Since there is time travel and parallel world travel involved (at least until the very last episode where the writers will probably go creative to pass by censorship!), do you think Mr Xu traveled back and forth more than once and not just in a parallel world but in time, too?
I mean, in the first world, he gave the FL the phone and told her to be precisely on that bridge, at that precise time. Why? Did he know there would be a portal and she would travel, too? What did he say in the first episode, about her "coming to this world"? It seemed to imply that the FL we saw in the first episode was from the B world but didn't remember? So he gave her the phone and the coordinates of the bridge because he somehow knew about some kind of passage at that right time and she needed to go back home, for some reason?
Episodes 7 and 8 sure got intense, compared to the previous ones. Especially episode 7, my god, that one turned violent and nasty so fast, I was in shock! I really didn't expect that turn of events.
The actress is fantastic, I have to say. I had never seen her in a drama or in a movie before but she appears young and talented.
There's another character with the same last name as the FL, which we haven't seen yet, who is he, her brother, cousin?
It was a good drama but the final episodes were boring and finale was rushed very confusing and didn't satisfy…
My interpretation was that they had too much baggage. The point of the FL's 19th life was to solve this endless cycle with the evil spirit murdering her in every life before her 30th birthday.
And that was why she was identical to her first self, and why there was a twin to possess for the dead ML from the first life. To have the two of them meeting again under the same past forms, to awake the FL's souvenirs of that first life which doomed them all and to solve the ML and FL's feelings and to get rid of the evil spirit.
I would have prefered a happy ending but, I don't know, somehow, that ended up logically. A spirit can't possess a body for a long time, stealing the life that the previous "owner" had created. It's not fair to the past owner, to his friends and family.
And from what I have heard, the webtoon had a bad ending so I prefer this one.
Your thoughts are all interesting and I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I had a different interpretation of…
She did, but I thought that in her rich world, her fashion style wasn't trashy. In that vision, I thought her clothing style didn't correspond her. So I thought for sure that it was the other XY, even though I had trouble computing her with the trailers (the cute high school girl) but after the 5th episode with the grandmother... hmmm.
Hmmmm, after the 5th and 6th episode, where we learn that the FL in world B dropped college because her grand-mother was sick and she needed money... she came back to pay for her grandmother's medical bills but after that, she never came back, right?
I could see, from the ML's face after learning that, that he connected the dots about "how" his friend got that money and he was devastated (escort girl, prostitute, stripper?). And then I remember the fainting spell the FL had in the 2nd episode, where she saw, in that golden light, her other self and she was dressed in a provocative way, so yeah, I suppose could have been a call girl or an escort girl (like, not having sex with her clients).
Hmm, I 'm wondering now, where is this other FL? Because at first, I thought that there was one FL, in world B and that FL in world A had died and her father had brought FL from world B because it was too hard for him.
Now, I don't know. It looks like there are two XY, since world B's XY appeared in a flash to the FL, telling her that she didn't belong here.
Unless the universe jumping means jumping into the body of a double and taking over?
Really, I don't know, there are so many possibilities. Even if we know that with China's censorship, it's very possible that in the last episode or last minutes of the last episode, it will be revealed to be a dream. Or the FL in a coma. Or the FL traveled into a book, a movie, a video game, a comic book, a tv series. Or the ML or FL was just writing a novel that we are watching. That's the kind of thing that writers and producers come up with to escape censorship.
Although, if the writers wanted to be original, they could tell that it was a social experiment that the FL agreed to for money, or another kind of experiment where she believed that world A (where she was wealthy) was her real world when it was just the Matrix world?
So, the ML's friend, the one who had vanished, was not from the B world (aka the world where the FL is poor) since the police can't find anything about him AT ALL. I think he traveled from the A (rich girl world) world to the B world.
How and why? I wonder, since the FL's father is soooo rich, if he didn't pay for the parallel world experiment? In that case, why would he do that?
Hmmm, maybe, just maybe... he lost his daughter in the A world and he found his daughter's double in the B world where she had lost her parents and was poor? So she traveled to the rich world maybe for a visit but wanted to go back to her world so she was... brainwashed to forget her real past? I find interesting that in the A world, her father is alive (not sure about her mother) while in the B world, her parents are dead. Maybe there's something here.
I'm going to watch the other episodes, this theory is based only on the first two episodes. But it's a riveting drama so far.
It's a common occurrence for haters to downrate a drama on mdl. Its happening to many other dramas too like the…
I wonder if putting the ratings down the page and not up wouldn't help? Because that's the first thing that people see and they miss out on some great dramas because of a bad rating.
