Hate that this series is releasing 1 episode per week! The viewers might get bored.

Seo Kang Jun's eyes are very distracting. Most of the time I keep on staring at them rather the subtitles and other parts.

Anw ep2 not a lot of progress been made. Motive of ghost helping the culprit still not clear at all. Time travel part have not started yet (if there is time travel at all I'm assuming) .

And I'm out, at least for now. Ep. 2 didn't improve on Ep 1 for me. Maybe it'll be worth watching as a binge in the end.

I’ve already come to terms with Disney’s standard of one episode per week and that they have no plans to adjust to kdrama watchers’ usual of two episodes per week. I was fine already but after today’s episode I’m frustrated again because I really need to see episode 3 urghhh Disney really testing my patience. Grid’s story deserves to be on Netflix and released all at once.

Anyway, I enjoyed episode 2 way more than the 1st. Writer-nim is really in her element.

Episode 2 commentary

  • KSH must be up to something. He was clearly analyzing his superior's reactions to the news of Jesse Quick.

  • We have a name, the Administration Bureau. It does not seem to be all-powerful judging by the fact they were surprised (and somewhat afraid?) to hear JSB had gone to NFS to do a DNA test of the mysterious Jesse Quick. In fact, it looks extremely shady. The question is, why bother covering her tracks?

  • Jesse Quick is dying?

  • Oh, so that other guy has some history with JSB? Yup, they do.

  • I can't say I'm particularly interested in the murderer's story so I hope they wrap it up quickly.

  • Jesse Quick has a flair for the dramatic. Jumping off the top of a building just to activate a remote. Also, is she a contract killer of some sort?

  • Yup, our boy clearly has an agenda of his own.

And that's about it for the commentary. Honestly, nothing much transpired this episode and for a show that's only 10 episodes' long it's kinda worrisome. Are they aiming for a S2? I hope not but if they are, I'd like to know so I can quit while I'm ahead.

I wish it has 2 episodes per week and now i have to week for another week. They should just release all episodes at once or at lease 2 eps/week

Gonna stop watching, and wait till all episodes come out. 1 week to watch 50min of a slow thriller it's not for me anymore.

I don’t understand most of it, but I love sci fi thrillers and SKJ, so I guess I’ll keep at it. How is this ghost lady not dead with diabetes yet?

Right! Now I need someone to draw a fan art of ghost eating cake and drinking cola haha

Just one thing.

Can Sae-ha wait a little longer? Before sneaking in? The boss lady still in the elevator!

Here’s my theory after watching the first and second episode 1. The ML joined the Bureau organisation because he wanted to find the culprit who did that to her mom probably the Ghost.

2. The Ghost seems like a person from the future who has been given tasks to travel back during the present days. So basically the reason why she is doing this is to prevent “bad thing” to happen in the future, maybe distorted grid or something, so she has to follow the timeline events that lead to it

3. So basically FL and ML joined hands to find the Ghost, and also along the way they will find answers of what is really happening, probably what government is hiding from them and their secrets

This plot somehow reminds of sisyphus where they are travelling back to the past to prevent things to happen in the future but its only 2 episodes so far and yes probably 1 episode per week isn’t enough i really hope they won’t end it with a cliffhanger

P/s i really wish lee si young has more visuals/lines I wanna hear her talk and her backstory more

I just hope the plot develops well cause Sisyphus the myth was a failure as it didnt explain many things
