In general, I highly recommend this series. My sole criticism is the pairing of Bai Lang's very hard edged and annoyingly vocal sister Bai Qing with Jin Xun An's former heart throb Ye Qi Ran. This pairing was nothing short of unconvincing, contrived, and disingenuous. It was a disappointing addition to the end of the final episode. It detracted from the main theme of the entire series.
I like ur thinking. But imo: That special timeline is in loop, because of a woman owner God/Destiny/Doom whoever…
YES !!!!! You are absolutely right!!!! I just looked at the end of the final episode and it clearly states "another Jae Woo" in 2007...15 years later. So...it is just as you said...an alternate multiverse with its own loop. Thank you!
It took a while for me to like the character of Frong. But the actor who played him ... "Meen" Nattakrit Hamontri...did an incredible job in the series "On Cloud Nine". If you haven't seen it yet, give it a go.
The screenwriters did an awful job at creating the character of Bamee. They made him boring, without spontaneity, lifeless, and about as animated as a store mannequin. As a main character, Bamee should have been developed further.
Unfortunately, these situations do occur, where parents meddle in the lives of their children to the point of causing disruption and heartaches. Yes...I know that we've all seen this before in BL's....and yes....I know that Cher has distanced himself one time too many from the Boss. But these types of breakups do occur...on and off again...especially when a parent perceives there to be a class distinction between their child and the boyfriend/girlfriend. The reality of this is disturbing...but it's there...it's real. So...I give this series a thumbs up.
A beautiful story...but...and there's a big BUT here...the time loop concept is flawed. Once Jae Woo goes back in time to 2017 and returns again to 2022, from that point onward he will move forward with his life and live it to its fullest...just as he promised to do at the end of the final episode. He is 25 years old in 2022. In 2037 (15 years later), a 40 year old Jae Woo will not be returning to 2022 as a 25 year old in order to travel back to 2017 to revisit Ji Hoon.
In order for the cycle of traveling back in time to keep repeating itself, then alternate timelines must exist...like the parallel universes as postulated by the string theory. Evidently, Ji Hoon's must have believed in alternate timelines. He believed that he will continually meet Jae Woo and spend 3 wonderful weeks with the 25 year old Jae Woo over and over again. Ji Hoon is willing to sacrifice his own life and die to protect the child Jae Woo...and by doing so, he believes that his self sacrifice will continue a cycle where Jae Woo will visit him for 3 weeks every 15 years. For this to occur, alternate timelines must exist. Without ascribing to the the concept of parallel universes, the time loop concept of this series is seriously flawed.
Despite the questionable time loop ending, it's a beautiful series...and I highly recommend it.
Into the dropped bin for this series. One episode was enough for me to decide that my BL time could be better spent. The dysfunctional work environment and the selfish, self absorbed, abusive co-workers were what mainly sent this series soaring into my dropped file. The leading female co-worker was annoying...not at all entertaining...and agonizingly tedious.
