1. Sun Jae of 2023 knew who she was when he stops to check on her, but Im Sol does not recognise him. (his first love 💗 they better end up together and happy)
2. In fact he has known her since his debut - looks like he purposely dialed her number to check on her
3. She had blamed him for saving her and making her wheelchair bound. As per his friend, it made him feel sorry - but did it make him guilty enough to take his life?
4. Looks like there was indeed some foul play - the bell rang and he did turn.
5. Why does his manager seem suspicious too me? A little shifty basis the latest episode
6. SML story also does not seem rosy - maybe Im Sol holds Sun Jae guilty cause he saved her but could not save SML - something like that?
7. With the now new changes that Im Sol has done in past - will Sun Jae become a musician? I think he will...again in competitive spirit against SML. Maybe this is what will piss off his friend?
8. Will Im Sol's friend and brother get together? The hints are all there
9. We now know the place of the accident - that bridge as well as the culprit is the taxi driver with that red keychain (Norigae). But who is he and why did he do it? Was it simply a hit and run case?
10. Seems like the bully girls will be back.
11. Kind of glad they dont give 19 year old Im Sol much screen time, honestly would have been very frustrating. But then it will create so much misunderstanding again and at a crucial point - when she switches back again.
12. How does Im Sol grandmother - lose her memory, is that also related to any accident?
13. Im Sol keeps hurting her knees/legs a lot - Premonition?
14. What is happening to Im Sol 2023 when she is time travelling. Guessing no time passes in that timeline, since when she came back she was in the same spot.
15. Because - I am curious what will she tell the police who came to question her?

Just finished Ep 4 - what a roller coaster! Loving that the rating has reached 9.
Really hope it maintains the steady growth by keeping the story engaging till the end.

Hypothesizing - in comments below. Those who have seen the episode, share your thoughts!

Guess we have our answer - it Sun Jae who saved her.
And she blamed him for her wheelchair bound life.
He apparently was sorry and guilty about it - but not sure if it made him take his own life.

Im Sol keeps falling a lot and hurts her legs (like cut on knees etc)
Premonition - Fate's sarcasm?

Saw the episode 12 today.
Heartbreaking - but I can already sense, he's created some dent in the plan of those plotting evil.

Thanks for sharing - it is indeed beautiful.
But I think you might have to add your comment under spoiler tag - so as to not spoil it for others , hehe!

Could be - am yet to finish Twinkling Watermelon (but for some reason was it not the band name? you can tell me i don't mind spoilers)

That would be very fitting and amazing ending - if the title meaning is revealed towards the end.

The Best of Tomorrow - sounds like a better title. Well going by how the drama is progressing so far.

Running after him, in the past - seems like the viable logic. And lovely, cause he likes her and she does too - as in lovebirds. Running and Chasing to make changes in the past - to make the present/future right ?

And yes, could be something that is yet to be known - which might explain the title.
That would be great - I personally love such revelations/plot twists etc. which makes it all fit why the title was such all along.

That is an interesting line of thought and I love it.
Like she did not choose running as a career - like an athlete, you mean?
But now will have the possibility? Ooooohh me likey!

Omg - so while I have been trying to get into C-dramas since a long time, it has not been so easy. But the one that I have seen is a masterpiece and is one of my Top 10 across all dramas globally - RESET. It in fact deals with time travel/time slip.

Seeing your comment - thank goodness that was not the case there, else I swear I would have had trust issues and never watched C-dramas ever again. 😂😂😂

I was reading it as the swimming scenes are so yummy! #iykyk
The pool blues was driving away my Monday blues - ofc, shirtless BWS was the major factor there 😉

Sorry for the perverted comment - but then it is not me who is the guilty one, it is BWS's fault for looking that fine!

Extraordinary You:
Eun Dan Oh can act as per her will, only when the she is in the "shadow" and waits for the scene to change right? Otherwise everything happens as per the author's will - but she still is able to bring about some changes and finally have a somewhat happy ending with Haru.

Lovely Runner:
Adult Im Sol has to save her idol, Ryu Seon Jae - but can only do it when she is allowed to time travel (yet to know how that is happening). Otherwise whatever she does, will be ruined or nullified by her actual self of 2008.

Kind of similar - that Eun Dan Oh also had to act out her character against her wishes, same like adult Im Sol. There is was the author - here we don't know but some supernatural power that is controlling her fate here too, as well as the one she loves - Haru/RSJ.

PS. KHY is one lucky woman - tall handsome guys falling for in multiple universes - in both dramas 😅 She's talented and lovely so deserving! And the fangirling moments are also common! Amongst other things ...

So - an interesting parallel between Extraordinary You and Lovely Runner
(both has the FL common, amongst some other things)

I know I myself have said we should not be comparing - but I am only human.
And I will have to let it out - else it will blast my mind. Hence adding it under spoiler in first comment - and read it only if you have seen/seeing these 2 dramas.

