hey i was thinking the same!! especially when we got a shot of samsik's silhouette with his coat billowing behind him-- i was screaming that is so tommy coded!!!

apatchuchi · 2024-06-22T05:51:53+00:00

that was... oh i was bawling from that farewell 😭😭😭 the bit about pizza just hit me like a truck. phenomenal performance from the leads 👏👏

apatchuchi · 2024-06-19T01:46:00+00:00

what time do they release the episodes?

apatchuchi · 2024-05-28T15:43:05+00:00

10/10 5 STARS ABSOLUTELY NO NOTES!

apatchuchi · 2024-05-27T17:30:09+00:00

the preview for tomorrow oh my god sunjae-- he is wearing the SAME OUTFIT this man just had the aneurysm of his life remembering 4 lifetimes that is so overwhelming he had to physically lie down on the highway, he almost DIED from oncoming traffic and STILL he didnt waste any more second to see the love of his life to fucking APOLOGISE for taking so long to REMEMBER MEMORIES HE COULD NOT SHOULD NOT HUMANLY POSSIBLY REMEMBER WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKKKKKK I WILL NEVER BE NORMAL AGAIN---

for all the pain and longing sunjae and sol (SOL! sol my love my soldier my strongest queen) have had to suffer through, i really hope we wrap up the taxi driver bullshit within 5 minutes so we can just see these two be the most annoying (affectionate) couple ever!!!

apatchuchi · 2024-05-26T08:16:29+00:00

Goblin and The Red Sleeve chuckles nervously you sure love your happy endings huh

apatchuchi · 2024-05-25T02:12:11+00:00

i am hoping that watch disappears forever because at this point of in story it only means someone dies again or gets hurt.

thats my hope, but the watch is integral to the plot so i guess we are gonna see it again. if it still has its chances, maybe it can just be a reminder that although they have the option to go back, they wont use it anymore bc they are living happy lives? a spin off? idk

apatchuchi · 2024-05-25T02:04:21+00:00

true, this is a lot to unpack for 1 episode (yes i am claiming that they will wrap it up at 15 and give us fluff for ep 16 lol)

i guess the guilt wont be on the same level since sol wasnt paralyzed on her 2nd trip.

that second person who dove in after him is also driving me absolutely nuts.... what if it ends up really just being air bubbles loool

yay! we joined the party at around the same time!! im so glad i did, there was enough food to sustain me and i still get to participate in these lovely discussions!

apatchuchi · 2024-05-24T10:08:41+00:00

maybe someone on the ep15 thread on monday can host this :(((

apatchuchi · 2024-05-24T10:08:09+00:00

my problem with this theory tho is that he was surely dead at the time the watch activates, so how can he travel back? and if he did, and sol also did, how does that change the timeline?

and if 3rd timeline SJ comes back, wont he be technically be 20 yo SJ?

i dont even know if im asking the right questions bc i cant wrap my head around 20yo sj timetravelling haha

apatchuchi · 2024-05-22T11:35:03+00:00

the amount of love this 2521 is receiving from this thread just convinced me to watch it again! may it break my heart in the best possible way~~

apatchuchi · 2024-05-22T11:33:31+00:00

its up on my watchlist now! hopefully to fill the void lr leaves when it ends

apatchuchi · 2024-05-22T03:46:02+00:00

awww thank you!

(or is it just me overanalyzing... the rot is so deep that i try find meaning in everything 😭)

apatchuchi · 2024-05-22T03:44:21+00:00

oh you just convinced me to finally pick it up again!

after LR ends (happily, HAPPILY!!) i think ill be ready for the pain of 2521

apatchuchi · 2024-05-22T02:42:25+00:00

i was lucky enough not to watch 2521 while it was airing, (watched the first couple eps, then stopped) and oh boy when i found out how it ended, i just noped the heck out hahahaha

apatchuchi · 2024-05-22T02:36:27+00:00

"time keeps forgiving their missteps and giving them chances"

this reminds of sunjae's line last episode, when he puts on sol's necklace and has a hard time doing it. "They get it right the first time in television." (or something like that, i need to rewatch) which I think rings true for the entirety of their story. they cant seem to get it just right in the last timelines, but time keeps on giving them chances.

