Yes, bf's name was Hyukchan and ml's name is Chan itself

True true, ofc don't want it to be dragged. Totally agree on it being around halfway point. That way we'll get to focus properly on the healing journey after that. Too late just ruins it for no reason. And hard agree on the 2nd couple as well. They're gonna be so cute and chaotic I just know it. Also I know he's already into her, I just can't prove it yet🤣He also seems to know that she's trying to act like she's all fine always, even when she's not, love that! And also, I keep remembering and giggling about the scene where he grabs her to save her from tripping (stalker scene) that scene was so funny to me🤣🤣

Omgg no I didn't notice anyone's face other than the ml, but that is SO interesting. It's tempting me to rewatch😂 Though it still doesn't make sense why'd he run to the lab first thing after seeing her vid if not to inform the bf. Because from what I remember, he saw the vid, got startled, closed the laptop, checked the time which was only a few mins left before 1 pm (she said she'll reach by 1) and then rushed to the lab. Also to be noted, it looked like he was hesitant/reluctant or preparing his mind before he opened the door and his hands were shaky too. And I would also like to point out that in the trailer, I remember seeing a torn sketch of a little boy and his mother hugging. I am sure it's related to him. It's true that he's always bruised in all of the past scenes.

As for becoming an animator, I think that he was always passionate about animation. Even in the past, he kept drawing cartoons and sketches. I strongly believe he didn't want to or wasn't interested in engineering. That can also add up to be one of the reasons for him being in a bad state. Then after the accident, he may have shifted to animation since now he's pretty much all about "having no regets and living live to the fullest". 7 years sounds enough for the shift to me.

But also did you notice that there may be something wrong with the grandma's health. There are a few things which make me think this way. She had 3 copies of the same book and the expression when realised that seems interesting, then the countdown to a day 3 months around from now, her being eager for Haran to find a partner, the coo saying she doesn't look well recently. I think that's a lot of hints.

Yes, and then she reasoned the help during the scarf scene by saying she's just a designer and all that. Which definitely wasn't the case. Honestly, that's how I interpret the "creating boundaries" too. She does shows these very normal human emotions, eg in this case a small help or care, but then constantly keeps denying them. Because she doesn't want to feel close or get involved and form any connection with anyone new. I am not sure if what I mean is coming accross here though. It's true though that for her they're just strangers but also I can't remember anything he did that feels too much pushy to me honestly. Before the ending of ep 2, he himself have been trying to avoid her. And the ending of ep 2 is also to me is him showing gratitude. But yeah, after this if he still keeps persisting even when she refuses, then I don't think I would like that too. But after how it ended last ep, I think he's trying to get close with and make her open up or something like that so I think we'll see.
The truth though, I don't see it being revealed anytime soon. That's how it is in dramas. Though he's in quite a tough spot here, the topic is very vulnerable for the both of them and it's veryyy messy

Oh so you're saying the scene we saw might be the first time he receives the messages?

One more thing, the day of the accident, he received her messages on the laptop he opened to use. Which means he was still using the roomate's laptop. Doesn't that mean the bf wasn't in the campus at that time? Then why'd he run to the lab? Did the bf not die in the accident? This one is scary cuz I am afraid if they pull out the bf wasn't dead later on. But it might very well be he died some other way around the same time because I don't think there has been any direct information given to us that he was present there during the lab explosion. It's all assumptions right now really. And she got the call from the sister in Korea too early than it should've. It seems very likely now that I think about it but don't know how or what would that add to the story in any way. As long as both these details aren't plot holes, I think we have a big plot twist/ revealation coming our way. Crazy actually 😂

Oh I agree. Initially I didn't care much about even if they don't show their interactions/conversations directly affecting him because her being the only person around and also the contrasting cheerful energy constantly present seemed enough for her to be the only person he keeps seeing while in the hospital. But now with this suicide arc, I too wish we actually see those messages affecting him.
Also for now atleast I don't really mind that everything is revealed just yet, there is a mystery tag so ofc things will slowly unpack and make sense eventually. Though how they choose to do it is important and I am thus holding my judgment for now to see how it goes in next few eps.
Right now it feels that if done right this could be really good but really bad too if not. Oh and I also hope they utilise all these characters nicely, like we slightly touched on ep 2 how the middle sister suppresses her emotions, so I hope we get to see more of her perspective at some point too.

You're right, I thought he had only recovered memepies related to her but since he remmebers he was about to jump he might know the reason behind too. So he may have also recovered all/most of the memory lost too? Bullying is possible and also he might not want to do engineering, he kept drawing back then too. In that case then it wouldn't be as heavy as I thought. But also again there's definitely something about his family too. I remember I saw a torn sketch of a little boy and mom hugging in the trailer as well.

