Ok after Yang Cheng’s arc and seeing the episode 8 preview, I’m getting the sense that the reason Lin Ling’s arc came first even though I’ve heard that chronologically he’s the last is because he embodies what every one of these heroes want/wanted to be: a nobody doing good things for the sake of helping others.

I love how this show portrayed how no act of kindness goes to waste. Im Sol had no real reason to show friendship to the random high-school dropout guy she had a crush on when she was 19. But she did. She convinced him to abandon his rackety lifestyle, dressed his wounds, urged him to consider a parent’s point of view which in turn acted as catalyst for the mending of his relationship with his father, encouraged him to graduate, and praised him wholeheartedly when he did so. All of which (the scolds and the compliments) added up to him finding his purpose and making a good life for himself.

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
