In the original timeline, the FL's mom killed herself. It was very likely suicide. ML's dad killed him in 2022 because he was investigating his dad.

The meaning in the match box is the killer's mom never paid attention to him but she was immersed in books instead so it made him angry to the point he needed to kill women reading books.

The best is the enemy of the good...

Why they went back to 1987 again? For me it was unnecessary. They should have stayed in 2021 working on making a baby boy because no son no time machine no return... Also why the son spoke about his mom at the past tense? She was dead when he travelled to 1987 to save his parents?

OK overall it was an entertaining drama.

The ending was satisfactory but still raised some questions...

Why it does not make sense? The ML's father was a murderer and never loved his son. He was abroad most of the time and even if they met each other on holidays they never built bondings?

It does makes sense that the ML traveled to 2037, noticed that he was killed by the culprit of 1987 in 2022 and he went to 2022 to see his own dead body then he traveled back to 2021 to meet the jailed culprit to confirm it was not him then he traveled to 1987 to find the truth that the killer was his dad.

This is why he ultimately says to his dad "the future where you kill me does not exist anymore".

In the original timeline, ML's dad was the killer. He killed three people and escaped covered by his own father and then he returned in 2022 to kill his own son.

Nothing links him to the death of the mother in 2021. He had no motive to kill her. So maybe she really just wrote a farewell letter to her daughter and killed herself and the matchbox found by the FL was just a souvenir of her mom's dead sister 34 years ealier?

I liked ep15 and how it wrapped the murder cases. I also think it is not the end yet. More surprises in the last ep.

It is shown and said in the ep 15 that his father killed him in the original timeline. Sad but understandable. In that timeline, the guy killed three people, escaped and flied to the USA and was never close to his son. When his son investigated the cases in 2023, he had to come back and kill him because he was too close probably.

EP 15 : Good thing that the murder cases are wrapped up now. So why....? Can't wait for the last ep.

The age of the actors is not so important as some of them look older or younger than their true age. The age and looks of the characters is more important. It has to be credible using the make-up skills, CGI skills, acting skills to make the story credible....

In Forbidden flower, Jerry Yan is 21 years older than the lead actress but on screen it did not show because the guy looked 30.

It's shinny and glossy but a little bit bland so far. Maybe it will get better.

I hope there is more than the romance!

I have not read the webtoon but if she keeps remembering her past lives, well in her 20th life, ML will be a grandpa or he will be dead. That will be sad. So maybe after this life, she will not remember anymore.

All her lives taught her to be bold. But her choice to use her 19th life to meet someone is probably new for her and it makes her look obsessed and freaky at times. I mean, from the ML perspective, she must be a real weirdo.

I am glad that he remembers her as Ji Eum at age 9. She was so cute and daring. She probably should not tell the ML that she was his noona in a previous life, the 12yo teen girl who died in the car accident. She should let him think she died (technically it is the case) and try to win his love and love him as herself in this 19th life.

But I guess she will have to tell him when helping and supporting him. From his perspective, it is his one life and his enemies are lurking around. I have not read the webtoon and I do not intend to but I would not be surprised if that car accident was not an accident and his mom did not die from illness.

Reincarnation is nothing new to dramas but I really like how they are dealing with it in this drama. The fact that she lived different lives as different persons in different times and places and it shapes her without making a freak of her. I love her personality in her 19th life: smart straightforward bold energetic little girl who grows up to be skilled and fun.

The story depicting her choice regarding her different lives and especially her two last ones is a bit strange but I guess all the intrigue is there. Especially if the story is seen from the perspective of the ML.

The two first eps were good!

like between his secretary and her gold digger manager.

The two first episodes are fun and the lead couple has good interplay but there is something missing. They are gorgeous to watch but something is off. Plus the FL's situation should not allow her to be moved by the law of attraction.

The ML's family feud and the family issue behind are underwhelming and FL has no real background story. Her friends are a bit...boring. Will give it a few more episodes see if things get sparkling between them ...

ML's dad was in the USA and arrived 30 days ago (alledgely), the morning of the murders. The probability that he killed the two young women and then cheated on his long time gf and got a woman pregnant and that woman left the village and his gf was also two timing and got pregnant with the child of another man... That's extremely convoluted.

I am sure the coffee shop's owner is ML's mom. He sensed it. ML's father came back and got his gf pregnant after some days and she noticed she was pregnant after discovering her bf is the killer.

But maybe she misunderstood. Anyone can find that kind of red rope or take it from her house. Same for the match boxes.

Today is the day!
