  1. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Many thanks @pkml3!

  2. Hello all. I am traveling with insufficient access to internet. I hope to join you again next week.

  3. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Hi @SD, thanks for letting us know. See you next week (we hope!) with good, constant Internet! 🙂

  4. My pleasure, @GB!

  5. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Hello Everyone, I’m here, and moving around watching My Sibling’s Romance. I need to remember to tune in to Signal!!!

  6. Hi here!

  7. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    It’s time to start!!!

  8. Hello @WE, let’s start!

  9. Hi all!

  10. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Hi @WE Great! … starting …

  11. Hi GB, so it started.
    Do you watch the generic (music) and resume?

  12. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Hi @FF, yes started. We get some good recaps of last episode.

  13. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Hi @Hana! Glad you can join us!!

  14. I always like the theme song at the start of the drama, the guitar sounds so raw, unpolished and nostalgic.

  15. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @WE, yes, today I’m letting the music and resume go on as I greet all of us here.

    Now I see poor HY shaking so badly and slapping himself LOL. He’s in Twilight Zone!!!

  16. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @FF, Yes, this show has the most nostalgic sounding music and more than 1 piece I think.

    Everyone does not notice the change in history except HY.

  17. Hi FF and HAna.
    Mmmh… HN or HA or NA ?!

    So he experimented his first Slllwrrrwppppp but without memories flashes?! So he’s unable to remember a time change and only see the external changes?

  18. Hi @GB, Hi @ Hana.

    PKH notices the change in the status of the victim but he is the only person who knows of the change.

  19. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @WE What do you mean memory flashes? HY or JH?

  20. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @FF, yes and that remains that way for a very long time.

  21. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Hi @Hana, we will call you @HN for short. We address each other when we exchange messages and as we’re doing it asap, we shorten our handles to 2 alphabets. LOL.

  22. gosh this guy is angry, is he the killer?

  23. @GB, Hae Young:
    He sees the board change.
    BUT if time changed and his memory too, he should remember the board is different in his new memory of the new timeline. So it looks like he has no memory change. Even if his life get changed (here, just about information), he remember only his life of the first timeline, not the actualised new lifes.

  24. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Hah! JH is so proud of himself … he did change history. However there was a mistake. And then the radio signal comes in at 11:33pm …

  25. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Hi @HN, the angry guy is the ex-chief of the station that got into trouble because JH made a mistake in arresting the wrong man… and the man will die in police custody. Angry man may have lost his job as a result of JH’s mistake.

  26. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @WE, to HY there is only one timeline. The changes are taking place in his timeline.

    This episode he finally is aware that JH is really calling him from 1989.

  27. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Do we know how many minutes they have the radio signal for? Less than ten minutes?

  28. @GB thanks!
    Was it Choi Young Shin that attacked JH? Why?

  29. @GB, it’s ONE minute.

  30. @GB, I don’t think the show told us how long the conversations were but it seems to me like 2-3 minutes only.

  31. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    The bus driver runs around and recognises the 8th victim, Min Joo,…one of the bus conductors on his bus.

    HY is so disappointed that he could not prevent another death in the past.

  32. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @HN, no Choi Young Shin was an innocent guy who was mistakenly arrested by JH.

  33. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @WE!!! No way can they say as much as they do and pause for so long in ONE minute!!! I’d say 5-10 minutes.

    HY is at the library looking through old newspapers. He notes that even the news articles have changed. He sees a photo of Jae Han in the papers. So now he knows which Lee Jae Han it is and that he really lived in that time, that he was the investigating officer and that the transmissions he made were real.

  34. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @FF, thanks… yes, definitely more than 1 minute. So frustrating when they have to communicate something so important!!!

  35. 20:00, he hesitates about to say her the truth, but it’s really not the kind of woman ready to accept such a thing for now. ahah.

  36. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    The daughter of the survivor, Lee mi Sun, calls them back and apologises for her father’s behaviour.

    She says that if Jae Han had not been at that spot in that exact time, and found her mother, she would not have been born because her mum was pregnant with her then.

    So now HY realises that by giving JH info over the Walkie-talkie, he had actually saved the baby who now was a young woman speaking with them.

  37. @WE, about PHY not experiencing memory change. The male lead in Queen InHyun’s man also did not experience memory change or did he?