Why is it called "Lovely Runner"?

Okay - I have been writing a lot of comments and gushing over this drama. But I just realized this question. LOL. Weird - but now am curious - so any guesses?

> Like he is swimming and singing - there is no running. Well not so far.
> Is it running - cause she running between timelines? But then why is it lovely?
> Or is it something else - and literal translation has ruined it?

Just seems like the title has any relation to what is going on. YET.

I love your detailing and observation! Seeing your comment, I went back and checked the dates. I was believing it to be June for some reason - but now I know it is July.

So the accident is not far away but we still have some time. I guess this is why we have 16 episodes - we are going to go back and forth a lot, and hence the fast pace makes sense.

After all time is ticking, maybe this will create that sense of urgency and panic - to make changes in past to save the future/present.

And yes, we have barely scratched the surface. Remember - I had shared an earlier comment where I was thinking this is more of suicide only - but looks like it can be a murder - and there are too many suspects, or some left to uncover.

This better be narrated well, by the drama makers - because we have a lot of ingredients but they need to dish it out well.

given the last episode 3 revelation, timeline switching back and forth

Teen/Shy FL (actual 2008 one) - she likes the SML, but now ML does not know she is original FL so he also going to try and win her over. So she is going to be torn between the two men for sure. Plus the bullying girls are not going to be helpful for her to keep liking SML - and am sure on many instances ML is going to save her - so she is going to gradually gravitate towards him.

Adult/Time-travelling FL - she already loves ML, but when she is time travelling she wants to save him rather than confess her love. Also she is completely unaware of the fact that ML has liked her since a long time. She just wants to help him, so will also not reveal her true feelings.

So in both the cases - while we had an amaZING and unbelieBUBBLE KISS in EP 3 itself (I was so surprised) - it is going to take time for our love birds to come together, irrespective of which timeline

I still have a strong feeling that the person in her flashback is ML and not SML who saves her.

But yes looks like the bully girls did something to her - and then she ran from there and both SML and ML came to save her

Somehow something does not bode well for the SML - from every angle.
Either he got hurt/killed saving the FL or he got suspended/expelled cause he might have taken the blame of bullying on himself.

Cause if it is any of the cases - for the SML, the baddie gals could also have a hand in the now what seems like a murder of the ML in present time. OR maybe they are bad fans who drove him to take his own life.

either ways - we have to wait and watch, cause there is definitely more than that meets the eye.

Haha, I think we dramafans have seen so many dramas that when we see common elements we cannot help but make the connections.

It is good - but I guess challenging for the writers and makers to bring something new to the table everytime.

Comparison remaining, yes I hope this drama does well in its own right!

oh - your comment is making me itch to say something that is the reason I love K-dramas.

So all my life - the dramas that I have seen and in general, men do not cry. Or rather show emotions other than masculine/action/macho energy. I think many will agree.
The saying also goes "Men don't cry" right?

This is why - when I watched my first K-drama (technically) - it was Boys Over Flowers. And the way Lee Min Ho - goes from seething anger to tears in nanoseconds, was like a discovery for me and it moved something inside of me. Then again later in the same drama - he is laughing and crying at the same time. Not psycho but immense sadness/helpless kind.

While these are extreme sides - there are numerous other actors (men I mean), who easily evoke countless feelings/words just through their eyes. I deliberately said men - cause women from long time are known to be the more expressive gender.

That truly made me realise in the power of acting through the eyes.
I am seeing Kim Soo Hyun for the first time in Queen of Tears - but I know what you mean.

There are many others - but yes, I have seen BWS do it remarkably well in Strong Girl Namsoon - and that drama is utter garbage, but BWS and his role - should be marked in history for the delivery on expressions among other things.

The man is talented beyond words - and like I said - I love the whole physical beauty he brings in, but the talent needs more praise, opportunities to shine and people to talk about - so loving that this drama, and many more in future will help him!

Sorry for the long post - just another fangirl, who got carried away like Im Sol 😎

Tae Sung probably is going to love the duality. As teen shy self he is going to protect her from the bully girls, while loving the attention he will get in the face of the ML, RSJ (cause teen ImSol is going to ignore ML). The adult self is going to spunky, and he will love/get confused/fall more in love cause of the confusion on this.

ML, RSJ - is going to be equally frustrated at this duality and maybe have some trust issues? But then he has loved her for so long, so will try to win her no matter what. Plus the thought that his friend has put - FL likes him as a fan not love interest, might make him try harder.

Also, it is going to be so hard on the FL as well. She wants to try but then fate is testing her in so many ways.

Truly - have not read the webtoon, but so eager to know how they are going to play it out. At this point - it can go either way, so the writers and directors need to really play their cards/art right - cause our actors/actresses are already bringing their A game.
