I've only watched the first episode so far, and was about to drop it because this Seon Yul character is just so nasty...but everyone seems to like it so much in the comments and reviews that I guess I will give it another episode to see whether he mellows out a bit. I have difficulty with watching anything where I don't sympathise at all with the main character, so this is a bit of a challenge for me at the moment. We'll see how I feel after episode 2...
you'd be surprised how rare this character is in a market full of grey/cold male leads in cdrama.
Even in those dramas you describe, it's the exact same thing. The FL is emotionally mature, intelligent, open minded, and a frequent lecturer to anyone who will listen to her on 21st century female empowerment, whilst the male is emotionally stunted, immature, patriarchal, and usually nowhere near as intelligent as his female counterpart. Opposite side of the same coin, in my opinion.
I've only watched 6 episodes but I am already bored of the all too familiar brilliant Mary Sue female lead who knows everything and is smarter than everyone in the universe and the stupid foolish goofy male lead whose only purpose in life is to make her look even smarter and to make a perfect ass out of himself. Are there no men in China with self respect anymore? Why do they keep taking these stupid roles? Been here, done this way too many times before. Dropped.
Hello. I asked myself the same questions, and I answered the following, after watching each episode several times:…
Thank you for this insightful and informative clarification. I didn't originally understand the amount of time that had passed between the step-brothers first meeting and the event at the end of episode 1, but it makes sense that it would certainly not have been three months. Everything happened whilst the parents were on honeymoon and no working person honeymoons for three months! 😂 It was from this lapse in awareness that my confusion derived. But understanding now that the second episode takes place months before the wedding has even occurred (or at least been announced to the two step-brothers), everything begins to make much more sense. You have my sincerest gratitude. 😊
I've just finished watching the second episode and I have questions. In the first episode, he arrived in that town to meet his father, new stepmother and stepbrother. This time, what was his justification for travelling there if there was no wedding? Where is his father now? Where is the mother, if they're obviously not on their honeymoon? I'm very confused because it seems that even though he's gone back in time, the past is very different from what it was prior. This should have nothing to do with the 'Butterfly effect' mentioned early in the episode, as he hadn't done anything to change anything yet. So it should not have applied here.
Anyway, I got that out of my system...I'm shutting off my common sense mode and just preparing to enjoy the next episode when it becomes available.
I just finished watching episode 2 and I want so badly to enjoy this drama, but the subs are literally giving me a headache. I can't even binge watch this because I have to rest my head after just one episode...it's really too much...I will try one more episode and then will have to let it go, because I just can't with these subs...😟
