He was so “unlucky”. It wasn't his fault in the first place:
1. The motorcycle was speeding. 2. They were both on their right lanes. 3. Then the motorcycle swerved to the left and approached the car and got hit.
Analysis:
A. It's safe to assume that Korea has a law against reflective this and that which can blind other people. So, more likely than not there was no reason why the motorcycle swerved towards the incoming car.
He did not swerve because he was blinded as well.
B. Based on the scenes, the car drivr was blinded because the motorcycle swerved, and the reflection from the motorcycle or the rider's helmet, blinded the car driver. Which prevented him from reacting fast and early, or to even avoid the motorcycle that was suddenly on his lane.
C. I think what the rider tried to say to the car driver was, “I'm sorry”. (1) He knew it was his fault; and (2) he also knew what's going to happen next, regardless if he dies or not.
D. Since he was speeding, and he suddenly swerved to the opposite lane, one possible explanation was that he accidentally hit a rock which could've led to him losing control. If he wasn't speeding, he would've have been able to keep control or the motorcycle simply rolled over the rock; especially since his tires should be able to handle it (it's thick, not slim-type).
Another possible scenario, he simply lost control.
Yet another scenario, the motorcycle was defective.

Which brings us back to the car driver. He got unlucky.
Of course, he also did a mistake, he should've called it in.
Sure, he was shocked. Having an asthma attack. A kid who just visited his mom, which no doubt devastated him and thus he's emotionally “unstable” or “challenged” at that time he was driving. Which all led to him not knowing what to do.
However, he already initiated the call. He should've at least finished it after recovering from his asthma attack. After that call, he can run if he wants.
Save a person's life first.
BUT, then again, if he did what he should do, there won't be a story to tell in the first place. LOL.
This drama is a true masterpiece. Although the first half of EP 2 was a bit slow, it was crucial for setting up the plot. ML finds himself trapping in his own plan, with Lee Sang taek ruining all his carefully laid plan. While ML tries to pin the blame on Lee Sang taek, but Kim Kang heon is aware that the car's driver has asthma which means the truth is bound to come out soon. Ho Yeong's asthma will play a big role in uncovering the truth.
The second half was incredibly intense. The reaction of the mafia family to their beloved son's death was genuinely terrifying. The mother's furious anger, the brother's bloodthirsty desire for revenge and the sister's emotional breakdown, contrasted with the father's dont know how to react to situation, all showed just how far these characters will go to punish the culprit behind the accident. The acting by the sister and mother in their respective scenes was exceptional.
The last scene really blew my mind. It sent chills down my spine, from ML's guilt over the grandmother and granddaughter to his shocked reaction to the sudden explosion. This scene was masterfully executed and gave me goosebumps all over my body.
Just jumping on to say: 1. This is so cute. I'm on episode 6 and I'm really enjoying how low stakes, sweet, and fluffy this is. If you're looking for a fun and sweet rom com with a straightforward story and chemistry between the actors, this checks that box. 2. In addition, there's something about Chae Jong Hyeop's performance that is both adorable but also super sexy, and that takes the drama up to a new level. I've never gotten butterflies in my stomach when a character merely smiles. His smiles are making me feel things. 3. Kim So Hyun is just a delight to watch. She's one of those actresses who makes every scene feel effortless. She comes across as "a girl's girl" in this one and I love her character. She's straightforward, honest, kind, and intelligent. Love her. 4. Also a big bonus: everything the characters do makes sense. At no point have I yelled at my screen or turned it off in frustration. 5. The SML and SFL's story was sorta boring at first, but it's (eventually) cute and now growing on me (as of ep 6).
In summary, so far, if you're looking for a fun show to keep you engaged with low stakes where romance is the central story, highly recommend this one (... so far.)
Not sure why the virgin topic came out, but at least twice he said he realized his feelings and that he missed HJ1 when he came back to Korea. That means that for 10 years he had no idea what those feelings were which means nothing would stop him from dating. Most likely not as many as his mom implied, but there were a few. Just like HJ1 had no idea that 10 years ago she had also fallen for HY, but was still able to love and have a relationship with JH. They probably loved their partner but were not IN love with them. Loving someone and actually being in love are very different.
