While I am glad for this move - cause I am such a big proud fan of Byeon Woo Seok, following his since his modelling days. Also, I feel this movie deserves more recognition than it already has.
But those who have seen this movie are divided on BWS's role - some treat him negatively while others like me might find his role to be tragic. While both are valid interpretations, it is quite ironical how they will cash/ride on BWS' popularity now, when this movie is slightly more focused on the main lead women.
Money indeed makes the world go round - still am happy cause in the end it is a testament of BWS hardwork and perseverance!
Omg Kate! You have literally spoken my mind. Or rather written it. Especially the first lines - literally one of those who went crazy for this show (literally me creating a new page on SNS for this one) and deservedly so - it had its cute moments and angst. But for me I think Ep 11 onwards it became a little repetitive, losing the initial charm - though I still enjoyed and stuck with it, given all the good feels it had initiated.
Still giving it a 9/10 just for how I felt in the beginning and even now it was not that bad. Unfortunately have seen much worse. But then I know myself and would revise my own rating later on, as I rewatch this show or watch other ones.
What about that stalker kid? What’s her role? Why I feel like she is from future?
Kind of like Fate's markers. I have had this thought too - that Sol is thinking the target is her, and Sun Jae's interception is making him lose his life in everytime
But what if no matter what - the taxi driver's target is Sun Jae. Like every event leads to that - it is fated. Maybe she needs to find something else - staying away from SJ is not a solution.
What about that stalker kid? What’s her role? Why I feel like she is from future?
Not sure on this - and I doubt she is a time traveler. She was there previously so that Im Sol gets mixed up with her and meets Sun Jae. But still unclear on her significance in the current timeline - except for the fact that she points directly to evil taxi driver who otherwise has been eluding the police.
1) Sun Jae will Remember Everything: I am guessing since he is already having visions, due to some event - he…
Thanks for sharing your perspectives - am with you on them and can't wait to see how it all plays out.
Just still very curious on Im Sol x Tae Sung friendship and how did they meet in school - without her bumping into Sun Jae.
Because given Sun Jae is part of Eclipse - the band started in school and Tae Sung was part of it. How is it all of it he left - and became a police officer? Also, if Im Sol knows Tae Sung - how does she not bump into In Hyuk and Sun Jae in school.
The song, Sonaki is going to bring them together? Also - in a way to push him away, Im Sol's actions are bringing…
The song has been a catalyst before - making Sun Jae realize that Im Sol is a time traveler. In the preview we can see him composing/singling something - he has the lyrics from Im Sol's script (in a way his own) - and is it going to be a catalyst in bringing back his memories? That would be really poetic - quite literally.
Also this makes me think - Im Sol wanted to cut off herself from his life, but ended up writing the script which lands up in his hands. This is Fate's way of smiling/playing with them, is it? Like she literally created the fate/predestination herself.
Kim Hye Yoon's characters have a similar fate in Extraordinary You and Lovely Runner. Did anyone else also feel…
1) Extraordinary You: Her character, Eun Dan Ho, had to fight against all odds to be with Rowoon's character in every story within the drama. And they were tragic lovers - who could not be united in the end, but kept meeting each other cause their love was strong and memories resurfaced.
Like in the high-school story that is the main plot, they recall their time in the historical story. Then again it seems like all has been reset when in the end they are in a new story based in the university. But we see that in the end - their past feelings surface and they are very much in love against all odds. Tragic and tearfully happy ending!
2) Lovely Runner: So far till Ep 14 - we have seen no matter the timelines and changes - Im Sol and Sun Jae are bound to be together - or rather meet again and again. Predestined/intertwined fate or what you call it - again, no matter the odds they will come together one way or the other. And just like how Haru remembers it all in Extraordinary You - am hoping and guessing the Sun Jae of latest timeline would also remember everything as he is already having visions/dreams and "weird" tingly feelings in his chest.
Just hoping that in this drama end - the evil taxi driver is caught - and Im Sol and Sun Jae get together - and it is truly a happy ending in all respect.
i respect your opinion and this is just mine but i think its a shame to see ep 11-12 as filler. its nice to marinate…
Hahaha I love your comment - poor ML - and yes really hoping for a logical and happy ending for all.
In fact just loved the latest ep 14 - and while I have other theories and thoughts - at least we are back on track and this looks like an exciting and promising finale.
Ep 14 - what an amazing episode that blew away all the inhibitions I had about how this drama would end, given Ep 11-13. So so glad - and even if the wait is going to be agonizing, am so excited for the finale next week. This is such a good drama that deserves 9+ rating. ❤️
Sharing thoughts & theories below basis this episode under first comment under spoiler tag. Do share what you think, if you have seen it so far.
Ep 14 - what an amazing episode that blew away all the inhibitions I had about how this drama would end, given…
