Why act offended, you have no leg to stand on while posting completely irrelevant content on an unrelated drama.

The story line is aboslutely better. Chemistry? Always Phayu X Rain.

Lmao okay then

Yes it is one item, the one in the vault was from before ML time travelled to save FL, the one in her suitcase is the same ring that she kept with her since being saved. Essentially as soon as ML returned to save her, there would only be one ring in current day.

He had witnessed the same event a thousand times, its not like he was still functioning on those instincts, he knew what would happen would have to happen. Plus he hadn't been a firefighter for 12 years at least.

I understand, its valid to find it irritating if thats how it made you feel. I personally felt their shared moment showed their understanding of one another, but you dont have to agree.

It still is not a plot hole.

The point is it's impossible either way, because he never would have been able to interact with the past if he had saved his friend and changed his storyline (because he wouldn't have had that moment with the child version of Da Hae where he first became able to interact with the past).

But you seem to want to simplify things to fit your own perspective rather than have a reasonable discourse about the storyline.

I would have liked to see her too, but it would have felt wrong if she was portrayed by another actor and the five years between 13 and 18 have some pretty drastic changes that would have been strange to depict.

Otherwise, I was happy with the ending.

Yeahhh mad disagree. They were all unsure of what was to come and trying to come to terms with what might happen/make the most of their final moments together. It's not like he had foresight knowing he could make it out if only he spent ten seconds less taking a final look at the woman and child he loved; he was just doing his best. As a viewer, I know it's frustrating at the moment, but I think it's valid.

if he somehow saved his colleague in that moment, then the original version of him never would have grieved the loss of his colleague, he wouldn't have revisited that moment repeatedly, his wife likely wouldn't die, the teenager Da Hae would have died in the fire, ML would probably still be revisiting some other event from his past because he's always had an unhealthy relationship with his own power/past. Yes he may have his original wife and child and maybe he would be okay/happy, but the entire plot of the drama would have been an irrelevant exploration.

Or there would be no compliance with the entire lore of the drama if they continued with Da Hae's plotline.

because the lore throughout the entire drama has been that pre-estblished events in the timeline have not changed despite his efforts. Yes, his collegue saw him because he was now able to interact with the time line, but if he had ever changed the time line his friend never would have died in the first place.

He was able to save Da Hae in that itteration of events, when he could finally interact with the environment, because she had already been saved in the time line!

the time line:
can
not
be
changed.

Plot lines and plot holes are different concepts. Yes there could have been a variety of different plot lines explored through the drama, but plot holes mean that the plot did not comply with lore established within the drama.

The drama did comply with all established lore, so you can absolutely hold that view but it doesn't make it factual.

It doesn't have plotholes, if things happened the way you describe it would have plotholes, those are the facts.

You don't seem to grasp the plot depth relating to trauma but that's on you boo.

I have tried to explain how that was not how the storyline works (and if that had happened it would invalidate the entire premise of the show) but you seem unable to understand, or unwilling to acquiesce that it would not comply with the plot.

the point is, ML revisited that moment a thousand times because he believed his colleague died pointlessly, in place of himself. ML saw his colleague die instantly after entering the school as the twoer collapsed, without saving another life. ML knew there was a female student (FL) stuck within the building that his colleague could not have saved. ML lamented this because the colleague died while leaving behind a wife and family of their own.

The events that unfolded with the FL made these events justified, as his colleague's death was no longer a pointless event, a young student's life was saved through the actions he took. they are firefighters, this is what his colleague risked his life every day to achieve. What's more, her live was valuable despite the degridation she faced due to her family's/peers treatment of her.

Also, for a long time ML isn't sure why he is travelling back in time to see FL (because he hadn't been able to travel back in time/was sturgging with seeing his power as a curse his entire life, when in fact the power itself correlates with his own self esteem/wellbeing/feelings) because he doesn't understand their connection and is in fact developing their connection in the process.

Yes something does prompt him but it is never to attempt to change current day's story line it is always to uphold current day's events.

In the case of saving his sister he is prompted to travel back and let Da Hae know by her telling him to/him having saved his sister after Da Hae informing him sister was in danger.

In the case of saving Da Hae, he is prompted to go back in time and save her based on getting to know her/ her impact on the family.

He could never go back in time and save his wife/friend, because if he had they never would have died in the first place. He only revisted those events frequently because of the pain it caused him, and he only could access that memory of his child because of his eventual connection to Da Hae.

The FL said five years ago/eighteen years ago to her son so that he could bring him back from either when he reappeared in the recent fire/when he saved her in the previous fire. Either way, his power is to bring back something/one from 'yesterday', so the specifics don't need to be overly speculated.

I'm not sure what you even mean/ if you are trying to find plotholes but it follows the same mechanics as the entire drama. He travels back in time to tell FL and then the event unfolds so that he saves his sister, in the same way that he returns back in time to save FL and then the events after her being saved unfold within the drama.

Yes, you are wrong. Nothing changes within the plot from the first episode - ML CAN interact with FL/the past due to their connection, but that does not mean he can return to the past and suddenly return to the future where events will have changed based on the interaction. The time line is established and anything ML returns to the past and does would have already had it's affect on the time line.

You don't seem to understand the time mechanisms of the drama and expect it to correlate with 'The Lovely Runner' based on your comments, in which the timeline is constantly changing and the story changes on a dime.

This drama works on th basis that everything that is an established event within the timeline cannot be changed because it has already happened. Hence, the FL was always going to be saved by the ML-based on established events/the firefighter (who's body was found already within the timeline) could not be saved —the events within the drama just unveil why and how things happened.

Although there is a romantic connection between the ML and FL, that is not the sole focus/emphasis within the story, as you insinuate. The FL's connection to the family and In ha, particularly, is what is most important. The point of the drama is exploring the traumas that left both families in distress, as they all share their pain with one another, begin to understand one another, and heal in the process.
The plot focuses on family, mental health, and self-assurance above all else, although the romantic component was very well depicted and a compelling component.
