Time will heal everything. Never interpret things in a way that hurt you.
At first I was confused then I got it, he got age regression though rare but shown with so much anticipation from the trauma. They showed it in such a wholesome way. Even OCD is shown in such a good way. God they gave a gem of a series. The Elsa character is so cutee she is so small still a baddie always a baddie such a diva you go gurl. I love the energy of the principle and Jee too like they all are so united in curing and helping Solar thats just so genuine and sincere i am so touched. One thing I really like in the initial episodes when the principal asks pobmek that are you okay? Like in life everyone asks the person who got hurt but the one taking care of that hurt person no one seems to care about them. Here i really loved that pobmek was asked how he is doing taking care of sun and solar borh. Their outfits are also so good i have never seen ties like that so so innovative just wow. Also i am sad that Sun said you dont even listen to me to Pobmek and its true he is so busy taking care of everything that he is frustated so much that he does not care what sun says he just wants him to sit down and be quiet but how can a child be like that. And when Sun trues to pretend like Solar its just so gooood. Sodcheun is meee I am the BL girl want my guys friends to kiss in front of me lol 😂😂😂😂 Also santa is so beautiful like he is so majestic, my eyes are not drifting away from him at any moment so so beautiful. And socheun wears so pretty outfits like stylist of this show is just amazing, wow outfits. And they have shown everyone obsessed eith BL series, i laughed so hard when pobmek's mom mentioned that😂 like I feel sorry for solar that he has to go through that but pobmek??? Sun was so much meaner though 😂😂 to pobmek aawwww. Like he has to go through so much goddd. Like his dream was shattered, his mom forced him so much and he even has to suffer through his partner changing everyday? And the thing is sun and solar can run and cry to him complain to him but he cannot. Ughhh. But i really feel good that pobmek's mom was so good after she realised that she should change otherwise she will lose her child. The trauma of course cannot be forgiven but i think if people really try to be a good person people always heal with time. Its true what solar said we are never really ready to face the truth the more we delay the more it becomes a heavy burden among ur life. Okay i get it now why his mom was not telling him the truth its a lot to digest like its very traumatic thats why when he got into an accident he became sun. And thanks to his teacher who pretened to be his mom for such a long time to give him everything he asked for to give him a good childhood his parents couldn't gibe him. Sometimes things just happen even if its bad or good you cannot control theu just happens. I get pobmek in episode 8 so much i knew he would just be so tired all of it. Like how much can a person really go to such heights. He would take care of him so much and lose sleep over it. I feel so bad for him like he is so fed up i know he loves solar but every person has limits. And he feels guilty but who does he blame? Solar? Who he suffering as much. I predicted this very before the way he was just going and going and going and was so exhausted i expected him to get overwhelmed and burst out one day. They were so so bad parents of sun??🫡 Like damnnn how can he run in front of his son. And you are ready to leave your 7 year old son? For what? If he lost his memories you could have new ones but you choose to abondon your child? Like your thinking that i am a bad father is more important than an orphan child? Okay the mom is not so bad but the dad did nothing to help her he only cleaned her messes if he supported her to go to a therapist that would have been better. "If we dont face problems in life, we'd probably never realise who's willing to stand by your side on our worst days."
"And we'd probably never know what happiness looks like on worst days."
This is pure romance.
Everyone is a kid at heart at last.
I will rewatch it definitely

"It is not about where you are, but who you are with."



And another thing this drama reminded me of is that good deeds and bad deeds always come back around eventually. What goes around truly comes around.



