This time I can not believe what I see. i even don’t have courage to say what would happen during JW and Cha’s meeting since they are not in game mode anymore. If it’s true maybe the 2 last episodes will tell about their battle. I hope JW will survive and meet HJ  and finally happy ending though the chance is slim. Kudos to the writer!

 

The game is scary and dangerous, if I am HJ I will not log on into the game. How come she walked around and get shot many times??

She needed to find the love of her life ... I guess I would do the same too if there's a man like JW in my life who is missing

 

I wonder about the one more story remains that JW talked about in the preview. What would that story be about? It seems like about the company.... Why would Park said they both have to take responsibility? For wrecking Cha's life? I mean with his father and his wife?

Oh well, at least with SJ back, and knowing from preview that JW is still alive, I can patiently wait for Saturday to come...

Thank you for the live recaps! 

 

my head literally hurts (hate early morning shifts) but my quick guess is that JW is now stuck wherever SJ was and the narration is from him in the space of where he is stuck  I hope this isn’t the case and he is just hiding from those cops. 

 

His two ex wives are driving me more insane than the game is  

 

 

Since SJ reappeared after JW reach level 100,  JW now went missing instead. He gave his key to Emma for the last quest to open the gate of heaven, cud it be when the gate opened SJ came out but JW enter it becos he wanted to hide from the cops? Therefore he was trap in the 'heaven' until the next player came along, reach level 100 & open the gate again..I suspect that was how it happen to Seju. He already reach level 100, so he hide in the heaven's garden until someone else reach the same level open up the gate so he can get out. But now the problem is Park went against his former superior instruction & shut down the server...luckily in the preview seem like JW managed to return...dunno after how long or if it is just a flashback.

No, sejoo is still at level 94 as we saw on the user roster screen...

I think JW finished the game, logged out, that's why Choi couldn't locate him in the game. He somehow escaped the cops at the church and now need to deal with Prof Cha.

[yuhotarubi 5,742]

Can somebody please get rid of Go Yu Ra ?? Somebody get her in the game and let her get killed by some NPCs like she's so annoying -_____- 

Edit: this came out too harsh and too evil, just put her in Jail for false testimony then and get her off her celebrity high horse

[mundaliv 3,634]

Now JW is missing, SJ is back!! And we have to wait one week again to find out!! Sometimes I regret watching this live.. the torture of waiting 1 week is real!! 

 

Before that, usually JW cannot log out, can he? I mean, has he ever logged out before now? He can only rest when the server shuts down. Now he gave the key to Emma, unlock SJ, and then he hides in the game because of the cop? So confusing.... 

 

I don’t understand why SuJin sent message to JW and wanted to kill herself. Don‘t even think of YuRa. Wondering how JW can marry her in the first place? 

[enigmatic_zephy 14,805]

What!!.. this series is such a rip off of W

so, someone has to take responsibility of all the deaths caused so that JW can go free and no one learns about the game ever!

[lduc 27,622]

 

 

[sanika 5,223]

Thank you for the written updates! I haven't seen the episode yet, but based on what I read, seems like

• SooJin might have been responsible for CHS's death.
• SeJu was kept in a "safe-place" by Emma till it was safe for him to return.
• She transported JinWoo to that place to save him from the police who she might see as a threat.

If these assumptions are right, either the charges against JinWoo need to be dropped i.e. SooJin, YuRa and Pro Cha need to get their richard simmons sorted or another player, possibly SeJu, should level up to 100 and go save him or both

 

 

[siddy09 1,968]

Except for the fact that today's was one of the most emotional episodes. I was nail-biting at first and by the time it ended, I felt bad for all of them; HeeJu, SJ, Jin Woo,Park, Seo and even SuJin. It takes a lot of emotional burden to kill oneself. 

• The drama started with 'Finding SeJu' and it is closing with, 'Finding Jin Woo'. Thank god the preview was promising otherwise I thought Emma had swapped SeJu with JinWoo and there will be season 2 of MOA with JW missing.
• We have yet to see whether the game is fixed or not because the quest was only to find SeJu, not about fixing the game. 
• I think Emma or SeJu had told him something about the deaths of all three people  and that's why JW went straight to Daddy Cha, to confront him. If he is out of Seoul then he can't be tracked.
• Therefore, Daddy Cha+Park+Marco= make JW life hell theory is still open...lol. Why are you doing to us, writer-nim??
• Anyways, PSH is really good in emotional scenes. I could feel her pain and desperation to find Jin Woo. She had no choice but keep on re-logging and she did that. That's how a woman would act if her lover is nowhere to be found. People had criticized her for not showing interest in finding SJ. Well, I hope they got their answers now.
• TBH, I found the kiss to be fan service. But nevertheless, I absolutely loved how JW held her face and neck and also that it was a closed space. I love closed space kisses. There is nowhere to run. Ha!
• So, JW gave the key to Emma in morning and by the time SJ returned back to HJ's house, it was night time. So he really was in Granada. JW didn't go to Granada otherwise the news would have mentioned it..then he was confronting Daddy Cha this whole time??
• Two episodes away and writer still hasn't revealed all her cards. I hope that maybe there is at least one episode which will be focused on hubby-wifey..is it too much to ask for?? 

