1. The Tae Seong song. 😂
That was the cutest and most embarrassing thing I've seen in my life. OG Sol is a rock star for having the courage to do that. My respect to that girl.

2. The bestie is really the best. 👌 The 2023 made it seem like Sung Jae was alone or people were against him. But he actually had people that loved him and supported him.
It's obvious that his dad really cares about him. Their father-son relationship seems to be good in general.
And Sung Jae also had such a great friend by his side.

3. Sung Jae's feelings for OG Sol were so pure. It's sad they didn't get the chance to know each other and be friends in the original timeline, but it's nice to see how sincere he was.

And... Can this show please have a serial killer? 😂 Please?
I LOVE this drama, but the main plot is annoying the heck out of me.

I like Sol but I don't like the whole "I can save him" mission, and I seriously don't like the way she's getting things done.

She's manipulating/controlling everything around him. She's trying to stop him to live his life freely. She doesn't want him to make decisions or mistakes because, for some reason, the decision he makes in 2023 is linked to whatever happens in 2008.
But the thing is that she doesn't really know him. She doesn't know why he made that decision. No one knows, not even the people that already were in his life and cared about him.
But she thinks that just changing everything is going to prevent him from dying.

First it was his shoulder, and now it's him becoming an idol. She can't really know if any of those things had to do with his decision, but she's just trying to prevent him from having those experiences. And she thinks she can stop him from making mistakes and that she's there to save him from himself.

But that's not how things work, she can't just control everything around him to prevent him from getting hurt.

So watching her following him everywhere, and telling him what to do and what to not do, and even breaking into his house... She's just lucky he thinks she's cute no matter what she does.

Anyway, if his death is because of a serial killer or something, I think that will make me feel less uncomfortable watching this show. I really like the vibe and energy of the drama, and the characters are adorbs.

Oh, and OG Sol is a good and smart girl. She lived her life and turned out fine. She's became a lovely adult. So I really hope her new growing experience doesn't become too messy because of 2023 Sol.

2023 Sol should try to communicate with OG Sol. Leave her notes like in A Time Called You, idk. It sucks that OG Sol is missing her own life and adolescence, and thinking she's possessed and stuff, because her older version is trying to fix someone else's life. Especially when she only has a few months before the accident that's going to change her life.

The show should've give her the memories that 2023 Sol created, at least. Otherwise,...

This show continues to be magical. The scenes between Sol and Sunjae-ah are so electric and mesmerizing. Kim Hye Yoon's ability to be so straightforwardly earnest, honest and cringey (that birthday video FTW) with so much heart behind it is a tour de force of energy while her crying and sadness in her eyes is so moving. Byun Woo Seok split second switches from reserved to smiley is all types of melty. Even though I have not been enjoying older actors playing high schoolers in recent dramas, it works here--partly because of the vulnerability and underlying insecurity that both actors bring to their younger selves, but also because of the time-travel element, it is believable that an older soul may also be present in the younger bodies and both actors bring that type of gravitas and understanding that comes with age to their younger selves.
I agree that the cinematography is great. The hands, sigh, the hands: the soonest scene of the week may have been SunJae putting his hands close to Sol's when she was asleep in his room. The petal shower (which reminded me of 100 Days My Prince) was beautiful in the midst of all that tension and yearning for connection on both sides.
The fan/true affection theme is present on so many levels. However, I do think that Sol is couching her affection and care for him in the guise of fandom because while she seems to have true feelings for him and seems to see him, she can't actually imagine that he reciprocates as it is hard (or maybe against the idol rules) for an idol to love an individual rather than love a fandom. Another level that the fan theme is working is that I feel like a serious stan for this show--I would wear a headband while watching if I had one.
One concern I did have this week was that Sol's memory loss may not be from the accident or trauma, but instead from CTE or repetitive concussions. How many times did she seriously hit her head this week: the soccer ball, the headbutt, the falling down the stairs, the books falling on her head?? I want to put a protective helmet on her.

Keep carrying on, my lovelies. It's working wonders.

I love the show it is so cute and funny and still includes the necessary depth to prevent it being another inconsequential school drama. It is getting the pacing right with the time travel and return to current times and showing the impact on those who have worked out some things are not quite right in the changes in Sol’s presentation.

