romcom hasn't been romcoming this hard since... GOSH I don't know?!! when was the last time I saw a romcom in kdramaland that hooked me this much? that made me think everything was perfect??? 2019?? wth?

sdfghjkl!!!! the way this scene was so random at first and now it has so much depth and heartbreak! ugh!!

The thing about romcoms in kdramas, that I LOVE, is that a really good one is able to give you equal measures of romance, heart, comedy and good drama/angst. That, paired up with good acting, AMAZING chemistry and just the right touch of fantasy is pretty much a *chef's kiss*. Is just everything you could ask for but were afraid to hope for, does that make sense??

HAHAHAHAHA I love that she is basically a liar and a terrible one. None of what she says makes sense (tbh telling the truth also wouldn't lol) but I love that he tries to believe her or wants to, very much.

Also, it's hilarious that her superpower is freezing time to avoid revealing spoilers from the future and she makes use of it in the most unhinged way:

GOLD! lmao

And with Hyeyoon on board, I knew this project was on good hands, that girl is seriously underrated in Korea (hopefully not anymore after this) but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about WooSeok. Like, don't get me wrong, that man is GORGEOUS but the only good thing of him that I actually loved was a movie. BUT after this, wow, is like all that experience he has, finally leveled up because he is actually meeting Hyeyoon's standards of acting here, and I'm so proud and relieved. I didn't know he had it in him.

Like, excuse me? Why do you have me tearing up at the start of the episode? And omg, to think he stayed away because she was angry and he felt so guilty, even though he saved her.

I'm genuinely optimistic about the outcome of this. We all know they will get their happy ending, but I'm actually hopeful that the acting, writing and pacing will remain this good till the end. What a joy to watch a wonderful romcom with the vibes of the good old classic romcoms from the early 2010's. We're so back, baby!

I am very curious as to why she went back to the present the first time. What is the trigger? We know, because Sol figured it out, that the watch only works at midnight and she probably only has 2 chances left to change SunJae's future as long as that creepy CEO walks around his school i don't think so But what ends a trip back into the past? Is it shock from Sol? Sunjae? Something happening that's definitely off-track like TaeSun asking her to be his gf? Aarrrghh so many questions.

Betting the entire collection of Sun Jae's umbrellas that this dude is the murderer.

(It was either gonna be him or the bandmate and after we saw the bandmate in 2008 and his grief in 2023, he's eliminated.)

It gets me so much how well this drama conveys the infatuation of first young love. The way SJ looks so pleased when he turns the fan on quietly to cool her down without waking her...

Or the way he notices a strand of hair blown onto her face and removes it but it's the feeling of it, the way he stares at the way the strand stick to her face - how well I remember that feeling, the feeling of the most mundane action or attribute of the person you are into being the most amazing discovery, the most fascinating thing because it's theirs.

And the hand comparison thing killed me! (Also, the size difference with this OTP in general is the stuff my dreams are made of!) But the way he looks as if he's about to dare the most unimaginable naughtyness...ahhh, they feel so young.

The way he bolts, shocked at himself and his own boldness, from the merest finger touch as if they'd gotten naked and to third base. I feel about a million years old watching them but in the best way.

Pretty sure it’s a different accident. She flips though her calendar at some point earlier in the episode and it’s still a couple months away. Plus I’m sure she’d be hyper aware of the date of the accident and it seems like it was a normal day.

This drama has the best ep endings! The scene where he saved her and she flashed back and actually remembered what she suppressed (because everything related to the accident was so traumatic) that it was he who rescued her the first time around too, and the reason he never let her know or sought her after was because she was distraught and enraged at being saved? AAAA!

(And then in the coda, we see that he did call her that day we saw in the prologue on purpose and when she didn't recognize him - aaaaaa!!!)

And the way everything changes even further for her - because now it's not he saved her from suicide without knowing her or is a nice sweet high school boy she likes now but he's someone who literally saved her from death in the most literal, physical way possible before saving her through that call some time later. It really is cosmic balance that she's sent back to save him (and extra fitting because he saved her initially from being killed - ie it wasn't suicide attempt, that came later and now she is here to save him from also being murdered, though she does not know it wasn't suicide in 2023.)

Also, this phrasing? I am screaming!

They are my kdrama OTP of the year. Yes, I realize we are only a third in and a ton of other kdramas can and will air. But all I can tell you they will have to work insanely hard to beat this as both drama and OTP of the year for me.

The way she throws herself into his arms and his face!

I am sorry, can we discuss the size of his hand on her head:

I love them so much!

Is this the accident he saved her from in life 1 (and this time her losing the use of her legs was averted) or is the one where she lost the use of her legs still scheduled in the future?

I was thinking the thing lol!

Guess we can’t just have a normal car accident.

Lovely Runner, ep 4

This show just ripped my heart out in the first and last scenes that were from Sun Jae's perspective. We get the confirmation that he was the one who saved her. How it must have hurt for him to hear Sol saying he should have left her to die. He did remember her on the bridge in the future. I wonder if he connected what she said about being thankful for existing to what he said to Sol back then. Sun Jae wanted to take her home not only because he is genuinely nice person, but he because he wanted to spend more time with her after all those years. Sol gives him the candy and he is reminded of the first time she gave it to him.

I WAS A MESSSSS with scene.

I am also more firm that he did not commit suicide.

Sol figures out that she can change the future. I am also curious as to what Sun Jae felt he had to apologize for. Sol works out how to go back to the past.

I guess past/OG timeline Sol does not remember spending time with Sun Jae, which is why she tells her mom and grandma that she's lost chunks of her memories. I feel really bad for Sun Jae. Sol is confusing him terribly. Not totally on purpose but still confusing him.

What I find really interesting is Tae Sung is the only one who really gets that there are two Sols. Well, gets might not be quite the right word. But he's the only one who sees two different personalities. He instantly knew when 2023 Sol was back because he automatically called her grandma again. Some of that has to do with how 2023 Sol has been speaking to him. She talks to him very differently than anyone else. Still, he can separate the two Sols though I am not sure what he thinks about it. I genuinely like him.

I cannot believe Sol just talked her way into Sun Jae's house. The books knocking her out was a bit ridiculous (as was his dad somehow forgetting she was there). However I am willing to forgive that since we get the hand measuring scene that had me screaming into my hands. Then I was dying of laughter when he just up and rolled her up in a blanket, put her over his shoulder to get her our of the house without his dad knowing.

I am glad that Sun Jae told her to stop or try to draw some sort of boundary. I love how despite his frustration, he gave her his slippers. He's such a good person in all of this.

The taxi driver was really suspicious. My guess is that he has something to do with her accident and that it happened on that bridge. She's wearing her uniform in the first scene when Sun Jae saves her plus it happens a couple months from where we are currently in the timeline. Her falling in the water now and Sun Jae pulling her out must have triggered the memory from the accident.

And then we get the last scene where we find out that not only did Sun Jae know it was Sol on the phone, but he deliberately called her. Honestly, I feel almost like Sol in that I want to protect Sun Jae at ALL COST.