[stroppyse 115,612]

A translation for ep 15 preview. They are really keeping up the tension on this one.

 

 

Park: Jin Woo must have completed the quest. He was right. He had said that Se Joo would return. Then Jin Woo must also be returning soon.
Man: I was wondering whether you had heard anything from Professor Cha.
JW: I had told you, that we would live together or die together now.
Prof: That means that ultimately you are not able to take care of it. That thing that I had said earlier…
HJ: You don’t know where that person is?
SJ: I didn't kill him.
Park: Someone has to take responsibility for this situation. The Professor and I have to take responsibility.
JW: Now, there is only one story left to tell.

 

 

Have yet to watch today's episode, but this preview seems tense and sad. I'm just going to assume that it's going to be a happy ending, but the writer is determined to keep the tension up till the end. Still, it makes me sad to see JW so weak and HJ so sad.

[yuhotarubi 5,742]

So What's it gonna be next episode ??? SJ looks like he's an emotional mess, JW is nowhere to be found, HJ doesn't know what to do, and we don't know how to fix the game, or to get rid of YR. Ah it's gonna be the final week, I'm so excited to se how this will end.

[Dundee 7,815]

okay now i’m getting annoyed with the game, how come it cannot be fixed? Just burn the server down then.  

 

Anyway did JW went to the game world after giving the key to emma? They didn’t show us JW vanishing 

 

I ‘m little bit confuse why HJ at level 1 already have enemy with gun. she got shot many times but after that she was logged out automatically. So she was in the normal game mode, not in the crazy game mode like JW. She supposed to deal enemy with sword like the other testers not gun.

[yuhotarubi 5,742]

 

 

 

Just look at the way he's looking at her, it's like he knew he won't see her for a while, they better have a happy ending 

[LovelyShinHye 1,859]

Jinwoo and heejoo are playing with my emotions. I just felt their desperation for each other through that kiss. Jinwoo eyes trembles. Like..he catch a glimpse of heejoo as long as he can. The warmth of heejoo. That cab scene  specially.. really got me drawn in my tears.  Ottoke SJJ unnie? They deserve a happy ending. Please...

Yes even I'm getting annoyed. How long will they keep playing that stupid game. 

 

Just burn the damn server once JW is found. Let Jone go bankrupt. Life is more important than money and status.

 

Let JW take HJ somewhere far, with no money it's okay just love is fine. Get married you two and have children. Do some small job and be happy. Goshhhh 

 

If I was in HJ place, I wouldn't have let JW to play such a dangerous game risking his own life, when there was no proof that SJ will be back. I think this is what everyone will do. But IDK She loves them equally... Very tough situation. What if she lost both of them? I can't even imagine how she will live after that 

[vangsweetie637 39,755]

Alright. Now I am expecting a bed scene  

 

it will go even more perfect with some more kisses 

 

the game world is driving me insane. The ex wives are making it worse. I don’t understand what’s happening  SJ is safe. But now JW is missing. Aye. My head hurts. This is more stressful than trying to solve an equation

 

 

 

[ck1Oz 23,224]

Well. Hmm... I haven't watched both episodes and won't have time all day. That's why I need spoilers.

 

You know I am not really invested in the romance. Therefore have no angst regarding it. I mean I expect a happy ending so there isn't any stress on that front.

 

What is currently irritating me or rather bothering me is the game. Has anyone read any Korean viewers opinions re the plot? I presume since there are so many PC Bangs that many people play computer games. I know you're all Kdrama viewers. But surely some of you play computer games right?

 

100 levels just to kill thousands of people/ NPCs is rather mindless. Like boringly mindless. To want to play and be addicted to.

 

Also, since viewers are distracted by the fact that JW is played by HB; he can't just switch off and walk away. I know HB is good looking and all but technically JW is clever/ has aPhD and an entrepreneur/ IT genius. Why would he need to work some small job? His intellect or personality/ drive/ ethics won't allow him to abandon the game/business/ employees. 

