totally agree. I see them come in and just ignore them. I don't like the condescending ones, but I don't want…
Gotta agree to the firstresponse to your comment. This type of troll just want a reaction and spread negativity, they're not worth your time and energy.
Again. I don't think it's wrong to not like a show and express your opinion... because some potential viewers might come across the comment, read the explanations of the person who didn't like it and decide it's not for them instead of wasting time on a show they just know they won't like.
It's perfectly valid. I haven't been obsessed with a show like this in years... but to each one his own. What I can't tolerate is being insulted...
But since these type of trolls are not worth it... also because my free time is scarce so I'd rather fill it with positivity, I just ignore them. I know sometimes it's difficult to resist... but trust me, the same idiot insulting others of being immature and childish or whatever is probably going from one comment section to another comment section, literally stalking who is the innocent victim who is going to fall into this trap.
It's not even a matter of age. My little's brother colleague who is in his early 30s, has openly admitted that he spends most of his free time doing exactly that, trolling until somebody answers him. A former colleague of my father, in his early 70s does exactly the same... I'll never understand that type of people... and I really don't want to.
totally agree. I see them come in and just ignore them. I don't like the condescending ones, but I don't want…
Best reaction I think. I don't mind people not liking the show and expressing why they don't necessarily like it... But some comments are just downward insulting. One person said only white 14 years old girl liked this type of cheesy shows ( nothing wrong with liking this if you're 14 btw). Well sorry, late 30s mixed-raced woman talking here.
This comment section is pretty wholesome I think. So far, everybody has had the best reaction which is basically to advise people who didn't like it to just drop the show... and ignore the insulting comments.
Also taste change as you get older. Personally I was much more into thrillers in my early 20s. In the past 5/6 years however I've been moving more towards light hearted romance. Life is tough, I need some sweetness from my Asian dramas in my free time. I still enjoy thrillers... But I do watch romances much more. It's more a matter of natural taste + personal circumstances. Given what's shown on the news, I personally can't take too much darkness.
He will probably wait for 14 years. It's unfair to expect young Sol to fall for SJ when she has no history with…
Oh... Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my previous message? I did confess when he did. But we sort of left it at that. I don't know what he felt, didn't dare to ask and he didn't ask me either. As I said, my personal life was a huge mess back then, I had bigger fishes to fry and he was living in Brazil. In dramas, people act on their impulses... in real life, even when there's no risks involved, people are much more restrained.
EDIT: Ok I know where the ambiguity is coming from. I told him I LOVED him back then but didn't confess I still had the same feelings... and he did the same. So I don't know if he still had feelings or not.
Do you remember that scene in Lovely Runner before that really hot kiss in Sol's appartement?
If he and I would play that scene in real life, what would have happened is a mutual confession, me going back to the appartment... but unlike in the drama, he wouldn't have ran upstairs to catch my door. It does take a form of courage that drama heroes have in spades but real people just don't.
So yeah... you could say, I resolved it without resolving it. I got stuck in the uncertainty hell. Ultimately anyway, some questions will never get any definite answer, but I swore to myself, the next time I feel as strongly for someone, I'll face it head on. Problem: It has never happened again so far.
As I mentioned, I confessed once but got rejected... other guys I tried to have a relationship with were the ones who approached me, and I used to hope I would develop feelings after a while but that never happened so at some point, I just gave up. It's unfair to the other party... although you would be surprised at how some men insist you give them a chance even though you clearly told them you're not interested.
Unlike drama heroines though, life is not awful living with myself. I do get the original pang of loneliness, but ultimately I do live a very interesting and fulfilling life. I think it's important to make sure you live your life to the fullest even if you have no significant other. Course I wish I had someone, particularly since at my age, most people are married with kids... but seeing them, I'm not particularly envious. It's their life and I'm happy for them (well those who are happy because unfortunately many aren't), but there are many experiences I had in my life that I could never have experienced if I had been in a committed relationship and/or with kids. You should always make the best of your situation after all life is a journey whether you enjoy it or not depends mostly on you, not other people.