Someone deliberately giving worst ratings. It is not good. From seeing that ratings, someone will not watch the…
I have noticed that lately. Before that, I wasn't paying attention but I was watching a lovely underrated rom com and it was killed in the ratings, while the reviews from people who had posted them were mostly positive.
After that, I was watching two other Cdramas, one costume drama and one fantaisy/sci-fi Cdrama and I noticed the same thing. I liked those dramas, not madly in love but those were original, well played, well written dramas (Parallel World and The legend of Zhuohua, which deserved for the first one a 9 and the second one a 8.8 at least) and I was shocked that those didn't get higher ratings.
So now I'm wary of the ratings and I pay more attention, if it's a completed drama, to the reviews because in a review, people have to explain exactly why they hated or loved a drama. And since tastes are subjective, what someone hated might be something I loved, in a drama.
And now, I'm wondering how many good dramas I have missed because I trusted the ratings instead of taking the time to read the reviews.
But yeah, it's annoying that some people are just rating bombing this drama. I have only watched 2 episodes but I plan to watch the rest. I found it well made.
i think she was dreaming. she didn't kill him this time and savored the moment with the male lead - turning the…
I had the same interpretation. She could be with him in her dreams, but in their past lives, she killed him. She wished she had made a different choice and that they would have died together, killed by their enemies, dying in each other's arms and finding each other in their next lives.
Wishful thinking. But that's what happens in her 20th life, they meet again and fall in love again.
I like to think that there was a higher being at work here, to end the endless cycle of hatred from that evil spirit, targeting our poor FL for 19 lives and leaving our poor ML stuck for 1500 years.
So I believe that when Do Ha got rid of the evil spirit and left JO's body, it got a little bonus from either that being, or from having been possessed by a benevolent ghost, Do Ha.
It allowed him to come back and to go through chemiotherapy because post-Do Ha's possession, he was sick but curable while before Do Ha, he was condemned.
Honestly, the ending makes sense considering the story told during 14 episodes. At some point, the endless cycle of hatred/reincarnations/murders/ML stuck during 1500 years had to stop.
I like to think that an invisible high entity played a part and that's why the FL could be a twin of Han Ri Ta. And also why she could see the ghost when she was a child and why she could remember her past life when none of her past incarnations did.
Same with Jun Ho being a twin of Do Ha. It helped the FL remembering her past.
Also it made sense that the evil spirit, once gone, would mean the vanishing of the ML. Jun Ho's body had served its part and the invisible entity (or call it God, Goddess of destiny or whatever) gave him another chance at life for "services rendered".
Yes, it's sad that Do Ha and the FL didn't get their happy ending in this life. But they solved their heavy baggage from their first life, paving the way for a healthy relationship in their next life.
This is a bittersweet ending but the FL got to live a long and happy life, Jun Ho got back to acting, and once the FL died, she reincarnated and met the love of her life again, free from the pain of the past.
I loved this show, I have saved all the episodes and I will watch it again.
Since the show is ending soon (today/tomorrow)...is it a BINGE or SKIP?I am a fan of historical/reincarnation/revenge-to-lovers…
It's subjective. Personally, I love this drama. And I love both eras, the past and the present. The love story is heartbreaking and complex, especially in the past and I'm really rooting for the main characters to have a happy ending.
I was excited by this drama right from the start but maybe that's because I love paranormal love stories.
The mystery is engaging, for me. And not totally over, we still don't know exactly how the FL died in her first life. Or if the ML will survive (fingers crossed he will, it looks like from the previews for episode 14 that he will).
I had never seen the main actors in other dramas so I had no bias towards them.
1 - It's a drama, not real life2 - It's complex. She's been torn about her feelings for... every episode. Even…
That was my early theory. The other one is that she wasn't mentally sane in the end. Wait and see for the last episodes. But she sure didn't look like she was totally there in the end. She killed a man, after all, his blood still on her face and clothes while the ML killed in cold blood plenty of people in front of her just after that.
This drama is disappointing, for me. The FL is not very likeable. She finished medical school and god knows it's a long, tough journey and once she reaches it, she resigns to sell... lingerie. The ML is childish and was never in a relationship??? really? He is from a wealthy family, he is sexy, he is a badass in his job, I have a hard time believing that.
On top of that, it's boring. Well, for me it is.
Sigh, the last drama I liked with a badass ML (and FL, plus liking the whole story from beginning to end) was "You are my hero" and that was what, 2 years ago? I have tried other shows with firefighters and there's always something not working for me.
I had high hope with his drama but it's not for me.
For the ones who love it, it's great that you have found something to love and watch.
