3-4/10 And YIS's character still caught me off guard everytime he's on, so different from AOUAD.

Having not seen S1 is kinda fun in a way cause I've the same perspective as fl figuring out her memories, powers and everything. Before it ends, it'd be nice to see a glimpse of badass NS but also for her to end as just herself, CY.

It felt like a lot happened, at the same time not much. But I'm not too worried about how it will wrap up with only 6 eps left. I'm still enjoying it, esp. the cp's chemistry. The science is working, the tension is tensioning.

Hopefully HKL's name being high in the cast list is not a scam this time. lol And I heard he's playing the ghost king(?) suddenly reminds me of HC (TGCF).
Looking forward even more~

Oh I'm not saying its right or I agree, just sharing a possible reason as it fits someone I know from a lawyers-turned-politicians clan. Both expectation and reputation are big deals for many asian families.

It could be the general reason of avoiding pregnancy.
So while the teenagers are still horny, at least they're not getting anyone pregnant which parents think is ruining their future, expectations and reputation.

It could be the general reason of avoiding pregnancy.
So while it might not make their kids into geniuses, at least its not gonna turn into the worst situation.

I checked this out while waiting for another drama, but for someone who randomly watched this because of the dark trailer and familiar fl, I didn't think I would actually get into it.

Its not hard to follow. I like the pace it is going. They didn't drag the meeting, and it seems like the "married first, then fall in love" trope or in this case "remember/identify" since the leads already did the "falling" in S1. And the actors chemistry is good.

I was sold on the explanation. It makes sense to have the og fl play herself. Reminds me of the saying "the soul is the form of the body". In S1 she was a soul trapped in another person's body. Now in S2 she is whole again.

Overall I enjoyed the pilot eps. and the preview is still keeping me interested. Looking forward to the next eps~

This actress is not the fl in S1 right..? I checked this because of the dark trailer and she looked familiar.

Thanks for the rec, right now I'm enjoying it and I don't think I'll enjoy it less w/o seeing S1 (yet) since I'm used to wuxia/xianxia. The mystery of everyone's identity is interesting.

For someone who hasn't seen S1, and just randomly checked out the pilot of S2, it wasn't that hard to enjoy. I quite liked it. I didn't even realize it was more than an hour long until it was over. And the chemistry is good. Now I'm looking forward to ep. 2.

Though being used to cdramas, the wait would be something to endure with only 2 eps a week.

The reuters looks good. Seeing ml's costume reminded me of ALP, but I guess its normal since this is a sequel so they probably can't go far off.
This team though, ALP, CQL, NIF, ADOS.. hard not to have expectations.

Also, HKL is here too..!
Not the BFX x YYZ reunion I wished for, but I'll take anything. Hopefully his character stays for more than one ep.

Exactly. I too don't mind changes, like a good balance of the lead characters. But not to the point that they're unrecognizable esp. if its entirely changed from female centered to male centered that her character is just a love interest/tool for cp. Or worse, turning a strong and smart fl into the typical damsel in distress to make ml the usual knight in shining armor.

Anyways, fingers crossed for this one. I won't have my expectations too high (afterall this is WRTW team, not LLTG) but I'll be positively looking forward.

Heard the filming already started with WAY as final ml. Haven't seen him in anything before but he's young so it might work out better.

Since ZLS is sure 1st billing now, I'll be expecting this won't be WRTW 2.0. That drama was okay, but it didn't do the novel (that I loved) any justice.

Hopefully SY team remembers that two of tencent's hits this year are female centered (one is literally by their fl ZLS). As long as the production is good, it'll be good.
*Adds to my ptw list*

KJW is confirmed, and the character seems like a combination of Rachel and Aera... added to ptw list.

I don't know what that is. Its not on the list so its probably not popular/influencial enough. You can go check Gallup's website.

“There’s a policeman who has caught countless criminals but does not know how to catch the woman he holds dear in his heart, a firefighter who has extinguished fires countless times but does not know how to put out the fire in his heart, and a paramedic who treats others’ wounds well but does not know how to treat the wounds in her own heart.”

Looking forward to next eps. and to S2.

Congrats Yeonmo Team for the win at the 50th International Emmys~

He looks so good in costume too, and the fact that they had chemistry even with the few minutes together with no loveline, imagine a full drama with a proper loveline..

Yes, hence the 'wishful thinking' because YXP had never cast a less popular or newbie ml before.

Yes, so far so good.

Np~

The mc being unconventional and doing things his way then being right at the end is nothing new, along with having powerful parents he cut ties with, but KRW's portrayal makes it convincing and fits.

First impression, I wasn't expecting the pilot to be heavy. I mean, I was sure it would be intense, but for the first case to be more like an accident or random fire to focus on character intros.

Anyways, despite the few illogical things, I enjoyed the pilot and the trio. Looking forward to the next eps.
