Technically, he cannot change the past because every change he has made are already here in the past and present. Meaning it's "set in stone" that he will save her from a distant future.

Because so far, nothing have changed from the time line we saw. The present (& past) have already the event he made from the future. It's not the usual time travel where he can change thing and comeback to an "alternative" time line. He always comeback to his current timeline meaning that the current timeline have already have the change he made from the future.

Do you get what I mean ? It's confusing to explain but this story have a twist in time travel that I do find interesting. :o

Like many, I didn't really enjoy this week episode. :O

J-Drama always have the same flaw for me: They always end when they are finally together but we rarely see when they are actually in a relationship. Sometime they get around with some "trial" or a "casual or fake relationship". It's like being an official couple is the actual end goal. And that's it.

So yeah, most of the time their ending frustrate me. And it seems that this Drama follow that pattern without even trying to get around it. :(

Purely a Slice of life. We follow a bunch of people living their best life focusing on the romance between ML & FL, the dubbing industry & Chinese traditional music. Food is also major in this Drama.

I loved the OST. For a Music Drama, it's a requirement but it was beyond here. Some songs did bring me tears. Also, the part when they do their Festivals or Anniversary is really well made.

Like some pointed out, two thing can make you drop this:

-Everyone is "too" perfect especially the main leads. Everyone is talented, have kind souls and are happy all the time. ML is a doctor who can cook/dub/sing traditional music/sound technician/play guitar/have drawing skill/do archery/throw a punch when necessary. He also have all the virtue an human being could have. FL isn't as much. She is just a Singer/Compositor/can play multiple instrument/top student who have a soul coming directly from Heaven. So yeah, they are alien or human ascending godhood. :P

-The "story" is too positive. Nothing bring conflict between the different characters. Personally, I enjoyed it & was always smiling watching this but I could understand that some would find that boring pretty fast.

So yeah, if you love slice of life, I would recommend this Drama. If you want something more "spicy" I don't think it's for you but regardless, the first few episodes are the strongest moment. If they bore you already, you can safely drop it.

I didn't finish (dropped at episode 25). I'm quite new to Chinese dramas and while I like the early vibe, I have a hard time to actually finish them. I still really enjoyed them and it was also the case here.

Another god ML (Handsome, Smart, Skilled & Athletic). He had some flaws and I mostly liked him more because of that. He can be quite cute with his dorky & childish side.

FL is also almost perfect but have more flaws. She look more like an actual human being at least. Nothing much to say, she was good but not memorable.

I was really uncomfortable with the SML. He didn't do anything wrong and I probably watched too much Kdrama but he had the same vibe of really mess up love rival that do shady things to get what they want. It wasn't really the case here as he was more pitiful than anything else. I still didn't like him as a character.

The side couple. I liked the goofy guy. He was "bullied" almost everytime (By his love interest but also by ML & FL) and it annoyed me at some point. As I dropped at ep. 25 I don't have the closure of this side story (with the ex-boyfriend) but seeing how they portrayed his love interest as a REALLY depressed woman, I believed at first her past lover tragically died. It wasn't the case and all I know is that he is some sort of jerk she couldn't move on and she destroyed her own life because of that. Personally, not knowing the real reason of her behavior made really hard to empathize with her. So all of her scene were a bit of a chore to watch especially in later episode because it was everytime the same "I'm sad, leave me alone". She hadn't any character growth in 25 episodes. Too slow to keep me interested.

For the side character, I loved the ML's groups of friends. I really have a thing for goofy guys. :P Annoyed by the assistant of FL. She cannot read the room even if someone life would depend on it. But I loved her manager. Her cool & motherly vibe was soothing. Grandpa & Grandma were lovely and the dog was handsome. :D

The story itself wasn't nothing noteworthy but it worked well nonetheless. I don't know if it's common to have those "game" sideplot in Chinese Dramas but it's still fresh for me so I enjoyed it (I only seen it in "You are my Glory").

As for the why I dropped it: Like I said, nothing make the story stand out. It's very predictable near the end. I wouldn't say it's "boring" but yes, I did yawn a few time. And when I feel like that I prefer stop before it get too annoying instead of forcing myself and be disappointed (even if I could be wrong). Because let's be honest, after a "last struggle" (the most annoying part for me in ANY drama) they will be happy & together. And I predict here that the second couple will probably have an open ending.

The Best of Tomorrow. It's not really the same so you can still read it and feel it a bit fresh. Tbh, I prefer the Drama.

