Rewatching episode 14. Why have they changed the background score entirely. It was perfect. I do hate this episode.…
I watch it I think it was their to prove a point that no matter what sol did sun jae will still fall for her. And that killer wills till show up as all three are bound with fate.
The fates of Im Sol, RSJ and Young Soo would always remain intertwined no matter how many timelines they pass…
I agree. That's why when the new Hyun jo (the one gave birth) said no matter happy or not no matter she traveled to past and changed it or not she would still fall for Sol's brother. Almost like a warning or forecasting the story and fate of sol and sun jae. Girl did everything still the result remains the same. Sun jae died whether he dies in future or like in last in past. Even now from the next episode teaser it seems that he will still die even though she was not in his life. It only make sense if the fate was pass onto the killer.
in orginal time his retirement was never given an actual reason for but what I think is that maybe he wants to…
Nice theories! I was typing while your comment popped up. Love your pov. But I believe the button was important the watch transforms into a time travelling device but it the button that activates it. So no in the last only sol traveled to their first meeting, not both. She used the new time machine that presented itself, as it was the first time Sun Jae died in the past when he had the watch.
Some of the questions I have that's left unanswered. May I ask you guys to help me sort out these, incase I just…
You have some amazing questions. I’ll try my best to explain my POV maybe that can help.
1. Original timeline - I don’t believe that Sun Jae committed suicide. Why? There was a brief scene where he was standing on the balcony when the bell rang and right after that he was in the water dead. Also, the person who crashed into Sol resulted in her Mobile being broken (in the second present timeline we learn, it was the killer looking for Sun Jae). I believe it was the killer who pushed him. We find in second time when he was in a coma that the killer tried to make sun jae unconscious but when he failed he took out the knife and stabbed him. (also the fact the killer always kills people in a deranged way so that it is hard to trace back to him and only uses a knife in utter desperation) so in the original timeline, he didn't have to stab him cause he was able to make him unconscious and push him from the balcony. Now to say why no one checked and why pills were there. The hotel Sunjae was staying was high profile and to talk about how an ex-convict gets the MasterCard and tempered with the security would bring shame so the hotel staff hid it. Also, it was easy to say it was suicide cause the pills were on the table and he was about to quit cause of work pressure. And media ran with it and the company CEO also confirmed he was about to quit (p.s. That was the reason I found him fishy my first thought was he was behind it all as Sunjae was by far more famous than his teammate and him leaving would have caused the company taking a huge hit). Sun Jae was not having a great time, being an idol was tough, and to that the person he loved said very heartwrenching words that have built with time (focus only we, the viewers know that Sol was grateful, but sun Jae never got to learn about this fact cause last he remembered that she was screaming crying in the hospital right after losing her leg and he was standing outside) things like this had caused him a lot of anxiety and stress and maybe that was the reason he had been taking the med which was also present when the present walking sol was in his apartment. Also, I noticed after meeting the original Sol who couldn't walk he saw that she had to live that way and she was his fan so emotions would have built up he was taking meds to relieve himself but when the walking Sol visited in the second present timeline the med’s where there but he didn’t have to take them that day cause he was not emotionally stressed at that time.
2. That is also confusing to me but what I can say is when the eclipse band changed from 4 mates to 3 we saw that present time stood still. This says that every time she was traveling in the past the time stood still in the present while the event kept changing as she made different choices. But on her first traveling none of her actions changed anything; Sun Jae was still dead, she still had to use a wheelchair, and I believe that Kim Tae asked her to be his gf while sun jae recorded voice about to say he liked her what made her kick back in a present cause that never happened according to her and it resulted in her in the same place, the stream. After that time her travel changed a lot which might be the reason for her not staying in the same place where she traveled cause the present reality has changed for everyone around her.
3. Everything hints that either she is the reason or her grandmother had experienced something similar that’s why her memories stay the same as Sol. Cause I noticed the person who does travel seems to remember everything all the realities and all actions.
