Same with my experiences with IBN and TRHC. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice...

Dylan, if it reaches the thrice level, we might need a joint intervention!

You are right perhaps many things become more significant in a rewatch. It does seem like a handy storytelling device. Maybe there would not be any "story" to tell if we knew adult Ki-ho in Episode 1 itself. 🤷‍♀️

Woo-hak apparently changed after his accident. I don't think he intentionally coped his brother but obviously after living together for so long one would perhaps unintentionally imbibe the other person's mannerisms especially when you have lost your own memories.

It was never a mystery to me, either, but some people were fooled so I guess the writer did their job.

@seeker
Castaway diva also used the amnesia trope? 🙉 Oh, that explaines a lot 🤣🤣🤣

I think that's why he was copying Bo-geol: he didn't really have his own personality, since the amnesia erased it

@seeker @vienibenmio I never thought of him copying him that way; that he doesn't have a personality of his own.

When I was talking about about copying him, I was talking about copying his clothes.

If anything, Woo Hak seemed to have little brother energy and now he does seem more big brother energy now that he knows about things.

@Britney @vienibenmio
You both are right of course. But as Bo-geol mentioned Woo-hak became a different and "happier" person after the accident. Perhaps now some of his old / real personality is coming through.

@britney Ah, yeah, I should have phrased that better. You put it well. I do think that Woo-hak was a little lost and adrift, hence why he apparently drank a lot and didn't take on the "big brother" role.

Is the amnesia reversible ?? 🤔

Possible drama amnesia remedies:
Another head trauma : I’ve seen it
Familiar food: (ties in really well with the youth fateful bonding tropes ) Seen this
Sound of flowers : Seen it

We'll see about that 🤣
I agree though, a chair is a more credible inducer of memory loss...
But, my lord, I guess I am lucky that I don"t watch so many at once?

@johnb ah! amnesia cured by photo is surely a new one.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that dramaland amnesia comes with a handy on-off button and is always and anytime reversible either ways i.e. "on" or "off".
Here the amnesiac reporter on receiving flowers from the father indulged in a spot of shadowing + detective skills while somehow still managing to retain his job without doing any work and broke into the father's house to see his own childhood picture along with his brother and mother and estranged father and 💥 amnesia off switch activated.

@john
The ring, john! You forgot the ring!

@Kodra do read @johnb 's remedies for amnesia. CD went with a new trick via photo. You might want to read the comment for future reference but suck a hard candy first 🍬 to ensure you don't get dizzy following drama logic. 😂

Ah of course the photograph ! Which actually, is the only one that makes sense in real life, would be a photo ‼️😉
I suspect ♫music ♪ to play a role.

@seeker
I read his post and I loved it, got a good laugh and added on his list of remedies from MD.
I have enjoyed @john 's smart sarcasm for some time now, especially on the MD posts.
Right back at you with the treats 🍡

@Kodra thank you for the treats. 😁

I have a problem when I tag, the list doesn't appear most of the time.
Sorry, @john, I meant @johnb

Thanks, that will make things a lot easier for me.

Yes, folks LOVE you for shrieking when people on your screen unexpectedly kick other people (also on your screen :)) in the crotch.

hahaha! That is making me rub my hands in anticipation.
I have so so much to catch up - Twinkling Watermelon, Castaway Diva, and of course the last five of My Dearest. And I hear I will need to make space for Dr Slump at the turn of new year.
Race against time.
