I love how this show portrayed how no act of kindness goes to waste. Im Sol had no real reason to show friendship to the random high-school dropout guy she had a crush on when she was 19. But she did. She convinced him to abandon his rackety lifestyle, dressed his wounds, urged him to consider a parent’s point of view which in turn acted as catalyst for the mending of his relationship with his father, encouraged him to graduate, and praised him wholeheartedly when he did so. All of which (the scolds and the compliments) added up to him finding his purpose and making a good life for himself.

Her sincere and unceasing kindness towards Kim Tae Song in all the timelines gained her not only a friend for life, but the said friend turned out to be the one who ultimately reversed her ill fortune. Saving not only her but the man she loves as well. Thereby securing them a happy future together.

And with one swish of the pen the writer changes one of the most iconic scenes of first love in a kdrama and turns it into an iconic scene of selfless love while firmly placing the narrative on the female lead. Now that is a plot twist I like!

Baek Inhyuk Appreciation Post

I would like to take this moment to give a toast to Baek Inhyuk for watching his loser friend fall in love in every timeline but still supporting his loser antics with all the second hand embarrassment.

Things Baek Inhyuk has done till now to support his loser best friend Ryu Sunjae.

Made cherry blossoms fall from the sky.

Hauled his drunk ass from a bar with Taesong

Gave his friend the concept of "timing"

Watched him fuck up the timing and listen to him talk about how stunning Sol is. All. The. Time.

Wore many rings on his fingers

SANG AT SOL'S NEPHEW'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

TOLD HIS FRIEND TO SHUT TF UP AND KEEP A LID ON HIS LOSER ANTICS TO NOT FUCK UP THE PLAN

CAME WITH PETALS AGAIN ON THE BOAT

Picked up the petals because it wasn't the right time. (Sunjae ya I'll beat you up)

Watched Sol and Sunjae be lovey dovey all the time and stopped himself from upchuking the dude cause I would have.

Everyone say 'Thank you Inhyuk' for showing us what kind of best friend we need.

Edit: ALSO GOT BEAT UP BY RYU SUNJAE WITH A PILLOW AND STOPPED HIM FROM BEATING UP KIM TAESONG

New Korean BL - Jazz for Two

Tae Yi (Song Han Gyeom?) hears a familiar melody filling the empty halls and makes his way to the old music room. He knows his brother is dead, but he can’t help but hope, maybe, just maybe...it’s his brother playing his favorite song. When he slams open the door, however, he finds Se Heon (Kim Jin Kwon), a new transfer student, at the piano. Disappointment comes crashing down and Tae Yi can’t control his anger. How dare Se Heon play his brother’s song? How dare he smile? How dare he say he loves jazz?

“If I ever catch you playing the piano again...that’ll be the end of you.”

And with that begins Tae Yi and Se Heon's story, as unpredictable and visceral as jazz. (Source: BLUPDATE2022 Twitter via MDL)

Adapted from the webtoon "Jazz for Two" (재즈처럼) by Keul Ra Jyu (클라쥬)

Stars

Song Han Gyeom (prev A-Day), Omega X (rapper)

Kim Jin Kwon, Newkidd (leader, sub-vocal)

Byun Sung Tae - lead in Happy Merry Ending

Ko Jae Hyun - side in To My Star

Thoughts

With two active idols in the leads (we think), odds are not great on this one. So far the only truly successful execution of solid BL from active idols has been Semantic Error (and frankly KNK barely counts). Plus this is the production team/director behind A Shoulder to Cry On which I HATED, so yeah...

I'm excited to have anything new from Korea but I'm keeping my expectations low.

My idols in BLs tracking is here (possibly not updated). This won't get on the list until after it releases. Never count your idols until after the BL has hatched.

I just realized something!

When Sun-Jae and Tae-Sung get tipsy in EP11, the song they are drunkenly singing as they run down the corridor is the cringeworthy birthday song Sol sang for Tae-Sung!

Do you know what this means?!

Tae-Sung took the time to teach it to Sun-Jae and they then used Sol's name for the chorus! What a couple of dorks!

P. S. I'm now picturing present timeline Sun-Jae sulking after he recalls that song's backstory and then begging Sol to sing it to him, swapping Tae-Sung's name for his!

[storiesabound]

But what was Kim Tae Song doing in front of Sol's house in Ep 8 🧐

Is he time-travelling too?

[krautundkimchi]

Im Sol gave the lottery numbers to her brother not to ensure he or the family gets rich, she knows they never needed it to be happy, but so that her best friend does not regret choosing her brother. She did it for their future happiness.

And you dare question her intentions?

[dreamingoffictionalcharacters]

Every time I see a pinecone now all I can think of is Sol and the pinecone scene with Sun Jae and Tae Sung. "Sol, Sol, Sol, Sol", I say to myself just like Sun Jae did!

[kimmyungcanjunot]

Us, the fools, the naive, the hopeless: Tae Sung deserves better than to be 2ML.

The writers, laughing at us, knowing he is actually the hero of this story: Okay, we hear you, just wait.

Can you do a web weaving post on 'home'

as a knife

as a goodbye

as longing

as something peaceful, a resolution; final.
