Finally got to come around to watch it (and finish it this time as on my first watch i ended up dropping it). Picked it up again because I started liking Gunjoo. And I should really say he's amazing in this, and tbh the best character in the whole drama!! I absolutely love his scenes with Danoh (and Haru too) because they're really the cutest best friends. The typical soft and sweet, heartbroken second lead in his love story, but I really like the way he's written. Maybe especially because the drama is written about the "extras". He's really soft, sweet, and dramatic at times, but also shown as a really good supportive third wheeling best friend. And an unexpected fave character of mine is dried squid.. Tbh back then I dropped this drama early on bc i was bored i think? And other than the whole "team haru vs team kyung" thing going on in stan twt, I don't know much about the drama. And I thought he's gonna be the "villain" but turns out he was just caring and worried that history will repeat itself and I can actually see that he's really grown to like and cherish the self aware kids and that's really precious and adorable.

A few things to complain about... Honestly, the whole concept is of course really interesting and all, but like, there are some (if not, a lot) of things left unanswered. Like, of course them remembering their life in the past comics was nice and all, but how? Sure, Haru had his hand into the mysterious black hole-y thing I guess and he had that scar. But how did dried squid and suhyang remember? I guess they could've read the comic. But Haru and Danoh in the last episode? Did they just look at things that look familiar and bam they remember everything? Idk if it's just me not understanding about that concept... I think I have a lot more questions but for now, I forgot what I was gonna write so anyway....

If I have to add one thing to compliment though, the OSTs are really good and just nice to hear. Probably the next best thing after dohwa and dried squid? I might check out the songs after this to add to my faves.