  38. @FF, the show tell us at one point how many time. I remember ONE minute. But you can rely on my bad memory so it could be TWO minutes instead. Ahaha. Still, don’t hope too hard. 😀

  39. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @WE, yeah, Soo Hyun would take time to accept that the man she loved in her past was communicating with the rookie profiler from the past. Worse of all, he was not communicating with her after she’d been looking for him.

  40. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @WE, at least SH says: “I would ask someone to protect a person important to me. If I could communicate with the past, that is…” So we know that she’d want someone to protect JH who was now gone.

    HY thinks he made a mess by giving info to JH of the past. But SH says better to do something than to do nothing. “If I do nothing, I’d regret it. Isn’t it better to try something even if it becomes a mess?”

  41. @FF, QIHM, Male lead have no reason to have memory change, because he goes in the past, so the present here, any event is new, there is no change of this past. And when he’s in present time, he looks at historical archive to know the change. In a way the script is made so there is no memory change like there is in 9, because the time gap is too high. (300 years or something like that).

  42. PHY found justification to continue the conversation with LJH.

    Why does PHY write the heading on the whiteboard in Chinese characters?

  43. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @WE, HY does remember the board from before and now… he records the changes and vows to find the killer.

  44. JH is shy in a surhuman way.
    Touching scene with the girl he loves.
    And SO SAD when we know what’s coming next.
    Hence, this scene here on purpose to break our heart later.

  45. Hi all, it’s 10:26 here and I see only the original 5 comments. Will check back later for some enlightenment. Not sure who or what to suspect now that serial killer possibly has resurfaced after 26 years.

  46. @GB, but what I mean: if his memory changed, he would remember the board changed, even before to see it. So, let’s say: you kill JH mom in the past, when she’s in real alive. When time change happens: JH doesn’t know his mom is dead because there is no memory refresh. He remains once and always the JH from the first timeline.

  47. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @WE, JH is supposed to be pretty young in 1989… still so shy and easily embarrassed over a girl LOL. He literally runs away until she calls him back.

    She’s the one who wants to ask him out but is too shy as well… usually a girl should not make the first move.

    The taser is a very important gift.

  48. @FF i believe official or important documents are written in chinese characaters/hanja

  49. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Hi @LL, did you refresh your page? We’re into 30:00 of the Show already and with many comments.

  50. @GB, oh shit, I wanted to say KH, the actual guy. Mistake, erase, not JH but KH, taxi driver (fuk! I’ll call him like that now)

  51. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @WE, if you’re speaking of HY, I understand that if there’s a memory refresh, he’d know it but it’s true there’s no refresh of memory. He retains only the past memory and needs to be updated by the white board or by the newspaper.

    JH of course will not know until HY tells him so no diff to JH.

  52. The bus driver lie like hell, it’s so written on his face. Even the actor is guilty (I don’t know why).

  53. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @WE… wait Who is KH? You mean bus driver? What taxi driver?

  54. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    LOL @WE, yes the bus driver looked guilty all the time.

  55. @WE, do you mean Park Hae Yong? We call him PHY or HY …. he was the taxi driver in the other drama Taxi.

  56. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Soo Hyun is so smart to put things together and figure out that the people all took the bus along the bus 95 route. Only HY takes her seriously.

    In the past, JH recreates the chase and remembers the bus too.

  57. The way FL changed is quite nice: she was a shy girl, and after being in a rough cops world, she became a rough cop! And in a way, also a rough cop like the man she admired (JH) and probably was in love with, without confessing to him.

  58. Bus driver is not telling the truth.

  59. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @WE, yes, SH’s change was for the better. She became a good team leader and a tough detective but did not lose her feminine side.

  60. villain uniform: black cap and bomber jacket

  61. @GB, yeah, KH is Taxi Driver for me now. Tshoo!

  62. @HN, it would be a plot-hole without a black cap. 🙂

  63. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @HN, the clothes of the Killer are so common, I never could see how that kind of description could help the police!

  64. Guy Hiol has problem with one of his old sunbae.
    But, LIEUTENANT Park is here to make clear he’s the high place in the HIERARCHY. ahaha. Silly.

  65. So many people like to wear black! It is easy for the perpetrator to escape and difficult for police to identify them.

