I correct myself, after episode 9 I was annoyed, but watching 10 I'm disgusted. all you saying the love triangle…
I 100% agree with you. Sunjae's jealousy can irritate some viewers because the jealousy thrope had been going on for several episodes and there are other viewers who don't really mind it that much (i mean compared to some kdramas they make the misunderstandings more humorous than stressful so i guess it helps for some).
There's 6 episodes left so I hope the good outweigh the bad points :)

The triangle is very much dead since: 1- KTS only likes 34 year old Sol so if Sol didn't time travel back to 2009, KTS wouldn't be interested in Sol. He also knows that there's no chance for him to rekindle things with the Sol he likes since she has made it clear that there is no chance in hell for them to workout. (There is a resolution of sorts here that completely ends any lingering feelkngs by the end of ep 16 but i will not spoil it here).
2- Even 2009 Sol seems to have cut ties with KTS for reasons unknown so we can assume that even the younger Sol had no intension of rekindling old flames.
3- Sunjae knows that HIS Sol likes him once he believed her time travel story and doesn't get jealous from that point on wards.
His jealousy till mid ep 10 makes sense in a way since at least till this point, in his youthful pov Sunjae was still very confused because of Sol's erratic behaviour. Sol kept pushing him away and yet he keeps finding Sol together in cahoots with KTS even after the 2 broke up .π
We also need to be mindful that till the end of ep 10, he was still not 100% sure if Sol really was from the future and not just rejecting him again. At least a part of Sol from 2008 used to like KTS A LOT and Sunjae still hasn't gotten over the whiplash he got from episode 4 or 5 when one minute Sol showed all indications that she likes him to less than 12 hours later seeing her being in love with the other guy again (even after she herself declared previously that she didn't like KTS anymore). And again after she broke up with KTS, till ep 6, Sol again showed strong signs of caring about Sunjae only to end things cruelly and ignore him again.
All the 2008 events mentioned above happened in a span of 7-8 months fro. Ep 9's pov. So you can hardly expect the ML and the SML to do a 180Β° and simply forget Sol's erratic behavior, specially considering the fact that both KTS and SJ are still 19 in ep 9-10 and aren't mature enough to act grown up about everything.
So Sunjae's jealousy in a way makes sense. What we need to focus on is the fact that he doesn't drag this into their relationship. He is possesive, true, but his actions do not hurt Sol in a toxic manner. (I'l admit his possessiveness is exhausting to his friends but they always call him out on it and tbf they already knew what they were signing up for when they became friends π π π )

Did you watch episode 10 till the end? The SML calls out the ML for his unnecessary jealousy - that's why most viewers don't take the triangle seriously IMO.
There's no triangle if the SML himself pushes the ML towards the FL- specially if the FL makes it crystal clear that she has no interest in the SML in that way. The ML also gets over his jealousy before they get together so there's nothing toxic from that front in that timeline either enough to call things "disgusting".
**** Reasons with spoilers are available in the below πcomment if you are interested :)
Edit: if you are referring to the SML's antics in ep 9 and 10 - he mostly does them to annoy Sunjae/ tease Sol. He already knows that Sol will not give him a second chance. Secretly pining after her is his choice since in his reality it's been only 6-7 months since they broke up (even if it was a 2 week relationship it was the first time KTS fell for someone). But this too is given a resolution by the time the series ends (not sure how you would feel about it tbh though since some like it/ some want more closure).
Time is not precious for them π€While apparently we teenagers have all the time in the world π€£π€£π€£
They might make an exception for LR if the schedules allow it? They'd have to be blind not to see how fans keep asking for more joint content as well as SD's high viewership ratings π
The watch gets activated at the time of sunjae's death. Like the first watch at midnight and second watch during…
It's mostly by trial and error. Based on her previous time travel experience she made an estimate that it's about 1-1.5 months. The uncertainity was the reason why she was extra cautious in 2009 since she had to stop the driver before she was pushed forward to her own time.
How the exact time was decided- a popular guess is that the watch can sense the time Sol wants to go back to (i.e. right before things went wrong) which is why she usually ended up going back in time close to the date she needs to make changes. But there is no real explanation as far as I know.
Not sure how they got the list of countries/ if it's the final list:https://www.instagram.com/p/C9e78xRpqDH/?igsh=MWF5MnB4cTQwZjAydg==
Ah that makes more sense.
It might have a different regional release date then like they had with "Eye Love You" (I mean with ELY, Netflix Canada got the release rights over a month or so after Netflix Asia had their release outside Japan)
Iβm done talking some sense to you π as you would always take my words differently. Iβve been trying to…
Don't let them get to youππ- they are most likely just bored if they still have the time to hangout in a place they hate and are trying to drag YOU into it.
As a fellow lurker since Day 1, I don't recall you ever being "houlier" (whatever that means)π€¦ββοΈ

They'll probably add more countries to the mix! They haven't even officially updated it on my NF app yet (seeing as there's barely 2 weeks till the release date.)
What are some parts in the story that you guys would call super good writing? Or examples of how something just…
I personally loved how they dealt with Sunjae's road to rediscovering Sol in ep 14-16. The gradual process was just so heart touching and quite subtle too in a way.
Also Sol's gradual change in emotions from being optimistic and bubbly in ep 1 (despite her paralysis/ all other obstacles she had to face in the og timeline as well as right after going back to 2008) to masking her depression and desperatation behind a smile throughout the last timeline until she finally broke down after Sunjae was back for good was just *chef's kiss* IMOππ
Think it's the speed. I recall seeing a comment a few months back where they mentioned it took around 2 years…
Most likely yes :)
I guess the main reason why netflix is getting the spotlight is mostly because their regret over not signing up for the original stream was quite obvious when the show was airing
(For instance they kept sharing promo reels of BWS's other work available on metflix with captions like "we discovered him first" or something similar + they started to promote KHY's dramas as well on the app π)
I wonderWhy are people amazed that Lovely Runner is finally showing on Netflix?Isn't there another drama like…
Think it's the speed. I recall seeing a comment a few months back where they mentioned it took around 2 years for NF to get access to True Beauty for instance (not sure if it's true though).

If you mostly need Romcom, I'd recommend LR first.
If it's youth, family, and friendship with a secondary focus on romance- Twinkling Watermelon
Honestly it doesn't really matter which you try first since both are great dramas π
18 Again - i haven't watched so i can't comment but it's got a lot of positive feedback and fun reels too so it probably is good tooπ
Fingers crossed anyway π€π€π€

My country is supposed to have access to the series but even my App doesn't have the "coming soon" notification yet
Saaame- i've had to watch it online since i don't have a viki subscription/ Viu is not accessible. Need to make it officialπ
