After reading most popular reviews, I'm seeing that a lot of people claim that the topic of recovery has been oversimplified in the show. I reaally don't think so though? The 2ML and the FL are still sick when the show ends, still seeing doctors and taking meds. The patient with boss issues still isn't getting any better. The girl who wants to be a pilot still has a habit of hurting herself, even if under control more or less. Not to mention the suicide victim. There actually have been very little stories of full recovery on the show - perhaps the woman opressed by her mother or the mother with pseudodementia. It's told time and time again that it can get worse any day if they don't take care of themselves. It's just that they learn to find that daily dose of sunshine that keeps them afloat, but they still struggle every day. Of course, their recovery has been simplified for TV show purposes. No getting around that, people would have been bored to death watching one case for 12 episodes, with every single therapy session etc recorded.

I'm usually not a fan of a case-per-episode type of shows. Move to heaven for example didn't move me at all. In a lot of dramas the cases just seem jammed in, with the intention to make me emotional, and I hate when it's not genuine that way. But here most of cases feel pretty organic, and have just the right amount of time spent on them. It may feel a little jammed in but honestly isn't that life? Everyone deals with different things. Overall incredible show. I will be going back to it whenever I feel worse in the future. This show has the power to give people courage to fight for themselves, and it definitely gave me some. Kudos to creators.

I agree, I guess I just prefer the chemistry with 2ml, the bickering and cursing and all that. They just seemed very close. Whereas with 1ML the FL just seemed not that comfortable yet.

Same! I realized during the last ep but I thought it really suits this drama.

This is an incredible show. Woah. I don't remember watching something as relevant to today's societal issues as this since It's okay that's love (but that one is pretty old, not perhaps outdated but with slightly different focus in its cases). As a working person, who worries constantly about everything, and is slightly rough round the edges (like nurse Park), this show has me constantly on the verge of tears. Everyone should watch it.

I rarely get SLS, cause I know it will end badly, but here I just can't help it -,-

Truth. For some people it's either a 1 or a 10, nothing in between

Probably don't need to say this, but only watch it if you're prepared for the leads to have like 5% of happy time together and 95% of angsty time apart. Like I can be in for the angst but not in such a high disproportion... But it's just me, you can have different opinion and expectations from the show. Shame cause I could really feel the chemistry between the leads.

Another thing which irked me, especially in the beginning, is the overusage of the same jokes/situations. Like Moon Immortal has barely anything to do other than going around wanting to tie red strings to everyone. Yan You is a womanizer with the same one joke for the first 25ish eps. And the whole Flower realm crew is really one note as well. Their scenes are very skippable.

Thank heavens that after the halfway point the police started to investigate someone ofther than our leads, AT LAST

True. Very underwhalming, and for anyone who watched more than 1 movie with similar plot, (time loop) not very groundbreaking. Honestly other than a good production value for a cdrama, I see no reason for this high of a rating. Not very much suspense, and not really going into individual stories of passengers either. Mid

YES to the enemies to lovers, their chemistry was incredible

I feel like the MLs' characters were wery one-note. Sure they went through a lot, but in the end, they didn't feel like real human beings when they were so shy and polite all the time. It's hard to explain, but I agree with what some people say - it isn't easy to believe in their love when the show lacks emotions.

Prime video? I guess I'll never see it then

This drama had its fair share of stupid plot solutions (like LLH finding the mother bug only to lose it 5 mins later, wasting the styx flower to cure the emperor when LLH could have probably dealt with emperor's poison using his inner power... just to name a few). But if you look aside, it's really well done and engaging. The main leads are fantastic.

The ending could have been better, it would have been nice if they made it clearer. I believe that when the ML appears on the beach at the end, he is not LLH nor LXY, he accepts his past but leaves it behind to start a whole new life - a second chance, as he said everyone willing to redeem himself deserves. He is waiting on the beach for his friends, finally ready to not run away from them anymore. After 10 years of regrets and searching for his senior's body, he is ready to move on. That's why I think his outfit is also fitting - not simple robes like LLH, not extravagant robes like LXY but a cloak that was gifted to him by his best friend who cared about his health. He is finally ready to care about it too.

Don't ship real people, period. Or at least keep it to yourself.

Another show to add to my list. I seriously hope that the end of the year shows will deliver, so far this year has been underwhalming...

I'M SO EXCITED

People understand that the main fun is the plot that gives them the most joy. Not necessarily the flashback story. If it's not fun for sb than it is not fun period

Oh, so Shin Won Ho is really not gonna run the project. Good! I wish he gave us sth completely different! The S2 of HP seemed to be a bit uninspired so it's good for me that we get new(ish) creators of this one.