Sorry, there's no happy ending to my story... there's not even a proper ending. If it was a drama, I would give my first love story a ratings of 2 out of 10 for a very dissatisfying conclusion >_<
He will probably wait for 14 years. It's unfair to expect young Sol to fall for SJ when she has no history with…
Yeah... It's unfortunately very common. There are so many time slip dramas that I feel lots of screenwriters probably have had similar experiences. Youth is wasted on young people. Confidence comes with experience unfortunately when you're young, you have everything but confidence. Some manage to get past it quickly, but the bullying I got really prevented me to fully live my life up to my early 30s.
I don't dwell too much on my regrets usually except when I need some strength to take risks... But this drama does make me feel nostalgic.
He will probably wait for 14 years. It's unfair to expect young Sol to fall for SJ when she has no history with…
I don't think I'd feel bad about my first crush getting married... That's just life, you can't expect people not moving on...
But I do occasionally wonder if I never managed to get into a long committed relationship myself because he was my soulmate and we missed each other.
Sounds cheesy as fudge I know. But I would have preferred living through the relationship even if it would have ended at some point than having this "What if" question hanging over my head.
I think love as depicted in dramas is extremely are... but I do have two examples in my life. One is a former colleague. Got married to his first love at 19. Had their kids very early. When he told me his story, he was 45, proud father of two daughters both at university... and best thing. Since he was still young and active, he was still very in love with his wife and working on several projects with her.
Another is my former boss. Got married at 23 with her husband... In her late 50s. Pretty wealthy and happy couple. Met both of them at their house. It was pretty obvious that they still loved each other as much as when they got married.
I think it's particularly obvious when you meet that type of couple because honestly there're the only two couples I can think of. Most people stay together because of the fear of being alone, monetary reasons or simply because they're used to each other.
I'm a romantic, so I want the "love of my life" type of love... Otherwise I'd rather stay alone. I always see life as a cake. The important thing is the cake... love is just the cherry on top. Without the cake, the cherry won't be able to fill you. But the cake can stand on its own if you see what I mean...
He will probably wait for 14 years. It's unfair to expect young Sol to fall for SJ when she has no history with…
Lol Unfortunately no...
I think when you get to my age ( late 30s), this type of time slip drama in which you resolve old regrets really resonate differently... But life doesn't offer any timeslip unfortunately.
Back when I had still a Facebook account, I found his profile. I must have been 22 or 23 at the time. Anyway I sent him a message to ask how he was doing and if he remembered me. That's when he told me that he hadn't forgotten me since I was his first love and he had loved me for many years. What a waste.
I wasn't confident... notably because I had been "teased" ( I think the most appropriate word would be "bullied" but I was never hit... just verbal abuse) by my classmates for literally primary to the end of middle school. And he told me, he liked me... but he was an idiot and he was afraid he would get mocked by his friends if he asked me out. As sad as it sounds, it's a very valid reason for a teenager to keep quiet. After all, your whole life is at school at that age and image is everything.
Anyway back then he had emigrated to Brazil for work. He wasn't really into social networks in the first place and I was going through a rough patch in my personal life so I was happy to learn that he was doing well, but apart from confessing I had had the same feelings ( I still had the same feelings back then... but since I hadn't seen him for many years, I wasn't sure if it was me loving him or the image I still had of him) I didn't ask him any personal questions.
I've since erased my Facebook account... unfortunaly the few times I've tried to check how he was doing... I couldn't. Unless I have a facebook account and trust me, it's not going to happen again, there's no way to know if he got married or whatever. His name is just too common and he used to be an extremely private person so there's 0 traces of him online. I haven't even found a professional picture.
Anyway, I've had to make peace with it. I'm hoping to meet my significant other and put this story behind. Unless I'm perfectly happy with somebody else, I'm bound to always look back on this story from time to time. I confessed to another guy at some point. Got rejected. Best thing that ever happened。 I didn't like him as much as you-know-who... but as much as rejection is painful, it enables you to move on.
