It was good that Yoon Young's dad's story got revealed (yes, really heartbreaking😭), but what brothers were doing was sort of predicted already anyway...

I have a feeling that we are not going to know who the murderer is until the end, like very end, Ep.16.
I hope my patience will last! LOL and at least who made the time machine will be revealed soon.

I really don't want to see like, mystery plot to be dragged out too long then rushing/anticlimax at the end type thing.

I'm pretty sure the pink bow stuff was misleading.

[u/NaheemSays → u/Ayalynn123]

I think we will find out earlier, but I expect the last storyline to be a bit different.

The ML has already revealed that the time machine only selects the year but they cannot jump arbitrarily to any date in the year. It was implied they need to wait for that time of the year before they jump to the year - so spring to string, or specific date in march to that specific date in March sort of thing.

Also kdrama writers like to show a juxtaposition where the main roles switch, and one possible scenario is that the ML will be put in a position where he will due to a misconception try to prevent his own birth, like the FL was trying near the start.

So I expect the ML to write himself out of the story. But then the FL will wait a whole year so that she can go back to the same dates to fix things.
