like daylight

I wanna be defined by the things that I love, not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night.

how lovely runner started: sol (who is not yet in love with sunjae) constantly barging into sunjae's life while he tries to ignore her by acting cold and aloof but is secretly in love with her

how lovely runner is going: sunjae (who is not yet in love with sol) constantly barging into sol's life while she tries to ignore him by acting cold and aloof but is secretly in love with him

how lovely runner started: sunjae has spent 15 years missing sol, unable to forget her and feeling guilty about what happened to her. he loves her but she doesn't remember meeting him.

how lovely runner ended: sol has spent 15 years missing sunjae, unable to forget him and feeling guilty about what happened to him. she loves him but he doesn't remember meeting her.

i know i sound obsessed with him BUT LIKE .. this is how you write male characters. he should be the norm not the exception. the way i was expecting him to be an asshole after sol changes the timeline and yet he's still the same dumb loser who loves her when he doesn't even know her 😭 i could die bro i understand he's fictional but he's simply the best person i know my guy doesn't have a hating bone in his body and no other man is doing it like him

Sunjae's father was such a little bitch this episode lmao. "My son would never lose his mind over a woman, especially not your daughter!" like sir you son is in her parking lot trying to come up with a script so that he can casually give her some antibiotics. he's ill with downbadism and has a phd in being an embarrassment

Mom, the one who saved me when I had the accident... Do you remember his or her name?

look. I think the ending of lovely runner is what’s best for the characters and i love that it puts the main couple on equal footing with each other (both of them know now what it’s like to spend 15 years yearning and coping with regret while the other is oblivious) but a part of me is still grieving the loss of the episode 8 timeline. 

in this timeline, we still get a version of sunjae that is completely devoted to sol and hasn’t been able to move past her, BUT it’s not a tragedy like the first timeline. while he still aches for her and what could have been, his heart is not as heavy. he’s not depressed and he has a good relationship with his friends and bandmates, not to mention a sucessful career he seems to enjoy (he’s not thinking of retiring this time). he misses sol painfully, but at least in this version of events he got some closure and an explanation of why she cut contact with him. so, while the sunjae we meet here is not exactly happy, he’s not consumed by grief either.

this is a sunjae that waits 14 years to see his first love again, hoping this time things will turn out differently. for him, the sad events that took place in 2009 are not the end because he still counts on her meeting him on the bridge in 2023. he has hope and he clings to it SO HARD his love life at 33 is basically nonexistent. inhyuk makes fun of him for his dedication, but in the end he’s rewarded with the knowledge that it wasn’t just him, that sol loved him the same way for just as long. he gets to hear the girl who rejected him over a decade ago tell him she was in love with him then and still is now, mirroring his own feelings. it’s a beautiful story about missed oportunities, second chances and clinging to the things that matter to you even when everyone else thinks it’s pointless, and it has the perfect amount of humor (the entire sequence at sunjae’s apartment is priceless, honestly), heartache and longing. 

this episode also gave us THAT kiss, which is the best kiss i’ve ever seen on a kdrama, so passionate and eager but still tentative and careful, like they can’t believe it’s finally happening. kudos to the actors for all the emotions they manage to portray without even uttering a word, seriously. you can see fear, wonder and urgency in sunjae’s face during this scene, and I’m just a bit sad that it ended up disappearing (even though it still lives in their memories, I guess)

I’m getting fed up with this whole “feminism as an identity” thing. Time for “feminism as an action.”

So instead of asking “can a feminist do x?” ask “is doing x a feminist action!”

Can a feminist take her husband’s last name? Mu. Null. Question un-valid, please un-ask question.

Is taking your husband’s last name a feminist action? No it isn’t. It doesn’t challenge the patriarchy in anyway, it is the status quo thing to do, it is what is expected of women, and it carries a lot of historical baggage about ownership and shit like that.

But that’s okay, your life choices don’t have to be 100% dictated by your politics unless you want them to. And it’s okay to really want to take his name while recognizing that you also want to do the feminist thing and keep your own, and it’s okay to feel conflicted and have a hard time making the choice. But no more of this enabling “as long as I made the choice myself it is a feminist choice” -bullshit. Own your choices, even the ones that aren’t informed by your feminist politics. You are still a human being and people do shit that contradicts their politics and even interests all the time. Just stop pretending that everything you do is feminist because you are a feminist, that’s not how it works.

I’ve had a really productive year re: self-growth as a result of 1) finally overcoming social anxiety after 3 years of therapy, which led me to getting out in the world and 2) having my first dating experience with a guy who turned out to be emotionally abusive for a month (and then dealing with him trying to manipulate me into getting back together for 3 more months), plus 3) becoming friends with an extremely manipulative and toxic girl and enduring her tactics for half a year until I was finally able to see them for what they were, and here’s what I have learned about how abusive/toxic people operate:

they have attractive, loud personalities. they’re charming and funny at first and they seem like the kind of person anyone would love to be friends with (so you will be happy that you are).

they get REALLY intense REALLY fast. this is a big red flag: trust (and love) develops with time. people who tell you you're everything to them/they’d love to marry you one day/etc only weeks after you meet them are unstable at best and controlling and possessive at worst (unless you met under traumatic circumstances, I guess). when abusers do this they’re just trying to make you feel special so you will be easier to manipulate.

they try to isolate you from other people. this isn’t always done in really obvious ways, it can be very subtle. they can try to make you feel like they’re the only person you can trust and everyone else is against you or not really your friend/not worthy of your friendship.

they have big victim complexes and they never admit they’re wrong or they’ve fucked up. nothing is ever their fault, no one's life has been as hard as theirs.

they exaggerate things, lie and contradict themselves constantly. if you catch them lying to other people you will eventually catch them lying to you, you’re not their exception.
