1. I was getting tired of watching Sol trying to carry Sun Jae, herself and the entire world on her shoulders. Even if she loses the next 14 years of her life AGAIN, there wouldn't be one soul to worry about her or help her. She was running towards such a lonely and messy fate, even when there are things she can't change.

Additionally, I was exhausted with how everything keeps making Sol feel like she isn't good enough or like she is the problem, while putting Sun Jae in some kind of pedestal, and making it all about him.

But THEN my boy Tae Seong came back!!!! ☺️ As expected, he gave Sol the little comfort she needed (or maybe it was the comfort I needed).
After watching her cry and hate herself, it was nice to see someone ask her how was she doing, and all that.
That was the only moment this week where she didn't look stress out.

And after all that, Sun Jae FINALLY figured things out. I hope that means Sol doesn't go around stressing out about everything anymore —tbh, I'm only happy they got together again because whiny Sun Jae was stressing me out too—.

2. Tae Seong was by far the highlight of the week for me. Except for that dumb fight with Sun Jae, all his scenes were on point. He's just the ray of sunshine in this show.

I love his relationship Sol (top 5 favorite ex-couples lol), and I can't wait to see him build a friendship with Sun Jae (no more stupid-macho fights, please). It was also cute to see him with his dad too.

On another note, I didn't expect him to be a business man, tho. Like did I miss the scene where he explains why he isn't doing music anymore? Why isn't him with Eclipse? Well, being into fashion was his thing too, so I guess his new job makes sense. Better than suddenly becoming a detective.

Anyway, I missed my guy. Like OG Sol would say, TAE SEONG MANSAE. 😂

3. I love Sun Jae with his dad. The airport scene was such a sweet moment that we usually don't get in kdramas. A father hugging his son with so much affection is such a rare thing to see on tv. Even in real life sometimes.

I like their little moments as a family. Unlike another single father I saw this week *cough* Atypical F *cough* it's good to see Sun Jae's dad try his best for his son and give him all the love he deserves.

Oh! And the scene with In Hyuk as his "other son" was adorable. And even if In Hyuk's remarks about Sol annoy the makjang out of me, I love watching him be so protective and supportive of Sun Jae.

I wish we got those little moments for Sol too. She also deserves some love. But of course this show won't give her anything that isn't Sun Jae related, sigh.

3. Eclipse... I wonder if Sun Jae goes back to rehab and continues his swimming career, or what happens to him. Maybe he goes directly to acting? Or maybe he becomes a PE teacher? Or a soloist? So many options.
I don't think he would mind any of them, so I guess it doesn't matter much his future has changed.
It could be worse. I...

If I'm tired by the back and forth, time travel and serial killer, I really like the relationships. Not sure why she can say she's from the future but not the rest...

I love Tae-Sung and Sol scenes. I think we see the real Sol when she's with him. He's the most mature from the 3!

If I love the swoony moments between Sol and Sun-Jae, I found Sol acts like a teenager with him and not the 34 years old woman she's. She's like a toddler who thinks if he can's see us, we don't see him. She always wanted to save Sun-Jae but never tried to understand what he wanted for him and spent her time to stop things in his life. But everytime, she hurt him in the process. I hope now he knows, things will get better.

Our boy Tae-sung! How can one not like him?! I really like the scene where Tae-sung tells Sun-Jae to not waste his energy being jealous.

Overall, I enjoyed these two episodes very much. I appreciate the writer making Sun jae smart enough to put the pieces of the puzzle together.

My only negative would be Kim Hye-Yoon's wailing...i had to mute her crying scenes a few times throughout these episodes 😬
My

I-get-to-this-early. Yessss!!!

Just for a wee bit, like a small, itty bitty wee bit, I fell for Sol and Tae. Like, not really, but I could see them being happy together if that makes sense. It's not even fair how amazing this SL is. He is a breath of fresh air. For the first time in a show, I am in love with the second ML while never once shipping him with the FL. Did the young Sol never go back to Tae? I know the noona Sol warned him to stay away from the second-hand-embarrassment Sol, still...it would have given a nice twist lol!

