She stole the show this episode.

I’ve been saying this from episode one when people said he had no reaction to finding her. The way he was looking at her. It was like someone trying not to show any emotion but they cannot help themselves catching a glance.

No, it’s not just you. Going from the comments, it’s the majority of viewers here.

Isn’t Chae Yong Hyeop listed as the sml?

imo his concern/feelings for her did slip out a few times that’s why the theory is out there that he’s pretending not to know her.

Because elsewhere, every synopsis of the show says she falls for the music producer (the younger brother).

You’ve pick up on why most likely Ki-ho is not Woo-Hak (the male lead you are referring to). Some of us think Ki-ho is the brother (the silent/quiet one).

I’m surprised so many people have missed all the clues the writers have laid out for why Bo-geol is likely Ki-ho, considering there are so many clues already:

1. He volunteers to clean islands
2. He kept staring at her on the boat which was unlike how the others were looking at her.
3. He tried to protect her privacy from being filmed immediately after coming off the island.
4. He bought her a new pair of shoes.
5. The person who waited for Mok-ha outside the train station was clearly older than a teenager. I think at one point they showed him in navy? uniform which means he remembered her into adulthood.
6. He suggested Ran-Joo for the stars of the past show his boss wants to do.
7. He went to speak to Ran-joo himself at the local festival.
8. He works in the music industry. (I think this is on purpose)
9. His demeanor more closely matches young Ki-ho
10. He’s clearly hiding something

These are too many coincidences/hints for it not to be him.

This is a good question. I’ve seen dramas that came out say in 2022 but the current day setting in the drama was 2021 and it was because of when the drama was filmed. So I think this may be the case again.

They’re remaking Love: Life on the line apparently. It’s supposed to be out in November or December I heard.

I appreciate you commenting and sharing your theories. I can’t say I know what’s coming but personally, I think it’s hinting towards Bo-Geol being Ki-ho and not Woo-hak. I like the theory about Ran-joo. That makes sense if she does turn out to be Mok-ha’s mother.

lol 😂 😂

This is the formula so unfortunately, I think this is how it’s going to play out.

I love reading theories although it got a little wild there in the end. 😆

ikr
I didn’t realise she was doing the vocals until I came across the music video on YouTube. 😍

I get the attachment to Woo-Hak and wanting him to be Ki-ho as he’s the one currently by her side helping her but let’s not forget he found her completely by chance after messing around with a drone and took her to her hometown because he is chasing a story as instructed by his boss. And like any decent human, when he went to her hometown and saw how she was being treated he felt sorry for her. It’s nothing deeper than that at this point. Honestly, he’s doing the bare minimum, which feels like a lot because everyone in her life has been so shitty to her except for her best friend, Ki-ho and now him. Also the attachment comes about because Mok-ha says he reminds her of Ki-ho. Bo-Geul has also been helping her in the background but we’re not attached to him yet because he is keeping his distance. It’ll be interesting to see the opinions of viewers once Bo-Geul and Mok-ha start getting close and we get more hints that he might be Ki-ho. The writers will definitely make it seem like it could be either of them right up to the end before revealing the true Ki-ho.

Exactly, and this wouldn’t be a problem for most viewers if they did a better job convincing us that the different versions are the same people. Then we wouldn’t be feeling any type of way but they all feel like separate people even though they are the same person.

Same as you, I have different variations of how the theory could work. I suspect he’s actually the older brother but is pretending to be younger or he is indeed the younger brother but because he’s so smart, skipped ahead in school so he was always younger than Mok-ha.

Please tell me what you suspect as it’s not obvious to me but I’d like to know. 😅 Thanks in advance.

It seems strange to me that they will spend less time on the two relationships they want us to care about; the present day couple as their older selves as this is the conclusion, and the younger version couple; not the origin in terms of chronological order but the origin in terms of who the audience came to care for first. Couple that with giving the most screen time to the depiction of the relationship with older and younger, which for a group of reasons just doesn’t work in a way for the emotions to resonate or for the audience to connect to this iteration of the coupling; it serves as a HUGE miss. I don’t think this is all down to the acting capabilities of the actor who plays older Soon. At least I don’t know if his acting is bad or if it just seems that way because every creative choice that concerns his character is falling flat. It’s interesting to see that compared to the last couple of episodes; episode 1 and the second half of this episode with the younger versions just works. Everything just clicks. I think it was a poor choice to ground this series so heavily in the origins of the older and younger relationship. Anything they were trying to achieve through spending time with this couple could have been achieved in one episode, two max with 5 or 10 minutes dedicated to them in future episodes to tie in the story together.
