  1. @nrllee your analysis about Haru is spot on....Its not in his control that he is an Extra with sole purpose of being a friend/lackey to Kyung...so he has no family, house or relations, what is surprising is he doesn't care much about that....his friendships are all through Dan Oh...Saemi, Sochul and Deo Hwa all know him via Dan Oh....if you lay out the fact the only reason he even attempted to change the stage for Deo Hwa was because of Dan Oh...he is not particularly invested in anything else....he always sits alone, he is not particularly friendly like Deo Hwa or Jin Michae or does not seek them out....Dan Oh on the other hand has a dad, friends, family and all of that mean something to her...in other words as magical as it all looks...their relationship is off balance in a way...I always found it odd.....don't get me wrong, I love them together....but where is it all headed?? I sometimes wonder that.

  2. Baek Kyung did not kill Danoh...he did remove her Oxygen mask but put it back on when realized that he was doing the same thing to her like the previous story....Danoh just died as was intended in shadow....ans she was stable when Haru walked in

    As for what I feel about Kyung....up until the revelation he has been pretty one note...atleast that's how he is written...a guy desperately holding on to his Manhwa storyline as his silver lining and Danoh as well...does he love Dan Oh, yes...in the most toxic, complicated way possible ..did he love her in Trumpet Creeper....I think he did but he was not self aware as much as he is in here...hence he regretted putting that sword in her...I must applaud Lee Jae Wook here....writers of the drama has given him a pretty black and white canvas...nuances were added by him...or else in the hands of a lesser actor, I can say with confidence, this would be a disaster...I for one liked that they pushed him to the point of almost killing Dan Oh in shadow...his burden is heavier in the shadow...that's gotta mess you up...I liked that he backed away with realization that he doesn't have to stay the same as the previous Manhwa...where selfishness, ego drove every part of his actions, its up to him to do things differently....It also gives me hope that he will be the one reuniting Dan Oh with Haru...we will have to wait and watch

    Seriously, what should I do with my swollen eyes now! My stages will begin in an hour. Sighh.... why they make me cry so much!!! 

     

    So the writer switched DO's healthy shadow to stage. What was that??? Does what JMC said truly happen??? What happens before the next scenes changed to amnesiac DO??? Did she die on the shadow or what?? Writer don't tell me you'd take her self-awareness this time?? 

     

    If the Trumpet Creeper supposed to be a tragic ending like that, this secret world should be their chances to live a happier one writer! 

     

    Two eps left for next week. Sighh.. I don't like it to end this soon. I need to calm myself and would write when I get better later. 

     

    Last but not least, Their acting is superb!! It's so heartbreaking!! 

    My theory, she was supposed to flatline on stage and then be resuscitated and become healthy....since they changed the stage..  the same thing happened on shadow with a possible time jump...that is why the pages were left empty....since it happened in shadow, she lost her awareness obviously....the way the world works so far from my understanding...you can't cheat your storyboard no matter how hard you try....it'll happen either way

    After tonight episode..the war between both team (haru and baekyung) get more complicated (from what i see in twitter and IG) :huh:

    lets just enjoy this drama till the end (hope for a happy ending) 

    You know these are fictional characters....I felt weird seeing how serious people got over it....and then I saw Trevor Noah's interview with Anna Kendrick and they were duscussing how social media always reacts with equal intensity to everything be it something trivial or something really terrible...and that made me laugh....

    A little thing to cheer everyone up here...

  5. Today was a filler episode....I absolutely adore Eun Dan Oh.....But Kyung annoyed me today....OG Kyung from Webtoon had a better character arc by all means...so did Haru....yes Dan Oh wants to live but if she is asking you to take a step back to changing things....do that...both boys need to tone it down....Juda is scary....Sae Mi is a lamb in reality and Juda is lion....anyway rest was good but could have been better

    Is what she's doing actually aegyo?  I've seen it in other kdramas and just thought it whiny and annoying.  Not cute at all.  What she's doing seems to be adopting manwha tropes and style, as you say, but not the aegyo I'm used to seeing from whiny girls baby-talking to get something from a guy.  It verges, but it's not the same.  But maybe this is really aegyo?  My only experience is kdrama so I don't know!  

