2024-07-10 22:26:16 +0000 UTCMy theory for Sol's halmeoni/granny: "Father Time" is a famous personification of time, often depicted as an old man with a white beard who holds the key to time itself. Here we have "Grandmother Time", an old woman (aka Sol's halmeoni) with grey hair who holds the key (aka Sunjae's watch) to time (aka free will for Sol to be able to mentally travel to a place where she can change bad circumstances). Halmeoni's dementia forces her to mentally travel through time which includes multiple timelines. The upside is she knows what has happened and tries to help. The downside is it mostly prevents her from being lucid in the present. I don't think Sol's halmeoni is an old version of Im Sol. Firstly because there is no physical time travel in this story, only mental time travel. Secondly because that theory is a variation of famous Robert Heinlein scifi story which involves alot of craziness to make it happen. It is funny though that Sol's halmeoni throws Sunjae's watch into the stream at the end so no one else could have it, exactly like how old Rose throws away the diamond into the ocean at the end of Titanic. This writer has nods to several older movies, including Basic Instinct and The Terminator. Speaking of... I like the simplicity of the serial killer being like The Terminator (aka a relentless baddie ‘destined’ to kill them) just like the VHS tape Sol showed Sunjae to explain her time travel situation where the hero’s motto is “no fate but what we make” and Sol & Sunjae then change their fate.