  66. Taxi Driver, determined: I’ll fix this, if it’s not too late. So absurd for the FL.

  67. Worst thing ever: JH lost the control or the talkie. How frustrating for us. So unfair, as it’s what needed the screenwriter to make sure the girl will be killed!!! ARRhhahHAAHHA!!!

  68. OF the talkie (not “or”), typing to fast.

  69. @WE haha he is Taxi Driver indeed
    FL had her hands tied by her instructions but she was right to remind HY to remain objective

  70. Why does the policeman not wake up? LJH is shouting so loudly, how can the policeman sleep while on duty?

  71. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @HN, SH hears that HY mentions radio transmissions but he walks off without explaining.

    JH in the past cannot explain how he knows what he knew. He loses his badge and walkie talkie and ends up in jail LOL.

  72. If I had to rewrite a bit the drama, I would do this: make JH suspect KH is the serial killer. Because he predict murders by the talkie, so it’s as if he was about to commiting them.
    However, the accidental death of the guy in the police station help to dissipate this doubt.

  73. @FF, it’s just designed to make you mad. 😀

  74. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @FF, precisely … those times the police were too brutal and had a bad attitude. That’s why HY says in the beginning that the cold cases took place because their investigation was such a mess.

  75. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @WE, the radio transmissions were quite long this time when JH was in prison.

  76. Episode end on: we don’t know if he will be able to prevent the death of the woman he loves.
    Gosh.

  77. Give her a call!

  78. @GB, I don’t want to hear anything but the official time of communication declaration, coming soon or later in the drama. Ahaha! 🙂

  79. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @HN, the attitude of the police was too indifferent at times. That’s why so many cases were not properly investigated or solved.

  80. JH should give her a call! She’s next to a phone. Although that may offer too much protection…

  81. The clock shows 8 o’clock but the colleague of Won Kyung said 7.30pm, so weird.

  82. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @WE, when JH shouted like crazy he saw the clock in the police station was at 8.00pm. He wanted to call the girl and warn her. But the radio transmission should have been 11:33pm … was it only in HY’s time that it’s 11:33pm? I thought JH also received the transmissions at 11:33pm, but maybe not???

  83. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @FF, I think more time passed than we know. JH must have been shouting like crazy for over half an hour! Poor Won Kyung.

  84. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @HN, I don’t think JH had any phone next to him.

  85. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    What a cliffhanger!!! So hard not to go and watch Episode 4 immediately.

  86. @GB, I don’t know the horaire (time) when JH get the communication. Alas.

    I’ve to go now. Have a good week!

  87. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Bye @WE and everyone!!! We’ll be coming back here during the week so keep your comments coming.

  88. @GB, when PHY ended his monologue over the walkie talkie, LJH looked at his watch and then looked at wall clock. The clock shows few minutes past 12 but before 12:05. PHY started his monologue at 11:23pm which means he was talking for about half an hour.

    LJH must have been locked up overnight because when he requested to make a phone call, he mentioned that someone will die tonight. That is why KHY stayed overnight in office waiting to see if there is still a 9th victim. And he realised that they did not managed to save Won Kyung.

    At Won Kyung’s office the clock shows 8pm but Won Kyung’s colleague says it is past 7.30pm. Can’t she just say it is already 8pm?

  89. Bye @WE, @GE and the rest.

  90. Thanks and bye all! Have a good weekend

  91. Watched 12:12 The Day, a recently released K film about a military coup in Korea during late 1970’s. I chuckled during this very serious movie when I saw the actor who was ridiculously annoying in Nine playing the role of President. Hard to see him in a different role🤪😂

  92. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    Thanks @FF for setting out the times on the clock and mentioning that it was an overnight stay in prison… I’m still a bit confused. But HY did tell SH that the killing took place 2 days after the 8th one, so there could have been an overnight stay in prison.

  93. Oops! Should have said “ridiculously annoying villain”

  94. GrowingBeautifully (GB)

    @LL, I will never be able to see our annoying villain of Nine: 9 as any other character! The only show where he was okay to my eyes was Move to Heaven, I believe. He was one of the clients in Episode 6 of that show.

  95. @GB haha that’s true there were no mobile phones back in ‘89 so JH couldn’t have called Won Kyung
