A Story of Love That Keeps Starting Over

I found Love of the Divine Tree quite interesting at the beginning, especially because of the dynamic between the main characters. I liked that the male lead starts off more aggressive and emotionally burdened, carrying guilt over losing her in the past. That immediately gives the story some emotional weight.

The reincarnation aspect is also well done. She comes back without her memories, and he has to deal with that while slowly rebuilding their relationship from scratch. It’s interesting to watch him fall for her again, and at the same time, she also develops feelings for him without knowing anything about their past. When she eventually finds out, it adds more depth to their relationship.

However, there’s a point where the story starts to feel a bit tiring. When he loses his memories (because of what was done to him), the narrative basically resets, he becomes cold and distant again, and their relationship has to restart. I understand the idea behind it: showing that they are destined to find each other no matter what. But in execution, it feels repetitive and somewhat boring.

After that, the drama improves again, but then it slows down once more in certain parts, especially with side plots and secondary characters that don’t add much to the story. There were moments near the end where things felt confusing, like the plot was going back and forth, and I struggled to fully follow what was happening.

That said, the final part, especially the last battle, was quite engaging. I also liked the ending overall. Seeing them finally end up together, get married, and later have children gives a sense of closure and makes everything they went through feel worth it.

One aspect I think was not well developed is her love for him in the past. Their relationship in that timeline feels more maternal than romantic. She teases him and takes care of him, but there are barely any clear signs that she loves him as a woman. Later on, the story suggests that those feelings existed, but it feels underdeveloped. There should have been more subtle hints or small moments to make it more believable.

Overall, it’s a drama with a strong concept, visually appealing characters, and an engaging main relationship, but it suffers from pacing issues and repetition.

Final rating: 7.5/10
