This is honestly such a great drama. I haven't really found any good J dramas out there except Mischievous Kiss.…
I can see the similarities. It might be because they are both based off of shoujo mangas, and it’s a popular formula. I recommend Kahogo no Kahoko and Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu.
1. because everything is a loop, then what happened in the past to HYX and LZW. for example on HYX case, what…
1. I figure it’s the soul that is traveling, the writers made it seem as though the souls of the doppelgängers were linked somehow. So even if CYR dies, HYX’s soul will go back to her own body. The the thing I was most confused on was the last time travel, when HYX and MJJ were able to save CYR from dying at the last minute. LZW was caught in two loops. First loop: The young LZW in WQS body & Second loop: the old LZW in his own body. At the airport they both realized something. The young LZW realized that he had to get on the plane for HYX to be able to change the past, and the old LZW regained his faith that they would be able to change the past. When LZW returned to his original body in 2003, he tried to stop MJJ from killing himself and lost his faith in changing the past when he couldn’t.
2. Two LZWs exist from 2003 - 2017, however he is not in control of both consciousnesses at the same time. They just happen to live in a parallel time continuum. In 2017, the young LZW died in the plane crash and that’s where his time loop ended.
3. The starting point for the loop was CYR’s car accident - the first time she was rescued by the killer and hit over the head by him. When the real CYR awoke in the hospital the second time, it was from the car accident and not from getting hit on the head. This means that they were able to successfully keep the killer from traveling to the past and starting the same loop again. They realized that trying to change the past mucks everything up.
I found the film cute and funny. I’m surprised at how low the viewership is on this site considering how it was advertised as the highest-grossing Chinese domestic film of all time. I was curious about it for a long time, but the genre wasn’t really my cup of tea.
Pleasantly surprised how much substance is in this webdrama. The only drawback is Chuu’s overload of agyeo / cuteness, but she had an interesting backstory as did all the characters.
Hm.. a sci-fi melodrama. That “filled with stories of heartbreaking loneliness and tear-stained love” threw me, but I hope it’s good, Happy to see Go Sung Hee as a female lead.
I've seen everything. The first parts were interesting. The medium of the show was a little boring. The end of…
So true. I kept wondering where the original psychiatrist female lead went, even though her character wasn’t that great in the beginning either - she was perceptive.
On Netflix it’s 31 episodes, no wonder the endings felt abrupt sometimes. It was cute, but the female lead’s acting started to annoy me. She only had a handful of expressions that she recycled throughout the drama, but the most annoying we’re those puffy and ducky face. Although there was a nice amount of skinship in the drama, it felt awkward at times.
My Mister was undeniably one of Lee Sun Gyun’s best acted roles and my favorite character of his. If Diary of a Prosecutor can match that level of humanistic acting, I will check it out. Needless to say, I love law dramas.
Battle Royale, Lesson of the Evil, and The Wailing was great - will have to check out the others! I reccommend reading some of Junji Ito's work. His short stories are fun and Uzuamaki was an experience, haha.
I thought 24 episodes (48 30min chunks) would feel long even for a sageuk drama, but I couldn't get enough. Each actor portrayed their character exceptionally and there were so many layers in this drama, I wish it didn't end.
Morita Misato's Megumi really made this drama, I wish there was more focus on her storyline. Even though the history of the early AV industry in '80s can be interesting, after a while I didn't really care much for the main plot or Toru's storyline.

4. The older LZW from 2019 gave her the walkman.
