I feel like the accident involving Sol and Sunjae's death was caused by the same person. After watching episode 4, I'm pretty sure it was the taxi driver. I don't think it's anyone close to Sunjae who killed him. Inhyuk is highly unlikely; in the novel, he's genuinely a good person. Even though the drama might have some differences, it's unlikely they'd suddenly turn Inhyuk into a killer. Sunjae's swimming rival is clearly jealous of him, but would he really go around driving taxis instead of practicing swimming? CEO Kim might not be a good person, but I don't think he's the killer, and his eyes don't match the taxi driver's.
Then I read a theory from someone on X. I'll attach the thread link below. She said the culprit is a psychopathic serial killer posing as a taxi driver. This case will be handled by Taesung's father, who is a detective. This case is also based on a real event in Korea in 2008, targeting women alone at bus stops. In the trailer, Sol will encounter this taxi driver again, and Sunjae will save her. Later, the taxi driver is imprisoned and, 15 years after being released, seeks revenge on them. In the thread, she matched the taxi driver's eyes with those of a man who had never appeared in the drama but had a photo with other cast members. I thought their eyes looked similar.
Youth? Like school drama? Can someone share synopsis?
If I got translations right, the tags in the novel are urban love, industry elite, media ML x bank FL. They have been friends for ten years and secretly love each other all this time.
Campus love story, looks like a cute and fluffy romance. I’ve read many other people's reviews, and they’re saying the novel is good. You can refer to novelupdates for the novel, but it is just some chapters that got translated.
I was just about to say that her ex could be alive. But I don’t think he was harsh on her. She was crazily obsessed…
Doha must be too tired of her behavior. It wasn't the first time she had held him back, asking to forget other things that were important to him and just be hers. If Doha even thought of anything else, she would get angry and even try to hurt herself. It had happened several times and Doha just couldn't take it anymore. If a girl like that was my ex in the rl, I would die of exhaustion too. Why didn’t he look after her during the beach scene? Then she will think he still cares about her. Besides that, is there any guarantee that after that, she won't attempt suicide again? The problem is clearly in her obsession.
