Jang Ki Yong Turned Out to be Chun Woo Hee's Saviour In The Atypical Family Episode 8
With episode 8, I think it's clearer now what's happening and what timeline we're all looking at. Bok mom's power is precognitive vision through her dreams and from the very first episode of this series, she had been vocal about dreaming of Da Hae wearing the Bok family's ring and it was Gwiju who gave that ring to Da Hae. Now let's simplify and connect the dots:
Bok mom- dreams- FUTURE
Gwiju- time travel- PAST (Da Hae's future)
It just meant that both Bok mom and Gwiju's powers are all related to Da Hae's past and it'll soon become their future. In the PRESENT time, there exists 2 rings, which is originally only 1 ring. I assume that it was Gwiju's clear sign that he's the one who will save Da Hae in the past during the fire incident to do not cease existence in the present. It's actually pretty cool if you think about it.
But what I still don't understand in this whole thing is that, what is the story trying to achieve?
1. To cure the modern problem that made Gwiju's powers disappear? (depression)
2. To save Gwiju's senior colleague from dying? Is there really a possibility to change this when he's already burried?
3. To save Da Hae to correct all of their timeline again. (gwiju, mom and da hae)
I think it's 1 and 3. I'm not yet convinced that Gwiju's gonna alter the past with senior colleague coming back to life in the present.
WAAAAH I need more episodes to clear the cloud in my mind! kkk
How about you?? What are your assumptions/theories about what's going on with The Atypical Family?
Byeon Woo Seok Successfully Proposes to Kim Hye Yoon In Lovely Runner Episode 16
That ending was so good! Sol and Sun Jae revolves entirely in the past and present time but with that one kiss, after the marriage proposal, they foresee the future together. It's definitely going to be happily ever after for the both of them together. Endings like this is really satisfying, after the long run of the story which is filled with difficulties and dramas, it ends with a reward of happiness. Ain't it beautiful? Better ending than Queen of Tears tbh. hahaha! I'm so sorry for always bringing up QoT with my every post about Lovely Runner, I just couldn't help comparing the two of them. Maybe because I haven't moved on from getting scxammed of the QoT series. Yes, I felt so disappointed with the ending that it made me question whether my time was wasted or not watching it. I was so hyped for the 1-14 episodes because they were absolutely my style only to end up in such a bad written finale. Sigh... I think the last time I felt so disappointed like this in a Kdrama ending was Doctor Cha. This is why I am so happy with Lovely Runner because it has a well written ending and definitely it was all worthwhile watching the whole run of the show. It deserved the hype! Congratulations to the whole cast and production of Lovely Runner! It was an unexpected success/hit drama for them after all.

Anyways, since it'll be the last time I'll talk about the episodes of Lovely Runner here in the blog, I'm gonna appreciate Tae Sung's character here more. I've been thinking about Tae Sung's purpose in the early part of the show, I'm convinced that he won't become another Seojun (True Beauty) as a 2nd male lead because he's nowhere to be found at crucial moments of Sol at all. And there at the last part of the story, he became the hero catching Kim Young Soo who's been the main problem/root cause why Sol and Sun Jae repeat having the same unfortunate fate. But it all ended because of him, even Sun Jae's aware of it that's why he was so thankful for him despite their childish rivalry. hahahaha! Even though he became the hero, he still didn't get the girl though. hahahah! Anyways, he instantly became an unforgettable character because when you think about SolJae now, there's Tae Sung the 2nd male lead who saved both of them that's why they lived a happily ever after. The End.
Now, would I recommend this drama?! Definitely YES! Although I've had struggles sticking with it in the early episodes of the series, it definitely was worth staying because 2nd half of the show was a blast!!!

Byeon Woo Seok Remembered Kim Hye Yoon in Every Timeline in Lovely Runner Episode 15
Wow, this episode 15 really brought me to tears. That trip down to memory lane of Sun Jae really pulled my heartstrings, it really made me think that they've been through and sacrificed a lot for each other. The time travel and how they protect each other in their own ways were real proof of how much they love each other and it's so wonderful to watch a love story like this. This is only my opinion but this drama Lovely Runner really exceeds the story telling of true love between two people. I know there's no need to compare it to anything but I feel like there's a need to say this, Lovely Runner is better than Queen of Tears on this regard in my opinion. Story telling, although really confusing at times, Lovely Runner felt like it's telling the greatest love story of all time when you actually watch it and not think of anything else. Episode 15 connects everything from their past to the present and I love it so much. No need to get hit by a car and survive it like supernatural being on the 15th episode just to call the man the greenest flag of all/risk taker for the love of his life. lol Sun Jae exceeds that just by staying Sol's side and protects her from the very beginning till the end. Sigh... oh to have Sun Jae in one's life is just a huge blessing! I hope we can have our own version of that in our lives.
The purpose of the 2nd lead, Tae Sung, in the story of Sol and Sun Jae became clear too. The way he became the police in charge of the taxi driver case was really on point. It's not just a mere love triangle that we're all used to witness, it's a love triangle that serves a purpose and that's to help out in chasing and catching the main problem of Sun Jae and Sol since day 1. I find it really nice how Tae Sung was the son of the previous police in charge of this case. It's like, "leave it to me, pops. I'll take it from here" kind of thing and it made Tae Sung's character even more cool to me! Waaaah!
Anyways, last episode tonight!!! I'm excited for this because upon seeing the preview for the next episode, it feels like we're definitely going to have a happy ending! WAAAAH DESEEEERRVVEEE!!!

Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon's Fate Keeps Repeating, Will there be a Chance for A Happy Ending? | Lovely Runner Episode 14
This is so confusing, I thought that they managed to capture Kim Young Soo in the past? There were no news that he got away from the police or so, that's why I thought that Sol and Sunjae will finally have a chance at love this time around. But then again, why wouldn't Sol want to be with Sun Jae if that's the case? Then that explains why Young Soo was still out there in the present. Sigh... We're honestly going circles since the early episodes until the finale, if it weren't for the chemistry between the 2 leads, I don't think this would get hyped at all.
Anyways, Sun Jae having the 'Hong Hae In syndrome' wherein his heart somehow recognizes Im Sol. lol He's having deja vu, dreams about his past lifetime, all these experiences were because of Sol's story about a woman who turned back time 15 years ago to save the man she loves. Yes, this is Lovely Runner, you honor. kkk
Only 2 episodes left for this drama, if Sun Jae died in the finale, it would feel like the whole series became pointless. lol I mean, we're all made a fool for watching a woman return 4 times in the past (3 chances from her watch from Sunjae auction + Sun Jae's watch in ep 13) if Sun Jae still die in the present. The story wasn't that deep tbh, since we've been circling around with no changes at all, it just basically proved how much Sun Jae and Sol love each other. That's basically what this love story is all about and we're all hooked because of that.

Chun Woo Hee Breaks Jang Ki Yong's Heart In The Atypical Family Episode 6
May 19, 2024
Jang Ki Yong Discovered Chun Woo Hee to be Present in his Unforgettable Memory of the Past In The Atypical Family Episode 5
The latest episode of the Atypical Family was really good! I didn't expect that twist about Da Hae telling the truth about that fire incident in her school, Seonjae Girls' High School. The time where I-na was born and the fire incident happen where Gwiju kept on coming back, the person that got stocked at the 5th floor storage of Seonjae Girls High School was none other than Do Da Hae. Wow!
Finding out that she has an awful past made me sympathize with her. I swear, I got so pissed off by her in this episode because she always uses her pity card with Gwiju just to get away from getting busted with her lies. But after that last scene, everything got washed away. lol I mean, she's really pitiful but I know that this shouldn't be an excuse for her to do something evil like deceiving people to gain wealth.
As per I-na's vision of her thoughts, Da Hae's biological mom didn't care about her, her father died as an alcoholic, then a loan shark who asked payment for her dad's debts became her mom, she also got bullied at school reason why she got stuck in that storage room even when the fire broke. When no one tried to find her, she felt helpless and all alone in her life... that's when a help from a man came. I'd assume, for now, that it was Gwiju's senior colleague who died from the fire. But I have a gut feeling that it'll turned out to become Gwiju who will save Da Hae in the end. This is so freaking awesome!
Tbh, I see a lot of viewers that didn't like the story of this drama or where it's going because it wasn't a typical plot for a Kdrama where the female lead does not possess the 'role model' kind of character. Da Hae is a scammer in this story after all. Some of the viewers dropped this drama already because of that, but for me, I really am enjoying every bits of it so I'm gonna stick with it till the end. It's not always we see something different for a Kdrama story after all.
Bok family is starting to get suspicious of Da Hae after knowing the background of the person Da Hae calls to be her mom. But they still couldn't discard Da Hae yet because of Bok mom's dream. She only dreams about a family member after all (aside from stocks and sweepstake results), reason why she believes that Da Hae is the one who will save Gwiju and will become part of their family in the end. However, I-na already knew all along about Da Hae since the first time she read her mind. She was playing along with her because she felt like she's the lesson that Gwiju's mom deserves and because she also pitied her.
Waaaah! I really am so excited for this drama! It's been a while!

