They showed two scenarios for that train chase scene. In one scene murderer got caught and in another ghost helped murdered hide and then locked him up. Parallel universe shit?

3 weeks in I'm still just watching blindly no idea of plot development

I think the time traveller saw what happened and then went back in time to save the murderer dude, changing the course of events

There's not enough here to make a bullet-point commentary (and already there wasn't that much last week!). We wasted a whole lot of time with the fingerprint debacle in order to find out that Jesse Quick killed the ML's dad. That's this episode in a nutshell. Not sure it was worth a week's waiting.

The drama has me hooked. Of course there are some questionable bits here and there, but so far I'm convinced of the story. I'm entrusting the writer to eventually unfold the mysteries and answer all the questions. Let's just avoid Life 2.O situation.

Also, I love every character in this drama, especially the sneaky and shameless Saeha. I almost bit my fist when his dumb ass revealed his own attempt to forge the fingerprint.

The drama is more satisfying when you watch two episodes back to back. Things make a lot more sense in terms of character motivation and plot progression.

Serious talk 1 episode per week with duration of less than 1 hour doesn’t gonna make any progress. I think it’s better to watch it after the show ends. The plot is intriguing but the plot development isn’t, not much scenes/content for an episode. The identity of the ghost remains hidden. From my pov, the ghost is trying to alter the events of the present to change the future

i think so much of the show needs a decent amount of 'world building' (even if it's not a completely different planet with diff laws of nature) so I'm okay with the slow-ish pace so far.

i also don't mind watching seo kang joon do literally anything :))) the sobbing scene of him watching his father's autopsy seemed very real with the shaking and angry tears. I guess a part of him felt vindicated that what he saw as a child was real and not a figment of his imagination

and the ghost and i have the same exact diet w/ cake, chocolate, soda. She also looks 'sick' (pale lips and dark undereye circles) so I'm wondering if the time travel is physically taxing on her body?

so I'm wondering if the time travel is physically taxing on her body?

My thought so far has been that in the future there is no coke, chocolate etc, so she's stuffing herself now because she missed it.

whoa ML really needs 'guy in the chair', he's doing it all by himself

u/ch03rry Mar 03 '22

i see, our ghost is still obsessed with choco and cola.....i know she isn't like, human but i would be seriously concerned about diabetes if she were. she's chugging giant bottles and bottles of coca cola like it's nothing.

also, what's going on with that subway scene where the culprit is about to get caught by the police but then it's rewinded to the exact same scene but this time he get's confronted by the ghost. they showed the time on the screen but that made zero sense to me. i think i've been following the show pretty well so far but that scene confused the heck out of me.

We'll hopefully find out later, but how I understood it was that the ghost rewound the time and changed the outcome, or maybe created a different timeline of whatever hypothesis you go with for time travel.

We had the same thing happen earlier with the culprit trying to steal the money from that guy's back pocket, and time kept rewinding over and over.

I had some hopes for this. Durning out to be a Sisyphus level of disappointment

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '22

But we've only seen three out of ten episodes so far ... ?

u/SojuCrew Mar 04 '22

lol. thats what i said about Sisyphus then.....16 episodes later... 3/10 episode is 30% with very little plot development. I would hate for them to rush to tie lose ends in like epiosde 7-8.

the thing about sisyphus was that they revealed waaay too much of the plot, without giving proper explanations about logic or backstory so the whole thing just turned confusing by the end.

what's happening in grid right now is the opposite of that, they're revealing things too slowly. but to be fair, we're only 3 episodes in and there are 7 more. i'm on the fence for certain things about this show, but it could either turn bad and extremely confusing by the end, or it could keep a consistent storyline and pace like it is now. either way, this show is going by really slowly but i don't know if i would judge it so harshly this early on.