I am not saying he is or will get depressed in the present. But it's true that he did have a very depressive past which will no doubt be revealed eventually. Due to which he might also have some heavy and sad moments in the future. The thing is since he had memory loss, the question for me rn becomes does he remember the reason he was in that state or not? Why has he not visited his family for those 7 years? The thing is I do have a lot of questions but as of now we have almost nothing about him except for the accident. So I can't form many concrete or confident gueses or doubts too. But we'll see in the upcoming eps.

Omg no please🤣😭 But in all seriousness I really hope we don't add such useless drama here and only focus mainly on trauma and healing. But really intrigued to know his story. Also, I have another wild and likely a more possible theory. The bf might not be there during the explosion. Chan got the messages in the laptop he opened so he probably had the bf's laptop that day too so was the bf not present in the campus then? If so why'd chan run towards the lab? I just hope they don't bring back the bf and say he's alive or something stupid loke that🙏🙏

Thank you! And also I am really sorry for your loss. Stay strong and I hope you're doing fine now :)
Really sorry I was so excited to see seasons being mentioned that I didn't read the other part. I read it just now

He for sure was depressed back then. I wonder how much he actually remembers though? And he didn't seem to be liked asking about his family. And yeah I also feel the happy nature is more about convincing himself that he's happy. We'll see how things turn out when his story gets unpacked.

Also seems like noone caught it but I realised that isn't it a plot hole that when their laptops got mixed up, the real bf still had his phone and she could talk through calls. 😂

May I know if you're talking about ep 1 or 2 here and if this is about fl? If it's ep 1 then you probably have got it wrong. And it also wouldn't make sense if you're talking in respect to ep 2 and about the ml.

[Spoiler] If you're saying this after watching the 2nd ep, then we know that the ml is the one who had memory loss after the accident. And he only remembers her. But there's no way for him to confirm if she's real or not because they never had any direct contact, there are no records and the only person who kind of knew about the situation died. And he used to be all alone with no friends or anyone around him. That's why he also said that he wasn't sure if she's real or just an imagination. While the fl had never met or known the ml before

I don't think I totally understood your point here. But I think we really do need to keep in mind the fact that she is the only one he remembered after the accident and clearly has strong feelings (I won't say romantically necessarily) towards. And he is just really awkward whenever she's around because of how the whole situation between them is for him. Him being overly energetic seems like kind of a way to deal with his own traumas I believe. He has/has been trying to totally foget and conceal the past and seems like he hasn't really faced it and is too determined to live this happy life. So maybe we see him getting more toned down as things unfold. Again just my interpretations and I could be completely wrong as well. For now I am not trying to judge too early and will give it time to see where it's going the next few eps. Although, I do agree with we don't seem to catch a break with past connections, it's the grandparents this time 😂

Apart from this again I don't think the last scene was romantic but just out of pure care and concern. It's true that to her they're just strangers. I'd also really suggest you to see the final trailer of the drama, the continuation of this scene is there.

Glad someone mentioned the seasons. I think they're utilizing seasons very well. The ones I could catch in Ep 1:

The explosion scene where the ashes were looking like snow falling showing the fl entering winter.

Then in the exhibition, ml going from the spring season to winter where he first meets the fl. The name of the exhibition being the same as the drama too.

And all their shots facing each other always seem to have more colours in the bg for the ml and dull and colourless for fl.

When she went to boston it looked like a warmer season while later when he goes to find her in Seoul after the incident it was winter and it was snowing.

Not sure if I missed any but I really appreciate these details.

So seems like almost everything got answered in the 2nd episode itself. But there's definitely more history to the ML's character, something is off about his family as well. I do recall seeing a torn paper with a drawing of a boy and mom hugging in the trailer.

The dramas posted here in the recommendations sections don't really seem to match according to me...

I absolutely loved these two!!

Now, I have nothing to do with the whole cdrama vs kdrama discussion but I just wanted to say that cdarams do also infact have some reaaally good dramas outside of ramance and the "simple plot" dramas but these dramas hardlyyy get any recognition from the foreign audience. Though these dramas do great in China itself most of the time. I always prefer the more locally popular ones for cdramas. That being said, even though I have still watched far less cdramas compared to kdramas but so far atleast from what I have seen, I still think kdramas are generally better for genres like thriller. I just wish that people would explore more cdramas as well, there are some really good ones out there too, waiting to be discovered and appreciated :)

This honestly made me realize how much more I prefer dramas to drop weekly. It can be difficult and frustrating to wait for a week, but the in-depth and engaging weekly discussions make the experience much more enjoyable for me overall.

Oh no, I do get it. But this one wasn't just a romance drama. I mean from what I understood it wasn't the absolute main focus too. But yeah, I totally get it if you weren't satisfied here in that aspect or if it wasn't for you. I just didn't agree with some of your points so thought of sharing my views. No offense :)
