Beanie level: Rooftop room dweller

I wish I were a chaebol who could throw tantrums and call tvn ceo into my office and glare at him and scare him into releasing all the episodes.

Who says chaebol’s are crazy! Where is that airline lady who stalled the airline because she was offered peanuts as soon as she sat down… where are my crazy chaebol’s… do they not watch kdramas?

Where is the SKY nexus of crazy kids? Time to prove yourself…

Where is China… pay money and get all episodes is a good model to have 😀

Lol.. Ya.. I am trying to find something to distract me until next Mon but failing miserably

I keep going back and forth on SJ’s death theory.

If Serial Killer murdered SJ then how can SJ save himself? No one knows about it then how will SJ be better prepared.

There will always be a gap where mature 34 yr old Sol does not recognize SJ until this 34 yr old and time traveling 34 yr crosses path with original 34 yr old and takes over permanently (that sweet crossover point which is after she fell into the water looking for the watch). The only way this is possible is that upon 2nd time travel, 34 yr old finds out from police that something is fishy about the death.

However, one glaring point is that if characters know about time travel and past is changing then how does one make sure that the “death” must happen and 34 yr old Sol is compelled to time travel. For 34 yr old Sol to feel that compulsion she must feel the guilt and desperation to save SJ. SJ must die. We know one character is hidden – one who bumped into Sol and her phone fell at concert venue, one who knew she will be found in the river upon her time travel return and took her to hospital… who is this guy – SJ or TS? Two bodies of same person cannot exist in the timeline.

Ah!!!… Who rang the bell… the actual murderer or SJ-TS’s planning. And, if it is planning then the death hasn’t really happened .. Only the news of death made public… now whether he miraculously heals before post portem or replaces dead body is another confusing point

Another bit now is that he will try to become an idol because he knows only that way he can stay in Sol’s life. Time traveling is really looping here.

        did you watch her in the unexpected business s3? her English… you can make out what a perfectionist she is… must have worked so hard to achieve that clarity in pronunciation (so many actresses do that but haven’t heard such clear English so goes onto show that she really works very hard to be a perfectionist; funny Jo In sung could not stop praising the leading actress during Winter AUtumn drama of his because she could speak English… lol.. and on the show he could not stop gushing on how good HHJ is… JIS is seriously funny)

            No, no, I did get your meaning. I wrote it wrong. I meant are those talking about it on X or other forums Korean or not. Because the ratings only reflect the Korean audience, and of those I think mostly the elder generations. The younger ones seem to most stream shows online which isn’t included in the ratings… So it probably only means that the show isn’t much to the elder Koreans’s taste…

‘m obsessed but not the point 😀 … point is, drama’s name is “Time walking on memories” .. interesting curious name given it seems she did lose quite a lot of memories post accident in original time

Technically speaking, if she is in the moment when the bell rang then that would be the past right? She can stop time by being Dispatch right? Current time is post the death… her being in water.. And this time in her room..

Stopping time is coolest

Ok, since in this drama soul time travels and not the bodies then SJ can’t time travel since two bodies don’t exist in the same timeline. However, with each change, the memories of original characters (including SJ) change. So, at some point SJ will still come to know that time travel is happening and FL is here because he died on a certain date.

Now, going back to my original theory of him being murdered. In the end, SJ will be better prepared with help of his friends and all to avert the whole murder.

The big question is who is the murderer and who is the person who is saving Sol and is doing things behind the scenes in 2023.

1. If SJ is not time traveling, highly likely, then the behind the scene architect has to be TS. I think this show won’t keep him just for a 2ML role fulfillment for sake of some episode filler lover triangle. No one knows what happened to TS in original timeline(abroad/died/jailed); maybe Sol saves him too with these time travels. Also, for sure TS will also piece together that Sol is time traveling

1. Murderer – and why after 15 years. SJ is famous. Let’s go back to the cab driver. It is clear that we are talking about a serial killer – potentially someone who got arrested and hence never bothered Sol again. But now that he is out the first person he goes to find is the guy who would have got him captured aka SJ.

There is one other potential way – TS in cohoots with SJ “faked/pushed SJ to death because both know that before autopsy happens, time traveling SJ will replace the soul in deal SJ…but i prefer the other theory where the bell was rung by SJ only and TS is red herring to keep people guessing who is saving sol/who bumped into her etc

    🫨 It’s complicated but then most plausible considering what we know till now. I too wish for it to be all Sun-Jae but then both Tae Sung and In Hyuk have leading roles i.e. will impact the lives of OTP in some way.

      This theory is pointless now. We know that in this drama 2 bodies of same person do not exist. It is soul swap.

        Let’s see how complicated they make the time loops. I think 2023 Sol’s watch has one chance left. Does the 2008 Sun-Jae have 3 chances as well!?

If it is a timeloop then the one who rang the bell for SJ before his death is SJ himself. And, the boy who ran , bumped into FL at concert venue is ML too

    Wonder where does the 2ML fit in the future timeline.

      I wonder about him too. He seems to be at the right place and the right time this second time around (helping her with the smoking gang and with the fire).

      yes.. maybe she is mean tto save 3 lives… TS included..

