Atleast its not only focus on SciFi. It has Mystery&Fantasy also. I’m also Park Shin Hye’s avid fan on all of her talent she’s also a good singer.

In many movies actors falling for each other at first sight. And here she fall for him by reading diary 😂😂😂

The script is really weak. It is a very weak imitation of the Matrix film. I’m sorry that two good actors played in this movie. In my opinion, actors should first of all pay more attention to the story of the film.

Sorry guys.. the action sequence is Really awkward & lame at it’s finest. CSW is more suitable for a serious role.
March 29th, 2021 at 7:36 pm
it was promising at the beginning but its super boring around episode 7-8

The villain Sigma is played very well by Kim Byung Chul, he’s not as of this post listed in the credits on this page. I remember him as one of the two slave hunters in Mr. Sunshine and the evil malicious villain in Goblin.

#16 — I can’t see the connection with the Matrix movie. There was no time travel in the Matrix. Perhaps the use of the terms “upload” and “download” in this drama is the similarity you’re thinking. I can understand the confusion.
The term “download” has come to mean the transfer of information from a source—the server—to a client. In the matrix the information is the coded neural structure of the person and not the actual neurones are downloaded or uploaded—the premise of the theory is that consciousness is somewhat synonymous with the neural network of the brain. (I do not buy into it myself because there just is not enough paired-molecules in the brain to hold an hour of a person’s lifetime experiences.)
In contrast, the time travel scenario involves the transfer of molecules.
To wrap it up; upload and download makes sense when the transfer is informational not when it’s about sending molecules across time. The writer did not think this through.

A nuclear attack renders the soil useless to grow produce, so, there cannot be an economy to sustain technological growth what to speak of research and development. A nuclear attack of that magnitude will contaminate the food chain on the whole planet. The radioactive fallout would be carried around the pacific by the ocean currents and to other parts via rain.
It’s not likely they would find the cure for ALS in the drama’s fictional future cos computers will become a rarity and eventually fade away. It’ll be a complete civilisational collapse. This fiction was not well thought out. Another writer fail.

I understand tanet and the witcher but this show is quite something

This drama has ALL of my favorite actors and actresses, but it’s so stupid. There is no real logic. Even things that are futuristic must make sense. This made zero sense.
