There are so many replies, so I'll just reply to myself. If you go back and watch season1 episode 1, for more than half of episode 1 they had naksu's corpse with them. And so many people witnessed and examined the great shadow assassin Naksu but somehow forgot .. So either all of them have bad memories or clearly plot hole.
And do use spoiler tag for those who haven't watched this drama yet. Don't spoil the fun.
Sometimes I can't understand how dumb are kdrama's characters.. like the traitor Jin Mu who instigated all the chaos in season1 and the one who had naksu fight his battles, identified her instantly but our Seo Yul who stayed with FL the good part of teenage years and Park Jin(ML's uncle) who fought FL(in the season 1 beginning) can't seem to remember her instantly or otherwise.
Once again we see that the FL forgets about ML, either she goes to some other country or gets busy or forgets…
Where else did I see this? 1. She Would Never Know 2. Something in the rain 3. Because This Is My First Life 4. Devilish Joy 5. Lovestruck in the City 6. Romance Is a Bonus Book 7. Temperature of Love 8. The Package 9. Two Weeks
Apart from that, the show was meh at best. Rather than showing a cure to the trauma they just instigated and fueled the trauma further. Like his obsession of pink and low self esteem can be solved by 'getting a new gf'??? WUT
It should've been more on the lines of manning up or showing the process of it, realization and working towards mental stability. But here FL as a doctor just gave ML more disease than cure, in easier words she him more cocaine to his drug addiction.
I think the drama should've portrayed how a person can overcome without it, well it's a drama afterall.
Once again we see that the FL forgets about ML, either she goes to some other country or gets busy or forgets ML totally, somehow I've seen this trend a lot in kdramas, like men are more loyal and staying committed to the their love for FL.
Don't believe me, see my next comment. Beware spoilers:
That might not be the case as the FL felt connected to the ML in their childhood too. I wish & hope that the ML's…
Well it is good to be optimistic but you should be aware of kdrama trope as well. They usually circle around and put the blame on FL in some form. ML's sister being alive is very bleak
As we all know it's that time of the year when kdramas with Romance tag is airing, and we all are expecting when the main leads will get-together n all. But I am curios about something else.. When and why do you think they'll breakup?
As it is very common kdrama trope to do breakups in the prefinal episodes. Why do I think so? The drama has all the elements of breakup: childhood trauma, ML telling don't fall for me trope, Fl haplessly falling for ML, sad/sick MILs, ex-bf or in this case stalker. My initial theory was, they'll breakup because inadvertently ML will blurt out the reason why he moved to town but that has been squashed with the latest preview.
I believe, they'll breakup because FL will turnout to be carrying the heart of his sister and FL will find out first and will fall trap to guilt and breakup.
Kdramas should start adopting this kind of romance... they get together real early and break-up and get-together again in like 11-14 episode and end it in happy ending like Our Beloved Summer(if the writer is planning for that) or just go for no break-up and get-together by late 10-13th episode like this drama.
I hate the last minute get-together in the last 5 min of the last episode. It really infuriates me.
Ghost was saving Kim Manok because he is her ancestor on her father's side (either Manok the killer is her grand-father…
We are still not sure about Manok being from the parental side of Ghost. As in the last episode, FL didn't get to ask her questions to Manok. Whether she is related to him or not, there could be a sign that he is her cousin for all we know.
Another thing, Manok having children? no scene backed this claim, as he Manok dying at the spot made it null n void. Only fact we know is Manok being 10-14%(don't remember exact percentage) DNA match with Ghost.
The most insane plothole would be why did the Ghost let him die in the last scene?
I guess Manok's only use was to kill ML infront of his colleagues n FL.
Such an unsatisficatory ending.. :/ If they had season 2 in mind since the beginning there were many ways to end season 1. So many unanswered questions so much irrelevant information given..
she's giving him CPR for him to have some air while she finds a knife to cut him
Wow I actually learned something new today, didn't know so much about CPR but wow. It seems the rescuer carries 17% O2 and 4% CO2 while exhaling compared to inhaling 21% O2. So probably it might work, even read some articles saying that it might be possible but not recommended, unless the drowned person is brought to the surface.
To me that wasn't the most outrageous part, I just liked that you picked up on something I disregarded. But if you do stick till the end of drama, do tell how you feel about the last episode.
I really liked the drama with more than few plot holes. The story progression was right, romance right and action…
If only the writer choose to explain how is the game still working without the lenses? Or how the hell did a 17 year old find a ground-breaking million dollar research just by sitting in front of a what I would call a mediocre PC build. Seriously his setup was at best able to play Red Dead Redemption at 100 FPS or Control at 70 FPS and then the lags. (Cyberpunk would ya know.. try)
I wished they approached this in a different way, like the company was invested in nano technology and the student was using their technology and building a AR game on top of it. However, the game's AI got so advanced that it deleted bugs on its own and vents out punishments on its own.
When a user kills another user in a duel, instead of punishing the loser with level downgrade or items lost it mistakenly sends the nano tech a signal to kill the host(user). Same goes for the winner, in order to award it with new items or loser's items it recreates the loser's avatar and makes it re-fight the winner. (Bug created)
How to purge the bug? Finish the game. As the user reaches the top rank, he gets a legendary quest to finish the game. However, the AI gets intelligent and starts attacking much more viciously and somehow makes a rule to kill user in real life. (side character's death explained). In the end, to complete the quest, kill the AI or solve the game. AI has been reset aka game complete. (Bug squashed)
And about the instance dungeon, like lol they just did a Nobel prize research and said a 17 year old made it on chance. Here they could've also used nano tech to reorganize the human cells into disappearing from naked eye and putting the user in a state of comatose until game reset. (Of course scientifically not possible but drama). This way they had some sensibility to ML's disappearance in the end, and return.
Regarding the FL, I too agree, they could've shown a different angle for her. Like she is investigating the game and finding out the truth about it. Like are there no notes to what his young programmer did? seriously bad programmer. Plus the investigating guy in the background who ML calls for details, suddenly disappears. (sad on his role)
I really liked the drama with more than few plot holes. The story progression was right, romance right and action right. The only missing part was logic.
So either all of them have bad memories or clearly plot hole.

Don't believe me, see my next comment. Beware spoilers:
There is a high chance the show will end in open ending like the ML and FL meet 3-5 years later in the end.
Plus from the show's perspective, they both have feelings for each other but FL will probably not act upon it and ML seems a bit childish.

We still wonder why kill the janitor :D

Umm... you do know you exhale C02 when you push air out of your mouth? Slow killing my drowning ML. Do you really think this helps?
@guaaavajuice
I like that you noticed it too, wait till the end of show, you'll just say wtf.
