Emily

Thought; did Im Sol temporarily get hospitalized in this most recent timeline, AFTER the attack that she was there to survive? Because her grandmother remembered her in a wheelchair, and the attack that her mother mentioned was a year after the attack that she actually experienced?

Also, it's a little messed up how she has zero consideration for the person that she was in this timeline- I'm almost hoping for some 'Time Called You'- like consequences to her taking over her body in timelines that weren't originally hers.

Episode eight felt sooo short ;-;

Yeah, that scene of her seeing Eun Sung as a child in the rearview mirror, begging her not to go- she's a terrible person and a terrible mother. Ultimately Eun Sung desperately wanted to be loved because his mother was an absolute dead beat, and he eventually died for it. Not entirely her fault, but she played a big part.

This drama always has me feeling like I've run a marathon after watching it with how much my heart rate elevates. This one is so good y'all T-T

Last episode and a half were kind of dragging, but otherwise this was a good'un. Definitely a well above average melodrama. Villains you hate but understand, leads you root for- the actual events of the plot weren't too new or exciting, but they having already been married was a nice spin. Kim Soo Hyun is very successful at making me feel emotions, and the female lead certainly held her own. Very pleasantly surprised with this one.

mr queen at 1/10, who hurt you

She tried to kill both of them. The eldest-born son, the most likely to inherit, was definitely the most important target, but she wanted any heir besides her out of the picture. It's also possible Soo Chul hadn't been born yet?

Her not remembering him hits SO different than the first time you see it. Granted, I rewatched episode 1 immediately after finishing episode 2, but the impact of that phone call is ever bigger each time.

This drama is unreal. Granted we're only four episodes in, but the pace of things has been so good. Nary a trace of filler. And they're SO CUTE. The end of episode four was entirely too much for my lil heart.

Uh, the end of episode three is trying to kill me. On purpose. Intentionally. A targeted attack.

A drama that wanted to do way more than it ever actually managed. It feels like the characters had very little to do, particularly Shin Se Kyung's character- ostensibly the lead, but with such little impact on the plot events surrounding her it's laughable. Her acting tends to be one note as is. It just feels like none of the characters had any development, any wants, any needs- does the main chick actually care about the king? Even a little? It's so hard to tell, not only in the acting but in the writing itself. Everything exciting about this drama happens in the first three episodes.
If you've seen Memories of the Alhambra and remember how little PSH had to do in that drama, this is a very similar case.
This drama just doesn't deliver. Pass.

I've never so immediately rewatched a first episode after finishing the second. These leads are adorable and the plot seems so good already! Time to spend the weeks waiting for Monday and Tuesday until it ends

Because 'it's boring' isn't actually very helpful critique of a drama

This drama feels like a dystopian romance YA novel brought to drama format and I love it. lol

As someone who doesn't like how weird and fetishizing stuff like BL dramas can be, I was so impressed by the casual LGBTQ representation in this.

Anyone else laugh their ass off at the slow-mo at the end of episode 12?

I kinda love the obsessive-turned-abusive female friendship representation in this. lol. It's cathartic.

I will say; MASSIVE suicide/self-harm depiction TW, including suicide completion with emotional ramifications for characters. But I don't think it's portrayed in a way that is triggering itself- it's done well to avoid that somewhat. The drama made me emotional several times throughout because I related to it, but it didn't have any lasting negative impacts on my own mental health. YMMV. Take care!

It's so frustrating that she can't just be like; "I'm breaking up with you. Goodbye."
Dude's abusive and can't take a hint? Restraining order. The police. Get your chaebol boyfriend to kick him in the nuts. Girl please enough with the plans and shenanigans just dump his ass and run for the hills

I don't usually get second lead syndrome, but goodness gracious they were a better pair. Surgeon dude had nothing on BFF.
