I'm soo excited that you are watching this show! It's one of my favorite series I've ever watched and the only K-Drama I actually ever finished hahaha (I have started to watch quite a few, especially ones that are highly recommended, but somehow they never interest me enough to keep watching them - this is the only exeption for now hahah)
I think this drama flew under the radar a little bit, I haven't seen much buzz around it either or it might be one of those shows that people either love or hate. (I hope you'll love it!)
Two things that I wanted to highlight here:
1. The identity of the girl on the rooftop. They never clearly state who/what she is, but one of the first things Doom says to her is "What kind of a god runs the world so recklessly? Are you bored at the hospital?", after showing her the blood on his doctors coat. He is basically accusing her of creating a world filled with evil out of boredom - which is a pretty telling sign for what she actually is (god).
2. This is actually something I only realised the second time I watched this. At the end, when Dong-gyeong falls down in the street, nearly gets run over and time gets frozen, Doom says: "So god is on my side, after all", which suggest that it wasn't actually him who stopped time, but god. Which in turn poses the question - Why? Why would she (god) intervene in this particular instance, does she want them to make the 100 day-wishing for Doomsday-Deal, why would she want that, whats gods plan with all of this?
I'm really looking foward to re-watching this entire series with you guys. I personally was fascinated with the entire premise of this drama and I loved how much focus was put on showing the emotions Dong-gyeong is going through. (that might have been the reason why it felt a bit slow for you Josh - they had a lot of shots of her just walking and nothing happening, to show how lost and confused she was feeling in that moment. For me personally, I really enjoyed those shots, but I totally understand how it might make it feel a bit slow at times, even though there was a lot happening in the episode)
Already looking forward to the next episode!
Josh, I hope you get well soon!

The guy that he saved in the beginning it wasn't like " oh, I'm going to save your life so you'll live happily" it was " I'm not going to let you die that easy after you stabbed all those people pretending to be Doom, I'm going to make you suffer first ". Thanks for the reaction and I hope next month Taxi Driver wins, it's such a good kdramas. Wich you get well soon Josh.
