I like the director's call; I think it made the scene sweeter rather than sexier, which I think was appropriate…
Yes, they make the time skip work, but a REAL guy not being able to get over someone for that long is a little odd. It works in this story, though, and it just seems cute, not weird!
And I get what you mean about them being grown adults, but I personally prefer that they went the gentler route. ☺️
Apparently the stalker girl is the one who went with Im Sol to the concert in ep 1. I don’t think she has much…
And the stalker girl was only 14 and ran away from home. Have no idea what the purpose of her was? Was it to show us that the person at Sun Jae's door was obviously someone else since she was with Sol when he got attacked?
I mean its good so far... but 9.1 seems way to high to be honest.
Well, it's pretty iconic so far, but rom-coms do tend to do well on this platform, and it's only 8 episodes in. But it's been very steady-as-she-goes up to this point! No one really has any big issues with it yet. 🤷♀️ Tight pacing, not too many plotholes considering how complicated the premise is, endearing and lovable characters, good chemistry, sweet dialogue, no fluff or filler (at this point)--so yeah, going strong I would say! In particular the lead actors are really selling their roles and drawing us in. They're just so cute!
I don't think Sol had zero consideration for her young self. The first time she went back in time, she first thought…
Yes, it did seem to gloss over that a bit, as I think they knew viewers would care more to see how she and Sun Jae reunite. But you're right, she does seem to adjust quickly to everything being different, but since virtually everything is better than before (i.e. her mom isn't burned, no wheelchair, brother and best friend are married and she has a niece in the bargain, Sun Jae's still alive, and she has the new job, etc.), she never really seems too upset about any of it because it's all overwhelmingly happy.
"Byeon Woo Seok kissed Im Sol too hard" That's what the Director thought and told Woo Seok to do it slowly. 😉😆https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B31JXJTE91MI…
I like the director's call; I think it made the scene sweeter rather than sexier, which I think was appropriate for a first kiss. It means Sun Jae was being thoughtful of her, especially since she hesitated at first. So far, Sun Jae has been considerate like that. I'm with the director on this one!
Loving the show so far, but honestly, I don't know why it had to be 15 years of time that went by. Couldn't it have been 5 or 7? Why not have them meet up again later in their 20's? Don't know why they kept this huge gap of time that makes things more unrealistic than they need to be. It makes Sun Jae's lightning speed responses to having Sol back and being "back to how things were" look a little naive for a 34 year old. (This is just one of my tiny gripes... 🙄)
FL tries to reach the ideal "Steins Gate" timeline here, but no luck yet, lol. But unlike Steins; Gate she only…
It doesn't seem either of them have thought that far ahead in the new present (about how they'd get married), and maybe he won't become an idol after she goes back the last time? Just don't know what he'd do instead cause he doesn't have the grades to do much else due to his swim career ending so late in his education.
How is Lovely Runner doing in S Korea? I keep seeing all this talk about Queen of Tears, but the ratings are so…
Nielsen Ratings are low (4-5%) though there are reasons for that, I suppose. Compared to Queen of Tears (albeit, QoTs broke records right and left), LR's ratings are VERY low, but it has less famous actors and airs on Monday/Tuesday which is much less ideal than Saturday/Sunday.
Apparently the webtoon does, and while they've changed a lot from the webtoon, I don't think they'd change THAT. Besides, you don't give rom-coms sad endings. I think it'll be an open ending, at worst.
Also, it's so cozy seeing Sun Jae and In Hyuk on better terms in the new future. Both much more like their old selves. They also have convincing chemistry/interactions for the dynamic of friends who've known each other well for 15+ years. 🥰
The sound effects of dramas like this show they're embracing the cheesy. 😅 It's part and parcel with the genre. But the second-hand embarrassment with this one has been STRONG, ngl.
