What in the John Travolta looking...https://kisskh.at/photos/QJBXJ5_3 please tell me someone else sees the resemblance.

I just figure that episode hasn't aired yet.

I think only one or two kisses so far in episode 13/14. I'm not 100% but either one hasn't happened(that i've seen...only just started episode 26) or they cut at least one kiss, based off of set photos.

I don't like this moving someone 2 hours away from their spouse instead of just changing teams. My parents worked for the government in the same building(same branch of government) but were never on the same work team. It was actually common to have spouses working in different divisions of the same department.
Also why would marriage make a situation worse? The fact they don't have a proper functioning HR department is the problem with this bank. Disclosing personal relationships is normally the way things are done so that spouses aren't put in a superior/subordinate situation to begin with.

Green leaf falling on ML's head at the end of episode 3 had me cackling. Green leaf=green hat...aka being cheated on....cuckhold.
I'm going to need someone more aware of Chinese cultural references to break down episodes so I don't miss anything else. Cause that was cute and clever and I feel like I might be missing out on a lot more references/winks because I don't speak/understand Mandarin.

What Sachapz said was confirmed by the writer. She didn't want the audience to feel like Im Sol's mission to save Sun Jae early on was futile because it was never depression in the first place.
The pills/drinks made it easier for KYS to attack and chloroform him the first time. It was deliberately staged and directed exactly the same to parallel the first death for the audience to infer that it was KYS both times that killed Sun Jae.

If you filter the reviews to most helpful or most recent you will see that most actually enjoyed the drama. The ones listed on the the front page are the people who review pretty much everything so this might not actually be their preferred genera.
There are many who got hung up on the mystery/crime aspect which is just a catalyst for their love story not the main point of the show.
I've read a lot of the reviews and most either missed the point or didn't understand something and nit picked it to death. The only ones I will say are valid are the ones who aren't giving just 1 star because they didn't really vibe with the show.

I love that people watching a 16 episode show always complain about the "filler" after episode 10. (This is because there has been a kiss or relationship development and the viewers want a wham bam thank you ma'am kind of escalation after, which rarely if ever occurs) There was some "filler" but not as much as other shows of the same length. I think a lot of people have gotten used to Netflix length shows and have forgotten or just have never seen OG Kdramas or Cdramas before. All I can say to some of these people is never watch a Cdrama if a 16 episode show is "too much" for you.

filtering them to most recent or most helpful & it will show that the majority are positive 10 out of 10. it's the ones who review A LOT that are showing in the first few pages.

https://kisskh.at/discussions/time-walking-on-memory/124879-important-dates-to-remember this is the episode breakdown, there are some asides within the main body & discussion within the comment section. there are links to other discussions & links to music mentioned or videos mentioned.

Quote from the writer:
"Sun Jae's first death was not a suicide. The script originally contained scenes portraying the autopsy and police inquiry, which were ultimately omitted from the broadcast.
I believe that if all of those scenes had been aired, it would have made it too obvious that it was murder. This could have led to viewer frustration as the witnessed Sol Repeatedly going back to the past, under the mistaken belief that Sunjae had taken his own life.
The beginning of episode 9 solves the mystery. Wearing the same outfit as in episode 1, Sunjae stands on the terrace of his hotel suite and gets into a fight with Youngsoo, who has stolen the master key and broken into the room. The only difference is whether Sunjae has drunk alcohol and taken depression medication.
I deliberately recreated the identical situation and used identical directing to enable viewers to deduce what happened in episode 1. Later, Sol says, "Sunjae died because of me," and I believed this line would further clarify the situation.
I saw a comment suggesting that Sunjae was unable to resist in episode 1 due to medication intake, whereas in episode 8, he was able to fight back because he had not taken his medication. Yes! That's right! That's the answer!"


