Here’s a short note from @GB, the official chief of staff, on this blog. Lol. If President-elect Trump gets to have a chief of staff — the first female ever! — then so do I. But note: the chief of staff is chosen NOT because she’s female, but because she’s the most qualified and trusted one.
Please note that the start times for US and France at least have changed to be an hour earlier.

My goodness me and thank you so much @pkml3! I’m most delightfully honoured 😁 to be holding such a responsible ‘position’. LOLOL. I do not think I’ve done much to help you out besides haunting 👻 your threads, which are a haven to me. In fact, I wonder if I create more work for you by asking for so many threads!
By all means, if my regular forays with my crazy thoughts 🤓 help BoD, I’ll be happy to continue in the present vein.
As always, I thank you for creating this safe and happy space where we from all over the world can commune over dramas. Free time and relaxation would have been all the poorer if not for you and BoD. Good health and God’s blessings are wished for and prayed 🙏 for you! Hugs and kisses 🤗😘 and I hope you have more time to enjoy dramas and share your thoughts!!
On my way to New York City but will be back in Washington DC tomorrow. Will write longer then. 🤞
Hello all. I won’t be joining you today. Making a run to the farmer’s market this morning for a little extra time with my husband. See you all next week.
I am awake and organized for the watch! I am splitting attention right now with my grocery list!
OK @SD, happy marketing!
Hi @SD, are you watching more Pearl Girl than 365?
Hi. I’m here early and in time now. 😉
Hi @WE, good to see you on time, one hour earlier!
Hi SD, MM, GB.
OK everyone, it’s time to start NOW!
Hey we start 2 minutes before the time!
My clock says it’s 10.01pm my time.
Song associated with a killer.
@GB, we experimented a time travel phenomon I think. 😀
It’s the same song that the whole series started with. The song of misdirection, I call it. Sounds so smooth and sweet but is associated with a Killer.
@WE, more likely you need to check your clock!
roy Orbison
@MM, yes, the singer.
All Killer’s trophy cases are filled. What’s he going to do about other victim’s tropies?
Audio helmet as emblematic item of bratty gamer.
Serial killer with trophies. I don’t like serial killers stories as a generality. It’s now difficult to find killers with new motivations or way to act. Probably writers already did everything that could be found about that.
I felt that knife stab.
@WE are you trying to write a serial killer screenplay?
@GB, my clock is automatic, it’s microsoft computer one, probably why it’s retarded. ^^
Oh s*** He is gathering the souls!
@GB absolutly not. I won’t try that. Detective stories + serial killer is the genre I like the less.
@MM, I admit that I didn’t feel much for Bratty Gamer although I cringe at pain infliction as a rule. At killing/scenes of cruelty, I put down the volume or remove the ear buds so that the sounds don’t get to me.
Killer now hears more about Lee Shin and how she would know who the killer is,
Is the killer happily humming the roy orbison tune?
Hah! Sun Ho is not too pleased that HJ unknowingly calls him a heinous murderer. HJ does not tell him that he died and was saved in the reset.
They are such good friends, it’s actually sad.
@MM Yes Killer is humming that tune.
LOL the funny that comes in once in a while – so well done. The police couple and their wedding invitations – cute!
Now the killer is with them… but they don’t know.
FL could be murdered easely. ML maybe not, as Sun Ho has still a bit of friendship for him.
@GB, yep, HJ didn’t reveal SH was dead, I think the writer want to use that for the right moment.
Breaking the wall, in a way when SH asks the question we have all been wondering about.
So much misdirection. People look so innocent when they are extremely guilty.
The question of the 7-month hiatus comes up. And we find that Sun Ho confirms the reset with Bae.
Sun Ho had many clues already about the Reset.
@MM, which question are you referring to that SH asked?
Killer is wondering how come all the people he killed are linked to Zian Clinic.
Huge revelations flashback montage. ^^
I really should do the full breakdown of 365.
cant remember exactly the question about how this happened in light of the time travel
There was an interesting tension created by Hj not telling SH about preventing his death.
@WE, when Killer says he should be bolder it sounds like he’s moving from making the killings look like accidents to letting them look like murder. That’s what happened from Se Rin’s death onwards.
Later on he says he had no reason to kill he just did because they were destined to die and he was destined to kill.
@GB, it’s big revelation for the killer himself. Just think: he killed many people and suddenly realizes that they all comes from future! What a mystery about fate. And what he will do out of that.
sh’S QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER HE GOT A SPECIAL PROMOTION IS FORESHADOWING ABOUT THE INCIDENT THAT SET HIM OFF AS A KILLER, IF i REMEMBER CORRECTLY.
sorry
@MM, Killer also asked those kinds of questions of Lee Shin… things he didn’t understand about the time travel.
Now we have a throwaway scene that’s actually important… GH finds out that a Detective had been searching for Young Woong.
@WE, put that way, it’s mind blowing. How can the people I choose to kill in 2019 come back from 2020 and are alive for me to kill now?
@MM, well technically that question is not a foreshadowing because he did get the promotion in the past and started killing from that time. But it really begs the question of when he did get that promotion.
A trap making that JH is suspected of murder. The kind of trouble we often see, making life painful for heroes.