4. a. It’s not clear why that but one thing she remembers it was still wrong. Even though the place may have triggered it she thought she was crying cause the killer caught up to her but in reality, she fell to the ground and cried cause sun jae fell into the water. But I have to point out the original timeline Sol didn't remember her kidnapping, her savior, or the original killer. It also got triggered when she was in the past at the same place where the incident took place. That was when she learned it wasn't a simple hit-and-run but she was kidnapped. She got it as a vision but the incident didn't happen it was in the near future like the cliff incident which was in the near future. b. The watch Sol had has 1 time left and Sunjae has had 3. The watch becomes a time-traveling device when sun jae dies so no it wasn’t activated but it transformed into it when he was in the water dying. You have to press the button to activate it which result in time travel. We see this cause Sol struggle for this during her second travel when nothing changed in the present. Sun jae’s watch just like in the original timeline became a device when he died on the cliff. It doesn't mean it was transformed for him the person who presses the button activates it. And mind you why it happened just now it was the first time where SunJae died in past and had his watch unlike the other 2 time when he died in the present when Sol was with the watch. It was like at that moment it created a bootstrap paradox (I guess that is the right term) for that watch which made time travel possible in the first place. Even though Sol has 1 chance left when the new time machine presents itself she used that to travel. I hope I'm saying it clearly. So no Sunjae didn’t went back in time it was Sol who did and stopped their very first meeting. Both of them didn’t travelled back. Only one person did.
I loved it and I loved the ending. It reminded me of The Escape Room movie. The logic was flawed at the end with…
I agree to some extent with the people who deserve it. Cause those who are involved in the bullying do deserve this but the whole class. I mean there must be students who never talked to her or took an interest. Also, the parents somewhat seem doing all this just to satisfy their revenge at this point as the mother relieves it going on for so time. I would have liked it if they kept the memories of the real culprit every time they had to play this game again and again or would have kept them only would have made more sense to their revenge because as soon as they start they forget that classmate they had bullied and seems like seldom remembered it. It also seems they remember this time cause there was an error in this one.
The drama sure starts with a banger and had my hope really high. But I do admit the plot hole in the last episode brings my hope down. As the series ended I was ahhh! It ended that’s it. It felt like a fever dream that time and seemed half-assed done and more like dragged and then rushed. The timeline thing does get me. Also, it was a little hard to watch the Joseon ML in the ending episode especially when the FL actually started loving Seoul ML cause she felt for Joseon one and approached and accepted the Seoul one as she saw the bits of her husband in him and in the last episode it just reversed and all he got was cold shoulder. Also doesn't her decision change the new timeline? Nonetheless, nothing like that happened instead we see that her story gets updated while the Kang family doesn't seem to be affected by that. *Maybe it’s because she died and the rule to change the virtuous widow was not fully abolished, so they might got the status and that what made the modern-day Seoul timeline intact* (that is the best explanation I can give myself) but again it seems like a big plot hole in the end. Also, the fact that when she travelled the first time it was the deity who made it. The second time it's like she died and then after a couple of days hopped in Seoul, that too with a different dress last time it happened nothing was changed this time it was like his imagination. Even on the wedding day, no one was present not even Sa Wol.
This is the second drama I have watched with Lee Se Young where time travel is the element and the drama starts strong then the end just leaves you with plot holes and is rushed. Still, this one is easy to binge, and the fact that at least 11/12 episodes make you hooked. The chemistry was really good, and the main lead as well as the second lead couple makes it a fun ride.
Thank you for this informative article. I haven’t watch costumes drama cause i just don’t find them attracting (whether it’s C or K drama) so I wasn’t aware of so much voice dubbing in those dramas. I remember i was watching Cdrama “Sweet teeth” (which was honestly my second drama) i fell so hard for the character Ai Jing Chu (played by Bi Wenjun) and the main reason was his soft spoken voice and after finishing the drama almost a week later I found his voice was dubbed. NGL i was so bummed about that. That was the first time I learned about the dubbing situation in Cdrama. Then again I didn’t mind it that much. I come to know that his dialect was so heavy that they needed a voice dubbing artist for him.
I was and am okay cause yes China is big country with multiple dialects spoken across the entire country. But i do agree with people when they say that voice is also a big part of acting and they should either do their own dubbing or at least practice/learn the dialect that often used in dramas.
Then again dubbing has never stopped me from binge watching Cdramas, and I honestly don’t mind it. What gets me is complete silence in couple of scenes specially in mini dramas. It completely silence so much so that at moments you can hear their voice echoing or some actor basically sounding like young children other than that i never found voice dubbing off putting.
1. Original timeline - I don’t believe that Sun Jae committed suicide. Why?