      Theroy 1 – TS died/went abroad… so Sol might be able to save him this time and give him a friend circle in herself, SJ, and SJ’s friends

      Theory 2 – TS also figures out time traveling part and with SJ would try to support/help in the loop

      Theory 3 – TS being the quintessential 2ML of a kdrama.. actor is actually good

      3
      2

        He is. I’m embarrassed that TS is a very quintessential crush of a teengae girl character but I’m liking him too 😂 It helps that SJ is a very good lead so I’m not strayed by the charms of this bad boy. Looking at his body of work I’ve definitely seen a few dramas he’s been in but don’t recognize him at all. Those were probably smaller roles. He looks a lot like Seo Kang Joon imo.

          need to check out his past work. When he first appeared, i was like why would she fall for him when he is not even good looking…but boy was i wrong.. charms, charms all over

          this is such a true blue romance drama.. feels like eons passed since a good drama came along

        I like your theories. He too seemed to be aware of the time travel and can easily distinguish between past and present Sol. When she goes back for the second time says – Ah! Halemoni you’re back.

        Also there seems to be some misunderstanding / angst between Sun-Jae and In Hyuk in the future as Sol says Sun-Jae has had to face many rumors and maligning because of In Hyuk’s fans.

    I really hope you’re right because they have been eerily hinting towards a murder rather than a suicide. What we know as of now is that future Sun jae remembers past Im Sol but her future self doesn’t remember her past. So it is most probably a time loop.

    2
    1

      Yes. Someone rang the bell -> SJ dies -> postportem not performed so miracles can always happen -> Sol time travels 1st time -> things change, memories of everyone changes except 19 yr sol because she is “absent” from the scene so original 2023 timeline sol doesn’t have memories too -> Sol comes back, goes back 2nd time (in all of this, all monologues of SJ are cryptic.. they will be valid with different meaning when he is aware and when he is not aware of the time travel part)

      eventually SJ has to piece it together that Sol he loves is from 2023 and for the time travel to happen he must die on that same day.

      The fact that face of the boy has been hidden from us – one who bumped into her on concert day and her phone fell, she got the watch so that she could time travel… so again part of loop because SJ knows he must give the watch to her, and then the guy who saved sol and took her to hospital when she came back to 2023 the 1st time…

    One of the QOT’s attractions (at least to me) is the old school drama feel although I can surely do without any terminal illness. The writer and the production team has so far done an excellent job in re-packaging and re-imagining the all too familiar tropes with fresh strokes to propel it into another blockbuster, underpinned by an excellent cast.

    I am not going to compare this to Call It Love or My Liberation Notes or My Ajusshi – but simply enjoying it as another CLOY. Injecting a cancer into any new drama is not the formula to repeat QoT’s success.

    Creating a box office hit is never as simple as what we think it to be.

Can they be bold enough to take a double time travel route.

SJ time traveled first. So, the guy who bumped into her at that concert and the guy who rang the bell on the day SJ died was SJ himself..

He he.. Surprise me drama

Spoiler ep 2 Lovely Runner

Shoot! In the previous lifetime when SJ met FL on the bridge on the day of his death he knew her. She is his first love. He was looking at the girl he loved for so long on a wheelchair and wearing his fandom band. HOW CAN HE KILL HIMSELF after that?

Also, given he saved her on the day of the accident and was in the same school so he must have known that she lost her legs? Or, maybe the hospital scene is after accident and her loss of legs had not yet reached others?

If he knew about loss of leg, did he know he was talking to her on the radio? If not, then he was being a regular nice guy and idolish idol

    I don’t think it was that serious back then. He had a little crush on her, but it never went anywhere because she was obsessed with the SML. Now, the photo is in present crime scene meaning the relationship led somewhere, but for some reason, Sun Jae still killed himself. I wonder if the writer is trying to hint that it was actually a murder.

    My other current theory is that the SL saved Sol and died. That would explain why her mother acted suspicious and did not give Sol a name of her savior.

      actually rewatch ep 1 – ML only saved Sol; Sol was hurt before the accident so something big/bigger had happened. SML is not dead because the guy who brushed against her during the concert isn’t random.

      In ep 1, rewatch the radio scene. Band members were dialing “random” numbers and SJ dialed Sol’s. Not a coincidence.

      Rewatch the concert scene – lyrics of the song he sang last; and then the comments + countenance during their encounter on the bridge

      it was not a little crush but he has been protecting her since forever. Pretty sure Mom was in touch with him also.

        You definitely noticed more than I did! Now I am wondering what the SML’s role will be in all that.

        I still hope they wouldn’t go with the kdrama ML-remembered-FL-4ever-after-one-interaction, but yeah, I am guessing you are right.

    I was thinking about this too!! I think in the first ep you assume that the radio call was just random luck but following this theory that in that timeline, SJ knew Sol (but she didn’t know him because she was in love with SML at this point I guess), it would make sense still if he called her number knowingly! And it also further colours all their interactions in the pre-timetravel timeline. Also random but I thought it was so cute that the white lollies that she gives him when they were teens ends up becoming his favourite candy, which is maybe why he was looking the jar of it (that adult Sol gives him) with a weird look (for a lack of better word, it looked like he was flitting through several emotions at once in this scene).