Well, another very good episode. Laughs, emotions & tears. The whole package every damn episodes. And it's almost the finish line. It make me even more emotional and I already know that in one week it will be even worst... I want it to come faster and at the same time, I don't want it to end. :(

She still wrote the lyric in her script. Sunjae read it and based on the preview, he will "recreate" it. :O

Sunjae doesn't have chance left. The watch was 3:00, then 2:00 and finally 1:00. So we guessed it was her last chance but then plot armor came making her last attempt with a 0:30. They could pull off a 0:15 or another plot twist but Sunjae shouldn't have 2 time jump left because it was still bound to Sol and not him.

Episode 13 was a "I need to turn my brain off" moment because a lot of thing didn't make sense:

-The fact she could set the exact date of their first encounter don't make sense. It was somewhat random before but also around the time she get attacked by creepy guy.
-Even if she negate this encounter, they are literally neighbor. I can believe their path never crossed after that and he wouldn't simp all over her again.
-She negated all of her previous time travel by going back at a time that was previous to them. So why only Sunjae was affected ? Why she still have her legs ? Why her best friend still with her brother ? It would imply that she still did all of her previous time travel without Sunjae as her goal. But he was the trigger to everything.

Still, I enjoyed it and even if I will probably never have answers to those questions I will just go with the flow and don't delve deeper for my sanity. :P

Don't worry, I wasn't triggered by the plot itself. ^^ Like I said, in the Drama, they just used it as a plot devise for entertainment. But when you said that his symptoms aren't that "serious" and it even is a "good thing" that made me react. That all. :)

Well, being uninhibited doesn't limit at "being too honest". You will have little to no guilt or empathy. Every little though of you will be verbalized roughly. You will appear incoherent and probably a bit of a lunatic.

Strictly speaking, everyone will view that something is wrong and probably wouldn't hold you accountable especially your relative & friends if their are understanding but you will hurt them regardless without even being aware of that. Your job could also be at risk.

The "issue" is that it's often only temporary. You will remember and the guilt you didn't feel at that time will come back. You will be mess up pretty badly if you did permanent damage when you come back to your "normal" self.

Also, it was the worst case. Often it just appear because you had a bad reaction to some medicine and only last one day to one week. But I witnessed two times when it got really bad for the patient.

I get it that they used it for that purpose. ^^' The point was that the lack of inhibition can be really crippling if you are not in Dramaland. They are severe symptoms and can literally destroy life.

I don't trust any of the preview at this point! :P They always edited them to be misleading by some degree.

I don't think it disappear from younger IS. It's just for some reason, his younger self seem to keep it because she always found the watch back in the future in her stuff. The last time, it was the Grandma that kept it. It's probably just a convenient plot device, to not make overly complicated explanation on every detail.

Even if it's that well portrayed here, the lack of inhibition isn't just be "true to himself". It's the inability to control himself even in the slightest basic social norm. The fact that he doesn't control it is the issue here.

He also didn't "save her" when he came back to lace her shoes. And two times he was the one who provoked the accident she needed to be "saved". When he scared her on the stair and when he stopped her at the fountain. And like you said, the kissing scene also didn't show any saving.

For the certificate, he didn't believe it because for him right now, he can't imagine how he can move on from his dead wife.

Yeah the "special" connection also bother me a bit. I hope they add some lore on their family special powers that would explain why it's happening that isn't just "she is your fated one". ^^

Why this "fake" relationship seems more real that real one ? :3 Like that hand grabbing on the bridge, the genuine laugh on diner & all the love beam they shot when they look at each other ? Am I the only one ?

I enjoy it but something is missing. Like the romance it's romancing or the comedy don't land that well most of the time for me. It was also a REALLY slow start. But still, it does keep me around and I'm not annoyed particularly by anything.

I get what you meant but it's just time travel logic. He is not "fated to save her". It just that it's a future event that's happen in the past. It's like a spoiler. I mean in those dramas, almost every time the ML save the FL one way or another from death. Normally it happen chronologically but with the time travel plot, the time line is a bit jumbled.

So he will save her, probably when he will have genuine feeling for her. And I'm pretty sure it will make him under some kind of danger that will trigger the FL to stop him from saving her. He will still do because the past is kind of "set in stone" it seems. Meaning, that the future event that he did change already happened in the time line we see. Like with the mall scene or the flower scene.

I don't know if you missed this point but her hope was crushed instantly. She remember her savior having a scar or a tattoo on his neck that Gwiju don't have (yet ?). That why she said she wished that the man that saved her was him. It made this scene even more heartbreaking. :x
