Nah Sun Jae will have plenty more opportunities to give ugly jewelry 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Though it is ugly it was the only thing he ever gave her. Also love that it was their shared initial. It was DEFINITELY 2009 level jewelry that an 18 year old would buy.
Okay I've been seeing a LOT of confusion around ep 13. In spoiler tag below. I hyper fixated so you don't have…
When Sun Jae is dying in the water it creates a new timewatch. By the time he is out of the water he has died thus "activating" it to be used by Im Sol. Sun Jae's soul has left his body, so only Sol would have traveled back. The watch takes the person to the time they think they need/want. In the OG timeline she mentions that Sun Jae went to the school next to hers and laments that she should have known him then and why wasn't she paying more attention to him. So when she wants to save him thinking that he took his own life because of being in the entertainment industry it takes her to before he becomes a trainee. When she's trying to go back again while in 2009 she thinks it's better if he had never met her at all so the watch takes her to before they met for the first time and he falls in love at first sight.
On Dec 7th 2023 Im Sol mentions having been back for a few seasons now and that she's still not fully adjusted to her life without him in it. That means she eventually came back to her time line like before on Jan 1, 2023.
When she is talking with Tae Sung he mentions her meddling in other people's business taking cigarettes and teaching kids a lesson. This means that they meet the same way they did in the first altered timeline. She still went after the kids smoking outside of the gym trying to protect Sun Jae. She was more discrete this time around while they were in high school.
Sun Jae having never met Sol wouldn't have written the song Sudden Shower nor would he have performed with Eclipse at the competition. He only sang with them to win a phone for Sol. He joined the band in the OG timeline as an outlet after Sol's accident/kidnapping...he knew she liked musicians and he needed to get his emotions out. AKA he's never scouted with Eclipse as a singer. Maybe In Hyuk is able to convince him in some other way, but I'm not sure he's anything but an actor in the newest updated present day.
Sun Jae would have remained focused on swimming and blown his shoulder either during the competition or practice...it was meant to happen no matter what. His father would have gotten him to that rehab. As he had no outside interests other than swimming Sun Jae would have gone.
Because he never met Sol outside of her house he never changes his bus routine to see her and watch her from afar. Even if Sol(young) would have fallen asleep on the bus she would have stopped father down the bus line NOT in the middle of Kim Young Soo's hunting ground.
If Sol(older) remembers that KYS didn't just kidnap her but is already a murderer she could still report the abandoned building from the OG timeline to Tae Sung's father. Even though she's the only one fully remembering all the timelines she is leaving an impression on people she had previously never interacted with in the OG timeline, aka Tae Sung, Detective Kim, Ryu Sun Jae.
Anyone else sad the necklace will have poofed out of existence? 😔 😔 Does he even like the hard candies anymore? My guy had so much of his life tied to simply falling in love at first sight...my heart can't take it. They(the writer/director) better give us all the damn healing in those final two episodes I swear this will be me 🤬
My take on ep 13 is that: when Sunjae died after having been stabbed and drowned, the wristwatch becomes a time…
If he never met Im Sol he would never write Sudden Shower or sing in the band(he only performed with the band to get her a new phone). He would have gone to L.A. to get the rehab that his father found for him. In Hyuk already knew Im Sol as a follower of Taesung. Im Sol mentions the cigarette take down with Tae Sung where he first encounters older Sol in ep 13. She would still be wanting to protect Sun Jae from the shadows without being seen by him.
It's because she traveled back to 2008 & undo their first meet up & most likely returned to 2009 (since she time…
she mentions being back a few seasons, she didn't spend 15 years in the past catching up. she traveled back to Jan 1 2023 and has spent a year(4 seasons) trying to adjust.
Everyone keeps mentioning Im Sol's 15 years of unrequited love. The only person dealing with 15 years of unrequited love now is Kim Tae Sung. Everyone else's past has changed. Im Sol is dealing with about a year plus of unrequited love(romantic love not fan-savior/idol love). Ryu Sun Jae has never met Sol so he just be vibing, maybe feeling a bit empty inside not knowing why. We shall see once we start getting new POVs from Sun Jae.
I just have one wish. They should wrap up the taxi driver’s plot by today’s episode. I want to see their families…
I'm hoping that because the character are adults that we get the wedding and babies a la 'Marry My Husband' and not the 'Twinkling Watermelon' treatment.
This writer really likes putting her 2MLs in situations where they have to take care of/carry their drunk crush as she cries over another man...like *video game voice* Double Kill...Triple Kill
The writer end up more human, the writing is a lil flawed with some plotholes like many had mentioned esp with…
Clearing up what is thought to be a plot hole but most likely isn't. The pressing of the watch has nothing to do with midnight itself so much as Sun Jae's time of death. In the OG timeline his time of death was zero hundred hours Jan 1 2023. That's why it needs to be midnight to travel back. Also her kidnapping/recue ends in the hospital close to midnight as he holds his broken watch and cries. (I'm about to double check the first episode again to see the exact time it flashes the first time) Okay just checked the watch first glows(that she sees) at what would have been the time of night as Sun Jae saving her from the water and fighting Kim Young Soo in the OG timeline. In the altered timeline his watch activates at the time of his new death(morning of May 7th). So the moment the watch flashes in the water is when Sun Jae dies(imo his emotions about Im Sol are being poured into the watch to power it). All she has to do is then press the watch and that will set when it can be activated...though she might not have it and could have been sent back to May 7th 2009 before finally getting back to 2023(the watch she wears on her wrist) because the watch that sends her to May 2008 is on Sun Jae's wrist. His soul is no longer in is body, so he isn't able to travel back only Im Sol. So she might only experience one extra time travel journey before coming back to present day instead of 3.
I finally got my mom to watch the show just in time to watch episode 13. I asked her if she had any questions she said no then proceeds to make it very clear she misunderstood/misread some things in episode 13. So I spent about an hour helping her clear up some confusion. I really hope this doesn't make the more casual watchers get frustrated and drop the show with only 3 episodes left. Come on writers I believe in you...untangle this web for viewers that aren't neurodivergent and hyper fixated on the show/ show's timelines.
People still thinking that there is another time traveler is wild to me. The amount of times she's messed with the timeline will most likely cause a sense of deja vu for Sun Jae(and potentially others), but he was not sent back in time with Im Sol as his soul was no longer in his body at the time she pressed the watch that was attached to his wrist. IMO his love, longing, and regret in being unable to save(OG timeline)/stay(altered timeline) with her, powers the watch. Her wanting him to have never met her is what brings her back to 2008 prior to his love at first sight moment.
It's 12 months(She's been back in "present day" for almost an entire year, plus how ever long she went back in time before Sun Jae sees her for the first time in late April/Early May of 2008. It's been roughly 2 years since the start of her time traveling journey to save Sun Jae. I'm thinking she at least stayed in 2008 until roughly June, but will either find out later or never how long she was there.
I'm going to have to rename "Important Dates to Remember" to "Full Timeline(s) and Episodes Breakdown" at this point. I'm going to hold off on adding dates in for episode 13 until I've seen episode 14. I want to get a better understanding of what to call the new time slip. But current time it is December 2023. Almost 2 years have passed for Im Sol since starting this journey.