    She does use an aeygo voice but everyone from Gu Hye Sun, Suzy to Kim Go Eun, Kim Seulgi, Park Bo young have done the same....SK natives seem to have fondness for it....I have gotten used to it....they are known for their love for Aeygo voice and strong ears for Sageuk enunciation.

    LOL, that was a dated pickup cliche back around 543 BC.  It only got more dated in 1990.  I groan every time they play it on television now.  However, I will keep an open mind since it involves our shadow couple, Dan-Oh and Ha-Ru.  :wub:

    I know but that scene in Ghost is iconic....lets see what we get here :D

    BTW, the scene were the other three extra were mocking A3 and the girl said she would take responsibility, I died :D:lol:......I wish they'd give us more of these extra's being super 'Extra' moments.

  8. So next episode is formal engagement announcement....but one thing is weird even unaware of their past lives, Dan Oh, Haru even Kyung repeat their lines....does it mean its a good thing or a bad thing? Is it residual memory or being bound in action by the writer no matter what? It bothers me. I think Baek Kyung and his brother could be a wonderful tiny sub plotline if explored properly. Hope they do so, they are both terribly lonely. Dan Oh is just living in the moment now...cherishing each second......its all so sad. Beautiful but sad episode.

  9. Yeah filming has ended atleast confirmed for Rowoon...rest don't know....they don't film scenes in order so possible some of them are still filming....good that production seems faster...I guess that is the reason we are not getting much of fan sightings and all from sets

    Also the sns buzz report is out...Extraordinary You is 2nd behind Camellia, Rowoon in 3rd, Hye Yoon in 5th and Lee Jae Wook in 8th position.

    An article on how much Hye Yoon is loved by viewers and PD says she gives 200% satisfactory performance....Glad for all of them.

    @bee_wannabe Hi, I just wasn't able to keep quite there. Many times again I felt many are very negatively critical to female artists but graciously forgiving to male artists (as you can see in her other posts).

     

    I usually a silent viewer but this drama is so good and under represented in the ratings.

     

    I hope in the coming 2 episodes we will get more answers about Flower manwha and how it is related to Secret. 

    Me too....need answers from flower Manhwa....and I don't want bits and pieces but the full story.

    Exactly. I was surprised by the amount of the criticisms there. I have never spent that much time commenting and defending an actress i like in a post outside of soompi forum. Glad that i have this thread to come back and gain the positive vibe again.

    It was written to draw negativity like click bait....that is what irked me the most...glad for this thread too

    @StefC oh hi! I recognize you from koala site. Glad to see you here. Someone said KHY next project will be in a movie with Jin Ki Joo. She will play supporting role, a student who meets a serial killer and the movie title is midnight. Not sure if it's true or still a rumour.

     

    It's a class picture everyone, too bad DO HR BK JD can not join. Since this drama is about extras living and making the most out of their time creating special moments, after their graduation from EY drama I wish all of them will have more and better role or find the right path in the future.

    Speaking of that site, I felt so awful how they are trashing Kim Hye Yoon there for no reason...its as if all her antis are having a field day here.

    They should've started his redemption arc episodes ago. 6 episodes are barely enough to give him some kind of satisfying arc. Which is why I'm only counting on him in regards of his manhwa investigation.

    The window was when Haru went missing snd made his amnesiac comeback...now I am counting on his investigation as well...maybe it would teach him something about his world.

    Ha-Ru demonstrated a very interestng new skill that no one else has previously done.  In episode 20, Ha-Ru was able to predict that a stage was about to start.  Unlike Dan-Oh who has premonitions about a stage and then can feel approximately when a stage will begin because of the premonition circumstances, Ha-Ru was able to look at the environment in the present time and knew a stage would start soon.  This allowed him to change the heart monitor from Dan-Oh's wrist to Sae-Mi's wrist.  This ability is a very powerful skill, since this allowed Ha-Ru to make some adjustments prior to the scene and actually change the stage.  I am fascinated to find out if they plan on making this something that he uses in the future to change their fates in the Secret manhwa.

    But the writer draws the changed stage....so is Haru the writers subconscious or connected to it...so he has a bit more freedom but writer has ultimate control.
