Such a phenomenal series! With 2025 coming to an end this will be one of my Top 5 for sure.
One thing I hope for is some sort of explanation as to what happened between Iljo and Jeonghan to make them go from being so close as teenagers to becoming estranged as adults. (For sure, though, the actor cast as the young Jeonghan did a bang-up job showing the beginnings of the older actor's blustery personality.)
Jeonghan turned out so hostile and disparaging towards Iljo after showing him so much enthusiasm and affection when they were kids. I would love to know what caused that.
I am smitten with Ga Se Jin. From his very first appearance all I could think of was Nam Joo Hyuk in "Weightlifting Fairy". Very similar appearance, very similar character.
For me this was the next best thing to seeing Nam Joo Hyuk in a BL, so despite its drawbacks I enjoyed the series a lot.
While I appreciate a hot, shirtless actor as much as the next guy, all the constant shouting and swervy camera work got to be very annoying.
Is there a coherent mystery here — a real plot — or are we just in for some really cringe, second-rate writing? If we learned anything from “Rearrange”, it’s that a bad first impression can poison the audience for even a great series.
I’ll give this another chance next week, but for now expectations are low.
Chai needs to stop letting his mom mess with his head and realize that Ek’s social status means nothing when it comes to love. ❤️
If we do get to see Chai in the future 27 years later I’m curious to see who they cast to play the adult him. I saw on ig that Bom said he’s 6’6” (almost 200 cm) tall. Maybe they’ll just ignore that little detail. 😆
What if the whole rearrange is just Win’s dream while he is in coma after the car accident?
He shouldn't have been able to dream all the scenes where he wasn't there in person, like Nut with his dad or Chai with his mom.
But then I remember that copout of a series called "Till The World Ends", which turned out to be a dream even though the ML wasn't actually present for several scenes .... so who knows.
Now that Win knows for sure what Nut feels for him, it might be that Win could return to his adult self and have a sense of fulfillment even if Nut passes away in the new timeline.
What I *hope* will happen is that Nut lives, and when Win returns to his original timeline he finds that his dad and Chai are also still alive, and that Chai is with Ek and maybe Biu is with Lin. (That last one's a long shot but hey.)
This is on a whole other level of excellence. The writing, the acting, the direction ... could not be better.
I gave a little eyeroll at the hint that they've encountered each other as children (what Asian drama would be complete without that little element?) but hell's bells, I'm all in.
Such a beautiful confession…then they break our hearts minutes later…this better be a happy ending!!!
I think there's hope for a happy ending since Nut's tumor was detected earlier than in the previous timeline. What a supreme waste of time the series will have turned out to be if they never get to perform at the contest (let alone win it) and Nut dies anyway.
On the other hand, the "lesson" of the series might be that a simple declaration of love is worth all the risks and consequences that come with it. Win won't grow old bearing the regrets he had in the original timeline, so his life will be better overall.

I hope Tae will get another series but with a different partner.

Win's dad is a treasure.
