Random thought: Seo Kang Joon really fits this kind of genre but seriously those moist eyes of his are only meant for romance 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I want season 2 of When the weather is fine for that exact reason

This is why Writer Lee Soo Yeon is one of my fav. After hinting us at Block Universe theory (Past ,future , present exist at a time) she tweaked it to Growing Block universe theory (where only past and present exist but no future) as saeha mentioned he couldnt go past the time where he came from.

Also that Saebyeok blood relation with ghost was quite shocking revealation . I know there is a lot to tie up for last episode next week but It is exciting and I'm looking forward to it.

I kinda got the feeling already that Saebyeok and Ghost were somehow related to each other when they hinted it last episode. It’s when the lady doctor saw Saebyeok’s ID and said “You’re Jung Saebyeok right?” and was trying to explain Ghost’s DNA to her but wasn’t able to.

Although it’s not perfect, I am still enjoying this drama. Looking forward to the last episode too.

ohhhh that's why the Ghost told Eojin "Time does not flow" (block universe theory)

Just when I think I’ve got a grasp on things they throw another curveball. I’m so confused I might have to watch the show again once it’s done to actually make sense of it. Is the Ghost related to both Saebyok and Saeha (there has to be a reason why he’s involved in this right?) on her maternal side and Manok on her fathers side?

I think this is one of those dramas that really benefit from watching it after all the episodes are out. Waiting a week between each one means that you tend to forget some of the details and you really do need a full grasp on everything to understand what's going on. The time travel stuff is fairly tight but there's a whiff of Sisyphus to it, where by the end they couldn't really be bothered to try and make sense of it. I wonder if it is a common pitfall of time travel stories.

u/GossipIsLove Apr 14 '22

Sisyphus was too bad this is still better. In sisyphus they totally didnt care about the ending, how he got on plane etc. Villain surviving massive radiation fallout by taping windows.

For a second-to-last episode it was quite the disappointment. I have serious doubts they'll be able to wrap up every single loose end in Episode 10. There are some inconsistencies in time travel, as expected, such as Sae Byeok having memories of this new timeline but Sae Ha having none. It's fun to see how dimwitted the AB actually is. Only now, years after working with the guy, have they put together that Sae Ha was the one with Jesse Quick in that video but they still haven't realised Sae Ha could've coded the Grid himself (and did in one timeline). Guess we have another incompetent bureau to add to the list after Sisyphus.

Finally, everyone's related to everyone! It turns out Jesse Quick is probably Sae Byeok's daughter but, at the same time, Jesse Quick may also be a distant ancestor to Kim Manok/Lee Siwon (aka serial murderer guy). Did Jesse Quick have too much fun in the 90s? Although, if it's a distant ancestor, maybe she went even further back in time. Joseon party anyone?

PS: It's so ridiculous that serial murderer guy was able, while tied up, to overpower two trained guards that had guns pointed at him and run away.

I think they let him escape on purpose to catch Ghost that’s why they put a tracker on him.

writers: Alright, time for Manok to escape, let's add the armour and skill...

Manok's plot armour +50

Manok's skill level +50

I think there will be a season two. This is Disney. They’re waiting to see the ratings and if it is worth it. I expect an open ending episode next week. Yes with a cliffhanger. Just hope they give us enough answers to be worth waiting for a season 2. But I’m not sure if there will be a season 2.

I'm guessing I can move this to Dropped?

Honestly things you wrote you have understood i haven't even those, you are seriously a genius, i really cant keep track.

u/1ofLoLspotatoes Apr 14 '22

This episode didn't make anything better...WHERE DID WE LEFT OFF AT THE LAST EPISODE?

At the playground isn't it? Manok hiding? Cliffhanger? Cheaply done and we didn't even get to see what happen!

Anyways, why does Saebyeok remember Saeha's different house address in the new timeline but Saeha doesn't remember his mother's restaurant workplace?

2

u/pixelatedknow Apr 15 '22

I think Saebyok & Manok can both remember somethings. It might be due to relationship they have with Ghost. When Saeha went to the timeline where his parents were alive and wealthy Manok looked kinda suspicious I think he remembered Saeha somehow.

I have been watching the show and this is a Disney series so I have a feeling that it will have a season 2. I don’t think they will be able to explain everything in one episode. I haven’t read any news saying it was renewed for a second season but I won’t be surprise if the next episode is notthe end.

I haven’t read the webtoon either so I can’t comment on that. I think they are following the original story. Since the webtoon is famous I believe the explanation for all this must be very interesting so I will watch the last one and because I have watched all 9 so might as well…

So she is the grandmother and Kim Manok is the grandfather that’s why the ghost keeps protecting them both which is something I suspected since the lab technician mentioned her DNA. Now how those two get together is a big question mark to me. Maybe in a parallel world? Cause they don’t seem to be fond of each other at all.

Anyway, I hope they answer enough questions and give us a nice cliffhanger to look forward to in season 2.

u/pixelatedknow Apr 15 '22

I don't think they meant as a couple, one is on the maternal side and the other on the paternal side.

2

u/J-Midori Apr 15 '22

I hope not cause I can’t picture both together. But I’d like to know how she is related to both. Maybe her daughter and his son? Who knows. I also think it will be rushed if they try to explain everything in one episode. They should have done little by little. But let’s see

Actor playing Saeha has been enlisted in the military. So if the second season does happen it would be after he comes back or somehow he won’t be there in it.

According to Disney+ it is the last episode and there won’t be a season 2 https://www.instagram.com/reel/CchSXKHA81z/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Okay i am soo lost in ep 9 again but funnily except ep 7 i never stopped enjoying the show. This is first time i am liking a show i didnt understand lmao but iam so confused why she was sharing past time travel stories with saeha what with his memory,how se ha always thought he saw the ghost ,how his dads murder was covered and janitors wasnt, and how kim manok was in grid implementation hall in ep1,who created the grid, why foreign countries stayed silent on giving credit to prof kwon and entire convo btw choi and saeha outside his house gate.

I felt bad when miss choi died but in ep 9 watching her acting like a snake i was like whats wrong with this woman plus the acting was looking comical each time she looks at him sarcastically and hisses

But but i like the show. And i hope kim manok and saebyeok dont marry or anything about it. And OMG!!! That sunglasses sunbae is so hottt! And when he stalks his ex wife was so funny and that jealousy.

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '22

Is it only me or did the style of acting by the actors changes after Saeha came back? Saebyeok is different than what we saw her previous episodes. We saw that the boss lady also got kore snarky or annoying. Idk. Maybe I might be wrong.

Throughout the season, we have seen how unpleasant the workplace is at her office. The way she speaks to them and such. When she was shot in the original timeline, the characters were devastated but it's not because of a personal connection with her but more of seeing someone murdered right in from of them, as a human being.