This was my own personally theory after seeing the chloroformed cloth in episode 9's flashback to the hotel altercation. I had gotten into many heated debates on this site and in instagram reel comment sections because people kept saying it was suicide when it wasn't and it was making me feel a certain kind of way that people weren't paying attention to the actual direction of the show.
There are a lot of things the writer and the director didn't spoon feed the audience. The fact that Sol stayed close to Taesung in the final timeline because she wanted to protect Sunjae. She got close to Taesung's father and told him about Youngsoo BEFORE he was able to murder his first victim. She wrote a letter to herself to explain things to her past self & would have gone back to the past two more times and stayed away, but because this story was about Sunjae and Sol's love for one another and not really about the time slipping, showing those scenes of Sol continuing to avoid Sunjae would have been too repetitive and slowed down they're reunion in present day.

Sunjae and Sol were both selfless when it came to protecting/saving the other. He dove into that reservoir to save Sol with a very freshly healed shoulder with no thought to his own safety. She after seeing news of his death Sol would have done anything to save the person that saved her life(from suicide on the day of the solar eclipse). Those thoughts plus the water are the triggers to making the watch work the first times.

Also Blue=Water=SunJae; Yellow=Sunshine/Happiness=Sol

Their press tour for The Princess Royal really clinched the need for them in a modern show together. The chemistry was chemistrying. We deserve this after putting up with the sickly Victorian Wormtongue of a 2ML getting the ML's scenes in TPR. (if you know you know)

Saw a papped kiss scene in a car and...holy hell I will be shocked as all hell if that kiss makes it past the censorship board. I needed a minute to stop giggling.

Hey, so glad to see you're still checking the page!
Summer is my busy season at work so although I been watching a lot of things I haven't really been actively commenting on shows as much as I normally would. I also needed to protect my mental health and happiness and the comment section was becoming a battle ground of drama that I, as a 34 year old woman, just do not have time for.
But all of my pre-ordered Lovely Runner things have started to come in so I was doing a check-in of the comment section. Photo Essay, Script books etc...merch is in transit at the moment. The script will be poured over once I have more time to sit and read it. Google Lens coming in clutch. I know some Hangul, but reading long bits is extremely difficult for me.

A part of me wants to rewatch it on Netflix to see how they translated it. Because Netflix is notorious for mistranslating or leaving out important context. aka they wont indicate formal in informal speech. and other things. Cause if we have murky translations it leads to murky understanding of the overall story.

Glad to still see you in the comments of this one. I took a pause because of all the negative people coming in...they didn't have to watch the show if they hated it that much tbh. So I just quietly waited for my scripts to arrive and oh boy oh boy... the validation I feel after reading the Q&A from the writer is so huge. The show was truly made for the millennial girlies.

I just needed to come on here & say I finally got my copies of the scripts with the Q&A from the writer & my theories were all right and I couldn't be more freaking pleased. literally running to a family memeber who also watched the show & reading the responses out loud in victory.

the trolls came out after the drama ended because they didn't like that it had a high rating. go into the discussions or if your up to it keep scrolling until you hit the as it was airing comments. I never ended up writing an in-depth review as I had pretty much written multiple essays and thesis on the show. it is extremely worth it if you like kdramas. if you ever get lost I broke down a complete timeline with some details as to the references made in the past timelines. at the very least watch the first 2 episodes and decide from there whether to continue.

she simply was in his hunting/dumping ground at the wrong moment. then she became a witness. the motive never mattered as Kim Young Soo never really mattered. he was just a catalyst for the love story of Sun Jae & Sol. they chose to save the life of someone else even at the risk of their own life. this is a romance, not a murder mystery. the victims are who are important when a crime is committed..."the killer is just a social misfit & loser, not a monster to be afraid of."

So I just finished. I was taking my time with the last three episodes because I just didn't want the story to end. It was so good and they kept up the cinematography and overall vibe throughout the show which is impressive. I do wonder if they will be producing a season 2 with the same cast in the future. Small spoiler....it's very open ended and there are many stories that have no conclusion. I don't know how long sequels usually take, but with the production team and half of this cast working on a different project together I figure it will be some time before they start for a season 2. With the lead actors being as booked and busy as they are, is there actually any hope that they will come back to finish out their characters' stories?