1) Sun Jae will Remember Everything:
I am guessing since he is already having visions, due to some event - he will realize why he is drawn to her and the plot. Like Sun Jae says in preview - this is predestined fate and they are bound to meet and be together, one way or another. So in the end, he is going to remember everything - save Sol from taxi driver once and for all - and have a happy ending!
2) Im Sol - Tae Sung Friendship - How?
I really want to know how Im Sol and Tae Sung are such good friends? Like she changed her house, would she have changed her school / or not come to the boys wing - so as to not run into Sun Jae. But in doing so, she would have not met Tae Sung either. And how did he rectify his ways and turn up as a police officer? I hope they show the backstory here.
Just still very curious on Im Sol x Tae Sung friendship and how did they meet in school - without her bumping into Sun Jae. Because given Sun Jae is part of Eclipse - the band started in school and Tae Sung was part of it. How is it all of it he left - and became a police officer? Also, if Im Sol knows Tae Sung - how does she not bump into In Hyuk and Sun Jae in school.
3) Sun Jae's backstory in new timeline?
Another backstory am interested in - Sun Jae and how he became a singer or actor - or is he part of Eclipse or what? Am not really clear - but am assuming unlike original timeline where Sun Jae had more fame than other members of Eclipse. But in this new timeline - looks like In Hyuk and Sun Jae both are equals and so are there other members? Hence the endorsement that Im Sol remarks used to be done by Sun Jae is done by In Hyuk - like all members have a equal footing - and hence the rapport is better and overall Sun Jae seems happier than the original timeline.
We see the booklet of rehab center - and am assuming it did not workout and hence he followed In Hyuk to auditions/Superstar K and got into Eclipse.
4) How does Grandma know everything?
What is this unexplained mystic power - I really want to know. But I feel it would not be explained - just like many mysteries of this real world. It is cute and makes me so happy though.
5) Why Im Sol did not alert about Evil Taxi Driver?
Given Tae Sung is such a good friend of Im Sol - why could she not tell him about taxi driver. Assuming he has not been caught for the reservoir kidnappings and murders which irrespective of timeline shift - he must have done. And given that Im sol moved away - she never interacted with him, and become his target. Still she could have confided in him as a suspicious person to be on RADAR all times - or like how in one of the timelines she shares about his hideout - she could have anonymously tipped the police off. Just thinking out loud - given he is the reason Sun Jae keeps getting harmed in every timeline - should not this be her first priority?
Or maybe she did tell Tae Sung something - as a hunch, because when they made the sketch the other police officer nods in some kind of recognition. So maybe they have been keeping tabs.
6) Targets of Evil Taxi Driver: In preview we can see him riding fast towards Sun Jae who is experiencing headache cause of the visions / memories coming back to him. Either he will meet with an accident and it will be True Beauty all over again - or maybe he will be saved by Sol coming in between them - and losing the use of her legs again.
But why is the taxi deriver bent on harming them in this timeline? He hasn't come across Im Sol - so she cannot be his "chosen" target/ I am assuming he is trying to run away from the police chasing him and might hit Sun Jae/Sol accidently and be caught in the process somehow. Because otherwise it does not make sense why he will specifically come after either of them. Or maybe he remembers the last few timelines as well - and is out to kill/revenge.
7) Sonaki is going to bring them together?
The song has been a catalyst before - making Sun Jae realize that Im Sol is a time traveler. In the preview we can see him composing/singling something - he has the lyrics from Im Sol's script (in a way his own) - and is it going to be a catalyst in bringing back his memories? That would be really poetic - quite literally.
Also this makes me think - Im Sol wanted to cut off herself from his life, but ended up writing the script which lands up in his hands. This is Fate's way of smiling/playing with them, is it? Like she literally created the fate/predestination herself.
i respect your opinion and this is just mine but i think its a shame to see ep 11-12 as filler. its nice to marinate…
I really hope so - like to further explain what I shared - if we had an excitement meter Ep 1-10 for me were 100/10 it was at its peak or even more. In comparison, the rest felt like 9/10. Not that it is anyway bad - just a comparison.
BUT I really hope this ends beautifully as it began!

Thank you for giving it a read - and sharing your thoughts! ❤️
https://mydramalist.com/profile/omo-omo-omo/reviews/363243 since we have very similar views. Hope that it is okay.

When Im Sol and Hyun Ju were discussing in the car, seeing the school album - wondering where he went after school and her accident.
I also added in The Glory x Penthouse X Elite - felt those vibes as well from the trailer and posted on a comment yesterday: https://mydramalist.com/749309-hierarchy#comment-17351487

Adding it in first comment under spoiler tag - for those who are yet to watch. Anyone who has seen them both - do share what you think?
In fact just loved the latest ep 14 - and while I have other theories and thoughts - at least we are back on track and this looks like an exciting and promising finale.