Mopping Sun-jae is hard to watch. I burst out laughing when In-Hyun called him out for being about a step lower than a stalker. I mean, it is indeed quite pathetic to keep following a girl around who has clearly said no in no uncertain terms. Taking admission in the same college in hopes she would maybe notice? When she didn't even after you saved her sorry ass and she is the neighbour right across the street?

But then I guess it pays off because she lands right in his arms (what was second-hand-embarrassment Sol doing up there on that horse anyway? How did she even get there?).

My heart broke when she was searching for that watch so desperately. But interestingly, Sunjae was not dead yet, he was in the hospital, on a ventilator. So she came back while he was still alive. I found that little piece interesting.

I do love how they are not playing hard and loose with the time travel rules. Though it's all still quite fantastic, but the rules are now beginning to look consistent, an ingredient always welcome in stories that need suspended disbelief (something that Avergers made us marvel at, pun intended).

The only thing I didn't like in these two episodes was that spiderman kiss. I don't care about genders, but you don't go around kissing people when they are drunk or are in a vulnerable position. Imagine a guy doing that to a girl suspended on a bear trap.....come on! She needed to run screeching for help, not molest him while he was hanging upside down wailing his lost love - I can really do without these two.

I absolutely loved how they brought about Sunjae knowing about Sol. I didn't see that coming, and it's a game changer. This time, when Sol leaves, we know Sunjae would be there on the other side, waiting for her. In fact I can imagine this convo:

Sunjae to Tae: Do you think she is back?
Tae: Peers into Sol - Noona?
Sol- Taeeeeee, how are you here? Do you still miss me?
Tae to Sunjae - Nah! She is not back yet.

I am giggling.

Thank you for a lovely recap. ❤

First things first I love both our male leads. They are so observant and actually use their knowledge and intelligence to recognize Sol-34 and acknowledge her time travel theory. They are both great at connecting the dots. All hail the rise of IQ of male leads in K-dramas which is actually put to good use in furtherance of the plot. 🙌

With Eclipse releasing their new album in 2023 can we get rid of the murderous cabbie altogether please! 🙏 I don't know and don't care to know about his backstory or relevance to the plot. Just give me more Sun Sol please, like lots and lots more.

I feel for Sun-Jae's shoulder 😳 what's with Sol falling in his arms and him having to piggyback her, holding up two containers to collect leaking water, brawling with Tae Sung etc, etc. *Ouch* Can any therapy help him !? Maybe Sol can kiss him better. 😘

I couldn't believe how was it possible for Sun Sol to come back from that field trip with ... you know. Thankfully the epilogue helped us heave a collective sigh of relief. Also with Sun-Jae's dad calling Sol his daughter-in-law and Tae Sung calling out Sun-Jae's questionable (for now) status as son-in-law of Sol's house we are all set for HEA folks. Omo ... I have to go shopping. I have a wedding to attend folks. Just imagine how cute Sun Sol will look together at the altar. I hope they release a wedding photo shoot of Sun Sol. I'm squee-ing just thinking about this. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

I am in no way, shape, or form as entralled with this show like others are. I thought that even more after this weeks' episodes.

I also had this moment when I just thought "we're just never gonna learn about why he was distant and detached from his friend in the original time, are we?"
I guess it can be assumed it was just the years of guilt within him just reached a point where he was just done with everything (still doesn't really explain why he wouldn't tell his [former?] best friend & groupmate that he planned on retiring. Or why Tae Sung ended up getting into a fight that led to him leaving school. Tae Sung's jealous fangirls were apparently pointless except to, what, show 30 year old Sol being more mature than them? Oh, was to have him & Sol date (even though we never saw them date and it was all chalked up to him using her)

Also, did I miss something because why did Tae Sung's dad even show up that fateful night when Sol's would've gotten run over? And the cops couldn't do any investigating because Sol didn't remember anything but Sun Jae was there, could he have not said anything? Like she was running from a white trunk? Oh! Which brings me to how did the murderer know to burn down his evidence filled warehouse? Does he have a spy on the inside? Is the spy Tae Sung's father?

