FL chooses a bully over the nice ML. ML also simps for her all the time he forgets he's there to get revenge for his brother. Basically all characters are stupid and annoying

Honestly Kang Ha pissed me off when he starts simping the main girl. He should've killed the bullies way earlier if that's what the scene is about

First half is fun, second half is a shit show. The post credit scene is so unnecessary too like wtf even is that

I'm not questioning it because no one is surprised that SK is homophobic. I mean you do realize "BL" dramas in Korea are not actually written for the gays, right? I'm just pointing out that all the frothing at the mouth is not equal with the small content. It misleads people into thinking that the original story has this big love story involving the two main characters: Deukpal and Sekyung. I didn't even see this much outrage over Jon Kent not being bisexual in the series Superman and Lois smh

Ah I see. I just meant the time travel type. The whole AOS movie triloggy is a star trek parallel universe cause you get original series Spock meeting Zachary Quinto's Spock. Every change in action by time traveler (in star trek movie's case, the Romulan who killed Krik's dad) creates a new branch of timeline but the old timelime still exists because old Spock doesn't disappear. So in that sense the time travel in star trek is similar as the one in Flash. Meanwhile in Back to the Future, changing the timeline erases Marty's siblings from the picture he bought to the past, possibly Marty too if his parents didn't kiss. So the old timeline is erased. I think Lovely Runner is simple like that.

Also thanks, it's my favorite hyeyoon's photo

Nah the time travel in the flash and star trek creates parallel timelines. This is more like Back to the Future movies (not games/comics) where the new timeline is overwriting the old timeline

See, this was my question too. The way people are raging over it makes it seems as if the original story is a big gay love story. Turns out in the novel the gay part is a small part between the high schoolers (the real Yiheon and Sekyung) but they're only a thing in the end of the story or something so for me it doesn't really matter cause I love Deukpal in Yiheon's body more lol

I don't really get your question but basically I saw a bunch of BL folks boycotting the drama because the drama erased the gay part. I didn't know which one is the couple in the novel and I like Deukpal a lot so I didn't think much about Yiheon's possible return (kinda wish Deukpal to never leave the body honestly haha) so Deukpal x Sekyung is the only couple I can think of when people say the drama is supposed to be gay

That's why I asked why are people angry over it not being gay? I thought if it's gay like the canon then it'll be creepy age gap romance (again, because I thought Deukpal in Yiheon's body x Sekyung is the main couple)

No, I thought the main couple in the novel is Deukpal in Yiheon's body x Sekyung, like how the king in Mr. Queen is actually in love with the chef not the OG queen (which makes the ending stupid). Glad to know it was actually OG Yiheon after getting his body back x Sekyung

Ah that's good to know

How is that not creepy, the gangster is like 50 years old? Unless the romance happens after Yiheon returns to his body? Genuinely asking

Yoon Chanyoung is so good in this gosh I love him. I'm curious tho, does the original work has the same story? Cause I don't get the outrage if it's the same. it would be a creepy age gap romance

a detective-like military unit that chases runaway soldier

or the anime Erased lol

Yeah I really don't like how they drag the whole taxi driver side plot too. They could've resolved it way earlier and the new conflict is having Sunjae dead again due to depression or anxiety to call back to episode 1, then Sol realizing Sunjae is better with her instead of without her. I don't understand why they completely disregard the OG novel suicide plot. A time travel story to prevent suicide can be well written too, like the anime Orange for example

For me episode 9 was fine. I like the show better when the plot is linear. Episode 13 has too many back and forth from past and present, the editing is so messy it doesn't flow as well as previous episodes

Episode 13 might be the weakest episode yet but I'm looking forward to episode 14 a lot

To be fair leaving the train makes Sunjae cities away from her so Sol probably thought the distance is far enough to prevent Sunjae from saving her

Ngl I like this edgy artsy thriller kdrama era netflix has going on right now. It's very refreshing because even if it ends up being a mid show, even if it can be very polarizing (you either love it or hate it), the basic idea is always interesting. And I like The 8 Show a lot. It has lower stakes cause it's not a live or death situation and yet it portrays human greed and desperation better than Squid Game. Quite realistic too because people do stupid shit to make YouTube/TikTok content. Sucks that half of the characters are one dimentional tho. But overall it's a fun dark comedy show. Solid 8 from me

Do you mean the character not the acting? KHY's acting is phenomenal like always but if you're asking if the characters are different, yes Danoh is overconfident while Sol is kinda shy
