Ahead

Both ML & FL characters turned 180 degree at the last two episodes. They could just pause their relationship just like before and met up again. Break up and never meet again just cos they are busy doesn't make sense.
Does a champion need to marry at young age while still can't get over her ex?
How did the other guy accepted? Why would you marry a woman that don't even like you wholeheartedly?

Thanks for the beginning author. For the mid part, I love how brave FL confessed her love but ML is just enjoying and laughing at it. Stop being pathetic ML. It's not like you can let her go wholeheartedly just for her better life. Stop pretending! For the ending, I will just end it as I like. I am out.

Don't get me wrong. I still love this drama up to ep 14. Their 2022 version, is not needed at all.

Only the Main couple doesn't get together? Are you serious?

Ep 1
6:46 minutes - July 1998.
FL: 18 at 1998. 21 at 2001.
ML: 22 at 1998. 25 at 2001.
EP 4
45:53 – FL’s mum said, ‘I met him last month.’ 2022.
EP 7
1:07 – ‘It’s from Dad.’ He is most likely in the US. The only one who travels in this drama is ML.
EP 8
2:18 – ‘Your mum couldn’t get what a 15-year-old you can understand.’
EP 14
1:59 – 10/07/2009. ML & FL talked on the news after the San Francisco match.
1:16:32 – congratulation on your wedding. Congratulating himself?
EP 16
41:21 – Got Package from Kim Eun-Su. So, ML got an idea & changed the name to Kim?
52:33 - 7 years later. 2001-2008. The year ML became a new anchor.
53:24 – Ten years? 1998-2008? Doesn’t matter.
57:01 – FL thinking of retiring after coming back from San Francisco which will be held in 2009.
At 2009, FL 29; ML 33; his bro at 26.
01:01:21 - Breaking an engagement is less complicated than getting a divorce.
1:01:31 – since it’s coming from a married person? They don’t ask about her husband at all which means only FL and ML knew that they are married.
1:09:56 – ML said, ‘she doesn’t like to ask about her personal life.’ To keep his identity.
1:28:37 - 2022-15 = 2007. (Their daughter's age is 15 too.) He was in Korea cos his senior was there. That’s why she only got 3 gold medals cos she got pregnant. They probably got married in 2006.
FL & ML are both celebrities so they gave Kim as a family name to let their daughter live a normal life.
---
Okay; there is no valid reason why Kim Min Chae doesn’t know who Baek Yi Jin so I will change that she knows Baek Yi Jin as her Dad and FL’s friends know who her husband is. Done. End of the story. (This crazy theory is for me.)
Another theory would be, that FL got divorced long ago and waiting for ML to retire as an anchor. At 2022, FL would be 42 & ML 46. They still support each other from a distance to be reunited one day. (This seems more realistic for pessimists but not for me.)
=================================================
FL & ML loved each other the most in this drama and didn’t get together while their friends did?
Doesn’t make sense to me. Go Yu Rim’s nationality is Russia but she could come back and live in South Korea and get back together with her first love! Okay.
FL & ML, they are first love to each other too but not possible for them?
Ji Seung Wan and Baek Yi Hyun even get together after 9 years with no contact! Okay, writer, you must have hated reporters cos you separate FL & ML just because of their careers. I thought a doctor's job is already terrible but you just showed me that a reporter's job is worse. He could have retired and taken other jobs. He could become MC at anything.

(FL's diary keeping a diary just cos they ended their relationship on good terms? This doesn't make sense to me.)
Why do they still love each other if they decided to let go? This will only make them suffer. Think about how their partners would feel. They got married but their partner is longing for their ex. This will only make all four of them to suffer.

Thanks for the beginning. For the mid part, I love how brave FL confessed her love but ML is just enjoying and laughing at it. Stop being pathetic ML. It's not like you can let her go wholeheartedly just for her better life. Stop pretending! For the ending, I will just end it as I like. I am out.

Realistic? My ass.
They could have achieved their goal first and met up again. FL retired after 8 years anyway.
This is my opinion. I am not trying to persuade anyone. You believe what you want. Don’t say, "you don’t understand enough to know that this is “realistic”. Blahblahblah."
Just stick to your opinion instead of saying, "You are wrong & immature. You are not thinking it straight."
You are the one who is immature as you can't take the opposite/different opinions.

What do you mean by "'it is' something of the Korean culture....one would have to know the 'context' to understand better."
What is 'it' meant for? Career? Diary? They will still love their ex even if their future husband doesn't agree.
Something is really wrong. That's not how human lives. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Do I really need to understand the 'context' to understand human love? Yeah. Right. 🙄

MD didn't go blind the first time she opened the door. She didn't know how the door opened. Maybe, opening the door require little divine energy. That's why JBY helped So-i IMO.
I am talking about JBY who knew So-i though.

Only the Main couple doesn't get together? Are you serious?
FL keeping a diary just cos they ended their relationship on a good term.
How is her future love going to feel about that?
Why do they still love each other even after a long time if they decided to let go?

XD XD XD
I made up a crazy theory to make sure that JBY was the one who opened it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (●'◡'●)

The show still hasn't given any hint of JBY's intention. Hopefully, it will reveal soon cos Uk said that even after JHG knew that So-i was her fake daughter, Jin Mu got something to blackmail JHG. (It was said in the ep's 16 credit scene.)

Yeah. I think Jin family lied about one thing to the whole world. Only Jin's family female soul can open the door cos the divine power only pass down to the female.

How was So-i able to open Jinyowon's door?
My guess is that JBY(MD) opened it cos JBY knew So-i and she was foolishly kind to So-i. So, she helped her friend.
Are they really friends? Seriously? (¬_¬ )

Glad that you have that mindset. :D

But Yul doesn't have the courage to get ice stone to save FL. He is not open with FL. He is only doing things that he thinks are the best for FL. This is like one-way communication. He will not know what FL wants cos he is not open with her. I like open and brave guy but not a forceful one though.

@Aramintai - Chill yo.
What if @AniMangaSensei afraid to comment anymore. XD 😂

The video forgot one of GYJ's scenes. When MD imagined killing Uk while he was taking a bath.

AW! What did I see? 8.9 Rating! 😱😱😱

"it took Bu-yeon's power (I later noticed that the door opened when Mu-deok brought her hand up to her eyes - almost like the "wave" that Mama Jin and Cho-yeon did previously in order to open the door. )"
Nice. Good Point. 💡

I will re-write it. I just found out that my writing is quite confusing. 😅

True. The sorcery was still involved but I would separate, "making a baby" and "giving birth on that day" as different things.
For you, you combined them as one.
We just have a different opinion and it's okay.

Yea. I know that feeling. No pressure.

😂 I still haven't watched EAW yet so I don't know.
But I want AoS to be top rn. XD
