Can we have one episode where Seon Kyeong is not crying 😢 also if Myeol Mang ruins everything how come he is able to do such sweet things for Dong Kyeon? 🤔

thank you, OP!!! I was waiting for this post!!

it took me a while to watch it bc I keep pausing!!
the fact the two leads know the other likes them too, it's putting me a bit nervous. WE got another propper kiss!!!

SO the deity is order/god. when she was speaking to Dong Kyung I dont know if she was meaning humans or Dong kyung,bc she speak to her as they knew each other its Dong kyung like the opposite of Doom? deity? did she meet Myeol Mang in another life? or many other lives? SO deity order/god is gonna make Dong kyung immortal?

Joo Ik is shady AH so he is been in love with Ji Na since when? I love seeing him more.

Hyun Kyu you reason to break up DO not make sense!!!! she waits and cry for you outside of you apartment for god knows how long!! you do not deserve her move on please.

lol i think joo ik is so beautiful that it completely obscured for me that we don't really know/understand since when he's been in love with jina — the kiss was really random.. he definitely has pretty privilege

hyunkyu's break-up reason was so cowardly yikes

i really like your theories on the deity and the main leads!

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

the kiss was so uncalled for, like why you kiss somebody who is crying for someone else?? so rude.

I'm still a little confused with the deity and doom LOL

And I like our 2nd couple love triangle but please don't make Na Jina cry. She seems like a very good friend and nice person. She's already been hurt before, she doesn't deserve another heartbreak. 💔 So why did they break up? Coz he needs to go study abroad?

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

na jina is such a sweet friend! i think he wanted to break up because he was embarrassed that he did not make it into university or something? and then he pretended to study abroad to not face her. it was a weird reason and he should've been honest with her. i watched the ep a while ago so i kind of forgot

i'm also a little bit confused still but we're getting bits and pieces. what the user above says, it seems like she's a gardener/maintaining order in the world and has created myeolmang. she acts a little bit like an overprotective mother over him trying to keep him in place and teach him lessons, not letting him be his own person

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

yeah like broadcities say, he broke up with her bc he was so embarrassed he didn't pass the exam. he also say he love her so much and that why he let her go, so I guess he never feels good enough for her.

I too I'm confused about deity and doom! I saw someone on tumblr call her god and him death so is maybe its a religious thing??

The reason why Hyun Gyu's and Ji Na's relationship ended/went nowhere was so dumb. Getting indigestion due to rice cake and missing out on your SAT should not be the reason why you go into hiding/said you studied abroad. The internet is a thing now so you guys could have kept in contact. Joo Ik and Ji Na look better together, but I don't like that he kissed her without permission. Thinking that she was pretty does not mean that you should kiss her.

I think that Dong Kyung and Doom getting together is a bit too fast. They barely know each other, but they are already saying that they love each other. How is Doom going to help Dong Kyung continue living?

I'm still confused about God(?) and Doom. God seems like she wants to protect Doom from heartbreak, but why is it so bad for Doom to experience love? Can the writer please explain the world this drama takes place in more please

[sweetestbliss1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Dong Kyung and Doom's relationship is a bit underdeveloped. We barely got to the halfway point and she already likes him? It's even less believable for him to have fallen for her already since he was so scorned about the world/people before. I feel like more should have happened first before them confessing to each other. The confession could have waited another episode or two.

I need some more info about this world, too. If Doom dies, will he just be reincarnated or will someone else become doom? And the plant finally sprouted...because Doom finally learned how to pity someone? So the more he pities someone, the more the plant will grow? And then what? Does he get the chance to live as a human once the plant is fully grown? Will a new Doom sprout from the plant? LOL.

The Deity is creation/ life. I assume she is reincarnated infinitely. Which is why Doom was crying at her funeral. Because he has to wait for her to reincarnate and grow up so he has someone to talk to.

[sweetestbliss1.livejournal.com]

That makes sense. So she created him and he can't die unless she lets him. And maybe he'll only die/be reincarnated once he learns to be empathetic. He has started doing so via Dong Kyung and the more he does, the more the plant will grow....and he'll be free once it is fully grown? SHRUG.