I saw that a reason for the show's popularity in SK is a nostalgia factor (like the Reply series). Another reason is people are so into the male lead. Since neither of those things are affecting me, I think I'm meh about what's happening. Is jaded also an accurate word? Haha

I think I miss the first week or two when had more of the second hand embarrassment inducing comedy. I think I chuckled, smiled, or laughed more than I do now. And back then he did actually die so she had a reason to go back to the past, in this latest journey to the past, he was just seriously injured but he wasn't dead. And it doesn't make a whole lot of sense why 19 year old Sol would've kept his watch when she didn't even wanna see him (since she associated him with her ordeal).

I think Sun Jae's friend's reaction is possibly understandable but at the same time, I get a bit irked when he blames Sol for situations that she wasn't responsible for. It's not like she *asked* to be abducted. She didn't *ask* Sun Jae to come save her. She didn't *ask* Sun Jae to wait or pine for her.

Sol's actions also irked me cause couldn't she just reverse back from under the table? Did I miss something blocking her path? Why get jealous (enough to drink) when she actively pushed him away? (Then again, feelings are feelings and you can't help how you feel) but still, it irked me haha. Like "I thought I was your first love and you waited for me but then you kissed her! How dare you!" after she told him leave as soon as possible.

I think it's cute that they've kinda had multiple first kisses in each decade haha. And each of the kisses have a different vibe...

Sun Jae and Sol in that final scene 🥰 all those push and pulls, yearning looks, drunken shenanigans, heartfelt confessions really paid off. Sun Jae despite his gentle nature has a petty streak. I can't help but laugh when he took revenge on that senior student for Sol. Also other scenes I like are Sun Jae and Tae Sung machismo contest. Sol just being adorable. Sol and Tae Sung conversations.💕

I have always liked Tae Sung and happy that he is back this week. These episodes confirmed to me that he became a detective in the future like his father. I would like him to be friends with Sun Jae. Afterall, he put Sun Jae's head on straight and gave him real talk. But at the same time came back to help Sol again as she is in another crisis mode. Everyone needs a friend like him.

Now with this latest turn of events, I wonder if the killer will make his move sooner. There are 6 more episodes to fill. I hope there are more Sol, Sun Jae and Tae Sung. Less killer-related scenes.

I can’t thank @dramaddictally enough for the recaps and especially for completely ignoring the screechy brother/bestie and the dumbass college retreat hijinks. If only I were watching the version of the show that skips those, too!

OK, because I love this show so much, I’m going to criticize it. 😆

I’m no more comfortable with the FL existing only for the ML and his well-being than I am when it’s the other way about, as in Marry My Husband. Sol in the original timeline seemed to have some determination and optimism and a will to live for herself, notwithstanding all the fangirling. What happened to that Sol? Now she’s almost 100% focused on Sun-jae - not just on his survival, but on the particular path she wants for him, at the expense of her own independent existence. And honestly, that’s kind of boring. Only KHY’s incredibly appealing performance is making it palatable.

I guess I’m in a minority on this, but dad also seems to me to be living only for and through SJ. SJ has never said he wanted to go back to swimming, or that he would be willing to try anything so extreme to do so. Once the Olympics were over, he made his point that he was happy while it lasted and doesn’t regret that he did it. Dad making plans behind his back and bulldozing ahead with them, without ever really discussing it with SJ or getting his agreement, doesn’t make him a good dad in my book. I know all this is to heighten the conflict and misdirection, but it’s doing Dad dirty.

And then, as @claire2009 says, every time I get impatient, there’s a scene that knocks my socks off. SJ coming back at the end of episode 10, having finally put everything together, to tell Sol what he really needs from her - I don’t think I took a breath for a good 5 minutes. Maybe I could still be a swimmer.

