what an emotional rollercoaster of a drama this has been ;_____; superb writing and the chemistry between the…
only a few questions:
1. Why did the murderer (kim yeongsu) keep targeting the FL? i thought the writers would reveal his motivation after a few eps but it was never mentioned - only up till the 2nd last ep where in the last time travel, he targeted another girl instead (the ML's stalker) - so i assume he just randomly kills ppl for no reason? if so, that's pretty unconvincing lol
2. did the ML really commit suicide in the OG timeline due to depression or did the killer disguise it as such? after finding out abt the ML's sad background (that he had a crush on her first waaaay back but she never knew of his existence other than mistaking him for a deliveryman; then loving her silently; then saving her from the incident which costed her legs - but her never knowing who her saviour was as she'd rather die than live on crippled) - he could have felt immense unfounded guilt and sadness and thus triggered suicidal thoughts. his supposed suicide scene in the OG scene was of him at the hotel/at home and he received a call, then the scene cuts off and then they show him plunging into the water and news reports of his suicide. however, in another timeline, the phone call was from the killer and he got killed there instead of the supposed suicide. sooooo was he really unhappy in the OG timeline, and these time travels restored the FL's memory of him (i.e. she saved him instead) and brought them tgt?
I'm afraid both the fl and ml do some conflicting things throughout the drama. The fl kinda cheated on her bf…
yea i totally agree with you on this... she was cheating on her bf emotionally by staying 'friends' with ji ho. i guess sometimes such complicated and toxic stuff entices the audience (including us help) ><
just started this drama after Love Next Door and SITR and curious what people thought abt Ji Ho flirting with her in the first episode despite knowing she was attached? Although he stopped himself thereafter by saying he wouldn't be comfortable being friends/acquaintances with her after she offered... the fact that he still made some advances at first was conflicting >< i know many comments here say life is complicated but i still feel it's not right to hit on someone who is attached...
i wanna watch this for jung hae in but i know the mother is gonna ruin it for me in like go ahead but i atleast…
i agree, the mother is suuuuuper insufferable so i usually just fast forward her parts since they're so predictable anyway. and i can tell you that it does not make a diff to fast forward her parts lol it will make the drama more enjoyable.
i found the first episode hard to watch on that i dropped it after 30 mins... especially the scene making the ML like Buddha bc he is so angelic >< but i love kim young dae and really want to watch on to see the romance arc, can someone tell me that it somehow gets better lol
(1) how did the FL obtain the picture evidence of the molester in the final ep? by right she should not be able to retain/bring with her or anyone leave behind any tangible footprint into the next time loop (only the two leads' memories follow them, the material reality is reset with each loop)...
(2) why didn't ludi get sucked into the time loop? he also got off the bus before the explosion just like how the FL dragged the ML off the bus
(3) why did the ML's health deteriorate in the 3rd/2nd last time loop? some mentioned that since time was not brought forward, it took a toll on his health somehow - probably linked to his mental state and sleep paralysis - but why then is the FL spared from it and what even is the point of introducing this plot device (his sickness doesn't seem to add value to the plot)
who else is upset that the xiaodong and linlin romance came up to nothing though?? the writer did us dirty, baiting us with smth only for nth to come out of it T.T
I find that each time the FL does something so wrong towards the ML that it completely justifies him leaving her,…
to each his own, but i feel that each time she screws up and apologizes, she does grow from it, and the ML also learns to be more vulnerable and love deeper from each time she leaves him (ironically lol). he used to be so closed up bc of the lack of love from his parents and how he shd behave as part of his career so she really did a lot to soften his heart and live without regrets.
especially in the second one when she was going back to shanghai without telling him - he chose to make her think hard about her actions and what kind of life she really wants (while still deciding not to break up with her), which eventually led to their reconciliation. he even said that he did not want to make the same mistake as he did with his mom - to let her go have her freedom while he silently suffered hurt deep down for her sake. in the last one, they both went back to each other because they realize they really do well together - not because he was manipulated into feeling that way bc of the false alarm abt her death. i did feel at first she was too carefree and frivolous for him, but when i rewatched it i noticed her growth and her genuine love for him, coupled with his growing courage to love as well!! their personalities really complement each other :') haha
holy shit i just finished this drama and it's easily the best mainland Chinese drama i've watched so far... amazing way of handling complex themes and of course crazy good chemistry between the main leads ;_____; i can't get over this drama help
omg the main couple T.T i felt the initial part of their relationship was pretty toxic bc he literally dumped her by giving her the cold shoulder (and lied about many things to hurt her so she'll give up on him) after her mom disapproved of him, but she still made excuses for his behaviour... while he had good intentions for her and his background (of lacking proper parental guidance and never being in a relationship before) is reflected in it, it doesn't condone how terrible he was... sigh. nevertheless the silver lining is that he truly cares for her and works hard to please her thereafter.
also can we talk about their first date where he bought her PS4 games as a gift when she doesn't even play them?? i thought that was quite self absorbed (bc video games are things he likes, not her - even though he made it a bit romantic by saying she can use it as an excuse to talk to him and learn from him) and what made it worse was that she happily accepted it by basically saying "ok whatever you like, i'll like it too!!" girl i hope your sense of identity remains in this relationship... i mean sure he did offer to get her clothes and shoes after that which she rejected but seriously all the red flags in the first part of their relationship T.T i get that the FL has to take the lead bc the ML lacks such human interaction skills but i hope the ML grows to be more discerning....
honestly just watching on bc the FL's persistence and pureness in the way she loves the ML is pretty endearing (although can get toxic if he takes it for granted and doesn't care for her needs) and li xian is so dashingly handsome LOL
can someone tell me exactly what kwon do hoon's role is (the guy who kinda stalked seokyung in college days)? he hated them then for being tgt despite having their differences (while he on the other hand couldnt get seokyung), then when he sees the ML again years later as an adult, still despises him (for being an incompatible partner to seokyung?). what exactly is his role in this drama other than being the person who saved seokyung from the fire and is still obsessed with her?
I'll try to answer some of these questions: 😊1. It wasn't Dohee who walked away, but Guwon was the one who…
thanks for ur reply! 1. Guwon disappeared from her sight yep but she also decided to distance herself. yea it went both ways i guess because seeing what he does in person can be so terrifying! 2. i guess it does make her feel better that those ppl gg to hell "deserve" it, but then again who are we mere mortals to play god and judge people hmmmm so i guess I'd be more convinced that Guwon's job is just part of God's plan for judgment 3. while reincarnation is a common trope in romantic fantasy dramas, it is inherently fallacious (and most that i've watched do not involve christianity/catholicism at all)... i still think the writers should avoid doing this lol 5. I thought that would happen too, because there was a scene in the last ep whereby Guwon was reading his manual and said a demon without powers is no diff from a human or something like that. but in the end, he still has his powers and immortality T.T 6. i like this explanation! i guess we can't undo the impact experiences and relationships have on us, but he shd at least stop feeling emotions towards ppl from then on?
