At this point, we all know that the writer made a big blunder in the romance aspect of this drama - the lead characters have no chemistry. The actors however, can try and at least make the romance scenes between their characters bearable to watch. I cannot fault Lee Min Ho in this front. Yes, his character's lines are cheezy and cringey but his facial expressions are very convincing as an actor.

Kim Go Eun's character on the other hand, has little or no cheezy lines but in my opinion, her facial expression is just off at times. One moment I'm feeling her acting and at other times, I'm like wtf was that. For example, the smile she gave Gon when she met him at Na Ri's coffee shop seemed so forced that it made me cringe. When she is supposed to be staring at him romantically, she looks lost in her thoughts. I've enjoyed her past dramas like Goblin without any issues. However, I'm sensing the same thing here that I did with her acting in Cheese in the Trap. Some of her romantic scenes there felt so off due to her facial expressions. Her facial expressions showed fear instead of love in some of the romantic scenes in CIIT and it felt really weird to watch. In TKEM, her at times off expressions are worsening the already flat romance.

I'm not a fan of LMH, so please don't think I'm bias towards him. I respect both actors and I mean this in all honesty. I do not intend to bash Kim Go Eun, this is just some criticism as a viewer.

I'm cringing at how out of place and robotic Tae Eul's 'I love you' was in episode 8. It came out of no where.…
Bruh, even the smile she gave when she met him at Na Ri's coffee shop seemed so forced that it made me cringe.

Excuse me but didn't Na Ri cut her hair in ep 7? Jung Tae Eun had that whole conversation with her about doppelgangers since she looked more similar to her Corea counterpart with the hair cut. Now all of a sudden she has long hair again in ep 8 lmao.

New theory (Not sure why I even came up with this):The current Gang Shin Jae is actually from the parallel world…
I think so too. The scene with him remembering when he was young and just woke up on a hospital bed seemed a little suspicious, like it happened after he was brought to Korea. I feel like the young Shin Jae from Korea was killed and replaced with the current one. Probably why he recognizes the Corea royal symbol.

Title Born Again Spoiler
At this point I'm getting really frustrated with Sabin. How can she be so unprofessional to the point that she accepts a necklace from her student and visits him at his home at night? This is so wrong on many levels. She has too much empathy for Jong Bum and hangs out with him too much. If she doesn't end up returning his feelings, she is basically fueling his obsession which may lead to a repeat of the tragedy of the past life.

Also, that kiss with So Hyuk was so unexpected. I'm not sure if she was being flirty or really carrying out an experiment. Either way it was weird even though it was cute to watch. Because of the way she acts around both guys, each will feel that they have a special relationship with her and become protective.

My theory about So Hyuk's left eye pain is that it is because of the bashing of the left side of his face in his past life. I'm really suprised that I haven't seen a comment suggesting that anyone else thinks this way. That being said, I don't believe there was a body switch - I really hope there wasn't.

6 episodes in and I've never been this confused while watching a kdrama. For some reason I'm not even that interested in finding out who the current killer is. Since the writer keeps dropping confusing hints about the past life. I'm more interested in solving that mystery and finding out who ends up with the girl in this life.

Agree, I'll disregard those preview & think it never happened then, I refuse to believe such nonsense and just…
Nonesense indeed! I also believe it won't happen. In kdrama land whenever a kiss is shown in the preview, it almost always ends up as a near miss. Haha

After ep. 15, I'm not very thrilled about the revelation of who the eraser is. There were so many red herrings more believable as the eraser than the actual eraser, making the reveal so underwhelming. Also, too many new character introductions this late into the drama and their links to the past at this point is just messy.

If anyone has watched Pretty Little Liars, this is similar to what I felt after the big A reveal. Introducing a character late in a series and turning them out to be the culprit we've all been looking for since episode 1 is lazy writing. In this case, this is the only way, the writer can clean up the mess they have made of these last few episodes. I can't wait for them to explain her motive behind the murders and her hatred for Dong Baek which the writers seem to be neglecting with what I've seem from ep 16's preview.

Title 365: Repeat the Year Spoiler
Loved the story and the acting. I didn't expect it to be 12 episodes so imagine my suprise when it ended. I was hoping for more romantic interactions between Ga Hyun and Hyeong Ju. Although we didn't get to see that I'm satisfied knowing that there is a possibility for romance for the both of them in the new timeline. Since they won't be spending all their time together in figuring out the mistery killer and how to survive, they have the opportunity to build up romance.

This is one of the most thrilling dramas I've watched all year and the unpredictable plot made it so enjoyable. I will miss looking forward to Reset Mondays and Tuesdays.

Ok, I'm probably going to complain a lot, but rest assured I do enjoy the show!1. I love WDH, but this must be…
The little boy with the yoyo is not Gon. He is the same boy that made Tae Eul loose her ID. If Gon from Tae Eul's world were still alive, he would be the same age as the Gon from Corea Kingdom

My thoughts after watching episodes 3 and 4:
I don't feel any chemistry between the leads at this point but that's ok. It's still early in the drama. What is not ok is the forced emotions between the leads. The writer/director is force feeding viewers emotions that are not there. Que the romantic music and cheezy lines from Lee Gon. Their interactions just feel corny and cringey to watch at times.

Now, what I am really interested in is the mystery part of the story. That's why I'll keep watching this drama and hope everything else improves.

There's not a good flow to the drama and emotions feel forced. There's also a huge disconnect with the narrative…
OMG yes! The emotions are so forced at this point the interaction between the leads feels corny.

Does anyone else feel like the beginning of the ost sounds oddly familiar to Goblin's Stay With Me? Whenever it plays, I find myself humming the beat to Stay With Me lol. The same instruments and similar arrangements.

True! His reason for staying behind isn't convincing at all. We've had zero indication that he holds romantic feelings for her but all of a sudden he wants her to be his queen? C'mon. From what I've seen in ep 2 he, was happy to meet his saviour after 25 years and that's that.

This drama was amazing.
Another drama that is very similar is Mistress (kdrama). I really enjoyed it.

Title The Fallen Leaf Spoiler
I feel very uncomfortable with the flash back scenes of young Nira and Chat. Do the writer's mean that a child that looks about 8 fell in love with a grown ass man? Even more disturbing is that Chat keeps reminiscing the memories almost like that of a forlorn lover. Just completed ep. 5 and I really do hope that their feelings at that time were strictly the love between uncle and nephew, not something perverted. Perhaps the flashbacks wouldn't bother me so much if a younger, perhaps teen actor played young Chat.

This lakorn is good for entertainment point of view. Scrip writing is good. The cast are good, ML & FL are beautiful.…
You said exactly what's on my mind. I just finished episode 5 and I'm thinking of dropping this lakorn because I cannot stomach cheating. I don't care how much they try to justify it but there is no excuse. Cheating is wrong period. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels the same way. Also, you are right about how they made his wife into such an evil person. I do not condone in anyway how she treated her brother's wife and kid. However, I understand why she acts that way towards her husband. He always looks uninterested like he can't stand her, keeps unnecessary secrets and at the slightest argument, leaves his home to go sleep in a separate apartment, any wife would go crazy. I didn't read the synopsis properly or else I wouldn't have even started watching this drama. I always avoid dramas that make infidelity into a love story.