Previews are misleading so I don't believe anything bad will happen in the last episode.
I think this drama would have been better if it were more like Soundtrack #1, without major conflicts like the toxic mom or ex. The drama is too short to properly deal with those issues. If it had 16 episodes, they might have had time for that, but right now, the scenes with the mom and ex just seem unnecessary. They’re only there to create tension and make the leads come together in the last 5-10 minutes of the show.
I must say fortpeat give some of the best hurt/comfort chemistry I've ever seen. Every time they hug/cuddle/press their foreheads together and smile I feel healed :')
Sure, the story hits all the classic rom-com notes—boy meets boy, boy pushes boy away, boy has a lightbulb moment and chases boy to a picturesque island via a dramatic boat ride. But let’s face it, we eat this stuff up! Because underneath all the familiar beats, Tongrak and Mahasamut’s journey is about something deeper—finding the courage to stop running from love and start embracing it, boat rides and all. And honestly, if Tongrak can go from emotionally adrift to anchoring his heart in love, there’s hope for the rest of us, too.
The last episode is all about what it means to let go of your baggage, hop on that metaphorical (and literal) boat, and risk it all for the chance at something real. Tongrak and Mahasamut’s story? It’s a reminder that love is as much about the journey as it is about the destination—and sometimes, the most scenic routes are the ones we almost miss.
Overall, this show is good. There was so much negativity surrounding it that I withdrew from these BL spaces to just enjoy the show.
I think this is Mame's best work yet. I related to Rak so deeply that it was hard for me sometimes to watch because I felt bare and exposed. For some people, Rak's reaction this last episode might have been too dramatic but I understand him perfectly. I also understand Mut who have tried to love and be patient with Rak all this time.
To Rak, "The walls we build around us keep us trapped. A prison of our own making".
He got scared last minute when Mut confused his love because everything suddenly felt so real. He was suddenly bare and vulnerable and he made a last ditch effort to hide away from his own feelings and from Mut as a way to protect himself but alas! It's too late. He's all in already. His actions of self preservation hurt Mut.
I am impressed with Mut because not many would love and want to be that patient or would want someone with so much baggage. He's the kind of man I once dreamt of but reality is different.
Thank you Mame for giving me a show I can finally relate with. Thank you for reminding me that love is possible for all.
Today's thoughts: - Whale boat has a landing pad and MZT came flying in like a CEO boss 😂 - "Is he addicted to hitting me?"... I will miss his dynamic with DLH man now that he's retiring. My fave "friendemies" after Yin/SL. - That hot pot scene was supposed to be a happy reunion but there was an underlying sadness because Yin is Yin and JY is JY 😥. I will now consider Yin as his own personality and not JY2.0. He deserves his special attention. - I have a feeling the scene when Yin asked how NY can drink such bad tasting tea was a ZLH improv 😂 - I love it whenever ZLH plays the fox disguised as JY/Yin. It's so fun to watch how his demeanor changes according to YY's behavior 😆 - The unwavering trust NY has in Yin that he isn't the killer no matter what the evidence might suggests and how she was affected. This is the kind of two-way rush romance I want to watch where both sides give and not just one takes while the other is the only one giving. What a contrast from the other drama. My heart is healed, thank you Love's Rebellion 💙
P.S. The power couple vibe they were giving from sitting in that room interrogating that girl to their dismissal of DHL man 👫🏻
MZT the best boi!! His face when he realized that Ji Yang didn’t remember any of them! He didn’t even care that Ji Yang is a demon!!! I love his character! So sincere!! His love for poems and his friends is so pure. 🥹🥹🥹

Jin: "I want to know, what kind of person made you, Blood-handed Asura, love him so deeply. Nan Ya: "He and I lived and died together. We got through thick and thin together. He was my destined one in this life.
The main problem with this love story is that the drama didn't make Nan Ya's feelings believable. Although the show depicted the leads as two friends who genuinely cared for each other, I never felt that their love was developed or deep enough to explain Nan Ya's longing for Ji Yan. This is a classic example of a show telling us something instead of showing us.
