just want to se him dead hahaha

The last scene in preview for ep 12 made me so happy I want to cry

that slap was painful to watch.

we only know Jinwoo could not take the healing potion to the dungeon since he had to leave all the items from outside of Granada before going in. Why he did not take it before getting inside tho i beyond my understanding hahaha

I have a theory that could be 100% wrong. For me Granada is a center of the game, the heart and the brain (since it was created there). Knowing the previous works od the author the game might be some AI or slowly gaining consciousness and evolve. We saw in 1st (or 2nd ep) how the game learnt how to include real life surroundings in the game play which could be just a hint of it being able to evolve into something much bigger and stronger. I assume the game is evolving, creating some kind of connection to the players (hence at some point you see the game even without lenses). Jin Woo was also in danger of dying during that scene in Granada in the train (that's what I think), also any time he got hurt during the mission, he felt it. Once the mission is cleared or he is out of Granada the "old" rules are back and normal NPC can't really hurt you. So what I mean it, the game is evolving so the game rules change.

I get you. IF the drama is heavy on romance and romance is kind of the only true plot, I would drop if I don't like it. But since here we have so much more going on than the romance, I don't mind me not liking the main couple, since there are other interesting points for me to focus on :)

Yeah I hate the romance in the drama, but I love the students scenes and I like Se Ho's character and how messed up he is, it's interesting. I will most likely just skip the romance scenes and focus on other parts of the plot while watching.

I've seen 12 eps (6 if you go with old format, not that 35 min one) and I still strongly dislike female lead and the idea they will end up together. Nothing much changed for me... Ignoring the past they are cute together, but I cannot force myself to ignore it.

but it's not a plot hole. It's an unanswered question but it's not a plot hole. It will become plot hole if they will not explain it when drama ends. The plot hole is "a gap or inconsistency in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic established by the story's plot." But since we weren't given any true rules on how the game works and all of it are just our assumptions, they can't really be labeled as plot holes. Knowing the writer I would say it's the game itself creating the rules as it involves...

for me everything is progressing quite well... I don't see any big plot holes, especially since there are still 6 eps to go, so until the drama ends it's hard to say something is a plot hole, since they have time to explain it. Sometimes they explain things that happen in 2 or 3rd ep in last one. It's not a plot hole just because we don't know all the answers just yet.

I get where you are coming from, but that's so opposite to what I like and look for in dramas haha I love when they don't go with obvious things like witches or vampires and they force you to create your own theories before anything is explained. And even tho Jung Hoon death was sad I like the fact they killed him. Because of that I get more emotionally involve and the watching is more exciting coz you know the writer is willing to kill a well loved character. Also I don't think he died for the main dude to get a girl. He could easily still get her with Jung Hoon being alive. I rather see it as breaking Jin Woo's characters even more and also showing that the stakes in the game are truly high. with Jin Woo being on such a high level and not having any problems with killing Mr. Cha over and over again, I did not get scared etc anymore during the 'game fighting' scenes. Now that I know even an important character can die, it's a whole different story.
But everyone has their own opinion and everyone likes different things :) Nothing wrong with that.

you may not like the plot and that's totally fine BUT the genres of the drama are sci-fi and fantasy so it not being grounded in reality is not valid criticism.

you are right, he was so chilled.

SAAAAMEEEEEEE

After Doctors I believe in her hahaha I don't think at his age Hyun Bin would go for just a fish kiss hahaha Honestly, rarely ever you see those type of kisses in dramas lately, thank god for that