The balance between the sad and funny miscommunication between the various characters is also on point; Sungjae’s dad and Sol’s mum, Sungjae and his dad, and most importantly the various conversations between Sol and Sungjae. The friend and the petals and the birthday treat were the funniest scenes and make me laugh out loud just thinking about them. Although, there will never be a scene as funny as the Okey Dokey dance scene from True beauty for capturing the shame associated with embarrassing moments in a teenager’s life.

The pettiness of the swimmer who was still swimming so should have been focusing his energy on getting a top position now his strongest rival was out the picture took things to an all time low by commenting on Sungjae’s mum. I could not believe he went there just because all his other taunts were ineffective.

This has gotten really interesting! I like the back and forth with the different timelines, and the repercussions each Sol has on the other. I'm wondering though what happened in the original timeline. Did he recognize her the first time around when she was stuck in the snow, as well?

During week 1, I was confused as to whether Sun Jae recognized Sol during the radio and on the bridge so I'm glad that was clarified this week. I'm even more curious about what exactly happened in the original timeline that led to her accident (at that same location where she fell into the water this week, I assume)

Originally, I thought maybe the "bad girl" who's interested in Tae Sung may have had something to do with the accident; like maybe she ran her over in a jealous fit. Now, I'm not so sure especially since the appearance of the creepy cab. Sidenote: I know people on here often comment about how there's seemingly NO romcoms or at least no korean romcoms that don't feature a murderer or serial killer or psychopath but this was the first time that came to mind when watching something so it made me chuckle haha. As ominous as it the creepy cab was, I still chuckle at the idea that as wholesome and nice as this drama probably will be, we can't get away from potential murder haha.

I didn't like the fire scene cause ALL I could think was how can not one but TWO people miss an on going fire not even 10 feet away from them? They didn't see it in their peripheral vision? They didn't smell anything? How can you be so absorbed in an argument that you miss a fire?! Also the fact that the guy turned off one thing but not the other just makes me sigh but I suppose it's possible to have some an absent minded moment like that but still, I am not enjoying how the arguments between the guy and the friend seem to give them crazy tunnel vision. It doesn't amuse me at all.

Sun Jae being interested in Sol is quite cute haha. Sol trying so hard is quite sweet.

Is Sol's accident the reason Sun Jae ended up so depressed and suicidal? Is that what needs to change to prevent his death?

Why did Tae Sung asking her to date trigger the time slip back to 2023? He must play a role in things somehow.

Oh, that cringy dedicated happy birthday video haha
An embarrassing moment for Sol, a bright moment for Tae Sung haha

I'm with @vienibenmio that what I really liked in these episodes was that the teenage FL was working counter to the interests of the adult FL. That certainly fit with my experience of the many ways I behaved as a teen that I deeply regret today.

However, I had to give a slight squee of skepticism, when the teenaged FL as a 19 year old, acted in such a cringeworthy baby-talk fashion to the boyfriend she barely recalled as an adult. I did humiliatingly stupid things in my youth, but not because I was acting that far out of my adult character. A person doesn’t change that much between the late teens and the late 20s/early 30s, even if a traumatic accident wipes out her memories.

But that does bring up the idea that occurred to the FL after being saved from drowning in the last episode, that I actually found pretty intriguing. What if the magic watch is not something that is rewriting her timeline, but rather something that is allowing her to recall lost memories? So really, its not magic at all, but rather something Proustian, triggering pre-accident recollections? The photobooth snapshots could have been there all along, with the trauma of the ML’s suicide allowing her to “see” them again, as she remembers her pre-accident past.

Of course, if that is what is happening, then we are all in for sobbing squees, because the show will end with nothing changed, the ML still dead but the FL fully recalling how much the ML loved her.

God knows I checked for this recap like 55,000 times today alone. So, this is the drama that'll bring me back to commenting? Amazing! I've been passive-active on this page, reading both old and new recaps but not commenting but I just have to comment here! I love love this drama so far that I've decided to watch it LIVE (weekly anxiety and all 😂) and enjoy with others.

