She loves him from the start, but he was engaged with her sister
If Hui Joo was more attentive and perceptive she’d see that he’s always liked her. Also I’m pretty sure In A saw it too and she never wanted to be with him bc she knew he’d never want or love her the way he loves Hui Joo. She was probably offended / got super hurt and that’s why she ran away from the wedding & referred to Hui Joo as being insignificant 😭 I think Hui Joo is afraid of her / talking with her because he feels she stole her place (as Sa Eon’s wife) or something. Little does she know In A was the one who ran away and wanted to call it off.
Next episode will be better I hope but Sa Eon seems frantic bc Hui Joo is missing??? In the teaser he has bruises on his hands so I’m sort of worried 🥲
I find the way Sa Eon has always been annoyed with In A hilarious 😭😭 and he seemed so annoyed to have to tutor her then seeing Hui Joo be her shadow / interpreter and write sweet messages of encouragement or the complete opposite of what he said to her drove him over the edge. I’m also confused about whey he remembers her so vividly and she doesn’t rlly remember him or seem to care? Like do those memories mean nothing to her?
I think she feels like she is nothing more than a replacement but she needs to be fr… Sa Eon never loved or wanted In A 💀
Best part of the episode was Sa-eon freaking out of the heart eyes emoji, Reading the texts from Sang U (we love a jealous and protective king) Hui Joo saving him and then her falling on top of him again + accidentally kissing him. Seem like it’s their thing at this point. Sang U gives me bad vibes and he pisses me off anytime I see his face on my screen 😭 oddly enough I find the true villain hilarious. I cannot take him seriously bc he’s always calling Hui Joo sis 😂
Agshsjsjsjsjsjs I am so frustrated!!! She needs to tell him the truth and he needs to be honest with her too 😭😭😭 also this episode seemed like so much like filler man
I made my friend who has never watched a kdrama in her life watch this and she fell in love (also note that she's super picky when it comes to romance media and only really likes historical romance bc of the slowburn and pursuit of love / yearning). She agreed that this drama is a masterpiece 😭🥹
I can't watch it as the fl got change on the next season
The first season is still really good imo. S2 is different and you feel the shift, that's all i'l say. Some ppl watch S1 and don't bother with S2 bc they feel the same as you do
So am done watching and I agree with all your take on This drama, there's really so much I wanted to way but because…
Hey!!! Omg finally after 6-7 months you are done 😭
I’m happy to hear that you appreciated my review and found it relatable 🥹🩷 I completely agree with you because by the halfway mark of the drama, I was so over it and wishing they would wrap it up or somehow make the storyline less cliche/predictable. Because after some time, it does get to a point 😴
I thought this was written as the opposite. Normally time travel shows have a flaw or plot hole but this drama…
What you’re referring to is the domino effect, not the butterfly effect. But if you want to get more specific I’d say that the plot of Lovely Runner exhibits characteristics of both the snowball effect and the domino effect.
The domino effect is evident in the way that events unfold in a linear, cause-and-effect manner. Each attempt by the protagonist to change the past triggers a new set of events, which ultimately lead to the same outcome (Sunjae's death).
The snowball effect comes into play because each iteration of the time loop builds upon the previous one, gaining momentum and emotional intensity. The protagonist's actions, though well-intentioned, create a sense of inevitability, making the ultimate outcome feel increasingly crushing.
So, in a sense, the plot of Lovely Runner combines the linear, cause-and-effect nature of the domino effect with the accumulating momentum and emotional intensity of the snowball effect.
Essentially, this drama aimed to illustrate that changing the past results in disastrous outcomes. Regardless of Sol's actions, all her efforts proved ineffective; the only way she could rescue Sun Jae after repeatedly going in circles throughout the drama was to completely remove herself from his life. Cheap and predictable writing if you ask me.
Another unrealistic element of the drama is the absence of time travel rules; Sol disregarded every guideline concerning time travel, that for me was so frustrating to watch. The writers began by stating she couldn't inform anyone of her being a time traveler / being from the future, yet she managed to reveal this to Sun Jae? Make it make sense! The writing itself is subpar, filled with numerous plot inconsistencies. In my view, Sol was a weak character, and just because she was disabled does not imply she had a mental disability or was unable to strategize or plan her actions more effectively. Her entire storyline revolved around her chasing after her favorite idol to prevent his death, not even realizing she was probably the cause.
At 34 years old, she had led a fulfilling life despite her disability; she had a job, family, and friends. She was not mentally unwell or incapable by any means. Imo she matured at the appropriate time; there was no delay in her development. Maybe she was just a bit naive and unfamiliar with dating/relationships, but you need to remember that she also consumed romance media/books and even helped edit romance dramas + (writing and producing dramas in an alternate reality after she changed the past), so imo she certainly had more knowledge than was suggested.
If you are a longtime time travel enthusiast, films like Back to the Future effectively depict what time travel should entail. In my opinion, dramas like Nine: Nine Times Time Travel, Twinkling Watermelon, A Time Called You / Some Day or One Day, Tomorrow With You, Perfect Marriage Revenge and Marry My Husband handle this genre more adeptly, as they imposed constraints on the characters’ actions or at least established a deadline they needed to adhere to.
Ultimately, this is my viewpoint and you are also entitled to yours. We do not have to share the same opinion 😊
Funny? I didn't realize there were people out there who found Squid Game funny. Entertaining, absolutely yes.…
Pretty sure I'm not the only one who found it funny bc there are tons of edits / parody's on YouTube or Tiktok where ppl brought up the comedy in the series
