Back after the Failed Escape (2025)

A reborn!FL who didn't have a 180 personality change and forced ML to communicate

One of my favorite reborn stories. If you like the obsessive-possessive crazy boyfriend then you'll like this drama. It’s the usual “I’ve been reborn so I chose to love the man who loved me all along” EXCEPT there’s some differences that I love. !!SPOILER ALERT!!

1. First FL truly loved ML in their first life but she hated him for locking her up. And it goes deeper than just restricting her freedom because it also correlate with her childhood trauma. That’s why even though she loves ML, she didn’t want to be in the situation where she’s like a kept lover. So in their current life, she forced him to communicate what wants.

2. What I especially like about this FL didn’t become over flattering to ML after being reborn. I think this is one of the few dramas where the reborn person didn't have a sudden change of personality. There is a power imbalance because ML is more powerful but you can't say FL was a complete submissive. It's more of malicious compliance if anything. And ML might be seem the one in charge in the relationship but you can see in their dynamic who's the real boss.

3. ML never side with others to hurt FL. Like yeah he’s a crazy bastard but as long as FL consents then I’m good. My only ick is that their first time together seems to be an assault but FL did say she didn’t hate ML for that, just hated him for locking her up. Warning though there's a bit of ML putting his hands on FL's neck and in another scene, there's FL wounding ML. I only accept equal toxicity from both sides jk.

4. THEY DIDN'T USE DUBBING.

I only wish they gave more details and personality to FL Like does she have a career besides of being ML's lover? Acting could be improved but both actors were pretty good. ML actor did great with being crazy in love and FL also did great (especially her crying and venting scenes). I’m just a tiny bit bothered whenever she does the little open of the mouth whenever her face is standstill. She does this on most scenes that's why I can't help but notice. That’s just on me though. Chemistry was very natural and I like how they can’t keep their hands off each other.

Fave moments:
1. When ML was shocked to know that FL wants him to come with her to visit her mother's grave.
2. All of their sweet moments
