In truth, if the drama follows the novel, this drama will focus more on Lin Yi. Although the main protagonist of the novel is LWY, most of the plot happens when they are back in time with LWY in A Chan's body. So it makes sense to get someone with enough acting chops, a face that can be believable as a teenager, and following to carry the drama while giving AiMi more dramas under her belt.

People get to hung up on actual age differences when in a drama, it all depends on whether they can carry that character's age.

And don't get me started with CP-fans who go crazy believing the drama CP are in a real relationship. They use BTS footage as proof like do they think these co-workers would ignore each other when the director says "cut"? Crazy.

It's go on Viu. But they sometimes have a delayed release.

I'm doing the English translation of this one and it gives me the creeps! Author knows how to scare readers! https://webnovel.leonparenzo.com/story/forbidden-land/

I hope the screenwriters make it HE (the HE is hinted in the novel's extra) I can't handle crying for Tan Jianci's character as I did in Lost You Forever.

Lu Yuxiao isn't Nanyi???

Recent cdramas do have a lot of kisses and I am glad it's no longer the wall kisses of old. The more intimate scenes I've seen lately have older talents or on vertical shorts. But all of them a romance-centric.
I really don't know why they are attacking this drama. The synopsis is very clear on the focus of this drama. And AiMi is at that crucial age for child actresses where there's a concern about being type-cast for teenager roles and can't transition. Especially since she has shown that she has the acting skills. I'd like to see her shine. (Not a fan, I just always notice her when she's a support character)

First and foremost, for a time-traveling story, I want it to be logical. And this one kept to its rules. They change the past and go back to the present with a new timeline and the effect on others and themselves are fleshed out. Nothing comes out of left field on that regard.
Secondly, I like that since they are adults going back in time, they maintain their way of thinking. They don't suddenly act like clueless teenagers after going back. Both main characters are smart and level-headed without being cold and aloof or unemotional. I also like how the FL doesn't fall first and questions ML's confession as probably just comrade-in-arms kind of emotional attachment. The way they fall in love is well explained as something that evolves not a sudden impulsive emotion.
Thirdly, while there is the romance aspect, it's not the main plot. It's like a result of the plot being them going back in time to fix their current life.
Lastly, the main villain isn't a surprise like a cinematic plot-twist from nowhere. But the good part is that figuring out who the villain is doesn't mean knowing why and how. And that's what the writer shows through the main characters' discovery.

I'm a sucker for time travel shows, so this one is right up my alley.

It's a possibility, but I also hope it won't get cut.
I'm just getting quite frustrated with the hate. They don't even use their heads.

It felt more organic in the novel since
(1) the cat-guy wasn't un-looped. So in the novel, it was just the two of them going thru this life-and-death struggle so the bond was more established
(2) they had more loops with a couple of times spent outside the bus to "de-stress" together so it helped create a more "romantic" time together

Maybe they had to work with the limited number of episodes, so it wasn't as fleshed out in the drama.

READ: As the two navigate tangled timelines, hidden truths, and growing emotional burdens, they realize that changing destiny may be far more complicated—and dangerous—than they ever imagined

There's only 24 episodes! Why are people so worried about AiMi being a minor casted in this drama? Why worry about the romance bit when there's only 24 episodes to sort through the "tangled timelines"

AND it might even be shortened after censorship! Stop complaining! Heavens!

This is not a romance-centric drama. Have you read the synopsis? They go back in time to fix their past and, in the novel, it's a really complicated kind of fixing. Tho they fall in love along the way, it's not the main thing. Also, they go back to their teenage years. She's more fit to the drama than the ML tbvh. Stop attacking her for being casted!

C'mon release it! Release my Ni Ni!!!! I miss Ni Ni on a drama.

Ni Ni is in it. I'm seated

You can read the novel unless you don't want spoilers. It was well written.

It's a bit different, but some things are the same.
The drama covers Book 1. The cliffhanger ending of the drama does allow them to move to the Book 2 plot.

Reset is more straightforward. There's one problem that hardly changes and the leads eventually figure it out after many loops. In that regard, it's easier to digest and get immersed in.
Mobius is complicated since every loop changes that even the main lead is at a loss. This causes certain parts to be confusing to the viewers as well having to deal with too many red herrings.
While both have time loops, it's like two beef dishes—both beef but different in look and taste.

The drama made the novel so much better. The novel was already intriguing but the drama just enhanced it further.
If you haven't read it yet and like reading books too, check out the novel. Especially the extras for their children's side stories hahaha it's fun too.

but... why all caps when this isn't a romance-centric drama?

I wonder if they'll try out China's remedy of using AI-replacement.
