Hope you have fun :)

The FL doesn't really stay too long in the present day (original Timeline) to really deep dive into Sunjae's depression but we do catch brief snippets of it through a news segment on their speculations on what caused his depression.

I'm not sure if that scene would be triggering to you but if it helps, the drama covers points on how kpop idols help their fans during dark times as a beacon of hope and how some fans will protect their idols too. :)

Like Hannaehh explained, when you keep watching the episodes, it becomes clear that it was never suicide (the drama is mainly in the FL's pov so we learn about it gradually along side with her- so it's a plot twist).

The idol-fan arc of the drama is also at a minimum tbh once Sol realizes their past connection after which the drama transforms into the usual "save your loved one" premise specially as they don't really give a lot of focus to his idol side.

May be try checking out a fan MV to get an idea kn the drama to see if it's ok?

Haha good one- mine always nags that i don't drink enough 😅😅😅

Idk...i've been seeing alot of Fan greetings lately on X and some really act just as crazy and careless as the hikers. Truly scary🫠

At most, may be they were tipped off that SE might be there? Or it was a coincidence that the villain took advantage of.

The way he giggled? That always gets me! You know that it was probably the first time in a really long time he was that carefree🫠

Manga :
1. My Happy Marriage (there's also a jdrama and Anime- all versions are great)

2. Taisho Otome Fairy Tale (there's an anime too)

****
Manwha/ webtoon :
1. No Marriage is Perfect (this reminds me of WTPR alot in some ways)

2. The Remarriage Contract

3. There Must be Happy Endings
(this is a time travel/ second chancefantasy - bit of a slow burn but the ending is worth it. The MC has communication issues just like in WTPR. Imagine a crossover of LR and WTPR may be but with only 1 main time slip?)

4. Perfect Marriage Revenge (personally I prefer the Kdrama over the webtoon)

***
Manhua :
1. No Doubt in us (fantasy body switching involved between the couple as an extra bonus)
***

If you are into Jdramas, I also recommend
"Ousama ni Sasagu Kusuriyubi" - it's fun and isn't too long (contract marriage that starts as enemies- there's probably a manga for this too but i haven't really searched)

Ngl...most of the marketing teams have been sleeping throughout 2024🫠

Did Heeju talk to the staff though? Even during the investigation she didn't say anything eventhough she was panicking.

She only probably talks to her dad when they are alone and since he has dimensia there's always a possibility of denying even if he says something.

TBF she is a little too lax at the care facility since anybody can walk in unanounced 🙈

When Mr Park informed that it was a woman (at the dress store), SE kind of suspected HeeJu but was in denial. But once he heard the unedited voice recording (during the team dinner), he knew it was HeeJu .

Poor SE still didn't want to believe it though (mostly out of fear since this would mean that she is entangled with the kidnapper and might be in danger), so he asked for the voice analysis match one last time with the police dash cam footage.
The results = 99.99% match.😊

Yes- in the original timeline it was implied that he was a high school dropout and a troubled teen. Even in the first time line it was indicated that he had a strained relationship with his father.

While it was never confirmed what happened to Taesung later in life in the OG timeline, it's safe to assume that if he didn't meet Sol, his life wouldn't have been as good as it is in the last timeline.

PS: he doesn't end up heart broken either since the timeline changed! His character arc was about self development and not romance really.

Love is blind🤣

What I love about WTPR is that they don't just focus on the past but rather "what will they do in the future?". Their past actions are tangled with their trauma but they don't use their trauma as an excuse to continue these actions once they know what.they are doing is wrong.

In a world of Red Flags that get way more love than they deserve and who take way too long to make mediocre changes, Sa Eon started to take initiative from the moment the calls started subconsciously.

Even asking Mr Kang for marital advice wasn't that difficult eventhough we know that SE doesn't usually have a lot of patience with Mr Kang.

Once he truly realized his mistakes, he didn't have the usual kdrama moment of denial but instead immediately took action so he can stop hurting HeeJu.

His mistake was misunderstanding HeeJu's silence as her being comfortable instead of suffocating. But what's good about him is that he is willing to learn from his mistakes.

💯

Ikr?! I usually like this type of thrope but never expected to get this obsessed
🙈🙈🙈

Yesss! CSB truly killed it! The way she expresses herself without any words is 🔥
Same goes with YYS- the way his voice broke at the end of the episode only to find hope after seeing the flare was amazing🙈

Ngl this does make a lot of sense since one thing that hasn't been clear so far is how did the kidnapper end up with the hi-trch phone in the first place. You'd have to have some kind of connection or resources to get hold of one.

The mother also regrets her past actions so this could be her way of supporting her son🙊

Exactly.

Hey :)

Which quote are you referring to?


"Revenge on parents" quote- it was in ep 5 during their childhood flashback

***

"No intention to marry HJ"- it wasn't really said but it's implied. I mean if In Ah didn't get cold feet, then Sa Eon would have married In Ah regardless of his feelings for HJ. He'd still find some other solution to save her from the scumbag marriage since he is resourceful.

Ignoring their age difference, there has to be a reason why he never even tried to pursuit HJ. It might be connected to his secret i guess? May be he felt he wasn't worthy of her/ she didn' need to be dragged into another hellhole? 🙈

Exactly! This is what I feel too. He wrnt out of his way to make sure HJ doesn't get hurt even at his own expense...there has to be something more he is planning

He would have access to more details but I don't think candidates are required to share family details aside from their marital status right?

Mr Kang certainly would be an interesting villain ngl - from being that irritating co-worker to Love guru is one way of winning SE's trust but I'm not sure since currently his role is fulfilling the standard Kdrama comic relief potion of the drama as well🙈

Figuring out HJ is SE's wife is also not that difficult if you look at Kang's pov since Sa Eon was indirectly applying whay Kang adviced him on (plus he has been seeing their sparks from the moment HJ did the interview).

One thing I noticed about Mr Kang after rewatching the recent episodes is that he doesn't have a filter just like SE's reporter friend. For somebody who finds silence peaceful, it's interesting how he shares most of his private burdens with people who he shows annoyance outwards but secretly trusts/ respects enough. Do you think this could have any connection?

Since his circle is so small, I hope Kang isn't an accomplis🙈

I thought that he was confident because he had no interest in In Ah and also knew for a fact that In Ah had no interest in joining his family either.

To Sae Eon, his heart only belongs to HeeJu, so he will not "discard" her just because of a petty blackmailer.

I'm not sure about the contract and marriage certificate plot twist you mentioned since logically speaking they should have anyway signed the marriage certificate to make the marriage official infront of the family. The agreement is just a custom version of a Pre-nup which is usually signed in advance (at least that's how i understood it).
In the wedding flashback, SE informed HJ that the wedding was switched to a private event so I'm assuming they later had the official wedding ceremony with only the family involved.
