- Holy shit the drone work in that chase scene.
- Welp, that was kinda anticlimactic.
- Ohh, are we starting to see aspects of the various different lives intersect? You know, this reminds me of a book I read many years ago: Ruhm (transl. „Fame“) by Daniel Kehlmann. It's a collection of short stories about nine seemingly completely unrelated people. But as you continue reading you start to realise that everything is connected in one way or another.
- Wouldn't it be interesting if Yee-jae became Jin-sang himself at some point further down the line?
- Damn. Bet Jin-sang was not expecting Tae-sang/Yee-jae to actually know about what he did.
- Now that's a FIGHT scene!
- Traumatising a man with a carton of strawberry milk, now that's something not just anyone can achieve.
- Why is he even expecting the money to still be there after he told that woman about it. Wouldn't it be logical to assume that she took it?
- Huh, it's actually still there. Wasn't expecting that.
- Ultimately I'm just a stranger on the internet and it's not my place to tell you how to feel about anything, but: You are not responsible for what your father did to himself. Please remember that.
- What the hell, he's getting double double crossed. Quadruple crossed.
- Uhhhh, so how exactly is he gonna try and evade death as a LITERAL INFANT?
- Also, the implications of a baby with adult level intelligence are wild.

- the action scenes in this series are really well filmed. their use of drones and on-board cameras are really original and inventive.
- DG I think you're starting to put your finger on what's going to happen in this drama. Hyeok-su/Tae-sang/the main character doesn't understand yet that he's repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Death wants him to understand that death is not given lightly. But he only thinks about money and revenge and torturing Jin-sang he gradually transforms a simple bully into a psychopathic madman.
- the prison population in South Korea is quite low between 55,000/60,000 prisoners and the prisons are quite well maintained, of course the prisoners can find themselves several in the same cell but they are more like small studios in which they can sleep, eat, read, watch TV etc.... but it only takes a disruptive element to arrive in a cell to create an unhealthy environment. I have a friend who is a prison guard who tells me that sometimes the guards realize that some prisoners are bullies, others only several weeks later and that at that point it is already too late. Prison may be supposed to reintegrate prisoners but the truth is that it does not work in certain countries the reintegration rate is good but most of the time prison transforms monsters into even worse monsters.
- yeh I think that all the families who have experienced suicide react the same way, they feel guilty they wonder what they could have done or what had to be changed to avoid this tragedy I think it is human. but the truth is that when you are a child or a teenager you can't imagine that this kind of thing can happen
- yes this drama is wild, the baby thing is very well done at this point in the drama I still had no idea of the death plan, I understood it in episode 6 and it's incredible this drama is very well written.

Choi Young-Jun is the choreographer you were thinking of.
I wasn't expecting the girlfriend to kill him but you called it. She should have waited for the actual instructions. Also I get the feeling that he was many hours late to their rendezvous. The only reasons she'd still be there are if she loved him that much or she was after the money.
Lucky nobody was in the pool at that pool party on the roof. Everyone was in their swimsuits but they were only using the hot tub apparently.
Another person from Alchemy of Souls! Our main character this episode and the killer from last episode were both in that show together. He was Karina's boyfriend before the internet found out and tried to have SM kick her out of the group.
I love in these types of shows where the truth is so crazy that the only way people will believe you is if you pretend you're a psychic or shaman or see dead people. He really broke that guy's mind. He needs to be admitted into a psych ward.
The action in that jail fight scene was way better than I expected from this show. When the scrawny "friend" showed up late with a weapon instead of the guards I was a little suspicious. I also completely forgot about the reason he was in juvie was killing a girl.
I guess the policy are going to pocket the money he took with him when they cleanup his body. So now he has 4 days to get the other half thinking he's outsmarting death but she put him in a baby lol.
It's only been 3 episodes out of 8 and we're already at the halfway point of lives. At first I thought he was put in a woman's body, then I though oh maybe he's in a wheel chair, then I thought maybe he was a pet but nope he's a literal baby. His chances would be significantly higher if he was a pet. I don't expect this attempt to last very long but I guess we'll find out.
Also the mysterious figure who did the hit and run I have a strong feeling I know who it is.
Well I guess it's sharing time again :) Everything below is my personal story and has nothing to do with the show. Feel free to stop reading.
I've been fortunate enough to not have any untimely deaths in my immediate family thank god, but this year I was diagnosed with a critical illness(Kidney Failure). By the time we caught it my kidney's were only functioning at about 10%. I had gone to the doctor for a regular checkup a few years ago and they noticed something was weird with my kidneys so they did an ultrasound of them but didn't find anything. They recommended that I see a specialist but since they never explained what the problem was and they just said some number in the labs was high I didn't think there was a problem and never reached out to the specialist. So now I went to the specialist and had them check the lab results from back then and they told me that my kidney's were only functioning at 40% 2 and a half years ago. If we had caught it back then there were medications that I could have taken and lifestyle changes I could have made to slow down the decay but at this point it was too late there's almost nothing left of them to save.
If my doctor back then had said "Jared, you're kidney's are only functioning at 40%" I would have gone to a specialist right away but he just said that this number of something I'd never heard of before or knew anything about was higher than normal and the ultrasound test results came back negative so I thought it was over. I often think about what if I did something differently back then. If only I'd just called the specialist and made an appointment. My kidney disease isn't curable as the kidney's are 90% scar tissue now but I could have had more time before having to go on dialysis. Thinking about it makes my angry and keeps me up at night but there's one quote that always comes to me and makes me feel better:
"So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us" - Gandalf
Yes, I know quoting Lord of the Rings may be corny but none of us can change the past and hating myself for not doing something differently back then won't get me anywhere. Even though I have significantly less time left than I previously thought I want to spend it being happy and finding joy where I can.
You're father's death was not your fault. Looking back on the past the signs always seem clearer than they actually were at the time. I just hope that you don't beat yourself up about it too much. I know I haven't gone through what you went through but I hope that whenever you're feeling down you think of the wise words of Gandalf the grey and get a chuckle out someone you've never met giving you a quote from a fictional character :)
On a brighter note I'm currently on at home dialysis not hemo dialysis which is not that bad and I'm working on getting onto the transplant list and have a willing potential donor.
I just want to mention that even though I don't have time to watch all of your videos you're my favorite reactor. Now I need to go watch the Glory which I'm sure is going to be even more enjoyable :)

Oh my god, I can't belive you know the Sleeping Dogs game, didn't expect to hear that from you😅 Also, just to point out, the cop that you said feels familiar is actually Sang Tae from It's Okay to Not be Okay. I remember the first time I've seen the actor outside of that role I also couldn't recognise him cause the whole persona and his manner of speaking and posture is different, truly an exceptional actor!
