Thanks!!

Overall, a super cute, no-angst youth drama. Loveable ML and FL and adorable cast. ML was sweet with his repeated failed confessions. The secondary romance wasn't as enjoyable as the lead romance due to the immaturity of Jiang Juanjuan.

I heard, perhaps incorrectly, that they filmed a happy ending to drama but didn't air it. Has this happy ending (if it exists) been publicly released? A link, if available, would be much appreciated.

A few additional non-modern c-dramas:

Love Between Fairy and Devil
Fall in Love (2021) (several with this name - its the one with Oliver Chen/Chen Xing Xu)
The Starry Love
Love Like the Galaxy
The Long Ballad
Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms (Eternal Love)
The Legends
The Romance of Tiger and Rose
Ashes of Love

Wonderful coming of age drama. Female lead was outgoing, cheerful and unwavering in her love towards the male lead. Male lead was quiet and reserved and while we really got the female leads POV drama was able to convey that he was equally devoted to the female lead.

On a side note, the drama did leave you wondering about how prevalent in real life workplace sexual harassment is when the female lead is reprimanded by her boss for not allowing a client to sexual harass her or force her to get drunk at a company social event. Leaves you wondering if this is like back carries or not, happens in most dramas but not so much IRL.

Thanks! Just surprised that she didn’t want to meet her mother especially after the scene where the 18th version of her indicated that her mother was different from her other mothers and that she would come back in her next life to see her.

So the female lead speculated that the reason she was reincarnated so rapidly into her 19th life was because she was murdered in her 18th life. Does this mean that we have a storyline where Mrs Jang hired the “truck of doom” in the female leads 18th life to murder the male lead but killed the female lead instead? Just wondering…

I am finding the premise of this drama interesting.

Also do they explain why the female lead in her 19th life only cared about seeing Seo Ha from her 18th life and appears to have been completely indifferent to meeting her parents and sibling from her 18th life. She did approach her niece from her 17th life but never her family from her 18th life and only ended up meeting her sister by coincidence and hid from meeting her mother.

The drama description sounds similar to another Chinese drama (whose name I don't recall) that aired within the last few years...

Thanks!

The whole storyline around the May 30 date seems off. I wonder if scenes were cut and that's why it ended up being so muddled. The female lead acted too happy about the May 30 date, frequently mentioning it and counting down to it. Not the response you expect from a drama heroine if it was just to consummate the relationship.

Does the drama follow the novel very closely?

Thanks!

So did they get married in Episode 28? The drama kinda hinted at it but it wasn't clear.

Overall, the drama ended up being a nice, sweet, low angst second chance romance that I really liked and enjoyed primarily because the drama featured a great romance. While the leads had chemistry, their romance never sizzled but we did have tons of episodes with them just being loving towards each other. They actually get back together fairly early in the drama and never really have any conflicts or misunderstandings once they reunite as a couple.

While some of my all-time favorite dramas have a lot of angst, misunderstandings and conflict, I find I really enjoy watching low angst dramas like this one. The episodes just seemed to fly by.

While I don't recall feeling this way after reading the book, the drama did leave me wondering if it is just a matter of time before the ML is killed in the line of duty (lots of bombs and dead co-workers in this drama). Also, the SWAT team members jobs appears similar to being in the military as the ML was very rarely home and was given no time off for major events, not even the birth of his child. Neither the drama nor the novel explored the ML considering a different job in law enforcement that had a lower risk of death or one that allowed him a personal life. Nor did the FL lead or anyone in their family ever once question his job choice, not even after he was severely injured.

So did I miss the redemption arc that turn the ML's abusive alcoholic father into a decent human being because I certainly don't remember watching any event that caused his total personality change.

Joy of Life (2019 Chinese drama) also had a ML that time traveled back to ancient times.

The ML in Live Up to Your Name time travels from ancient to modern times.

I agree with Go Princess Go (its the Chinese version of Mr Queen) but its the FL in both that transmigrates. The ML in Queen InHyun's Man time travels (doesn't transmigrate) from ancient to modern times.
