So… an almost perfect series! Loved seeing these two together again. The story was engaging, kinda complex, and sad. Cute and comedic moments balances it out nicely. The production and cinematography were so beautiful, many scenes can make for some awesome screenshots.
The fantastical elements of the story don’t really have much explanation to it, which I realize now isn’t the point of the story. The story is about second chances and what will you do to save the one you love.
Definitely watch this as a binge because watching it week to week did not do it any good and I’m about to binge watch it all.
I think that’s what was shown with the flashbacks of them waiting at the river. Also the scenes of when he travels he literally leaves the timeline. I think when he returned after saving Woojin the timelines were Woojin is alive and the one where he died anyway started to merge. I still don’t understand the whole colorblindness thing but maybe I’ll just drop it like they did lol.
After mulling it over I do think it’s more of a decent ending than I first thought. Left a ton up to interpretation but I’m glad it’s a happy ending. I just expected more since it was really good! Some explanations and a hug would’ve been nice but overall it was a really good story.
Yeah I loved the journey but man that ending… seemed a bit rushed and a few plot lines were just dropped. I’m thinking that at the end they’re from different timelines or something. Or those scenes were all just misdirection. idk I’m mainly confused by that last episode
Hmm with the new episodes I’m not sure what to think about this series. It’s interesting and the mystery is what makes brings me back but other than that there’s not much else. Main leads are cute and have chemistry when you leave out the context that one is supposed to have memory loss and despises the other yet will immediately give in with little resistance. Other characters especially the family members seem to only exist to set up some really awkward scenes that should not be an issue if someone actually explained anything to Haneul! That scene from episode 5 really made me frustrated because it just seems no one has any idea nor cares for Haneul’s memory loss especially Haneul himself! To me it seems like they wanted a twist reveal built around the memory loss but didn’t give much thought to how the characters should be in that situation. They wanted the tension from someone losing the memory of their lover and yet have them act as if they just are reconnecting from a break up… Also my previous prediction came true and I’m disappointed. Don’t get me started with Saebyeok who in my opinion is a real red flag despite his full lips. Keeping secrets, overtly pushy with his affection, and apparently not even trusting Haneul to take care of himself even in the past. Like idk about other people but a relationship should be built on trust and an equal partnership. I don’t get the impression that their past relationship had any of that. To me it just seems Saebyeok is obsessed with having Haneul and will do anything to keep him by his side. Even if that means keeping vital information that could help with his memory loss. Could all be misdirection but it seems like it’s all catching up to that guy in the last episodes. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s swept under the rug just so they can get to the intimate scenes they obviously wanted to do from the beginning.
A review perfectly articulated my main issue with this series, the memory loss feels superficial when it should be driving the narrative.
Yo idk why I put off watching this series but it’s an underrated gem! A bit confusing at first but once it hits its stride does it hit. Hilarious, cute, surprisingly deep, and a bit of horror. The chemistry between the leads is amazing and I love the banter between them. I hope there’s a season 2 coming 🙏
Yeah I totally agree with you. It’s a shame Haneul just gives in so easily when he is supposed to have no memories…
Honestly haven’t watched a Thai bl in so long. I’ve seen Cutie Pie and the Next Prince and let’s just say I was disappointed in the latter. I think this story would’ve worked way better as a slow burn as Haneul recovers his memory but it seems they want to have their cake and eat it too. Keeping their intimacy to flashbacks instead of having the other lead be extremely pushy would have made for a better watching experience for me.
Yeah I totally agree with you. It’s a shame Haneul just gives in so easily when he is supposed to have no memories…
oh yeah that scene seemed out of place especially when I assumed it’s been a few nights. Would’ve made sense if it was in episode one but I think they had it as a tongue in cheek scene foreshadowing the ending scene of that episode or possible NC scene because of the jokes made. I still disagree though since Haneul immediately gave into letting him stay at the house and all the physical contact to me seems pretty strange and pushy for someone to do with a person who lost their memory. However, the description explicitly states why Haneul lets that honestly strange behavior happen but we never get a scene in the episodes so far. It makes me think he’s just faking the memory loss because no matter how their relationship was he should’ve been more persistent about staying friends until he regains his memory. It just seems really weird and all over the place to me. Hopefully it gets better but I wouldn’t be surprised if they get together next episode. Just extremely disappointed.
I'm sorry but losing your memory not knowing who you are for years IS A BIG FUCKING DEAL. To say that carelessly…
Yeah I totally agree with you. It’s a shame Haneul just gives in so easily when he is supposed to have no memories of them together. Like bro at least put up some resistance because the last thing he remembers is that he’s his enemy! If it wasn’t for the subtitles I would’ve thought they just broke up and Saebyeok is trying to win him back. Especially with how all the other characters are treating Haneul’s memory loss like it’s nothing and he should get over it. I was hoping for some serious tension after the big argument but no we end with them making out and sleeping in the same bed. Might be because it’s a Thai production but it reminds me too much of how in their characters inconsistently act in the context of the story just to have kissing or NC scenes.
Yeah idk what people are smoking but this was an amazing series and I can’t wait for the Afterstory episode. Saying it’s too long is just showing you didn’t understand the plot or even read the title. Man I love slow burn romance but it seems too many want instant gratification yet they’ll complain about the rise of short form.
Gotta say though that my favorite scenes didn’t even have the couple together. The interactions between the leads and the supporting characters around them was so satisfying. I especially love the grandpa and the gallery manager!

I need to watch Jack O’ Frost.
