Can't sure right now because plot drama version much different than novel. But in novel, ML didn't go back to…
I see, thank you! I think they've changed A LOT of things in the drama because today's episodes revealed the ML remembers the "present" and also went back in time after the elevator incident.
I think this change was necessitated by Chinese TV censorship guidelines, which prohibit shows from showing regression/time travel after death. We can probably expect the protagonists to wake up in the present day at the end of the drama and address the reasons they're unhappy with their lives based on the lessons learned in their shared dream. And this wouldn't be possible if the ML actually died, ergo he has to be in a coma too, ergo he's experiencing the same phenomenon as the FL.
He said to his cousin that she was 2-3 years his junior. So, he's 20-21?
He said he was admitted to a direct-entry PhD program, i. e. a BA-MA-PhD. He's still in the undergraduate portion of the degree.
Since it looks like he graduated from High School No. 7 before the FL was a freshman (because they don't seem to remember each other from school) and high school lasts 3 years in China, he's probably a junior or senior in college. I'd say he's 3-4 years older.
In the novel he's 10 years older than her (!), but thankfully they've changed a lot of stuff for the better.
Just watched the first episode, which was very fun. I do have a question, though, and I don’t mind being spoiled. Did the older Lin Zhihua also go back in time or was it just her?
I was wondering if there was a breakup, so I asked ChatGPT (BIG SPOILER) ....
This is the stupidest comment I’ve read on here in years. ChatGPT does not know the plot of a currently airing Chinese show with no existing journalistic reviews in English.
If you’re so anxious about it, check the actual novel, which IS available in English.
This sounds messy and dramatic, AND the leads have a fateful prior connection, but it's NOT the dumb first love shit every kdrama forces down my throat but something more painful and complicated that could potentially drive conflict and relationship development, AND the drama will have 16 episodes??? Sign me up please!
I get that she's had a very hard life and loves her daughters, but she's really screwed them up and clearly doesn't understand them. I hope the drama will make her work for it instead of gifting her a sentimental redemption arc out of nowhere in the last two episodes.
I'm on ep. 26 and obviously Lady Jiang is evil for killing off her husband's concubine and scheming to kill tons of other people, including Zang Hai, but she snapped with the petition to the emperor. Marquis Pingjing's treatment of her and her son in the last couple of episodes has been so horrible I'm now kind of on their side even though they suck... End this selfish pathetic toad!
PLEASE don't make Lee Hosoo's realization at the end of the second episode a fakeout and have Miji convince him she's Mirae at the beginning of next episode... PLEASE no... This isn't a secret she needs to keep from him, so delaying the moment of truth would just waste valuable screen time on a nonsense subplot.
I do think it's most likely based on LHS's character and knowledge of Miji that he will stick to his guns, but I'm just saying the beginning of next week's episodes will be a test of the screenwriter for me.
I like this drama so far, though the tone is a bit unusual; it's both a romantic comedy and a preachy story about alcoholism somehow. It's good that the drama doesn't (quite) play binge-drinking for laughs and mostly finds its comedic material elsewhere, but the fact such a heavy topic is explored in such close proximity to rough caricatures like Han Geumjoo's shrewish mother and bumbling father confuses the matter somewhat.
That said, I like the main couple. Both of them are good characters, and Seo Ui-joon's lurching between yearning and resentment is fun to watch.
Like a lot of other viewers, I found HGJ a bit frustrating in episode 4--I just couldn't understand what she was crying about for so long when her ex was such a blatant and unworthy scumbag; surely after a few months without him she should begin to feel liberated?--but I think that chapter of the story is over now and we'll finally move on this week.
True to Love made the same misstep by lingering a bit too long on its FL's disastrous past relationship and her exaggerated patheticness after getting dumped, but thankfully it also moved on just in time.
damn shes actually drop-dead gorgeous. I’ve seen many of her works by chance and always knew she was pretty,…
Go Younjung looks like a goddess, but what sets her apart from the mass of beautiful actresses out there is that she can really convince the viewer with her acting. I don't know if it's because she's a good actress all-around or simply because her character in Resident Playbook suits her very well, but she's doing such a great job as Oh Yiyeong. I recongize my own junior female physican friend in her performance.
I'm sorry, I dropped this drama, I was expecting Kang You Seok will be the main lead in terms of romance. I waited…
It's your choice whether to watch or not and you certainly shouldn't be wasting your time on a drama that doesn't interest you, but you could have chosen not to leave this stupid comment in public...

Whether she’s wronged or not, how she feels about marriage and how they came to the decision to register their marriage is none of our business.
People act way too familiar with this man for no reason. He’s just living his life. Leave him alone!

Which is a perfectly reasonable age gap and I can only assume OP is a child who should not be watching TV for adults if they find it "disgusting."