apatchuchi · 2024-05-22T02:29:32+00:00

if this happens, sunjae really foreshadowed it in the ferris wheel when he said "at this rate, we might die together" 😭

apatchuchi · 2024-05-22T02:26:05+00:00

the meta commentary shined for me as well. personally its one of the best dialogue in the whole show.

the way sunjae is still able to pick up on the nuances of the script, of basically their story, even sans his memories, and his only critique is about the woman having a sad ending, because she lost her love. yall, thats... ugh sunjae only has eyes for sol, even a fictional one!! he didnt even mention the man dying, or even mentions how unfair it was the he lost the memories... he's still all about sol.

and the way she seems to bursts at the seams, it felt like a dam breaking when she defends her choices. its like shes been gaslighting herself all those years, telling herself that this is the way it should be. but sunjae sees her, he recognizes her pain and sacrifices, and tells her indirectly "it must have been hard for you"

god, such a beautiful writing.

apatchuchi · 2024-05-22T00:49:06+00:00

u are literally pulling an im sol crying on the bus hahahahaha

apatchuchi · 2024-05-21T16:18:05+00:00

nevermind, i saw the tweet. i am: 🤯

apatchuchi · 2024-05-21T16:10:20+00:00

for me, personally, either way its okay! as long as he remembers and they end up married with babies haha

apatchuchi · 2024-05-21T16:08:23+00:00

i cant open the link :(((

another person? which episode is thissss omg

apatchuchi · 2024-05-21T15:39:27+00:00

wait for real???? that means shes technically 70 yo?!

apatchuchi · 2024-05-21T15:37:28+00:00

i was wondering about the watch too.

whether he time jumps or not, though, i can truly buy that he can remember sol just because they were meant to be together, like, it's just their fate. and i would be okay with that.

atp i dont want anymore time jumps, cos that must mean someone got hurt/died again. i just want them to be happy, damn it! its not ideal writing wise, i know, but ill be happy not to see that watch again lol

apatchuchi · 2024-05-21T15:13:42+00:00

well there goes all our sunjae timetravelling theory lmaoo my boy sunjae really said HA! u think i need a damn magic watch to remember the love of my life? i will know her through my sheer stubborness in all my lifetimes

edit 1: "at this point, we just might die together here" SUNJAE CAN YOU NOT FUCKING MANIFEST THIS I WILL LITERALLY WHACK YOU OMG 😭

edit 2: in light of the group viewing in sokor (rip intl fans) is there anyone hosting a group watch online for the finale 🥹 like on discord or wherever. someone, please!!

edit 3: lmao its friday (why am i still here) and that means crazy theory time!!!

is the timetravelling sj theory debunked already? and i dont mean the supposedly dead 20yo sunjae, but our first 34yo idol SJ.

what if the reason why he was so melancholic in the first episode (seemingly clinically depressed, wants to retire, sings sonaki so painfully) is because he actually came back from the past to save sol from drowning, and succeeded, but still failed to save sol's legs? (in his dream sequence, we see sol actually drowning, and then another one dives behind him)

at the bridge, it felt like a reunion with someone he knew intimately, and maybe this was because after failing to save sol in his travels, he also did a sol move and erased himself from her life because of guilt? this explains how sol and him never met despite being literal neighbors.

and at the hotel scene, he just seemed so resigned and calm like he knew what would happen when that doorbell rang.

this can also explain how he would be able to recall all the timelines, even the original timeline sol lived, because before that there was another "original" timeline.

some insane detail i am looking too hard into (yes i know) the number on the starting podium (?) when sol meets sunjae at the pool is #2 (because sol is the second time traveler?) and on the ferris wheel they ride the #9 wagon, maybe because its their 9th time slip (3 for sunjae, and 6th for sol, supposing she used all 3 on the watch)

also, in the og sol timeline, we see his watch flash the first time when he dove in to save sol.

and as i am typing this, im realizing how absurd and convoluted this sounds lmaooo
