season 2 pls. Too many open ended bits like how did Il Deung's parents in the end cope with him giving up on high school (not very realistic. I would have thought he'd at least finish his A level even without doing his vey best ... He could have then gone to the army and maybe hisen a career there. Even if his family's traditional career is law, he could have become a uni prof, a teacher, a shopowner etc. Is Il Deung happy now that he is in conrol of his own future? What has become of him? Rieul disappeared. Will he return? Is he happy? CAn he make a living being a magician? Will he visit Ayi? Who does Ayi end up with: rieul or il deung? What happened to Ayi;s mum? Will she come back? I just find it incredible that parents can abandon their kids aged 10 and 4 without social services or a neighbour stepping in. It's not realistic, is it? But it does pose a valid question: what makes a good mature happy adult?

i found it really interesting, not once boring. Perhaps frustrating in the sense that Shuntaro's choice, Aya, was not really mature or honest enough to have the guts to say "no" to Shuntaro who's been nothing but a gentleman, trying to draw her out, making her feel comfortable, desired, wanting to get to know her, her parents, her dog, her flat. He was right. She was avoiding him. To say he behaved like a boss was just a way to make him stop asking personaI questions. I don't get it (other thn the huge age gap obvs) why she didn't open up to him. In retrospect, it seems to me that she just picked him after not havg been chosen by 2 others. That knocked her confidence. I also think it's partly to do with saving face, very important to Jap people. The dermatologist picked his girlfriend for her quirks. Ironically these quirks started to irk him. She then tried to hold back, change herself for him but the best couples are those who are tolerant of the other's "quirks/foibles". It was a pleasure to watch. All 8 initial couples really put in the effort of questioning themselves, reflecting on their strenghts and weaknesses, accepting the very gentle very diplomatic criticisms bar Aya. I would say she is the only one who disppointed me. And Yudai for not being honest with Nana. Again I think the big age gap is to blame but at least they finished it during their 3 day retreat rather than dragging things out and leading the other person on which to me is unforgivable. Shuntaro, please believe me that there is a lady out there for you. Who knows she may very well get in touch with you after watching the show :-)

Great scifi! fantastic plot, ML + FL excellent. Is thought provoking as the FL plays 2 persona which can be confusing for some but I found the difference was crystal clear. Same with JooWoon: his detective self and end self (older) are 2 totally different characters and he plays it brilliantly. You feel the different vibe straight away. As for the use of symbolism Omega and what looks like capital E (the summation, sum total) is just genius. Am a sucker for happy endings, so thanks writer for that as well. Why the title "Alice"? I think because the writer thought of Alice in Wonderland as she falls into a different world/dimension. Time travel can be linear but also parallel. The latter option seems to be a fav with Kdrama writers, eg Sisyphus, The Monarch (nod to rabbit). Actually more like the mix of both. Netflix streamlines both. Do watch. I highly recommend

it's very original, heartwarming, uplifting, discusses also Alzheimer's and how the affected (grandpa) hides it from his family trying to cope with it on his own by writing verything down; how a stranger Chaeroki deals with it and then informs the son who is a doctor and then the rest family not knowing that Haenama, the grandma, has overheard the chat and decides to wait for the husband to tell her not wanting to hurt his pride, confidence and not stand in the way of his dream. How both respect, love and have each other's back after 50 years being married, not taking each other for granted which is the secret of a good marriage in my opinion; how the family rallies round their dad/grandpa; how teacher and pupil (Chaeroki/grandpa, Chaeroki/his ballet teacher, C's coach dad/Hi Beom), the latter and his ex-wife who remarry, C and is dad how they all learn from each other to respect and to ask for forgiveness. It is just a beautiful series: thank you writer, actors, actresses, producer, Netflix. It's an understated and undervalued series (noticed that in Korea ratings were 2.5%, maybe that's why it's not 16 ep. Ep 11 is def. my favourite. There is nothing I do not like! xxx
