Gentlemen of east 8 was ok, rating is not high but I enjoyed it because its more from a male perspective.
Stronger male characters I liked in The lion secret, my dear guardian, our glamorous time, they all have a military twist.
Love me if you dare is also good.

Agree with you that he is getting over his ex.
When typing the text to the ex he didn't send it, he deleted it.

I'm actually happy he didn't do anything at that moment.
It was her stage.
If he got up it would have detracted from her message that she can stand up for herself.

Yip, thanks

It is frustrating that GNT pulled back just as he was starting to open up.
I think it's not because of NZ but because he was reminded in that conversation that teacher/student relationships are complicated. CX is still not a captain yet so a relationship with him as her teacher could potentially end or make it harder for her to realize her dream.
He also still have a long way to go to put the past completely behind him so I think CX pace is too fast for him.

NZ did that on purpose, he knows his friend well and know he will pull back.

Can someone help me identify the instrumental music that is played at the end of ep 22?

I like that about her character. She stand up for herself without being pushy or over the top, or the normal trope of just staying quiet and be sad she could speak up.

Is there a preview for ep 11?

Most school dramas don't have kissing scenes because of censorship. K dramas, espesialy web dramas is fairly ok in this regard.

School dramas that comes to mind is

My calorie boy has a clever ML but I feel is different from others because they don't focus as much on that aspect.

Can't think of any others atm

Interesting to note the actress playing the schoolgirl is older than the actress playing the adult.

JL2021/2 is also from the future because her time line also travel back 4 months, she is just in a coma so is not shown as actively involved.

She change things that happend in the original time line so in the end she is JL2021 with memories of JL2021/2.

So HE2022 dies and JL2021/2 disappear.
HE2021 and JL2021 become a real couple.

I am intrigued by the way the time line is shown and started to look at "what if".

If the cause is HE2022 regrets and career crash and the effect is her accident.
(When the future changed his career crash change, her accident date changed too.)

The emphasis is on HE2022 but in reality JL2021/2 also doesn't "exist".
The time goes back to before her accident but she change things that happend in the original time line.
Effectively she is also a JL2021 with memories of JL2021/2.
It's just being overlooked because her future self is shown as inactive in a coma.

To put it differently if he didn't pick up the crane and the time loop didn't happen, she would have died without ever meeting him. But her future self also travel back 4 months to the time loop.

So HE2022 dies and JL2021/2 disappear.
HE2021 and JL2021 live happily ever after as a better version of themselfs.

I think the plot and storyline had a few plot holes, and the actors performed a bit under average, but overall the consept was ok.
For me the romance acpect was nice because of the ML's view that if they are meant to be they will be and treated her as an independent person rather than be all over her. Even with the sml the ML didn't actively interfere like some of the jealous drama tropes.

Agree with you. It appears that some posters dropped it but is still very closely following and comenting. If I don't like a drama I drop it and move on, its not worth my time and effort.

I finaly saw the "grabbing of b**b scene" some posters got all fired up about.

I really thought it was going to be worse but in the context of the drama itself it actually fit in with the characters.

ML and FL is portrayed as very clingy and touchy, the scene happens in their own home, they both are consenting and are clearly beginning to head to the bedroom, so the context fit.

I kind off enjoy this drama, the characters feel more real because of the type of crudeness. Rather than pulling or pushing the female around without her consent.

Yes def in the legal system, but think he could also be a criminal profiler. When he was talking about the cats and mouse problem it gave me that idea.

If there is a S2 I think he should come back as a lifeguard or a swimmer 😂😂 then he can leave his whole wardrobe at home. Guaranteed shirtless.

It's a possible scenario as well. The lighter clue is just too obvious to ignore, but having watched so many dramas I also know it could be a red herring.

The ending left a lot open.

They mentioned about her husband as past Gov so it's assumed she married Tian Yi, if so he survived.
She is the Gov now so something prevented him to continue with it.
She and TY old right hand man looked shocked when they saw the "new" guy.
It looks like the lighter was intentionally left on the ground for her to see.
When she said his name he shook his head as if to motion to her to not say or do anything further.
The way they smiled at each other could mean recognition.

My thoughts are the possibility that he went away to heal (maybe they thought he was dead??) and came back with a new identity. He could have amnesia (favorite drama cliche)
I highly doubt it would be a new person looking like him, but anything is possible in drama world.

Maybe the purpose of an ending like this would give a higher possibility of fans asking for a S2 to see what really happened.

Anyway for my own mental health (😳) I am going to go with he went away to heal and came back with a new temp identity to surprise them.
