'Alice' Episode 5 promo is out and it sees how Jin-gyeom, Tai-yi, and Sun-young's fates get intertwined after Jin-gyeom from the present accidentally ends up traveling back in time. He arrives back in 2010 opposite the university where Tai-yi had studied in the past and he even meets her to check the year that he had arrived in. To confirm, he calls back home and hears his mother Sun-young's voice. She is still alive, and Jin-gyeom tells her over the call that she shouldn't leave the house until he comes home and she should wait for him. On the fated night when Sun-young was shot dead, Jin-gyeom attempts to stop his mother from going out in the first place so that he can stop his mother's death. 

However, will he succeed? The moment his mother Sun-young sees Jin-gyeom from the future, she will realize what has happened exactly having been a time traveler herself. So will she really let Jin-gyeom change the past? This is something that only the episode can clarify. 

The promo also shows how for the first time in his life, Jin-gyeom wants to know more about his father. Jin-gyeom has also found a reason to believe that the only one who would really know the complete truth about his mother's past is his father. For now, he is not aware of Min-hyuk being his father or the fact that Tai-yi is his mother. So how he would react to Min-hyuk being his father is something that would be interesting to watch out for. First, because Jin-gyeom has never been interested in who his father was before. Lastly, since the moment that Jin-gyeom had met Min-hyuk, the two have only clashed. 

If we recall, the first time that Min-hyuk had met Jin-gyeom was to extract the time card that Jin-gyeom had got from a criminal from the future. At that time, when Jin-gyeom had overheard Min-hyuk's conversation about the timecard, he had wanted to kill Jin-gyeom. Of course, he is not aware of the fact that Jin-gyeom could very well be his son, and he is also under the impression that Tai-yi is living a happily married life. So what we can look forward to is a complicated knot that needs to be untied before Jin-gyeom learns more about who had his mother killed. 

'Alice' airs on SBS on Fridays and Saturdays at 10 pm KST and can be streamed on Viki Global.
