I really love episode 13 (starting from the cliff scene) and 14 because it's where things has finally reached its climax. Even better because the delivery of it (from the story line, directing, characters and acting) just flowed smoothly. By the time I finished, I was devastated like I'm in the body of Sol. She'd gone through so much you understood what she's feeling.

Absolutely! Just like the one time she came back to 2023, being an extra to a show, she had no idea that the Sol she'd come back to actually achieved her dream job. While Sunjae may be an actor, it's actually not hard for her to ignore him so long as he doesn't work onto something she made. She also can't just give up the job the the Sol in that reset timeline worked hard on; it's simply that she's avoiding SJ persistence at all cost does she finally called it quits.

Ended up shedding a tear while reading this. 🥲

When knetz said that you must have a profound understanding about selfless love and survivor's guilt to be immersed with the love story of Sunjae and Sol, they meant it. That's why they get praises for it. They checked all the boxes: moved people to tears and felt justified about how things happened as they are. To them, it was a masterpiece. No random stranger would be able to take that away from Lovely Runner.

There's a certain demographic on those that are saying that the show is going downhill. If you know who they are, you know. LMFAO.

It's their sealed fate. If she leaves with them, the taxi driver would just follow. She only had three days before she comes back, too, so why would she wait for the day to arrive, then have 2009 Sol take over her body and Sunjae save her again— only to die in 2023.

As long as she's with Sunjae, he will always end up dying. It's their destiny. No amount of outside help can help avoid that twisted fate of theirs.

Honestly, the writer already said to look at the clues about what happened with the new timeline. Her hair, how she and Taesung became friends still, the injury on Sunjae shoulder and how her moving away from that place would not allow her to finally meet the killer. I guess that one passed over anyone's head.

Sol: SHIREOYO! ANDWAEYO!

He did not commit s*icide. He never had. I don't know if you moved past to watching the show with surface level understanding but it is this: it's fate.

If Sunjae falls in love with Sol, Sol will always get targeted by the taxi driver. She will always get kidnapped and Sunjae will always die in his hands.

OG timeline Sunjae was the Sunjae that saved OG Sol in episode 7. When he immobilized the taxi driver, his fate of being killed by the man is fixed. That is why Sol had to always come back to the past to avoid this scenario. However, it wasn't until her last timeslip (to 2009) did she understand that him being so close would always be his demise. Which is why she HAD to get rid of herself in his memories.

This is trial and error.

Someone said that the reason Sol made that script was because it was her only gateway in processing her grief . No one else but her knows what happened between those three timelines. No one understood what she went through just to keep him alive. It was just her brain and her heart and her need to let things out.

I just want to point out how fucking devasted I was during the scene where Sol moved out of their house so she could avoid Sunjae as much as possible.

Seeing the truck moving on a different direction and him being completely clueless about how the distance with the love of his life is becoming wider as he walks away— followed by all the things he had of Sol vanishing one by one... I felt gutted. It made 20 year old Sunjae from the 3rd timeline's death final. It felt like I was sending him away for the last time. I was in shambles.

Then, at the amusement park scene: seeing 35 year old Sunjae watch his 20 year old version running towards Sol with the biggest smile on his face. It really hurt so bad. I can't even process my feelings for it. It was too good but too painful.

Watch it on kisskh!

Everyone wondering why Sunjae became an actor? If you look at episode 11, Sunjae talked about making it big somehow to payback his father's efforts of raising him up. He doesn't know how (all the while knowing thT he'd be part of Eclipse) but it was always his destiny to be a popular superstar in all the timelines they're in, sans the last timeslip where he actually died. This was a callback.

Oh, right! There was some type of kinship that he can't seem to explain! Her grandma also is a huge mystery that we have yet unraveled. I'm sure she'd also help Sunjae recall the timelines he and Sol shared together.

And no, I'm a firm believer that Sunjae didn't time travel. He was long dead (RIP) when Sol clicked the watch. He really has no clue of who she is, but his heart and soul remembers his first love.

I also do wonder which part of the script made Sunjae recall memories that he didn't get to experience in his current timeline, based from the summary for tonight's episode.

Was it the familiar lyrics of Sonagi that Sol added in the script? Was it a reiteration of a boy falling in love with a girl who carries a yellow umbrella while it rains? Was it the first kiss? Or the first 'I like you'?

These questions makes my heart thump. I really like this kind of trope.

She travelled back to make sure Hyunju still gets to meet her kids. Sol probably helped them with their relationship by being supportive instead.

To be honest, I got annoyed with Sunjae for the first half of the episode. He was able to connect dots of what Sol was doing, but can't seem to understand that she knows what she's doing. Half of the episode, I wanted him to chill out. I hoped he contacted Taesung to get a gist of what was going on because Taesung is the only other person who understood what was going on. But no. He had to rush. Had to dive in head first. Had he not contacted the Danpori police, he wouldn't have scared Youngsoo away. They wouldn't have to meet. There wouldn't be a death.

Sol was almost there. She was braving it through... but...

Just rewatched the preview and saw something familiar:

While Sol didn't get to meet the taxi driver due to Sunjae's non - interference, we finally got a certain plot point getting recalled.

In the scene where Youngsoo's keys show up, there was someone else he bumped into. Familiar clothes, and a familiar camera. This time, his target will be the stalker in Episode 8. The 14 year old middle schooler. Since Sol met her by chance, they could end up crossing path again. What if another mistaken identity ensues? The jacket became a huge part of episode 7-8. What if Sol wears it by accident and got targeted instead? He always appears after Soljae ends up meeting after all. 🤔

Also, I'm not sure if I was hallucinating it but wasn't there a brief clip on the drama trailer before the official broadcast where we see Sunjae listening to a recording on his MP3 followed by a scene of him crying? I swore it wasn't a fever dream. Or was that an fake edit for Lovely Runner? Can someone verify it for me?.