 

Besides if anything breaks the OTP apart I was expecting him to need to detox. For the time jump. Or get liver failure. Or pancreatitis man from all that alcohol abuse. After all I was counting that the guy was drinking about 50 standard drinks minimum daily. If what is shown is right. Real life people don't walk away from this sort of abuse without consequences. Or go cold turkey like he did. Or be able to drive her ( the drive before the kiss ) and have his alcohol level drop and not be DUI. 

 

And huh, SJ the paediatrician with a one year old son committed suicide?

 

So yeah at this point, the writer's logic is bothering me more than the OTP's end game. The plot logic is currently escaping me. To call this a good drama. It's not the acting. HB is killing it in his role. Just hard to believe this middle aged millionaire with 2 ex- wives ( therefore having had sex duh), an aggressive businessman ( you don't get to be a successful entrepreneur by being passive ), a successful student is this pure, innocent ( emotions I mean. He is rather decent/ somewhat considerate as a boyfriend ), restraint physically when it comes to his dating style ( his kissing style. He kisses like he is dating for the 1st time ). Hello, with his looks he would have been like a campus idol.

 

So yeah, the plot is bothering me. The game rules here vs what normal role playing computer games. And what actual players say about the writer's research.

 

100 levels of killing. Man. Like seriously? That be a LOT of kills per level. For it to be popular. I am a sci - fic book reader as well. So it's not as it alternate universes etc is new to be. Besides I read warfare, strategy books anyway. Both historical ones plus sci- fiction ones.  And yeah I like computer games and normally I used to love shooting ones.

 

I am not always a Kdrama viewer.

 

So 2 programmers wrote a game. And something triggered off a tear in reality and opened different a reality plane. Which sucked one or them through.  But in order to say that the game is dangerous/ flawed it has to have players reach the same level and duplicate the same circumstances. JW wasn't in a high level when it happened to him.

 

So therefore any of those test players should have had allies and duplicated the danger JW was in. Where he killed Cha the younger. But no one else did. What makes JW different? What made it ONLY happen to SJ and JW? 

 

There is only ONE alternate plane of existance. And it contains SJ and now JW. Otherwise one would presume there would be multiple ones since the other test players would have killed someone by now. Or if it is still the same reality all the dead friends would be NPCs in the same spot. But the writer is saying they are now automatons. I mean SH died as an ally therefore his game persona would still be an ally even though the game rules made him a zombie? But he CAN'T change into a zombie since Cha didn't become one when he died. The Secretary didn't die at the stage of the game where he was killed by zombies. Cha resurrected at the same state he died in.

 

You can't have rules for one player. Then have a different rule for a 2nd player when it follows the game logic. Unless the deaths rules change depending on which levels you die at.

 

At this point in my sci- fic book either the computer mainframe's programme has evolved into a sentient being. Or rather who the heck or where in which episode did it show JW or Cha being mailed/ emailed/ given the software.

 

Because writing rules sorta says a good sci- fic plot has logic. Otherwise it becomes deranged writing. And even science fantasy- which I also read- which has less logic based plots also has some sort of flow.

 

So someone please explain to me where the writer's game rules are so far. To follow the flow. And not because JW is still playing- the server has to be up? Thought it didn't need the contact lense rule - what did he do that made him only one of 2 players who encountered the same circumstances?

 

And the stupid chief programmer just spent countless hours watching the screen and Emma? How about going back to the programme and reading the codes? Or maybe the writer didn't read enough about what hackers can do? Or it is a different book or drama plot then. Who has the software loaded onto the main servers. And all those IT people and not ONE person is assigned to check the programme and break down the parts?

 

But that would be too logical right? I think I am going to go read a space warfare story... it will make more sense.

She didn't have sword because she never looked for one in the bathroom. It's like she is in the cruise mode in Need For Speed game, roaming around the city randomly. Everytime she got shot, the game logged her out automatically and then she had to log in again. Now what I don't understand is how come she faced soldier of level 100 and not Josean era assassin just like JW faced that Nasrid warrior? Maybe since she was not near that statue and instead in the area where high level enemy soldiers were roaming. If you are near statue then only will that warrior attack you otherwise you will attacked by the enemies of that particular area and level.

[ash011 8,534]

Can anyone explain what does that defense 50 and 30 something mean? i saw this when HJ logged in for 26th time. She never fought anytime, but how come her points are more.
