Jokes aside, it's telling that his love life was pretty unsuccessful.

Honestly, I am glad that its success is akin to that of SOOD. Otherwise, instead of truly organic scene construction, we would have been bombarded by Kopiko, Subway, random cafes, clothes and other items that high schoolers or college kids would never have been able to afford.

Yeah. It's all fake PPL by Sun Jae, LOL.

I finally have a theory about the pocket watch. The preview shows Sun Jae holding it outside of Sol's office. I think when she quit, she left it behind for Sun Jae knowing how stubborn he sometimes can be. It was her way of hoping he lives a long life despite them accidentally running into each other. This is because she has been forced to believe that as long as they are in each other's lives, Sun Jae is doomed to a tragic end.

In my country, there is a saying that something can be "both pain and medicine". I think it's applicable to the creative decisions taken by the production team. The events of the drama are painful, however, to reach to a satisfactory conclusion, these events must happen, akin to taking medicine.

Yeah. If only KYS dies, can they both live in peace.

Oh, yes. His deceptively cool physical appearance ruined by definitely uncool actions and reactions. 🤣 His visceral dislike of the Year of the Horse due to Sol's ridiculous lie is so dang funny.

Their school was segregated. So, it's not that difficult. Just as Sol integrated herself into Sun Jae's life when she first time travelled to the past, in this final travel, she must have done many things similarly. However, she made sure to keep out of Sun Jae's line of sight, and that honestly is not that difficult to do when she doesn't even exist in his life. Just how OG Sol was oblivious to his existence, with him pining for her from distance, in this new timeline the tables have turned. Also, In Hyuk and Tae Sung were not even close friends in the OG timeline. They ran in different circles. Perhaps, in this timeline, both of them developed a deeper friendship given Sol's intervention and him not slacking off of school. In Hyuk must have been aware of Tae Sung's female friend. To put things in perspective, Tae Sung had many fangirls in school. In Hyuk may not have paid much attention to any. However, Tae Sung's friendship with In Hyuk endured by virtue of them being in the same school and in the same band. If you remember, despite Tae Sung being in the band, both he and Sun Jae were pretty much unacquainted.

Also, this drama is so similar in tone to SOOD, the latter being one of the best dramas that I have ever watched.

Finally! We are in the minority!

Copying and pasting my earlier comments.

Absolutely loving the creative decisions. Because LR was never supposed to blow up, the whole team was not bound by similar beats that most dramas of this genre usually have to go through. Contrary to most, I loved episode 13 and all that it promises to lead us to in episode 14. The first timeline illustrates Sun Jae still loving her despite his regret and guilt, the second timeline illustrates his love despite there being no tragedy to tie him to her, and the final timeline illustrates that despite Sol eliminating the pivotal event that started it all, Sun Jae will still inevitably fall for her. Both their fates will intertwine with or without any intervention by Sol. Sol was never meant to attend the award show, she never intended to collide with anyone as she hurried up the stairs, yet, eventually she did end up reuniting with Sun Jae. Moreover, it's hard to believe that being in the entertainment industry he had no detractors, yet, Sol's supposed dislike seems to throw him off-kilter and sparks his curiosity. Fate has been both cruel and kind to Sol. It forced Sol to let the love of her go and still created a random opportunity for them to meet.
From this moment on, deja vu route would be the most fitting. If we can buy into time travel, why not buy into resurfacing of the memories of each timeline lived? What everyone seems to forget that all the involved have lived through all the timelines. Their memories may never have been created, yet, they did experience it once.

I think it's safe to assume that our bumbling, jewellery fashion-challenged Sun Jae bought it for himself. 🤣 The pendent exists simply to reiterate the point that no matter what Sol does, the most significant events of their lives will sooner or later catch up to them. In other words, they are fated to meet, fated to go through similar beats, and fated to confront that taxi driver. And yeah, Sun Jae's fated to like that revolting piece of jewellery. In this timeline, he bought it for himself. *sigh*

😄

Given it's Sun Jae, he must have actively sought the pocket watch after reading the script. I still can't come up with how he stumbled upon that particular brand of pocket watch.

So good to see you here! I think, you and I constituted the handful of people who loved May I Help You from its beginning through its end. :)

I am in the minority, LOL. I, for one, loved E13. Copying and pasting my earlier comment.

I dunno.

Preach!

SolJae's love seems so fleshed out. We need to be able to buy into the fact that SolJae love each other to the extent of making life - altering sacrifices and are not just doing it because the script says so. I, for once, think the length of this drama is fairly justified. I usually hope for dramas to be done by 10 or 11 episodes, LOL. Also, the repetition is deliberate. We are experiencing same kind of frustration and exhaustion that Sol is experiencing as evident from her outburst at Hyun Ju.
