Grandma with dementia also remembers things that never happened. Also Sol's brother is playing the lottery numbers…
But SunJae has no actual reason to have deja-vus OR dreams about a past that never was. He never LIVED those moments, if she erased the whole past after they DIDN'T meet. That's the whole point.
For a rom-com reason, it doesn't need an explanation, but TBH it does detract from what it was building in the first 13 eps. I expected something that ends up with its own inner logic, like W or Someday or One Day, but I guess not (or not yet, hopefully.)
Grandma with dementia also remembers things that never happened. Also Sol's brother is playing the lottery numbers…
Yeah, with yesterday's ep I got really grouchy for a long time - EVERYTHING they built is being erased but hey, it's time-travel and rom-com so it doesn't need inner logic. LOL.
Now we get to pick and decide for ourselves exactly which part of whatever there was in those previous 13 eps should still work in order to get a HEA...
NGL, I had better expectations of the drama until now, but I'm not going to drop it two eps from the end. I hope they manage a kind-of-makes-sense rom-com-ish ending, LOL, and that they don't totally drop the ball, but IF that was the original intention / follows the novel story, then it's either poorly scripted, or edited, or executed in the first place.
is this correct. Assume the first case where FL didn't go back in time.FL misses the bus and gets down at wrong…
That's the OG version of the reality. That's the Sol who keeps going back, while keeping her memories.
The first time she went back, she hadn't known SunJae previously (when he saved her, though she was left paralysed. She became his fan only after he talked her into some sense regarding the value of life). The second time around, she was involved with him already and he still ended up seriously injured. The third time she went back he got killed outright, in the past, not even getting to the future.
The fourth time she went back, and avoided him AND the killer completely, they never met until the present day. But she still remembers all the past events.
oh look, the infamous amnesia trope with a twist....seriously, this is literally not possible for him to remember…
Grandma with dementia also remembers things that never happened. Also Sol's brother is playing the lottery numbers she never gave him in this timeline (unless there's a twist). And now SunJae dreams of the alternate realities she's been in with him.
I guess it's going to be no-inner-logic romcom to the end. But it might work, if we squint really hard and pretend not to notice the flaws.
... At least in W Two Worlds he never gets to remember once he deletes the real-world memories...
i can’t understand how in this new timeline tae sung is a policeman and imsol’s friend lmfao 😭
He doesn't know her in this timeline, apparently. Or so it looked from their interraction. If she wiped off the whole past, they wouldn't be close. He only seems to have a vague memory of her because she used to pester him when they were in school, but now it's been dozens of years, he's forgotten about her.
....Are you freaking f*cking with me right now? So then why did we freaking watch 13 freaking eps for?!
So, let's do it this way - she didn't actually change ANYthing in the past but their original meeting. The whole romance is wiped out. They never met as teens. She didn't make any impression on him, there's no Eclipse, TaeSung doesn't know her either.
But SHE still remembers everything, every change, every way the world moved for DOZENS of freaking years (because she changed the future what, about three times? And then had to re-live and get to the time jump place again).
Why isn't she dead then? Because her past self would have no idea why she should keep out of the killer's way (since current Im Sol is always returning to the future/present). Also why the freak does HIS watch, that has NO meaning any more, still work as a time machine?
This doesn't even make any in-drama sense. WTF?!
Not to mention that the moment she's back we're served with the whole slapstick comedy of her being a poor movie producer and having to deal with a drunkard star who - out of the blue - mimicks the whole scandal of SYJ and KJH, I mean, WHAT THE FREAKING HELL!!!
I am... not really speechless, but way, way less impressed with the drama than I was yesterday.
Oh well. We'll see what there's still there for it to have a kind of ending.
He got into a gay fight with Ming. (That is, they tried to scratch their respective eyes out and pull their dyed hair out by the roots, LOL, at the time staying at arms' length from each other :D) For a very heavy ep, that was hilarious AF.
So the mom did know everything that would happen in the wedding but she definitely saw more right? Her whole conversation…
It's either 1. she got the ring from the man who saved her in the fire (she's stroking the precious so many times, it's clearly not just something stolen), or 2. they did steal the ring in advance (that would be a bummer) BUT they never knew about the superpowers when they set up the scam, so the ring would have zero importance in their plans...
He went from let's-wait-for-love-before-registering-the-marriage to completely besotted, all in the space of a…
It doesn't come through like that in the episode - or not for me, anyway. I can see how it can be justified, it's just not shown as that. And since the actors can do a good job - because they've been doing it - it might be the script. Or maybe the way they edited the scenes, I don't know. Something didn't gel right.
He does seem kind of emotionally stunted though - as if he's not a man in his thirties, a father, someone who handled a very tough job (being a firefighter and all), but rather someone who''s fixed on one idea and one idea only. As if he NEVER ever had any other kind of ideas in his head.
... I could totally understand his wife if she did cheat on him, in the past.
I didn't expect the mother to stop it, since she thinks she's dreaming the unchangeable future. But maybe just give him a small heads-up not to put all his hope on this one woman (who he doesn't even really know if he's in love with or not.) His look at the end of her confession - totally broken, already checking out... the mom never told him a thing. I wouldn't expect her to tell him that DDH will confess to being a scammer... just to take action, any action, to protect her own, depressed-into-alcoholism kid.
But what do I know, superhero moms of superhero kids are a different species anyway LOL.
He went from let's-wait-for-love-before-registering-the-marriage to completely besotted, all in the space of a few days. And she went from let's-register-this-marriage-so-the-con-can-get-on-already to having ethics and morals and a conscience and deciding she's not going to go through with it.
That's either poor writing or poor execution, but IMHO it's the writing.
On the plus side, at least there's a bit more Moon WooJin in the series, and the fake friend showed her colours (also kind of out of the blue, that scene didn't really fit in the place it was put into), aaaand we can all see DoHee's weight going down visibly (which, yay, endorsement for dieting+active life, LOL. Though there's the dreaded Kopiko PPL in the middle of it LOL.)
So what now? He's going to get back to drinking SK dry, and everybody else also goes back to their dysfunctional lifestyles?!
I seriously don't get the mom, though, So her son has found a - however misplaced - new hope for his life, and she decides to just let DDH destroy it all because that's what she saw in the dream? Why not at least TRY to actully prepare him for a meltdown? She just went - oooh, there's something dreadful coming but you get married, what was HE supposed to make of that?!
...The redemption arc does no redeeming, LOL. IMHO it gets worse from now on.
With Haru wo Daite Ita, just don't go to the Alive part (read the older series, not the latest and newest part). She managed to annoy all the fans with it, LOL. As for Motoni Modoru - she draws beautiful stories, just not the one I mentioned. If you want to see what she can do, check out Dog Style (it's not as bad as it sounds LOL). And for more beautiful (and touching) stories, check out Yoneda Kou's No Touching At All (they even made a movie based on it, and it stays true to the manga, it's just the sex scenes that are a bit mechanical, as in most Japanese yaoi movies, anyway).
Danmei can be a mixed bag. Even this one - Professional Body Double - isn't a highlight, I wonder WHY they picked this one. But they're doing an amazing job with it :D
(Oh and BTW another of the author's danmei novels is being already adapted into drama - a costume drama, to boot!! - in Taiwan. (So we can expect actual danmei content and not much censorship, if at all, LOL). It's already linked in the recommendations list above, expected to air in Q2/Q3 this year. )
If I were to pick one to make a drama of... I couldn't even choose, there are so many that are great :D