Now, to the drama. I'm not gonna lie, this drama triggered me a lot, being a SHINee follower. I cried a lot everytime we went to the 2023 scene, especially when Sol was watching the video where they were trying to resuscitate SunJae. However, I still love the drama and I really hope Sun Jae's fate will be changed or elseeeeee.

I have an exam later today, so, gotta go. Looking forward to reading all the amazing comments. Oh! And there's this OST I can't find. Maybe it's yet to drop. It was sung during the petals scene where SunJae tried to confess. It goes:

"Falling falling in love with you"

I love it so much. It was love at first listen. If anyone knows the name of the song, please do lemme know. Byeeeee!

I was laughing so hard when Sol made use of her power!
Glad it wasn't wasted.

I can't believe they already kissed! Gave me some heart flutters, but omg, Sun Jae, you picked the wrong timing! All his overthinking.. and he still messed up lol.

The drama is doing a good job of juggling the cute and heartwrenching parts of the story. Plus the mystery.

I'm not a fan of all the poop and bodily functions jokes, but they weren't a surprise. They also fit the immature, high school vibes.

I'm enjoying all the interactions between Sol and Tae Sung while I can! I won't have SLS and it's gonna hurt later when his heart truly breaks. But right now, I love all their teasing and bickering. I also like the care they have shown each other in different ways like her sage advice and his bandaging of her wound. He also believed her and wanted to help her when she was worried about her house. He's so intrigued by her. I loved him calling her noonim. Then it cracked me up more when he started calling her halmoni (granny).

The time traveling element is fun, but I'm wary if it will all make sense or be convincing by the end of the story. Sooo.... I won't analyze it too much now.

I like Seo Hye Won and it's nice to see her again and in a likely loveline. However, I'm not feeling the romance between her and Sol's brother. How much older is he? Their scenes are silly, not swoony. Even though the writer tried with his slo-mo protect scene. I'd like to see more scenes of In Hyuk instead. The main leads are so fabulous and magnetic that I'm totally hooked on this drama anyway.

I'm concerned about the unknown creeper character who has his eyes on Sol. I was thinking the person behind Sun Jae's death would be enough of a antagonist. There may be too many things going on.

What’s the point of time travel if you can’t even stop your cringiest public display of affection video ever. Lol.

So, when the accident happened this time she didn’t lose her leg? While she did in the OG timeline when she was saved by Sol? I was a bit confused since it looked like there was time until accident when she flipped the calendar.

I am not sure how this will also make sense. But the drama has its moments especially when the leads are together. He is too pretty. Way too pretty.

And please, can we stop with the toilet poop humor.

I have a marathon to write, but before that I need to finish a few things. But swung by to say Thank you to @dramaddictally for a fabulous recap. Reading through this made me realise once more how hard it is to write recaps.

This is a difficult series to summarise because there is so much to and fro.

One final thing from me. I appreciated the metaphor of the FL's friend and the FL’s brother bickering as the fire burned beside them—representing pretty well the hot flame of teen physical attraction.

Of course, this show has not deviated from the standard kdrama portrayal of good guy male lead sexuality as being something that even hormonal teens repudiate or try to suppress. The ML fanning himself when he touched the FL hand is a great example of this, as is his sprinting to put on his shirt when he discovered the FL in his room.

But this unwillingness to expose their naked torsos to girls because of sexual timidity would be absurd U.S. real life. I know this not just from my and my brothers experience in the 1970s, my son's in the 2010s, and even today. Daily a coed group of high school track athletes run by my house, and while the young women are modestly dressed, some in sweats, every young man running with them is shirtless, regardless of the temperature outside. They clearly are under the delusion that their shirtlessness make them attractive to their female teammates, something this show's male lead should have considered when he was trying to confess!

This drama have really charmed me and our two souls need their happiness after everything they been true already!

Find Sol and SJ similar in how they both approaching each other her wanting to warn him and getting closer while him wanting to confess to her, as they both failed and end up embarrassing themself. They kinda have same wavelength. 😅

At the radio show SJ face when he saw Sol phone number clearly he knew it was her on the other end. As the puzzle piece slowly coming together clearly someone have bad intentions and also the reason for Sol time traveling is to regain her lost memory.
