Aside from the lovely Sun Sol scenes already mentioned, I like this quiet moment shared between father and son.

And Tae Sung’s reaction seeing Sun Jae’s face on his drink is a big plus! 😆

    I was so happy to see TS’ father. I was little scared for him. This was a very nice scene.
    TS’ comment about the cabbie felt meta – like the writer-nim telling us not to worry about him and just focus on the cuties. 🤣

      I am happy they are both okay.
      I agree we need ro focus on the good guys. TS had very wise words. To me its the writer saying do not give these criminals any power since they are just losers.

        You are right of course. I was quite irritated with the cabbie and wasn’t really interested in his motivations.

        I’m very happy the drama took time to thank Tae Sung. Indeed all the good guys had nice scenes in the finale. Your screencaps are indeed the best moments.

        I like that everyone in this new timeline was happy.

          The cabbie was superfluous. I hope writers will stop mixing murderers in romcoms. That will be the day.

          I like Tae Sung. Best thing is that the writer gave him his own happy ending by having a life well-lived and a good relationship with his father.

          Best thing is that everyone is happy. After Sol’s multiple time travel and chances, she finally got it right.

            Really, getting serial killers out from rom-coms will be a very fine day indeed. 🙌

            I loved Tae Sung as the Eclipse bassist, even as the clothes influencer / seller. While being a detective after that seems boring, it is “family business” after all and he’s happy so I’m glad. In the initial timeline he didn’t seem to share a good relationship with his father and was celebrating his birthday alone. I’m glad the father – son dynamic is good now.

            Eclipse is successful, Sun-Jae is a top star and now Sol is a film director. My heart is full. I’m happy to wish our drama farewell on this happy note.

#LovelyRunner Playlist

I chose this song because of the lyrics below. It reminds me so much of Sun Jae and his pining until the present timeline.


“I know it makes no sense but what else can I do?
And how can I move on when I’m still in love with you?

‘Cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet
And you’ll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I’m not moving, I’m not moving

This song always make me smile. Plus the lyrics matches Sun Jae in previous episode with his hidden smiles. 😊

I like the running gag that Kim Hye Yoon is so tiny that Byun Woo Seok can hide her by wrapping her up in a blanket. 🤣😆😅

Eun-snake is a bastard until the end. 🤦‍♀️😠

It has been a long time since I heard an update about this mystery thriller Nine Puzzles which has Kim Dami and Son Suk Ku as leads. I am very happy to see a post and article about its release date for 2025 in Disney+. It’s still a long wait but its something.😊

How cute was it that Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo were at the 2024 MLB Seoul Series with the other star couples like Son Ye Jin – Hyun Bin and Lee Bo Young – Ji Sung. 🥰😊

    MY TEAM!!! And they were wearing my team’s colors!

    Yes, I know it’s because of Kim Ha-seong, not the Padres themselves. 😆

        I would travel to San Diego to see that! It is super fun to hear the crowd chanting his full name as if he were an idol when he comes up to bat. (Even though they get it backwards – “Ha-seong Kim!”)

    Did you see how the Dodgers were mesmerized by Jeon Jong Seo’s first pitch in one of the exhibition games?

      Were they mesmerized by her pitch, or were they mesmerized by something else? 👀

      In the next game, they were definitely mesmerized by Stray Kids’ Seungmin’s first pitch who threw a strike.

    When they were young, HB and Gong Yoo played together on an all-star amateur baseball team The Playboys, started by Jang Dong Gun. A picture of the team was the first time I saw Gong Yoo and even in a group of stars it made me say, hey who’s that guy??? 😍

    I’m surprised he hadn’t done this earlier! It’ll be interesting to see what kind of stuff he picks.

    I thought he was a real-life chaebol, to begin with. Good for him for managing his own career.

      I didnt know he is chaebol. I suppose with all his education abroad, I do not doubt his family is wealthy.

Just checking the fanwall for spoilers on MD to entice me to watch the episodes this weekend.

I found that there are so little posts about it compared to previous weeks. So I may just put it off for now.

I better get started on Knight Flower then.

    About the gif: they are two of my favorite characters in AJTL, Yang Ying and Yuan Lu. 💕💝

    Ha ha. Looks like the fun ended 😅. At this rate it might be a drop for me. But I do want to know what happens to evil Hyung.
    I also might watch Knight Flower instead now.

      I didnt want to drop this for KYJ but it may end up that way too if I do not like the new episodes. I want to know how they will resolve the OTP’s story so we shall see if I will stick with this. Only 4 eps left.

    A couple days ago I finished A JOURNEY TO HEAVEN oops I mean A JOURNEY TO LOVE. I enjoyed it. I might have enjoyed the two characters above and the band of brothers slightly more than the leads but all together it was a wonderful production. I get how the ending left some people frustrated.

      I returned to kdramaland tonight watching the first 2 episodes of KNIGHT FLOWER and enjoyed them.
      JOURNEY, THE HOPE and a couple of crime dramas kept me in cdramaland for awhile.

        Glad you did it!
        I’m not impressed with “Flower That Blooms at Night,” but I love Honey Lee, so I’ll give it a few more episodes.
        THE HOPE is the only drama I’m really into right now.

          I have watched 20 of 30 episodes of THE HOPE and love Zhang Ruo Yun’s performance as a high school teacher and his odd ball class. I took a little break to finish AJTL. I decided I really didn’t want to miss Jang Dong-yoon in SAND so I started in today watching the first 4 episodes. Another winner for JDY and crew.
          I should be caught up when episode 9 airs this week. One of the most moving scenes so far was between dad (Choi Moo-sung) and Baek-du (JDY) wrestling in the ring. Just beautiful.
          I enjoyed the first 2 episodes of FLOWER. It is my first Honey Lee drama and I can see why she is a favorite.

      I feel the same. The delegation team is the best thing about the show. Yes the ending. It is what it is. I chose to see it in the best light.

        Like you say the ending is what it is.
        After my completion of JOURNEY last night I watched Avenue X’s extended review of JOURNEY on Youtube from a couple of weeks ago. Overall she gave it a very high rating (not the top) but just under the top. What was sad was to hear her describe at the beginning of the review the viscous online abuse that ML Liu Yu Ning was subjected to while AJTL aired. Disgraceful!

        1
        2

          I have only read about the online abuse he was subjected to and not actually read comments. Irregardless, It is absolutely disgraceful. Nobody ahould have to suffer it. Hopefully he has not actually read the actual hateful comments. I would worry about his mental health.

          This was the best I’ve seen from Yuning. He has been improving with every project, so I do not doubt that he has an acting coach or something like that.
          Ning Yuanzhou is Liu Yuning! He finally made a fan out of me.
