ShortCircuit

Err... nowhere in the drama (at least not so far) does it say she (or he, when it happens) gets to take all their memory along and get reborn with it intact. Actually, it's clearly spelled she/he gets around 12-14 years of selfhood before the memories of the past lives appear.

I don't know about drama tropes, but seriously, personality and character traits get formed and fixed in the important 3-7 years of life and then continue to maturate but never really change any more. Everything else are usually just details added to the base.

So if we take real life psychological theories and observations, she really DOES get a make-over each time she gets reincarnated. Except, she also gets (fantasy-life) a whole bunch of memories of past lives. NOT personalities, not tastes, not past loves. Or even sexual inclinations (I mean, she also got reborn either as a man or a woman, she's bound to have had lovers from time to time).

I haven't read the webtoon so I have no idea how (if at all) it's explained there. But in here, judging from just these two eps, it's not a cougar 1000-year old lady who just wants some young flesh, but someone with a very VIVID memory of making some promises to a needy young boy and trying hard to keep those promises, because there was something there.

She is NOT JuWoon any more, she's basically JiEum with some extra memories.

She waited to meet him again (as an adult) for more than ten years. One doesn't really rush it when they invested so much emotion and time in it.

But yeah, obviously the third hint will have to play an important role.

There should be something to top off the catwalks, though. Not that I'm complaining about the catwalks - but you can only watch LJH do it so many times before it becomes boring.

Here after starting three rom-coms at once (one is a costume drama, too), just because I want to feel that heartbreak feeling again.

There'll never be someone like TTJ, will there? Even if they ever air 2ha, CWN is a different kind of desperately in love chara, and I bet they won't even let that in anyway :(

RunYu saved AoL for me... I finished that drama just to see him get revenge on anyone and anything that had ever hurt him.

She doesn't have eidetic memory. Everybody forgets things after enough time has passed. I mean, how much do you remember of your own life? Not every moment, every event, every feeling, right?

She has lived 18 lives before this one, but only the most important (core) memories remain. She is not any of those people any more. So her mental age is not 1000 years (she's not freaking Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod), but whatever her age is in her actual life.

And IMHO, it wasn't love in her previous life. She just got curious about this kid who wasn't what she had first expected. Much like the immortal harpy Celaeno in The Last Unicorn gets interested in anything alive that moved in her range of vision, LOL, just not anywhere near that ominous :D

TBH it didn't even look all that much, I got a bit claustrophobic looking at the "deluxe VVIP" areas. Why the heck would they be so cramped up?!

This is still so underwhelming. There's so much eyecandy in the person of LJH walking like he's on the catwalk - which I deeply appreciate - but the rest of it...

I also can see that a lot of money went into filming locations and decorations, but this isn't supposed to be "Lifestyles of the rich and famous", is it? Where's the actual story?

So, other than the adds for haute couture three-piece costumes, high-q watches, the latest vroom cars and whatnot, is there anything of substance to this drama?... :(

His face when he realized ShiAn is actually in the place, too, thinking he's made his lucky escape, and she just looks up and then the sword is back on his neck, "SO WHAT?"

LOL

That there tells you she has no idea who ShiAn actually is, and all her schemes to get married into a good family didn't even include the little detail if she's going to even like ShiAn after she didn't see him for six years.

Love is in the air for JiuSi and he doesn't even know it.

YuRu before marrying JiuSi: ShiAn is BETTER THAN YOU in every aspect!

YuRu after marrying JiuSi: You are SMARTER AND MUCH BETTER than ShiAn, in every aspect!

What do you think, is there going to be a love triangle? :D

I didn't realize I actually wanted a story with a strongly confident MC who confuses everyone around her, LOL. She knows what she wants and she's going to get it, and if people think she's crazy while she goes about that business, well, that's not her problem, is it?

Seo-Ha won't know what hit him, LOL.

You can believe anything if you're 10 and like stories with witches. He's an adult now and he's got scars from growing. Nobody can predict how he could react this time.

She did say in the second ep that there are two categories of people. One with the people she can tell everything and they won't be judgy or treat her any different... and two, the ones she should never, ever tell the truth to. She doesn't know how older/adult Seo-Ha would react to finding out who she is, so she's just going to give him hints and wait for him to remember and decide which category he's in.

They divorced. She moved on to get her career back on track, he moved on to get his foreign trading company back on track, this time with a lot of help from XCS's company.

This is very cute so far. I guess once they move on past the enemies-to-lovers phase there'll be more than romantic hijinks, but they're both so cute doing them that I don't actually want them to move on LOL.

That wedding was a visual feast. I suppose it's not every man who gets married like that.... but the pomp and the spent money you could see everywhere... I pity old age Chinese rich people who did get such weddings LOL, it must've cleaned them out :D

I wonder how good the novel is already :D

I wanted to see what punishment CHJ and LSY got, but oh well, at least it'll be prison.

As for HHL, she started delusional and ended delusional. I had some hope for her redemption when she had the talk with YGH, but nope. She can't do it. She wants to be a master violonist, oh well, go get it.

The SARS epidemic in 2002-04 is TINY, compared to SARS-COV2. "Only" about 8000 people in total infected, with a 6.6% fatality rate (that one is huge though), compared to the ongoing epidemic, which is the 5th deadliest ever, with 7.6 million cases and about 7 million deaths it caused. If only they could have gotten a hold on it as they managed with the previous ones... This one's a culture-changing ongoing disease, but it's scary to see it could have happened way earlier on the same scale and be more or less even more deadly, considering what was going on in the world around 2002 and thereabouts. (And at least the MERS epidemic didn't spread, that one was the deadliest to the people it infected).

For the happy family - I am so GLAD for everybody. For XCS and TXM, for XTQ and QT, even (just a bit) for YGH. I mean, while there's life, there's hope.

Is it bad I like Qi Miao more than Xiao BeiBei, LOL? Because I do.

Ah, a HE. I wanted that and spoilers from previews made me scared for a while. But all's well that ends well.

I just knew someone was going to recognize it :D

Thank you!

Try Mr. Queen. She's not just awesome, she's AMAZING. I hope the story is good enough for her talent.

I understood most of it, but the last part (I used Google Translate on that LOL).

For ML, you could try Just Between Lovers, that's a good drama, IMHO.

For FL, I got nothing. This is my 3rd drama with her as FL, and I didn't much like her in the other two.
