#my friend believes tae-sung is time jumping to save his father which ig is possible too

[lastofthe20thcenturygirls]

who rang the doorbell not being shown is so suspicious to me so as much as i hate it i believe kim tae-sung killed sun-jae.

in the OG timeline sun-jae was pushed off from the balcony. the balcony and the door were on opposite sides of the room. would sun-jae let the guy who kidnapped sol and then attacked them both later inside his room? i don't think he would forget that face or even if he did forget he still wouldn't just let any stranger into his room being an idol dealing with sasaengs everyday. his death was easily ruled as a suicide because there mustn't have been any signs of struggle. sun-jae was a former athlete and an idol and an actor (he must be trained in some fighting technique at least) no way it would be so easy to push him off. UNLESS it was someone he knew they cross the room to the balcony while talking and then out of nowhere he's pushed from the balcony.

when sol was forced back to the present the first time it happened when kim tae-sung asked her to be his girlfriend and then in 2023 sun-jae was still dead. what exactly was the trigger there that she leaped back to the present??? it did seem out of nowhere. as much as sun-jae liked her i don't think the butterfly effect of his crush being asked out by just some guy leads to his death once again especially knowing that he didn't even kill himself. i mean sun-jae would still try to save sol whether she's somebody else's girlfriend or not but why exactly did sun-jae seeing tae-sung ask sol to be his girlfriend brought her back to 2023? unless it had to do with tae-sung himself.

when the second time sol went back to 2023 it was after getting saved from the taxi driver. sun-jae and the detective both prevented the taxi driver from hitting her which changed the present where she could walk and sun-jae did not live in any guilt. this was a huge change it makes sense why she ended up in the present right after that. now comparing this to tae-sung asking her out in front of sun-jae later falls short of being a trigger enough to send her back to 2023.

sun-jae used to wear that watch everyday and was ofc wearing it during the original kidnapping. sol bought it later as a fan so emotionally they're both tied to it. the watch has been a witness to it all. when tae-sung asked sol to be his gf there was a focus on the watch and she was back in '23 but not after the accident prevention scene. tho she still went back. why did she go back ending the first jump bothers me a lot. the watch knows something we don't...

in the current timeline sun-jae was stabbed in the hotel by the taxi driver there was struggle and he's not dead yet. it was very easy for everyone to guess the taxi driver killed sun-jae originally too then why not show who rang the doorbell? there is a significance to that doorbell from the original time that even IF this time it was rung by the taxi driver it wasn't shown.

the drama is only halfway through it just can't be so easy that the only mystery left is not knowing what exactly happened during "the incident" 14 years ago. sun-jae is in surgery after getting stabbed and isn't dead yet. streets have been saying since last 2-3 weeks that sun-jae will jump to the past too this time to their uni days. sun-jae wouldn't remember the past that sol changed so he wouldn't know who killed him originally. he himself would think of the taxi driver as the real danger. there was mystery to sol's accident because she forgot about getting kidnapped. for sun-jae (and sol too) it should be not knowing who is the real killer.

tae-sung's motive: he was outside sol's building only because he's tracking the taxi driver (who has enough motive to want to kill sol and sun-jae) that's what i want to believe but brain once again says it can't be so easy. it's a 16-episoder after all!

i don't believe tae-sung is just in the story to only be the second lead love interest and a jealousy device (also not forgetting the trend lately is of the second lead guys being killers). in episode 1 sol asks her friend what happened to "him" and she tells sol he left school (bc of some incident i forgot what exactly she said). idk why but his mention in episode 1 seemed of importance. next episode he's introduced and he's a fun guy who's lonely his detective father is too busy to even remember his birthday. he's also a member of the band with baek in-hyuk and eventually this is the band sun-jae becomes a part of. he originally didn't have feelings for sol she and him did not date. but however it happened sun-jae becoming a part of eclipse remains the same throughout the timelines as of now. did something happen between them for tae-sung to hate sun-jae or did he just leave the school for personal reasons only? in the changed past he started having feelings for sol but she actually likes sun-jae (trying to kill someone because of your crush 15 years later is quite petty and not a good enough reason for a cool guy like tae-sung)

for something that hasn't been revealed yet i am way too sure that his detective father dies but going along this thought process... in both the timelines tae-sung's father must have been murdered trying to catch the creepy taxi driver. in both the timelines sun-jae was with sol (saved her from him near the reservoir and on the road where tae-sung's father's car intervened) and during 'the incident' (which as of ep8 hasn't been revealed yet) there too sun-jae was with her. sol, sun-jae, taxi driver and the detective all are important to why sun-jae was murdered in 2023.

as much as we love to call it a romcom it never really was just a romcom with time travel. sol being in the wheelchair because of the accident was never just an accident and sun-jae's 15 years of guilt towards her were all tied to the taxi driver which is tied to the detective possibly investigating him and by extension to his son as it does affect tae-sung if his father dies making him as important as these four in all of this.

ik i am giving too much importance to tae-sung's father but he seemed important to the story even with the 3 scenes he appeared in and i am so sure he dies (gonna be so funny when it's revealed he didn't die) BUT if this happens then some eclipse related matter, sun-jae having all the fame & money (which to anyone would look like he's living da life), his father's death (add sol to the equation now because of the changes) there's enough for tae-sung to hold a deadly grudge against sun-jae...
