This is actually one thing that's consistent with the synopsis, the "accident." Though we don't know what happened in that tunnel in the end, so I don't want to debate that just yet. I'm just saying this isn't a development they decided to pull at the last minute. It's been in the works for months. What's different from the synopsis is the set-up (MR pushing her away because he's falling in love with her and his guilt, whereas in the synopsis EG's the only one in love and MR has ruthlessly used her) and the fallout (to be determined, but it already looks different).

If this is about how changed he is... again, we need to see more of the episode(s) but unlike Eun-Gi who's been given the "gift" of amnesia, thus the ability to repress all the terrible memories (though it's interesting that the one thing she remembers is her only good memory, of being in love with MR), he remembers everything, he's living with all those memories, and I'm guessing his change is his trauma, not just from the accident but also everything that came before. So yes, it is a setback. But she needs his help, more than ever, and he needs her help, more than ever. So it's not like 'season 2' so to speak is a repeat of 'season 1'. They've always said (the powers that be) that this drama was about healing. It wasn't clear how. Well, it's clear that S2 is going to be about healing.

I am worried that EG loses her memory in an accident that somehow involves both her and Maru's cars. But I don't know, so I won't particularly dwell on it.

The thing is, I knew amnesia was coming (it was in the synopsis) but I had a fool's hope they did away with it after all because I didn't think the drama needed it. It's not a plot twist I am fond of, however presented. I do trust LKH's writing so I am not freaking out, but I do wish they never bothered with amnesia at all.

I hope your right about the healing thing, because I feel like thats a powerful message and it would mean more if the theme is healing and overcoming the trauma of the past to embrace life again. I guess cause its something I can empathize with and I'd prefer that to one of her ridiculous makjang sad endings like in sang do or a love to kill or sorry i love you. (I suppose the last one at least made some narrative sense but still I was pretty D: when I read about all those endings and what built up to them...usually not much -_-) that said maybe she's trying to get away from that now since her last couple of dramas didnt end badly. altho i dont know the endings specifically since I'm planning to attempt to watch will it snow for christmas? at one point. anyway. I dont mind setbacks but I hope we dont go down a road of seriously convoluted happenings in order to keep eun ki and maru apart because i mean even without amnesia there was plenty they would have to work through before they can embark on some happily ever after love affair. but oh well, we'll see what happens i guess. I've been glued to the screen throughout this drama so far and I've never felt like writing so much meta and speculation about a drama before in forever so, hopefully the quality so far keeps up so I can continue to be as invested as I've been.