Thank you @dramaddictally for the recap. I really struggled to watch this week’s episodes after the heavy start because I didn’t want my happy place to turn dark. I only managed to complete them today because all the fan wall posts were referring to the usual joyful moments which brought me back and with fast forwarding I made it through the scenes I didn’t want to see. I am glad I did watch it because it had so many funny, sad and cute scenes this week.

Sol’s grandma’s reactions were interesting too so it will be good to see how that came about.

I am looking forward to seeing how things wrap up with the dodgy cabbie especially now I have accepted it will be weaved into the storyline until the last few minutes of the final episode and so I will just have to fast forward again. I like that it is Taesung’s dad who will solve it.

I don’t know how the relationship will go with the time travel element taking Sunjae’s girlfriend away and leaving her younger unaware self behind like the last time, he has endured kisses and two confessions which didn’t give him the outcome he wanted, so how will he cope even knowing the time travel is the problem. I also wonder if Sol will end up disabled again or if that part of history has changed forever.

Thank you Dramaddictally, I feel like I can visualise your gleeful smiles and giddy sighs while reading the recap, it is infectious. 
Our leads are still fabulous but it was tiring watching Sol continually push Sun Jae away.
Episode 9 had way too much filler. 
Episode 10 was back on track with " the good part (*rubs palms together*)".
Hwaiting.

Gosh, Tae Sung is one of my favorite second leads ever and I don't think I have many (I don't have a list lol!). (I did like True Beauty's second lead back then.) Anyway, he hasn't had much to do. He's been awesome though. Cute and teasing one moment then caring and thoughtful the next. He's also perceptive. Glad he called Sun Jae out about Sol. He took Sol's rejection well too. I hope he remains a good, non-toxic character.

I'm glad that Sun Jae *and* Tae Sung know the truth about Sol.

There were less highlights this week. Yay for the older setting and seeing Sun Jae in his letterman jacket. But the college humor ain't it. Unfortunately, the friend+Sol's brother scenes were still a drag and they took up a lot of screen time. Did not like the upside down kiss at all.

The pettiness between Sun Jae and Tae Sung was again fun. Things were a little dramatic with the overhead light though. It was a good move that they ended it on a funny note.

I actually did not swoon at Sun Jae's last line - being okay about dying from saving Sol. I wanted him to say something along the lines of "we'll figure it out together".

On one hand, I want Sol to do something more to save Sun Jae. However, she has done things like reporting to the police and providing statements/evidence. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe I want her to find new clues on her own or be more analytical about the killer and mystery. She hasn't told her family and Tae Sung commented on this so I wonder if she will eventually inform them and gain support & protection.

Okay these episodes were nice but the best part was the last scene as always, they do surprise me with these twist. And unlike others i don't ship tae and sol but I DO WANT THEM TO BE BFFS, like common they have so much bff energy more than couple energy 🤧. Sol and Sunjae are the most innocent people so it does makes sense they both feel guilty for the actions they didn't do. Sunjae was feeling for not saving Sol for all those 15 years in OG timeline, and now it's sols turn. But I love they don't drag anything.. it's keep interesting. But but just stop with the second leads..they're really getting worse every episode...like there are so many cute second leads I've seen, why couldn't writer write it like them...and with the toilet jokes..I don't know why are they so obsessed with it..but other than that it was lovely.

@dramaddictally Wonderful recap and I have only one point to add which is the acting in the last 5 minutes of Ep 10. Both did a tremendous job and the BTS showed them discussing the approach to that scene. They both are hardworkers and glad their effort is paying.

this drama & ep10's end scene is everything to me

reading this, im tempted to watch now bc of the rivaly and brotherhood because that part seems so real but Sol annoys the hell out of me so ... she just is kind of lost at who she even is. she is not grounded in a personality just built her identity around him. so like, the bromance seems hilarious but with the romance I so hope he will just break up with her and move on.

tell me if there are more scenes between those two doofuses I will watch those.
