How this drama has an 8.6 rating is the real mystery. Watched 5 episodes and found it very mid — not engaging at all. Weak screenplay, poor execution, and honestly, mediocre performances by the leads. Tbh, I can't continue. Dropped.
Ending on a good note—the pacing was a little fast in the last three episodes, but not clumsy. Whatever complaints I had were largely minimized in the last five episodes. Overall, I had a very good time and a great experience.
After watching Episode 23: Why is the screenplay turning into a pathetic joke? Doesn’t the writer have a better way to shape the story? I'm not saying I'm not enjoying it or it's bad just Screenplay writer is lazy.
After watching episode 15: The performance and cinematography are fantastic. The set design and costumes are on point. The director is smart and skilled. However, I feel the screenplay is dragging quite a bit — it dives deep into certain zones, then transitions into others that aren’t as deep. As a viewer, it's not coming together cohesively. Editor needs to do better, it needs more free wings.
What I mean is, it's not consistently engaging from a storytelling perspective. The progression feels mellow, and I wish it covered a broader range of scenes involving the fnds gang, it'sa crime to not getting more deep into that. Those moments are such a treat to watch — the friendship truly flourishes on the surface. I want more of that.
Also, I need a solid reason for why he left her again — it can’t be something trivial. Let’s see how the rest of it wraps up.
I'm currently on episode 26, and I have to say—episodes 23 and 24 were absolute masterpieces in terms of storytelling, screenplay, direction, and performance. The emotional range is sky-high. The music mix was brilliant, adding so much depth to every scene.
Zheng Ye Cheng — I’ve officially become your fan. What an incredible character portrayal! He balances humor, sincerity, and sheer intensity so effortlessly. His character is both deadly and loving — a complex mix of traits that he absolutely nailed. Every shade of emotion felt real and deeply layered.
And Tan Song Yun — words honestly fall short. The range of emotions she conveys through just her eyes is mesmerizing. She brings such authenticity to her role; it’s impossible not to be moved by her performance.
I’m completely in love with this series. It’s a slow poison — it draws you in bit by bit, and before you know it, you’re fully immersed. The pace never drags; in fact, the stakes keep rising with each episode.
Interestingly, though the tone is very different, the show somehow reminds me of the Korean drama My Dearest. There’s a kind of atmospheric symmetry — an emotional pull that lingers, even if the genres don’t match.
Anyway, I’ve written a lot, but I just had to share how much I’m enjoying this. Can’t wait to watch the rest ASAP!
IMO, the ending made sense. The first timeline was wrong. Everything was wrong. The FL was in a coma. The one…
Writing a time-travel screenplay is incredibly complex. You’re essentially working with three timelines, where every change in one can ripple through the others. It requires precision and a deep understanding of cause and effect.
While it's unrelated in terms of concept, the Chinese drama "Reset" is a brilliant example of how to handle a time loop effectively. The screenwriter absolutely nailed the structure—tight, logical, and emotionally compelling.
After watching Episode 3: I was so hopeful when i started it and it flow so well in thr 1st Episode than the rest two how to put it, just didn’t match that energy with which it started, let's see how it's going.

I appreciate your interpretation and the thought you’ve put into it — and I can see how, from a certain emotional or philosophical angle, the ending can feel redemptive.
That said, my issue isn’t with the intention behind the ending, but with the execution and internal consistency.
From a storytelling and logical standpoint, several things just don’t hold up:
Paradox: If the 2022 ML dies in 2021, how did he ever initiate the time travel? That’s a classic paradox with no resolution.
Consciousness merging isn’t equivalent to character preservation. Memory alone doesn’t replicate emotional growth, personality shifts, or the depth the 2022 version had earned.
The 2021 ML hadn’t gone through the same sacrifices or experiences — yet we’re asked to believe he’s now somehow “the same person.” That dilutes the emotional impact of everything the 2022 version did.
For me, that’s not a “better timeline” — it’s a reset that erases the very person we connected with.
I also don’t mind hopeful endings. But when the narrative takes a shortcut that undercuts its own logic and character arcs, it feels more like a betrayal than a resolution.
That’s where my frustration lies — not in what the story wanted to say, but in how it chose to say it.
Finished it — absolutely brilliant. A one-of-a-kind drama you don’t want to miss. This is an experience that needs to be lived. The cinematography was fantastic, the direction solid, and the performances were top-notch. From the soundtrack to the costumes and overall set design, the production value was clearly high.
If I have one complaint, it's about the screenplay in the middle — it dragged a bit. The drama started with an absolute bang, and you just couldn’t wait for the next episode. That same energy carried through most of the series, but it did lose momentum in bits and pieces during the middle. Still, it never went off track, which is impressive.
The finale, though, felt rushed. Several moments could have been executed more thoughtfully. The emotional transitions happened too quickly — and in a drama like this, where you've been deeply invested in the characters’ growth, those fast shifts can undercut the experience. It needed more time to let the emotions settle.
That said, the character study was fantastic. I truly hope viewers pick up on what I felt watching it. Overall, it’s a solid, powerful watch. Just little short to call it a masterpiece— but as i said it’s a series you shouldn't miss because the characterisation & performance of both the lead is masterpiece.