Sun Ho meets Lee Shin.
I expect a good scene here.
@WE Killer did not expect HJ to make a run for it and disappear like that.
@WE, the good meetings… Killer and GH, Killer and Lee Shin.
He finds out how smart GH is and that she might figure out easily that he’s the one.
Now Killer is in the ‘fish bowl’ with Lee Shin. She’s smart enough to avoid giving him info.
The scene let me with a taste of:
– You suspect someone?
– No.
Lee Shin smiles, and there is a kind of moment like Sun Ho knows she suspects him but will do nothing to prevent him to continue to kill.
Villains alliance? ^^
@WE, Lee Shin told the truth. She did not need to suspect anyone because she knew it was him.
@GB, it’s the cherry on the cake. 😀
The video of lion hunting its prey in the killer’s lair conveys the notion of fate-destined to kill, destined to die
@WE, Show has more than 1 cherry or reverse cherries. Good, surprising info. Sun Ho behaves like a real buddy but he’s killing 2 birds with one stone by befriending GH and helping HJ while getting info from him.
The killer controls the situation for now. But of course, Lee Shin over-controls it! Wah Ah ah AHHa ha ah.
@MM, yes. I never understood how people could have the same scenes replaying all the time so big and bright on a wall. I guess the video clip met Killer’s idea of his destiny.
@WE the Cherry of the irony of HJ as Detective chasing Sun Ho as the Killer just after they’d been spending time together as friends. And SH having a temper tantrum LOL.
Hwang looks more suspicious with the cardamom traces in the box left at Bae’s place just before he died. Now GH and HJ know that Hwang has been hiding stuff and possibly lying.
We are watching the lies of Hwang but we don’t know it. It looks like the truth, the conversation: he had with Lee Shin.
I was too much ahead of time in a previous episode comment. It’s only now we get the revelation that Lee Shin resets because of her daughter (but of course, we could guess it).
I wonder why the photos of the dead victims were left in Bae’s home. HJ knew that Bae could not have been the killer, so why?
Hwang gives 1 bit of info that its Young Ae who’s dying and not Lee Shin.
45:40, good scene of car going to the mysterious cliff.
Lee Shin first reset I presume.
Oops, I forgot: here we get the feeling Lee Shin suicides herself and could get the information about time travel by accident.
@WE, this part about her suicide is confusing because in the next episode, we see her asking Hwang aobut whether she really could reset or not. So did she find out by accident, or did he introduce her to the reset?
GH visits HJ and I like how this time she’s not hesitant about working together to catch the killer. She is the one to initiate the fist bump this time.
@WE, great addition of suspense… GH tells Killer that someone can identify the Detective who was searching for Young Woong. So is GH or the others who are identifying the Killer at risk?
@GB, Yep, and I think it’s a red-hering from the writer! Makes us believe Lee Shin found out by herself but not saying exactly the truth about that, so we don’t suspect Hwang too much now, and we keep to be in foreshadowing about him. By the way, he was assaulted by Sun Ho, to blurry more his case.
It’s how the writer outsmarts us. 🙂
Then the Cherry, because GH has discovered who the Killer is, but she successfully hid this from Killer.
What GH is saying about SH, the one they trusted the most and the closest one is the most unsuspected and therefore the one who can best commit crimes. The cherry comes in the next episode.
Now HJ takes SH’s car and really gets around.
HJ uses his fantastic memory to check on things SH told him and finds out that SH had falsified a witness and lied about the charcoal briquettes.
Now we get flashback in the circular floor of the Zian Clinic hall and see that we were lied to when we were told Lee Shin had saved the resetters one by one. All she did was get the Killer killed so that none of the resetters died.
Double cliffhanger:
GH about to be killed by SunHo.
+JH unexpectedly going to surrender.
According to Lee Shin, HJ did not die before so although Oh Myung Chul tried to kill him, he still survived. Which means that he’s the only resetter who did not die.
@WE, yes, I like this ending… it feels so tremendous that 2 big suspenseful things are happening at once and we don’t get to see what until the next episode.
I am.
Still back at thirteen minutes in episode two.
@MM, you went back to Episode 2? Why did you choose that episode?
@GB, about JH surrender, it’s a “surprise first/explain later”. 🙂
@WE There are more explain later scenes in the last 2 episodes. This series is chock full of them. first misdirect and show viewers the ‘lie’ then after come crucial scenes, do flashback of what really happened. No wonder I was always finding it hard to get a handle on the plot.
20
@MM I’m rewatching Ep 12 (or 23-24).
Now I ended to rewatch dramas, including “cheat on me if you can”.
So I will continue on Nokdu Flower that I put on-hold.
I wish you all a good week!!
Bye @WE!
Was that entire explanation by Hwang About his visit to The psychiatrist a misdirect then?
I rewatched a few weeks ago and I could do it all over again!
@MM, yes he was lying about that conversation with Lee Shin. He mixes truth with lies so it’s hard to know what’s what. There was so much misdirection in this show that I cannot recall the flow of the story after a while.
Bye ,@WE @GB
Bye @MM!
I Had started this drama On my
Own but could not keep track. Watching with others has helped me understand it so much better and follow The story.
Thank you