First of all, I really like Im Ji Yeon, so I may be a little biased, but her acting is fabulous every single time. She completely immerses herself into her characters. Her method acting never disappoints, and she carried this drama effortlessly. I also loved the concept. Usually it's the modern person who travels back in time, but this time it's the opposite, which felt refreshing. And the funniest part is that Seo Ri never breaks character. No matter what modern nonsense is happening around her, she remains fully committed to being herself. And can we talk about Heo Nam Jun for a second? How is this man considered ugly by anyone??? I genuinely find him one of the most attractive actors around. He has such a masculine presence that every time he appeared on screen I was just staring. One thing I do think the drama could have done better was showing Seo Ri adapting to modern life. She adjusted surprisingly quickly, and I feel like there was a lot of comedy and character development they could have explored there. Still, the way she talks and interacts with people in modern times is hilarious enough to make up for it. And Seung Jo... God. He is always amazing in villain roles. He genuinely gives me chills. The story repeating itself between Joseon and the modern era sometimes felt a little repetitive, but honestly, I didn't mind too much because watching him be a villain is always entertaining. I also guessed pretty early that he was the king because... well, the king was obviously the villain. What surprised me more was how much I related to Seo Ri. When she wonders why nobody can love her unconditionally, why love always comes with conditions, why her existence has to be justified through usefulness, worth, or sacrifice I genuinely felt that. Those moments hit harder than I expected. One of the funniest scenes in the entire drama has to be the airplane scene. The ML faints and Seo Ri just starts beating the life out of him trying to help. I was crying laughing. How they filmed that scene without breaking character is beyond me. And then there's the forest scene. When Seo Ri gets lost and the ML runs around like an absolute madman looking for her. I loved that scene so much. I wasn't a huge fan of him yelling at her, but when he basically says: "I'm not sorry, and I'd do it again. Don't get mistaken—I never had any intention of letting you go." UGHHHH 😭😭 That man was so gone for her. Completely smitten. Completely obsessed. The way he listened to her immediately whenever she spoke? The way he always chose her? Please, Can I be Shin Seo Ri for a day? Because the man is handsome, devoted, obsessed, and completely wrapped around her finger. What more could a girl want? And the twist? Nice one. I genuinely didn't see that coming. But honestly, the biggest strength of the drama is the romance. The chemistry between the leads was amazing. The tension, the banter, the devotion, the kisses, everything worked. They made me root for them from beginning to end. It's funny, refreshing, romantic, and surprisingly emotional at times. The story isn't perfect and there are definitely things I wish had been explored more, but the acting, chemistry, and sheer entertainment value made it such an enjoyable watch.

Oh i didn't know that! Thanks

I want season 2 like please ......

Well he was drugged and then let him in thats the problem here that cannot be justified anyway, the assualt and drugging and keeping Yichen inside continuously mentally torturing him that the only way is dying is the problem here. Even if Lu Feng was mentally ill, thats the line I draw. Lu Feng should have never let him in and Yichen should have never gone back.

I watch koren dramas more so this was fun watching looking like a mix of bloodhounds and weak hero class. Such a good series should have not ended like that. Sadly

The acting is really good, I will give it like Mikami's acting more, when she says I am the original one behind Vital Hit. It just gives so much sassy vibes. Amazing series, really liked how he won in life but what was that ending????? Like can we get moreeee pleaseeeee.I want to know more about their storiesssss.

Thats such a stupid way to frame it, its like dont go into the world you may get killed.

"Karma is a boomerang. Life makes you humble no matter what the situation is."❤️

I started this drama with zero expectations and ended up completely attached to Fang Muyang and Fei Ni. A simple, slow-burn story that proves ordinary lives can be more moving than the grandest plots. Fang Muyang might genuinely be one of the greenest flags I've ever seen in a drama. 🥺

See I have also seen dark romance but normalizing and saying he was not wrong to do such things is where I draw the line.

Thank god someone said that it was just an excuse to hide what Lu Feng actually did to Xiao Chen. I think people here are just glorifying whatever happened in the series which is totally not good. I mean appreciate the actors but story not so much Episode 6 was peak after that everything just went downhill and to the point it felt that I am watching through someone's fantasy thoughts. End is well but after all that? No thanks

I just dont like such things when its too far fetched even in fiction, there should be a line to not only physical violence showed in series but also mental violence.

This drama is my top, like I can never move on from this, the OST? I listen to it everyday, It's my comfort drama, I like it too much ughhh why can't we get another drama like this.

One thing I also don't agree with the storyline even though Lu Feng was ill, the real victim still was Xiao chen like why are people just loving Lu feng and ignoring the fact that he literally abused him, used to drug him and not even letting xiao chen in the garden or something? Like how are you all so okay with the fact that xiao chen only felt free when he took the bullet for Lu Feng? Like he begged for so much time to let him go just to get out and see things other than the house. I think you people don't get how caged one can feel how much anxiety I felt at that scene, Like how are you all so okay with it that the only solution left for him was to die. But yeah Lu feng needs help so yeah we forgive him. Like I am not comparing traumas or anything but I still feel Xiao chen was more hurt in this series, I can never forgive Lu Feng even as a character. God.

