I think it depends bc some people can’t be hypnotized. I don’t believe I can be just bc I’m very, almost too self aware for my own good. I think it can only happen to those who are extremely gullible, without self awareness, and I think it’s also a placebo effect(lmao ironic) Basically someone gives you a pill, says it’s an energy pill, you feel energized, but it was actually a sugar pill and did nothing.
I think that’s the case with our manga here. I think the uke is just gullible and easily manipulated.

i thought so too. honestly wanted to question that to the hosts lmfao but ig its also the method that they use + as you've mentioned, the self-awareness of the hypnotized. everything happened voluntarily with proper communication during the seminar so most of us got hypnotized, while some couldn't or just didn't

Omg ik that placebo effect I was waiting for someone to mention something like this, my sister told me about that effect which pretty cool to know that this manga is sort of like that concept

It just makes sense. Why else would the manga be called “Placebo”.
I even experienced it myself with my health. From my fast experiences with my bad health, later in life I started to physically manifest symptoms due to that anxiety from the past. Since I became aware of the placebo effect I don’t believe I’ve ever had that since.

Yeah it’s either gullible people or people who are just playing along. It could even have planned actors. You can’t ever count that stuff as accurate since scams can always be planned ahead. The placebo effect even happened with the Covid-19. Mass hysteria can lead to crowds of people thinking they have an illness when they don’t and they are perfectly fine.
There was once a cats where a whole town died due to them all dancing to their death. Now it could have been some virus but it’s highly unlikely. It’s almost or has been proven it was mass hysteria that lead to a placebo effect that they were convinced they had some illness that literally made them dance to their death. All bc two people were dancing.

Here’s a link to one website that explains it. Though you can Google it. It’s wild how so many people could be convinced. But that’s the placebo effect for you.

Honestly real, I had my doubts, except that the people that volunteered were ppl Im close with who're also doubting it– but ended up in disbelief after. Our librarian was also one of the volunteers. With just one touch of the host's hand, everyone was falling asleep it was funny to see

I can't entirely explain what happened either and Im soo frustrated but what I do know is that no one's a planned actor bc outsiders aren't permitted to get in unless they had a pass. No one can rlly sneak in since the entrance and exits are small and tight too. Could just really be a placebo as you've said or something similar. We talked about the seminar for days and the ppl who volunteered still can't believe it lmfaoo but they're aware the whole time it was happening though, we even recorded the performance and they were embarrassed of how they looked but It was entertaining for the most part really lolol. (The whole video's shared only amongst us but the hosts uploaded a glimpse on their fb page) We were expecting like a kid's magic show level type of performance so what we witnessed that day was out of our expectations. Initially, we stalked their page and they looked fake af but their skills are real

Oh and they discussed the myths of hypnotism and debunked them too. They said that real hypnotism is different from the movies we see. Like those swirling effects and clock ticking things aren't real. AAAA i wish i could explain more.of what happened, it doesn't really sound exciting by just saying it.

I keep.blabberinf abt it sorry it was just rlly a fascinating experience AHAHAHA

I think I read or watched somewhere that, that incident was rlly just placebo effect and amazing and scary what fear and anxiety can do your brain chemicals that make it somehow come true. Its like we're our own genies, triggered only by negative overthinking however.

The brain is might as well be the most sensitive organ there is by how well it can be affected by 'mere' words. I'd love to learn more about it

thanks for the link! I'll check it out

SHE'S KOREA'S STRONGEST AND YOUNGEST AWAKENER SLASH REPRESENTATIVE PLUS COOLEST NOONA AND JIWOO'S FUTURE GIRLFRIEND

I wonder if you were to live twice will you be able to do this? Me for sure will not be.

I mean he did win Best Actor award in his past life. Plus he had more years of experience than I was in school. So when he was initially reborn, he had good acting skills to start with. As he grew up, he got time to hone them even more. So, why wouldn't he successful.

I don't know if my work life will be successful if I am able to live twice since I'm still a student, however I would definitely excel in studies.

I meant that the storyline is just abt his successful works and outstanding performance bc there is no problem no nothing. People can be reborn yet still encounter problems in life again. What I'm pointing out is that everything is too perfect and there is no conflict in the story, which is why he's mary sue.

Totally understand your POV. Just wondering about your thoughts of having second chance in life. Will we be able to kive our life better? yknow things like that

good luck with your studies love

He did have problems tho, it's just because of his experiences in his past life he solved it easily. If what you've seen in the manhwa was all about his success then you really did not read it throughly. I am not judging you for saying that but it's kinda disappointing how you think that the mc does not have problems.

Having a shitty past life must have been tough and maybe because of that past life he is trying his best on everything that even those big time problems seems easy to handle. (￣ε(#￣)Σ

Well, it's also because he has good people around him, people he can ask about things that he doesn't know even in his past life, people that is always by his side no matter what the problem is. He already lived a shitty life there's no way he wants to experience it again(⌒▽⌒).

True. It was enjoyable initially, but now it’s becoming monotonous. I get the ‘excellent at acting’ part, but excelling academically too? Really? It would be acceptable if he was just good, but always coming first in everything is dull.

He’s a real Mary Sue.

It's not that he is naturally great at academics. in his past life he nonchalantly past throught school playing around a never cared to study, but his second life has given him the opportunity to accel in school and enjoy it. Having already perfected his craft in acting its not stressful for him so he can focus on school without to much extra stress. (づ￣ ³￣)づ

Its the part that he's too consistently perfect that he is called mary sue. He's the most sought-after actor and the top student too with good relationship with almost everyone. It'd be nice if there was actually a conflict in the plot itself. At this rate, its more of a lifestyle genre than drama. My comment means no hate of course, its just another comment pointing out that his character is too perfect. I love his personality ofc he's respectable. It's the plot that we're pointing at

True true. Even so, I hope that they could still add some conflict bc its a drama genre, we need em spice

True, but I don't think we're gonna get much of any conflict with this story thought but it still has my love!
