@stroppyse Yeah, I know what you mean about HH - none of it is really his fault, but you see, that's exactly what I dislike about him too. He's the boy who lives a life of privilege but doesn't know it. He's mummy's boy, but thinks he's gotten to where he is by his own talent, which actually pales against HJ's in reality. But he doesn't know any of that and instead thinks he's able to show all that "grace" to HJ by getting him on the photoshoot. Yet it's really HJ that's the one who's getting the international gigs. HH lacks self-awareness. And his mum makes the whole 'package of annoyance' complete. There's also something I'm wondering about the fashion industry there - if HJ is so highly sought after for the runway, why's he not better paid than he is after 7 years? Conned by that good-for-nothing agent for 7 years???

Just started watching this (because Park Bo Gum and Park So Dam). Am in the middle of Ep 2 and feel compelled to say - I already don’t like Hye-hyo. Pfft.

@mademoisellesia @Celebrianna @40somethingahjumma Just done watching episode 2. Some bit more insight into Jingyeom's personality. As he himself says, he doesn't treat everyone as a human. It's a likely indication that as with the bunnies and snipping off their ears when he was a child, if he has no relationship with a person/being, then there are none of those emotions (logical or otherwise) attached to them. That's why he could so readily shoot that fella twice without batting an eyelid. Fair to say that even if his prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped, it doesn't mean it doesn't work. Just likely takes more effort, and his responses for most parts are learned (such as not to kill) than a reaction to an emotional stimulus. He strikes me as a cross between Data and a Vulcan (of Star Trek pop culture). What the time card does is a curious thing - I'm thinking it opens a portal of some sort? The one he activated was his mother's? Making the things around his home float about seemed like there was some attempt by the device to bend space and time. I too am liking this confrontation with his father and them being set up as adversaries, even if for a short while. I am expecting dad to become a partner instead once he finds out mum was murdered. And speaking of mum, I expect that Prof Physicist is mum. Just which time line is she from? Separately - do Uni profs in Korea really yell at their students like they're in middle school??

Finally watched episode 1. Gawsh, miss JW's acting. He's brilliant. Got a question though: For someone who supposedly had a low ability for feeling emotions - he's supposedly unable to empathise with others - how was it that he could feel such strong emotions of grief when his mother died?

Does anyone reckon, that of the recently returned actors (likes of Ji Changwook, Kim Soohyun, Joo Won), JCW's drama choices have been the most disappointing? Or are expectations of drama storytelling quality just getting to high? Drama fatigue? Nothing seems quite so riveting to watch these days (except perhaps the recently concluded "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" <-- that was a class entirely of its own, but apparently only to viewers outside of Korea? OsmanthusTea Niang Niang...

Feels like time travel, parallel worlds and all manner of quantum physics are quite the rage this season. I'm looking forward to this primarily cos (1) sci-fi (2) Joo Won. He's been away from the screens too long.

@abs-oluteMThankfully, the drama is not with colleagues - love them, bless their wonderful souls. All the same, it's been quite exciting. Irate parents always are I suppose.

2021... seems like too long a wait... Loved Season 1.

I've been meaning to participate more, but things keep happening at work. :P Should I be glad that work continues to be exciting? I feel like I could write a drama series from what's been going on.

My first post! So nice to see many familiar names and friends here. Am loving it already! 😃 Let the good times, begin!
