Alexander Gotamco

yes u were right at first! pink pillow scenes with business proposal girl were all in 1995 it's a time travel drama! :)))

tatortot

If you wanna see her with Hari together again. You can watch School 2017.

boowiissi

OMG!! The artist school girl is his mom, from when she painted their room

Triple Stooge

The time travel trope is common in kdramas, but I really like the transition in this one! And the way they overlapped scenes from the past and present before he even time travelled was smart. We already know what everyone in the past is up to, so there's no need for exposition for us the audience - we dive straight into our MC being lost in the past 😅 Mr. Queen (which I can't shut up about lol) involves time travel, too, but it takes us back to historical times... hope you guys get to check that one out! 🥹🥹

docKiLia

If ur still confused, they use their Korean age so he’s a junior so he’s actually about 16-17 bc Koreans count birth as 1 and then age a year every new year(Jan 1st) so it’s like 2years ahead of international age.

Talia

Can anyone explain the timeline i don't get how main character is 18 when isn't he in the 4th grade in flashback in first ep i thought that would make him 10 at time but the future timeline only jumps 6 years later?

Georgia D

I swear the first guy in the scene with the bunch of guys giving gifts to the cello girl is the main character flying kid from Moving

Georgia D

Of course we will. Its a just a matter of when we do

Core4VT Reacts

Guys There is a popular series currently on Netflix called Gyeongseong Creature. I am sure you will like it

Hind

Cause its 16 eps ..so 2 a week would be nice if that is okay with you guys? If its too busy then its chill

magnolia

magnolia

Munitty 25

Camp rock 😭😂 jeff cracks me up

magnolia

You guys should watch fabricated city although it’s a movie

Mercy Arabambi

You can also tell by clothing styles, hairstyles and what is shown to be popular in entertainment when it comes to movies, tv shows and music as well. Also by electronic devices they use too. Like for sure in 1995, they didn’t have smartphones or laptops.

Mikkeai8908

Right? Lol. I feel so bad for him. His character is such a sweet guy in this one. I would call him a nickname that suits his character in this one. But the nickname will give away who he is and what his role is. So imma wait until about episode 5 to reveal the nickname.

Mikkeai8908

It’s a nickname they gave to the actor who plays 18yo lee yi chan (male lead’s father). They call him that because in the first drama they’ve seen that actor in had his character constantly sleeping with a pink pillow at his desk. The character’s name was suho. If you want to watch their reaction to that drama it’s called, “weak hero class 1”.

Mikkeai8908

Jeff being so appalled and fixated on what's going on is so real like....that was me I was so invested. whoever wrote this plot line deserves a reward. it keeps you on ur toes

jay

you guys will figure it out soon by the next two episodes but I suggest remembering the names

jay

Who is Pink Pillow? I’m so confused🫤

Precious Lafleur

I know y'all finna be confused until 3 and4 then y'all good

najma mohamed

I'm sayinggg🤣. He redeems himself in this series we swear lmfao😭

I.H.W.T

the reason being he is irrelevant to the storyline😭

Dami

That kinda is a spoiler abt the mom… let them figure it out when they watch it dude

ParkMinJeon

You will not see the landowners son in the future..they won't reveal that character in this show..

Benj Alex

FYI: the bully is irrelevant

Munitty 25

Remember the names... very important to remember names

magnolia

Not yall continuing to call him pervert 😭...my poor guy needs a new nickname

magnolia

The director was smart to show us both timelines and make it seem as if its connected cause it confuses people that haven't seen the trailer

magnolia

Idk if u guys read synopsis of dramas... cause the drama is about him going back to the past so that bully isn't important now so unfortunately we don't see what he looks like 😂

magnolia

Samee lol. I loved seeing the cameos

I.H.W.T

Yesss!! I was so surprised to see him in this show when I first watched it. I love iKON lol

I.H.W.T

When it comes to dramas that involve different timelines, color grading of each scene is the key ;) once you get used to that it'll be easier to follow :))

Mari

Okay also I'm going to reveal something that was shown in this episode but you guys did not caught on when the ML went to the lady's house to collect the guitar it was revealed that the lady was Grandpa daughter and she played the cello( saw it in a picture that was in her house) back to 1995 business proposal lady plays the cello....the dots are connecting

Brittany Smith

the 1995 flashbacks was the ML's 'dad' when he was young, and the girl (hari's bf), well i don't want to spoil it but she's not the ML's mum when she was young..tht's all i can say :))

Neshedha

All the scenes with pink pillow, grandma, and the woman from the business proposal are all in the past 1995. Trust me, most of your confusion will be answered, in episodes 3-4.

Brittany Smith

The main character in this drama is one of the main characters in the weak hero season 2.

BTS ARMY

yes!

Michaela Rosková

isn't the music girl hari's bestie from business proposal ?

cozysans

Yep. And Winner, BigBang, 2ne1, AKMU, etc…

Vatti

Wasn’t IKON from YG (same company as Blackpink)?

miki

The better explain: There was 2 different timelines being shown as though it was real time. One from 1995 and the other from 2023. Everytime it showed pink pillow, it was showing the timeline from 1995 as if it was real time. And everytime it was showing eungyeol (ML) it was showing if it was real time in 2023. At the end, eungyeol (ML) went back in time from 2023 to year 1995. He called him, “dad”, because he realized he just ran into his own father at 18yrs old.

Mikkeai8908

Definitely names helps you keep track of the story and connections between the characters.

Sophia P

ME: "Wait?! Isn't that Ju-Ne???!! The trio that approached him at the park, the middle dude... he's from the kpop group IKON (same company as NCT). I still remember back in the day the fandom beefs comparing Bobby (rapper from IKON) with RM. Glad to see him!

Vatti

I'm watching for the first time along with you guys. Didn't realize this show had so many cameos from the Korean music industry.

Francesca Pizarro

I can't wait for your reaction to episode three! Not gonna lie, this drama is so well written you're going to cry multiple times throughout the season.

Alexandra Maddox

i was confused in the first 2 episodes as well but it’ll get clearer as the eps continue! i would definitely try to remember the characters names so it’ll connect some dots for you guys!

nelli 💌

Yh this is one of the shows that I’d recommend them to acc remember names and not make nicknames😭

Aisha

"I would've never expect this show to be so deep.. called twinkling watermelon" Well it gets deeper 😭

DangaoAkira123

What a plot twist 😂😂

Naomi

just to add it is important to remember the names. ik it’s hard but it helps the story flow better. in current time oh ma jo is the amazing director who has the midas touch that helped the guy in white who was singing become so popular and in 1995 oh ma jo is the friend of the main lead’s dad.

Dami

the dynamic is amazing and it makes u so sad for the dad

Dami

basically they were showing real time and 1995 time. the Main lead’s dad was hearing when he was 18 also in 1995 and is enlisting for a band he wants to make called Fake first lovers as u saw at the end of ep 2. it’s interesting how in current time the dad is upset at his son for wanting to be in a band when his dad literally also at that wanted to start a band.

Dami

It is a little confusing in the beginning but it will be clearer soon. I'm glad you guys are enjoying this show.

Olio4ever

I love how no one warned you guys about the time travel aspect of the show😭😭but yea Toby’s right everything with “pink pillow”/ lee Chan and se gyeong(business proposal) was in 1995. The show just never specified so that it would be a surprise that this young lively boy, who loves music is the same man that just yelled at Eungyeol (ML) for being in a band. I’m so excited cause the show picks up from here🥰👍🏾
