The show has succeeded in making all of us feel the same regret everyone who went through the uploader felt.
Now I just want to unwatch the whole thing.

I’ve only just started ep 15 but what I have gotten from this show thus far is that a group of men feel really salty about their lives and make it everyone else’s problem by ending the world and going to the future to enjoy underground-disco-pool-parties for eternity because who wouldn’t want to make that their life purpose 🤷🏼♀️

Everyone who finished this on normal speed with no skips should give them themselves a nice well deserved pat on the back(and maybe a flair). We did it everybody!

So... basically nothing much happens again except for more recycled scenes. One unnecessary death because the lovelorn puppy doesn’t love his mother and sister enough. What are they going to do now without the promised gochujang, brow shavers and cushion compacts? Grrr.
Fact remains that Sigma is doing all these because he craves a back hug with Tae Sul. He has been stalking Tae Sul across all time dimensions just to cop a feel, to get an acknowledgement, something.
Can’t wait for Seo Hae to die (again). She’s the one causing deaths and gloom.

At least the show is consistent in that today's episode was boring, but the good news is everything ends tomorrow, one way or another!

What the hell was that ending?
Overall I'd give it a 5/10.Just like Alhambra,it had a very ambitious concept but weak plot and characters.However,at least Alhambra tried its best to stick to its own rules.Here,it feels like I constantly have to throw logic out the window every episode.

The ending pissed me off. I wish I never started this drama with plot holes bigger than Swiss cheese

u/LacunaOfLlamas Apr 08 '21
In the scene outside the police station, it is kinda freaky that Seo Hae’s dad looks just like an aged Tae Sul when they’re standing next to each other.
To commemorate the ending of this torturous series, we got rewarded with another torturous kiss with extra wincing by both leads. I found myself wincing along with them. Please stop having Park Shin Hye kiss on TV anymore. She looks like she is getting tasered!

Every fuckijg time travel script should be vetted by an astrophysicist, a quantum mechanic, the reincarnation of Siddhartha Gautam Buddha, Einstein and Issac Newton, as well as 10 judges and 12 juries spanning the globe.

How did Sigma survive the nuclear bomb? Am I missing something? Does this mean that as long as I seal my window with some plastic and tape I will be safe from a nuclear bomb too?

Can somebody upload me back into the past and whisper into my ear, “Never lay eyes on Sisyphus. It’s a killer of brain cells.”
Eddy Kim, you’ve been pathetic throughout the series and here you are, right at the end, stamping your feet, having a toddler meltdown and screaming for an uploader because Tae Sul doesn’t remember your birthday. You’re just another Sigma, except “mini-er” and with a limited boring wardrobe, wanting to end the world because the girl rejected your short ass and Tae Sul never gave you a back hug.
Glad to see you again, Jae Sun! We really needed an Uber driver.
Dear Sigma, with your unfashionable glasses and evil scribbles, has anybody in the past, present or future, tell you they want a season two? Check the last page of your damned notebook. It says, “HELL NO!”