To young people out there. Better confess than keep unresolved feelings to yourself. If you're a sentimental person like me... rejection is an instant but regrets are here to stay forever.
He will probably wait for 14 years. It's unfair to expect young Sol to fall for SJ when she has no history with…
Beg to differ here. In one of his POV when he first met Sol on the bridge and she was still in her wheelchair, he said to himself that Sol hadn't change. 34 year-old Sol is an older version of Sol but she is still the person he fell in love with. I think the screenwriter made it clear that Seon Jae loved her, no matter which version she was. The only difference is he never developed a relationship with young Sol initially because he was too shy to approach her. If it wasn't for old Sol, the two would have never developed a relationship, not because they weren't compatible, but simply because he'd never even give himself a chance.
I mean dude was living just across from her house, and she never noticed, how could he ever imagine he had a chance in the first place? I can totally get it. Same thing happened to me when I was in middle school. Had a huge crush on a guy I had known since primary school. Long story short, we went to the same school until my last year of middle school when I had to move because of my father's job. Even when I left, I didn't dare to confess. He was just too good looking and I felt I had no chance...
Turns out, I learned years later, in my early twenties... that the feelings were mutual. Took me up to my early thirties to get over it because I never had any closure... I call it crush but to be honest, I think I truly loved him. I have been attracted to other guys later but honestly, forgot them pretty quickly... but he was different. Never could hold a normal conversation with him. It just felt like my mind was a huge blank and the not-shy me who was most of the time pretty loud was never able to hold a conversation properly when he was there. In that respect, Seon Jae is way better. Anyway lack of confidence and shyness is the ultimate enemy of all teenagers.
Also Seon Jae could wait 14 years... Or simply try to befriend Sol after old Sol leaves. He is confident she's going to love him down the line so why waste 14 years of waiting? He doesn't need to force his feelings on her, but if Sol manages to change the past and there's no trauma in 2009, there's no reason for young Sol to avoid him.
But but…Eclipse won’t be the same without our vocalist Ryu Sun Jae 😕
Yeah... I want him to still become a singer... I mean he does know how to write good songs.... So... I'm just going to assume that the future changes as the past changes... So if Sol continues to change the past, the future will also change.
So... In order to avoid today's craziness I meticulously scheduled my week so that today would be my monthly grocery day... which means running around the whole day to do my groceries since I live in a busy city with lots of small shops and have no car.
Just came back, the preview's up.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
No stress, just complete bliss. I can patiently wait for viki release and have a very peaceful week this time :D
Guys look what I found. It’s a spoiler for ep 10. We can relax now🥹https://x.com/phoebebuffay06/status/1787488932961165494?s=46
Guessed he wasn't leaving... It was pretty obvious once they introduced the singing contest. I was thinking maybe In Hyuk is going to stop Seon Jae from leaving at the airport so that he can at least take part in the singing contest... but if he comes back for Im Sol... even better.
There wasn't lots of SeonSol moment in this episode so I'm hoping we get a bit more tomorrow and a LOT next week.
I for one, is not sad that there's only 3 weeks left. I'm really really tired not being able to focus on my Mondays and Tuesdays and finding each week excruciatingly long. All that wait and lurking there is tiring myself out... and my work ( I'm working at home) is suffering from it. It's really unhealthy. It's been a while I haven't regretted starting a show as it aired that much.
The faster this show finishes, the faster I can re-watch it all over again without any stress and in a more healthy manner.
My God I'm really confused about this preview... Seems Tae Sung also knows about what is going to happen to Seon Jae, he tells him that instead of worrying about him and Sol's relationship, he should take care of himself. Seon Jae knows that Sol comes from the future... WTF? And he asks Sol if all the times she came back to save him, she never ever had any feeling for him... To which she answers " No" ( YOU'RE BREAKING HIS AND MY HEART!!!!)
Anyway in order to reassure her, he says he's going to leave. Does it mean he's never going to become a singer?