Jang Ki Yong and Chun Woo Hee Shared a Passionate Kiss in The Atypical Family Episode 4
We found out in this episode that the woman that Da Hae called to be her mom wasn't actually her biological mother. She was a loan shark who went to Da Hae's father's funeral and ask her to become responsible to her father's debts. Later on, with Da Hae no longer having a guardian by her side, this loan shark lady offered to become her new guardian but in expense of something else and that's becoming one of her minions. That's how Da Hae today is part of the scamming schemes of this lady. Da Hae couldn't easily get away from her. Even though she insisted on getting another target because she recently found out that Bok family has special powers, loan shark mom denied her plea and gave a tip to proceed with their plans.
Speaking of this tip, loan shark mom told Da Hae about Gwiju's weakness and it's about the fire incident where his senior colleague had died. They really are desperate in getting the last money/property of the Boks that's why they are using their weaknesses against them. It's just sad that Da Hae is the one executing their plans. The Boks were so nice to her (except Dong Hee) and yet she still decided to deceive them. It's gonna hurt for sure when that time comes where they finally find out about Da Hae's real motive in approaching them. Anyways, I still am believing that there's something special with Da Hae that's somehow connected with the super powers of the Boks. What if she's some kind of 'avatar' in their clan. lol You know, same concept that she's the savior of them all. It's just that her powers aren't awake yet that she has no idea she has powers. kkk That's gonna be awesome!
The ending scene, Da Hae forged a marriage registration form and lied to Gwiju about him giving it to her. She's really taking advantage of his power now for their own benefits. Waaaah! But then, of course, Gwiju was doubtful he'll do such a thing and therefore, instead of just easily conforming to that 'event' that is yet to happen, he wanted to ignite some feelings between them first. Tbh, even if Gwiju looked doubtful, him trying to ignite some feelings between them was more like a preparation of the future. He wouldn't want to get married without feelings after all. And that's how the kiss happened! AHHH! The turn of events are exciting but I'd be lying if I said that I'm not scared of it. I mean, Da Hae needs to stop digging her own grave by stop scamming people. She needs to change quick or else she'll hurt people around her that truly cares for her.

Lee Je Hoon and Seo Eun Su are Expecting a Baby In Chief Detective 1958 Episode 8
Episode 8 really made me so mad with young criminals who thought they could get away with their crimes just because they're protected by the law due to their 'young' age. The episode started with Yeonghan and chief Yu talking about parenthood, that it takes a lot of guts to be parents then they worked on this case with an ungrateful and psychotic son murdering his own parents. Sheesh. He should get sentenced to life imprisonment but since he's still young he'd only get sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment. Other than this case Sangsun and Gyeonghwan worked together on catching the snatchers and they also happened to be teenagers who blames injustice that they've experienced because of the government and their officials. The world is really made up of a lot of flaws made by evil humans. Imagine bringing your own child to this kind of world. And that's why we need some clean ups, we need people like Yeonghan and the others to lead a better world.
Anyways, I am so happy that Hyeju finally has some good news to share. In the last and the start of this episode, we get to see Hyeju stressing out on having a baby while Yeonghan assures her that there's a time for everything and that even if she doesn't get pregnant, he's okay with just the two of them. But at the last scene of episode 8, she brought up about being pregnant and that made Yeonghan ecstatic about the good news. Tbh, I really love this married couple so much. They are representing what a healthy marriage really is. They support each other, they make time to spend with each other and they assure each other all the time, they make me really jealous of them. Thankfully I have found my other half too! I hope we'll be the same like them. Yay!

Kang Han Na Found Hope For Her Next Show Thanks To Go Kyung Pyo's Notebook in Frankly Speaking Episode 4
Wow, I swear this drama is getting better and better! It's really growing on me, and that ending scene truly excites me. It has been a while since I felt that rush gushing over me, my heart fluttering because of Song Ki Baek and On Woo Ju. I swear there really is chemistry between them when I thought there's none. I love them already. Can I also just say how awesome it really is when they used the OST in the ending scene? The entrance was so smooth, and it really fit the scene so well! Kudos to the director for that!
In this episode 4, we got to see some harsh truth happening inside a family and it involves money. Song Ki Baek has been the constant source of money for their whole family previously and now that he has decided to quit out of impulse, the whole family acts awkwardly around him now that he's back living with them and without a job. It feels really awful, and I can imagine how painful it is for Ki Baek. Can't he sit still and take a rest for quite some time? These family members of him are so selfish. Money isn't even that easy to work hard for, they wouldn't know because they weren't even working to provide for themselves, only Ki Baek knows it and it's just disappointing that his family members treat him like a plague now that he has no money. I hope their set up becomes better.
There's actually a thought that's been running on my mind lately and this drama has become the clear representation of it. I've thought that, if we decided to take on the role of the provider of the family, we need to take it into our heads that... providing money isn't enough. There's a need to make connection with people whom you provide for if you want them still around you after you have nothing anymore (job and money). In the case of Ki Baek, he got used to only transferring money without connecting to them before which is why it's been awkward among all family members since he came to their house. This reality is applicable to all breadwinners and most especially the dads of the house. It's not always about money, try to connect with your family too.
Anyways, back to the story. Song Ki Baek found out what turns on the switch of his illness of speaking frankly and it's when he sneezes. It turns off only when On Wooju pushes his chest lightly. Aaaaah! I'm getting excited about this concept. It means that they'll become inseparable in the upcoming episodes and there, the love between them would bloom! I really do think that Jeong Heon would become a great help for Wooju's career but I think that it's Ki Baek who's gonna catch her heart this time. Sometimes, it's with the person who we are with during the time we hit rock bottom of our lives that we would feel comfortable with also when we reached success in our lives. It's like in a wedding vow, through thick and thin, richer and poorer, they'll stay together... that's what it's gonna be for Ki Baek and Wooju for sure! Waaaaa! My heart is so excited for these two! For real!
