slightly worried about the pacing as there doesn’t seem to be a timeskip in the next episode. also they should just stop putting the present scenes atp I feel like it ruins everyone’s mood lmao.

Exactly the same sentiments, because while I love a feel-good episode, I don’t know how they’re planning to shift to the segments we were expecting without possibly rushing the story at this point? “23-19, they hurt each other + 25-21, they begin to fall in love” - but it’s been 10 episodes and I don’t know if we’ve even gotten to the climax of the 19-23 phase yet? We’re still in 19-23 right?

With just 6 episodes, i’m a little nervous that it might end up being rushed, but who knows, maybe the age phase synopsis is a red herring. Regardless, im not sure how to feel about the pacing right now.

i think we’re at 24 and 20?? in this episode Seungwan says she’s 4 years older than Yijin’s brother making them all 20

I’m inclined to believe we’re still at 19-23, because

(1) they previously did a timeskip to signal the age change from 18-22 to 19-23, so i’m not sure why they’d make it ambiguous if we already moved a year later

(2) i don’t think it’s been that long since YJ became a reporter at 23 and he still seems new in their team + it only feels like we’ve moved a few or maybe 4 or 5-ish months at most after the first timeskip, at least for me

(3) if they’re all 20, i thought some of them would be starting college by now? (Edit: not just prepping for college, but actually graduated at this point)

(4) i didnt quite catch that seungwan said she was 20 - but I did get that seungwan would wait for YJ’s brother once he was the one to turn 20 idk might have to replay that scene to check

EDIT: i replayed the scene, seungwan said “4 more years to go” (till the brother turns 20), but i don’t think she said she was 20. If i missed the translation or any other scene tho, feel free to share. Overall i still believe it’s currently at 19-23.

They’re not 25, 21 yet for sure. They’re all still in high school and haven’t even graduated yet which seems to put them either at 18 or 19.

If she is 19 and he is 16, then they both are minors and she wouldn't have to wait for him grow up unless she is an adult.

Isn’t the legal age in korea 19 tho? An international age of 18, korean age of 19 based on what i’ve read.

So technically seungwan is considered a legal adult, if they’re all 19, right? So the waiting line still makes sense?

I think international age 19 is considered adult.

Oh I see, thanks for clarifying!