I mean I like the actors very much, the acting was good but I did not like the story it was too much of a mess and I guess I dont know it triggered me a lot so this was just not for me. I have liked such series kinnporche, revenged love etc etc but this one I guess pushed my boundaries too much when the caged house scene happens that just broke me could not see such series. I liked the younger borther story more atleast it was not related to being psychotic? Like mentally torture someone to the level you hurt your love till they die??? And its considered normal??? Waaaaah. What a wild ride, I forwarded it a lot, I mean they are great people great acting, great fan service even their insta lives are really good. I just the story was kind of too much triggers all in one. My top is Revenged love so i thought to try this one but I think even though mental illness is shown in this I respect it like yeah he got up and got help, but I think it was too late wasnt it? Yeah of course they are shown together at last but this is just too good to be true.

I found it pretty funny from the start. I already like both the male lead and female lead, so it was kind of a win-win situation for me from the beginning. The concept itself isn't exactly new, but it's entertaining enough and has enough funny moments to keep you watching. That being said, I think I predicted way too much of the story. I figured out who she was involved with almost immediately. It was pretty obvious to me that it was the company president, so that reveal didn't really have much impact. I also called the roommate's actions from miles away. Every time something happened, I was just sitting there like, "Yep, I knew that was coming." Maybe that's why the drama became less exciting for me as it went on. I really liked how the male lead stepped up for her and supported her, and I enjoyed watching their dynamic. But once the story started taking itself more seriously, it also started feeling slower and a bit boring at times. The weird thing is that I genuinely like both leads, but I never got that feeling of "I need to watch the next episode right now." If I stopped watching for a while, I wasn't rushing back to continue it. For me, the biggest issue was the pacing. It was just too slow. The drama isn't bad by any means, and there are definitely enjoyable moments, but it never fully hooked me the way I wanted it to. It's a decent watch with likable leads and some funny moments, but because I predicted most of the twists and the pacing felt slow, I ended up enjoying it less than I expected.

Pure enemies-to-lovers done right.



I have to admit, I was biased from the start. I still remembered the male lead as Duan Jiaxu, so seeing him in a role like this felt so strange. I genuinely couldn't take him seriously in the beginning because I always associated him with soft, gentle characters. His face is so soft that I wasn't convinced he could pull off this type of role. But WOW, I was so wrong.The moment he started acting as the enemy, I was completely sold. He was so good. And the female lead was gorgeous as well. Their dynamic carried the drama for me. Also, Sui Ge is smart as hell. The way he immediately figured out that Yi Xiao was just a pawn and that whoever wanted her dead was probably connected to the mastermind behind everything was brilliant. Though honestly, why he decided to torture her afterwards was beyond my understanding. And Yi Xiao's revenge scenes??? THE MOST SATISFYING PART OF THE DRAMA. Every single time she fought back I was cheering for her. The chemistry between them was so good too. They've literally marked each other. And can we talk about the male lead's villain face??? DAMN. He looks SO good when he's being evil. The expressions, the eyes, the aura everything was perfect. As for the actual villain... I guessed it pretty early. The moment Yi Xiao mentioned that she felt uncomfortable around him, I was immediately suspicious. So the reveal wasn't really a surprise for me. One thing I actually liked was that I didn't think the Emperor or the Empress were completely wrong. Both of them made sense from their own perspectives. It wasn't a simple good-versus-evil situation. Now the Princess's storyline...I'm sorry but it frustrated me so much. How can someone be that dumb? Every time her story came on screen, my patience was tested. I honestly got a little bored because of it. At the same time, I also felt bad for her because she suffered a lot. Ning Fei was probably the only truly innocent person in the whole drama. My biggest issue was the last part. I understand why they made the memory loss come full circle, but it started feeling repetitive. By the final episodes I was honestly getting bored. And Chengyang's personality after becoming emperor??? It was like somebody flipped a switch overnight. That change was crazy. The funny thing is that SO MUCH happens in this drama, yet somehow it still feels like the story is standing in the same place sometimes. I really don't think it needed all 38 episodes. A lot of the later plotlines, especially Xiyang's suffering, felt dragged out. Like we get it, she's suffered enough. They didn't need to keep piling more pain onto her just to push the story forward. The enemies-to-lovers romance, the revenge, the schemes, and especially the chemistry between the leads made it a really enjoyable watch. Even with the dragging and repetitive parts, I was invested till the end.

