Also the I don't do one night stands/hookups yet has ONS/Hookup girlies messaging him...Don't do it little girl!!! This is like red flags + idealized romantic fantasy... I'm just taking it as sexy brain rot like thirst traps on TT

It's like they are edging us. Like I don't expect full uncut but atleast give us more than this PBS cut away.

I would have liked more to the ending since he realizes she's his saviour/first love and I was hoping that she would remember (I know she transmigrated but she's supposed to gain OG person's memories).

We can blame the writing for expecting us to make sense as to why he is the way he is. A good writer would give us more depth instead of us having to guess and become armchair psychiatrists.

He's given that typical MC/FL type fragile, naive, kind, pushover, gaslit, loyal etc

He has some possessive issues, fear of abandonment, etc but for whatever reason the writers of the show should have taken atleast 30 minutes of an episode to solely focus on Younger bro and his issues like deep character development because he's in the show a lot but we are getting bits and not in a good storytelling kind of way where we get to know his internal struggles etc instead we see him being bratty for someone that's an adult.

It has gone completely away from the films and even the novel. I'm not even sure where this will go. Unless something is to happen in eps 7 to 11 that breaks the CP and mends it back together in a bow for Ep 12.

I just reread the synopsis, so I guess break up 2.0 is going to happen next? Then get back together for the end?

This first episode suffers from a lot of editing issues.

The couple fight would have hit harder had we actually seen Yim catching his "ex-husband" cheating. Did he see photos? Video? Caught them in the act?!! Production needed to show us and not just tell us because the fight felt a bit out of pocket and not so serious besides the "bruising".

I also think that Yim should have been given a days of being a bit in the dumps and then honey sister Nok comes and tells him about the temple.

IMO it would have been better if Yim was praying for bf with big D, money, handsome etc and poof ! Tutor appears (comedy ensues...production figure that out)

Condom & lube purchase could have been comedy. Idk why they just edited that real quick.

Also how did Tutor keep a straight face when Yim was awkwardly & cringingly licking that peach and trying to suck that tea bottle like it was a D?!...

They really settled things quickly. IDK why the writing didn't give us more as to why little bro is the way he is. We get few hints but not much development. I get they are rushing things as they are trying to get to 12 episodes. So maybe they will give us more here and there but idk. I get the feeling they want 2 CPs to be likeable/relatable and cute.

I think they didn't go far because they want ML to be likeable/forgivable. Same with the way Little Bro and QL were easily forgiven and we moved forward. It's like the writers/production want both CPs to be cute and likeable like the scenes where they are two CPs being cute together and matching.

During their phone conversation, if you look in the mirror, there was a lady moving at 29:44 to 29:45 LOL

Seems like there's a lot to unpack as to why Yi Chen is like this to MC (Xiao Chen). I hate to use excuses like trauma (since ep 1, 2, and 3 really haven't gone deep on him)...Jealous? Possessive? Fear of abandonment? Insecure? Attention-seeker? Immature? Poor Judgement? There was also that weird vibe when he hugged his bro from behind (back hug) and other little things that made me question if they were actual siblings...

MC is nicknamed Xiao Chen. Translators should just use that when talking about MC and Lil Bro.

I would be pissed. Like I wouldn't talk to either for a period of time and this is not even the effed up thing, we already know the text thing from before. Who needs enemies when your own blood is stabbing you in the heart.

Like I get he's trying to get MC to get over ML but could have just asked QL if he had a hot friend for my bro... Because that's some effed up trickery like being played a fool by your "blood" and then his crush/lover/friend.

At times before I wondered if they were even bio brothers and not step or half. MC is nicknamed Xiao Chen.

MC is - 程亦辰 and Little Bro is 程亦晨 Both names share the same pronunciation "Cheng Yichen" in pinyin, but the characters have different meanings and are distinct in writing.

程亦辰 (Cheng YiChen), The last character "辰" means "morning," "time," or can refer to a celestial body or zodiac sign.

程亦晨 (Cheng YiChen), The last character "晨" means "morning" or "dawn."

It's also possible that maybe OG Shin SeoRi was maybe dying at the exact time that FL was dying. Like she was malnourished plus stress...maybe a heart attack and by "magic/heaven's will/etc", FL entered her body like a soul time travel? I don't see a need for her character to travel back to the past.

They are rich rich LOL Not a parent in sight

I can blame part on his upbringing. The little bit we have is already a catalyst. I'm curious about his mom. Sadly its rare for a Chinese person to seek therapy with such traumas.

Maybe like ML, she's gray but not murderous? She has foresight, calibrated observations, and multilevel strategic thinking. She probably had act as a villainess in order to survive until her miscalculated demise.

They could also have corporate spying?
