A beautiful story...but...and there's a big BUT here...the time loop concept is flawed. Once Jae Woo goes back in time to 2017 and returns again to 2022, from that point onward he will move forward with his life and live it to its fullest...just as he promised to do at the end of the final episode. He is 25 years old in 2022. In 2037 (15 years later), a 40 year old Jae Woo will not be returning to 2022 as a 25 year old in order to travel back to 2017 to revisit Ji Hoon.
In order for the cycle of traveling back in time to keep repeating itself, then alternate timelines must exist...like the parallel universes as postulated by the string theory. Evidently, Ji Hoon's must have believed in alternate timelines. He believed that he will continually meet Jae Woo and spend 3 wonderful weeks with the 25 year old Jae Woo over and over again. Ji Hoon is willing to sacrifice his own life and die to protect the child Jae Woo...and by doing so, he believes that his self sacrifice will continue a cycle where Jae Woo will visit him for 3 weeks every 15 years. For this to occur, alternate timelines must exist. Without ascribing to the the concept of parallel universes, the time loop concept of this series is seriously flawed.
Despite the questionable time loop ending, it's a beautiful series...and I highly recommend it.
Into the dropped bin for this series. One episode was enough for me to decide that my BL time could be better spent. The dysfunctional work environment and the selfish, self absorbed, abusive co-workers were what mainly sent this series soaring into my dropped file. The leading female co-worker was annoying...not at all entertaining...and agonizingly tedious.
Who else caught the line that no one could explain why Kiew was listed as an incoming freshmen on the registration list? Interesting. It's as though Kiew was meant to be in 2023.
There are too many good BL's to watch to waste anymore time with this series. After 2 episodes...and one too many screeches from the female lead (Paula)...I sent this series into the dropped file. No regrets.
I only finished Ep 1...and am not sure what to think of this series. I was kind of hoping for something along the lines of Love Mechanics...but I'm having my doubts.
Thank you. The link you posted has a good song also. But it's not the same one as the song in the link that I posted. Please listen to the song on the link that I posted.