"When teachers start getting afraid of students, the world is doomed."



This was such a good story and, more importantly, such an important story to tell. It tackles issues that feel incredibly relevant today. Teachers are expected to guide and discipline students, but many are afraid to do so because every action can be questioned, misunderstood, or turned into an accusation. While abuse should never be justified, there also needs to be a balance where authority, respect, and accountability still exist in schools. What really stood out to me was how the drama shows that not everything a person does is right simply because they feel justified doing it. There are boundaries that should never be crossed, no matter who you are. And nowadays, with so much misinformation and so many false claims mixed in with genuine cases, it becomes harder and harder to distinguish truth from lies. The result is that real victims sometimes aren't believed, while serious issues get ignored until it's too late. The bullying aspect of the drama was especially frustrating because it felt so real. Bullying has become so normalized in some environments that people stop reacting to it until it escalates into something tragic. Everyone knows it's happening, yet nobody wants to be the one to step in. That's what makes the drama so powerful it forces people to look at these problems instead of pretending they don't exist. That's also why I found the concept of an organization dedicated to protecting education and addressing serious misconduct so satisfying. The idea that someone is willing to stand up against the wrong and restore fairness felt incredibly cathartic to watch. And the most frustrating part? Knowing that cases like these still exist today. That's what made the drama hit even harder. Also, Cho Jung Cheol, How was he able to act so normal after everything? The sheer audacity and manipulation genuinely impressed me from an acting perspective. Watching him pretend and deceive people so convincingly was honestly chilling. And I have to applaud the main cast as well. Their performances carried so much of the emotional weight of the story. They made the anger, frustration, helplessness, and satisfaction feel real. This was one of the most satisfying dramas I've watched. It isn't just entertaining, it actually makes you think about education, responsibility, bullying, authority, and where society is heading if these issues continue to be ignored. It was frustrating, emotional, and incredibly rewarding to watch.

"The world is vast, live by your heart."

The story itself is really good, but GOD the twists come at you so fast in the first few episodes. There are so many names, so much history, so many connections, and so many secrets that I genuinely felt like I needed a diary just to keep track of everything. It wasn't that the twists were bad, they were actually pretty good but there was just so much information being thrown at me at once. Yuanrong's story absolutely broke my heart though. The way she avenged her love was amazing and tragic at the same time. Her story ended up being one of my favorite parts of the drama. And can we talk about the beast??? WHY IS IT SO CUTE. Every time it appeared I forgot whatever serious thing was happening. Also, the way yin and yang are used when they're together in the Li Sect??? So hot 🔥 The love triangles were EVERYWHERE. Not just in the current generation but even in the older generation Add that to all the twists, hidden identities, family histories, and political drama, and my brain was constantly trying to catch up. But then there were moments that made my heart melt completely. The way she says, "I trust you, no need to say anything" AAAAAH. My heart. And Zhao's parents??? Honestly, they felt like the only truly innocent and good people in the entire drama. When she said she would die with him, I already knew where it was going. After all, Yuanrong had already set the example. Some loves in this drama were just that deep. Episode 27 was PEAK. Absolutely peak. She can die for him and he can kill for her 😭😭 That's it. That's the episode. And Cai Pingshu's story was so sad too 😭 Every time I thought the drama was done hurting me, it found another way. Also, I guessed who the man in black was pretty early on, It was honestly very obvious. The real surprise wasn't his identity it was finding out he was somehow even dumber than I expected. But well, karma is a bitch. Everyone eventually reaped what they sowed, and that was satisfying to watch. The ending was honestly perfect. It wrapped everything up beautifully, and the OST??? AMAZING. One of those soundtracks that keeps playing in your head even after the drama ends.Overall, despite the overwhelming amount of twists and information, this was such a good show. Emotional, romantic, heartbreaking, frustrating, and rewarding all at the same time. 🥺❤️
