Beanie level: Rooftop room dweller

Ep6 – all she had to do was shout Hyun Bin married SJ and she could run away from the cabbie

    but also imagine SJ’s guilt if something happens to her… he called her out when she was adamant to not step out

    Probably that is how she will save herself. I didn’t get why she didn’t use it with the drunk guy.
    There is a lot of ways to go about if she is not saved by SJ but does it herself. Meaning it is not guilt that he is feeling now but “anger” towards her.

      absolutely love the idea of anger… and the deliciousness it can bring

    That would have been so fun! Like, we should be allowed to be really afraid (except for plot armour) that now she was going to get killed and most certainly lose mobility, and then: “HYUN BIN MARRIED SJ!” … she just disappears from sight for that cab driver and he doesn’t know what hit him when he looks again and sits tied up with his own rope in his car. 🤣🚕

Scarlet Heart Thailand announced with an amazing cast (atleast the main MLs).
1. FL is not a good actress but thankfully it is more of MLs acting that matters
2. Nanon would KILL IT; very apt (infact the only one) who can do justice to iconic Lee Jung Gi’s role (assuming he is playing the role)
3. Win will definitely do justice to the sweet guy KHN role
4. Other guys, most of them are good actors…but sad that pretty sure they will also suffer with less airtime
5. Perth – ah!.. Don’t know what character he will play but he is the next most talented guy after Nanon in that cast

The best part, no matter how bad you do you just can’t do worse than what crap Korean version was… who remembers the two separate edits and show being released each week (lol.. Then people would compare and choose the narrative that felt best… ha ha because the order of scenes would also be different changing the narrative)

All time GOAT award for worst editing ever

Does anyone think the reason Sol doesn’t remember her accident is because, well, it wasn’t the 19 yr Sol who was being chased but rather the 34 yr old Sol..

I went back and checked ep 1. Guess what, in original timeline, the friend said that Sol’s crush aka TS got into a fight with students from next school AFTER HER ACCIDENT. He was not expelled but asked to leave the school.

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!!!
TS was also in love with Sol. 100% those kids would have made fun of her legs and he fought them.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!!
We know TS is falling in love with the time travel Sol…

AKA A TIME LOOP IS IN PLACE…

Some other nice things:
1. Sol bought the watch for 3K. It flickered once in the morning of concert and then in the pond at exact time SJ died
2. Accident happened before 22nd July 2009 because that’s when ep 1 opens with Sol in the hospital and radio call happens the next day. So, 1st sep date for accident is meaningless.
3. Likely, she was being chased by cabbie because he thought she was a witness. In ep 5, we know a body was found at the same place. Actual accident has been reverted but not obliterated from the timeline. Cabbie is still after Sol. 100% the dead body is of the drunk guy

So I had to read up on Exhuma plot after watching it because it felt so underwhekming (bad subs).
But, dear lord, once you read the explanations, this is such a nice movie. More of historical shamanism sorts genre, but I think the script is taut and the mystery is genuinely good (once you read about it .. Lol)

exhuma – watched it, subs are really really bad… nothing out of the ordinary for its genre (we recently had one with kim tae ri)… but watchable ( i guess would have enjoyed more if subs were better and japanese portion was subbed even if somewhat

It would be fun that after their little outing, the memories basically come back and say

“Nope, explored Germany but not leaving. We want to go back to Korea and chill. Also, as a society we don’t trust non koreans and are heavy believers in power of oriental medicine. Korean doctor did not operate (heck Seon hwa should have operated) so we refuse the treatment”

don’t follow music much but can someone confirm if MJackson was ever absolved of the pedophilia. If not, why do people support him? Is talent >>>> being human?

    He was never offically accused. He always got agreements with all the victims, but if you go through the documentary (the one in Netflix, good luck with that I couldn’t finish it) it’s a fact that he was a monster. He also was a music genious, and it happens so many times that artists are monsters (Polansky, Chaplin, Picasso) and you will always be conflicted on loving the art but hating the man.

    As for me, I have never listened again to his music.

      hmm.. apparently netflix documentary is not even remotely correct and witnesses were paid etc to bring this story. There is another documentary where people talk about how MJ was not wrong… so you have college kids who went to same college as the kids who accused MJ, and they said that these kids were shady .. or how evidences are not right…

      arrgh… it is so annoying and frustrating to choose between innocent until proven vs be cautious and not promote alleged criminals in these kind of cases to avoid creating new victims…

      anyway, guess we will never know

        Anyway, an adult sleeping with children because he was a child at heart is, at least, weird. I never believed there was anything pure or innocent in it, so as much as I like his music I decided not to listen. Proof? Nine, just my guts.

For people watching Blood Free, ML Is not married. His sister lives in the US and he adopted a girl from his camp who is the child, and now his mom and that child have moved in with his sister in the US

    Yes, as a Blood Free watcher, I do hear you, but it is my impression from something you said on the recaps that you’re getting your certainty about this, as well as the additional information about the adoption, from information not contained in the drama itself. On Dramabeans, that’s “spoiler territory.”

    On the Fan Wall, pretty much anything goes, so spoilers are certainly allowed–although warnings are appreciated (like by saying the title of the drama first thing which you absolutely did do)–but I did want to stick up for those like myself who might want to let the drama alone tell us what Chae-woon’s family situation is.

      you are being super sensitive for sthg that is already shown.. and rest you can put under guess.. still not a spoiler.. theories are always theories.. and genuinely at this point it is crystal clear that ML is not married.

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.

She was the girl next door love with Lee Jong Suk
She was so perfect with Park Hyung Shik

        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)

        What is crazy is that the drama is trending on X and everyone is talking about it. So how come the ratings are low?

            I didn’t mean everyone on X, I meant that so many people on the internet on multiple forums keep posting about the drama

            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

#better than the useless I can’t die but will save the world power

    also anytime she is in danger of any accident, she needs to revert to being dispatch.. like drunk man.. scream couples and run away

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.
