I haven't watched the other episodes yet (taking my time) but I've seen some gifs and I can already tell I'll have a big case of SLS *sigh*

I'm not super fond of her either, I wouldn't say she is awful compared to others though

Episode 1:

- Wow the king's security team sure was helpful /s
- I'm sorry but the child actors, especially the one playing Jo Young, were awful, it was almost comical how bad they were.
- In dramas they always exaggerate scars, damn that for sure didn't heal well lol
- The grandma is adorable tho
- Yep! no chemistry between the leads as of now... I ship her with Kim Kyung Nam more already...

Wasn't as bad as I was expecting...

My impressions

Wow you're right about that hahaha could be an explanation

Well I guess it's a possibility but I don't think that'll be the case, to donate sperm you have to fit some requirements... but anyway still a possibility, would be funny and would explain his apparent psychopathy since I believe it tends to be inherited

My guess for the plot:
Ha Eun was in love with Hyung Bin, now in the present Sa Bin will fall for Jong Bum, then they eventually will recover the memories/feelings from past life (or maybe just find out about the story) and then there's the conflict and love triangle... She will be conflicted between her past love of Hyung Bin and her current love of Jong Bum.
Besides, Ji Chul's/Jong Bum's apparent psychopathy will also be a conflict for Sa Bin

I'm not too optimistic about that hahaha anyway do you like Soo Hyuk's character? I liked Hyung Bin's but the present self is way too aloof

Also I didn't get what you mean about the student being the son of himself... How would that have been possible? Didn't he die at the same time as the other two leads?

Yeah I think so too, and I hope so too... I wouldn't like if eventually they made the body swap thing a plot twist cause it wouldn't make sense

Okay... so the body swap thing isn't clear yet... there's many misleading clues that I hope don't become plotholes. The clues are:

Yes body swap:
1. Jong Bum is always wearing a leather jacket like Hyung Bin always did
2. Jong Bum characters has flashbacks that should belong to Hyung Bin's character (the music box and coming to the bookstore) but those could be cause Ji Chul used to "spy" on them at the library...
3. Soo Hyuk's eye pain (seriously, if my eye hurt like that so often I would immediately go to a doctor...)
4. Jong Bum obsession with making everything about murder (since Hyung Bin was a detective)

No body swap:
1. Jong Bum's personality is similar to what Ji Chul would have been if he wasn't...well... u know, however it's very different to Hyung Bin's personality, Ju Chul's character was more melancholic and soft (ignore the psychopathy) he wasn't cold or aloof...
2. Soo Hyuk's workaholicness fits more with Hyun Bin's character
3. Soo Hyuk's dreaming about Hyung Bin
4. Jong Bum seems to have psychopathic tendencies (or that's what they want us to believe)
5. Jong Bum's interest/attachment to Wuthering Heights (Hyung Bin didn't care much for it besides being his lover's fave book)
6. Idk why but I think the trembling hand thing makes sense for Ji Chul since he used to tremble a lot

Extra: I really don't think Soo Hyuk's personality fits perfectly with Hyun Bin's but at least better than with Ji Chul's

What do you guys think? Opinions? Anything I missed? I was thinking of opening a discussion but who knows...This matter might be solved in next episode so I wasn't sure...

Yeah they showed so much of Gong Ji Chul and they're doing the same with Chun Jong Bum, so that leads me to think, not only he is the male lead but also that there hasn't been a body swap, but it isn't clear yet, they're trying to confuse us....and succeeding haha
I actually don't care who is first and second lead as long as the story and chemistry is good since i like both actors, I just hope the body swap thing isn't true

On second thought, I guess they can show us in the future episodes, but I assumed that they're done with the past storyline...

Also....there was no background to Ha Eun and Hyung Bin's relationship, doesn't that seem fishy? like if Hyung Bin was main lead you think they would show a little more of their past. We know they love each other cause they've told us but we haven't seen it yet.

Is it just me or the directing on the first episodes was kinda all over the place? It felt like it was trying too hard, dialogues too... idk something was off

Anyone agree? Was it just me?

PS: Not trying to roast the show, I'll keep watching for now, I'm kinda intrigued by Jang Ki Yong's plotline...

I hope the body swap thing doesn't really happen, seems pointless to me...
If you wanted to make Lee Soo Hyuk second lead again just commit to it since the beginning lol

I agree with you regarding L, he might not be awful but he is very lacking.
Also this show was enjoyable until the moment that it tried to become something it wasn't. I mean, if you want to do a fluffy, calming, cute drama, by all means do it, there's an audience for that, but why bring in a melo plot line with the aging thing to simulate some kind of depth? Unnecessary...

In my opinion, I think he is far from great, I'm not saying that one is better than the other, but L still has a long way to go to be able to be considered a good actor. He might be able to deliver the lines properly but I find him pretty expressionless and unable to emote.

I thought about that possibility too, something like what they did on WTWIF

Yeah, I'll wait and maybe give it a chance depending on initial reactions :)
