Five Stars

It’s always intriguing how some of the show’s episodes are structured in the form of an event loop. As Gwi-joo frequently revisits the same scene multiple times, each revisit reveals layers of seemingly hidden aspects, adding depth to the plot while simultaneously advancing it. Gwi-joo’s persistent past travels, which he doesn’t seem to have any control over, parallel the late-night overthinking and regrets that many people experience in similar situations. The conceptualization of such a relatable aspect of life in the show makes it unique and amusing.This episode breaks from the con-artist trope as we pass the halfway mark in the series. As we progress, the nuance of the character emerges. For instance, Man-heum’s lack of care towards Soon-gu might explain his frequent visits to the club. On the other hand, the episode hints at a future challenge that’s slowly and steadily approaching Gwi-joo as a result of changes in his power. What this challenge will be and how it will affect the stakeholders involved, especially Da-hae and Gwi-joo’s relationship, is yet to be known.
