Okay but imagine being lou ferrigno jr and getting the episode 6 script and realising you'd be leaving the show only to get the episode 5 script and realise that you have to then act out what was literally the cutest mushiest episode ever - that also conveniently happens to focus on your relationship,,the one that literally breaks up next episode

I think one of the things that really worked with Lovely Runner is that the drama was so focused on the main characters. An ensemble drama is wonderful, but if it's going to be a couple-focused romance, then the other story lines need to serve the main plot instead of feeling like filler or a distraction. And this drama pulled it off!

The friend and brother show people making the choice to be in love despite their circumstances and not regretting it, just like Sun-jae. They also showed that Im Sol cannot change what is decided by people's own will:

The parents show people catching the same emotions in every timeline (enemies to reluctant friends for them) They also provide obstacles for the leads to overcome:

Tae-sung shows that Im Sol cares about people even if she has nothing to gain from them. He is also a rival for Sun-jae. Sol saves him from going the wrong way in high school and he saves her and Sun-jae from the kidnapper:

And if course, In-hyuk existed to help Sun-jae be a loser and give him bad advice:

Also, the kidnapper wasn't dwelt on too much (Uncanny Counter had this problem, too much demon backstory), he was just a fate moving towards Sol & Sun-jae. And we don't need to feel that sorry for him because he made the same bad decision in every timeline.

So many dramas get bogged down by side characters or irrelevant story lines in the last few episodes, but not this one! Everything basically stayed focused on the main story and every minor story aided the main story. Im Sol was trying to save all of them. Cohesion!

(one of the worst examples of this done poorly is Strong Woman Bong-soon. The villain got way too much screen time, the side stories were mostly irrelevant to the main plot, and there was so much useless filler, especially towards the end.)

gonna be petty for one more second and say I can't believe people thought that bucktommy was gonna be bones in this ep

[buckleyskin]

alright bucktommy nation strap in.

so max gao had said on twitter that 08x08 “Sob Stories” will most likely be the mid season finale and that airs on 11/21, where does that leave us?

- ep. 5 & 6 are bucktommy centric - they’re the b plot. we’ve seen/are going to see conflict & resolution between them. are they going to breakup? absolutely not. tim & oliver want buck off of the hamster wheel, and buck having conflict with a partner and them breaking up after a few episodes is repetitive & quite honestly they’re done with that storyline for buck. tim also loves lou/tommy, lou loves tommy & oliver loves buck & tommy’s relationship and lou wouldn’t give up this role.

will there be angsty storylines? of course, this is a drama show. doesn’t mean they’re gonna breakup, we’ve seen conflicts like this happen a lot. i can confidently say that they are thinking if not already putting it in that tommy is bucks endgame.

- ep. 8 is a little different. we’ll have a little storyline for buck but in my mind i think his storyline for that episode will be c plot. eddie will be a plot, and he will resolve that he has to go to texas and - this is wishful thinking - a plot will be madney. ep. 8 will establish that buck & tommy are still together before the hiatus and we’ll definitely have a cliffhanger for another major character.

so don’t fret or worry. buck and tommy will not be breaking up, the same writer & director of 07x04 are the same people working on 08x06 so, this will be a big win for us, so let’s have fun, share some theories and works to get us through this hiatus when it starts in 4 weeks 🫡
