The 1980s anti-drug campaign can be adapted for this kdrama. Here’s my anti-Alice public service announcement now that this show has ended. This is your brain. credit: livescience It’s unblemished and intact. This is your brain after watching Alice. credit: epicurious Meaning, this drama *scrambles* your brain…but in an unappetizing way. This is the brain […]
Alice: Eps 11 and 12 Questions and Answers; Grade
1. Why am I still watching this? Because I wanted to know who this “Teacher” was. 2. Who’s the “Teacher”? It was the Catholic guy. In Kdrama, every time there’s a Catholic guy among the suspects, the Catholic guy is the bad guy. This anti-Catholic bias is insidious in kdramas, and pop culture. And I’m […]
Alice: Eps 7 and 8 Questions and Answers
Here we go again. 1. Why did the Assassin Ju Hae Min leave the bloody graffiti? On the surface, it looked as if the graffiti served as a warning that the time travel Prof Taeyi would discover would lead to deaths. She had to be stopped and killed so she wouldn’t open the Pandora’s box […]
Alice: Eps 7 & 8 Open Thread
The thread is now open for spoilers, discussion and theories. I usually dislike second female leads who are crazily head over heels in love with the hero. But in this kdrama, I’m actually rooting for DoYeon to win JG. #AnybodyButTaeYi 1. Gifs from yesdramas’ tumblr credit: yesdramas’ tumblr 2. Gifs from yesdramas’ tumblr credit: yesdramas’ […]
Alice: Miracle23’s Timeline and Q&As
Thanks for doing this, @miracle23. I’ll answer some of your questions here. I actually went back to watch from ep. 1 – 5. 13.01.1992 – ID card issued for Yoo Tae Yi (Omega TY) as Park Seon Yeong (DOB 07.10.1968). 25. y.o. Korean age. @miracle, yes, her date of birth on her Fake ID is […]
Alice: Eps 5 and 6 Questions and Answers
1. Who’s the new assassin? Well, he’s a physicist too like Prof Taeyi. He time-travelled to 2020 and bumped his old self. Because of his expertise and fascination with Schrodinger’s box, he was able to make a replica of one. That’s how he was able to write the formulae on Prof Taeyi’s wall. In case, […]

Alice: Ep 4
“Physics for Geniuses”? Lol. How about Physics for Bitches? I wondered whether I should write a post on “Physics for Bitches” like I did “Math for Bitches” in “The King: Eternal Monarch” but I decided that there wasn’t any need for it. The kdrama explains what the audience needs to know to understand the story. […]
Alice: Ep 3 Quick Takes
I’m having “The King: Eternal Monarch” post-drama/post-traumatic flashbacks with the math and people switching places with their original selves. While waiting for Episode 4, here’s my take on Episode 3. 1. Who’s this man? Well, he has the book now. He’s the unidentified guy running away here. No… I don’t think Officer Go was chasing […]
Alice: The Book of Prophesy
I view the “Book of Prophesy” like a message in the bottle. To avoid all these washed up bottles of prophesy littering the pristine shores (ha!) of my brain, I’m going to compile the passages here as they come. Episode 1 1. “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” – Arthur Clarke This is […]
Alice: Eps 1 and 2 First Impressions
Before I start with my theories, here are the characters: Heroine: Yoon TaeYi (TY) alias Park Sun Young Her Significant Other: Yoo Min Hyuk (MH) Her son: Park Jin Gyum (JG) Alice: the name of the corporation that offers a time travel “tourism.” The employees of Alice, like MH, acted as “tour guides.” They escorted […]
