Yup. He said it over and over again how he could see through her lies and that he held back to give her time but he just couldn’t wait anymore since his feelings overcame his rational thinking. That’s love. Also, if he sensed that she did not have feelings for him and if she flat out told him to stop, he would’ve stopped. She kept giving him hope by not fully understanding her own feelings and a part of her wanted him to bring it out of her. She said it more than once that she didn’t want to leave partly due to him.

Thanks.

I completely understand their feelings and choices. I thought the scene when she broke down in front of her friend over his text was so well acted and written. She laid all her insecurities and vulnerability on the table. She admitted how she never dared to even allow herself time to think about love let alone a relationship due to her struggles. It felt so real in a sense because so many of us struggled through the same thing when life gets in the way of establishing meaningful relationships. In the Korean society, they place so much pressure on their children, it’s no wonder none of them had a proper childhood let alone youth. Look at all those students studying from dusk till dawn like zombies.

I agree that the virgin trope/chastity belt for the duration of their adulthood is overplayed and unrealistic. This is in Cdramas as well. It would’ve been better to show ML in casual relationships but never serious since he’s been waiting for her & for FL to have unsuccessful relationships due to her work schedule and lack of time. They’re definitely trying to desperately fulfill this idea of staying pure for your true loves which is nice but not realistic in today’s society.

I think she’s always been secure in her job, it’s the people around her who don’t trust her. As for him, he’s been successful in his previous corporate job but he was bored. Honestly, it’s a drama and for entertainment. If they only showed them focusing on advancing their careers and only tidbits of their love lives, we wouldn’t be here.

Great points but I see things a bit different.

I don’t see the progression being the issue at the moment. What we learned is that he’s always been in love with her but never had the opportunity since he had to prioritize his education and career. She realized she’s also had feelings for him but was forced to grow up at a young age to care for her family (the director mentioned tuition for her brother and hospital bills for her father). Now, they’re both at a time in their lives where they can both make each other the priorities. Their past connection has been so strong and it helps with developing their true feelings for each other by taking us back in time to revisit those moments.

That being said, when you realized how strong their connection has been and continue to be, you understand why they’re choosing each other. They’re not necessarily putting their goals on the side but rather, taking a moment to enjoy their deserved happiness after working so hard for the past decade.

I don’t see ML as pushy. I see him as ambitious & confident. He didn’t force her and even told her to go work any where else if it meant a better opportunity for her. FL is not someone who gets pushed around either. She’s inexperienced in love & letting him lead for a change. It’s a good dynamic.

I still blame Netflix.

I’m more interested in Dong Hee & In Na. I don’t care for the FL at all. I love my Jang Ki Yong but there’s no chemistry.

It was a mystery for her to figure out how to save him

You’re right. She didn’t just date him. But Idk why it started to drag towards the end for me.

Yup! It’s not consistent at all. They spent so much time giving us the unnecessary love mishap with SML that led to nothing, all the cringey lovey dovey scenes, & scenes with the parents which also led to nowhere. The tone started out mysterious and a bit dark with her accident and his death but then turned into a high school rom com real quick even though she’s still the adult in her 30s living in her high school time line. She couldn’t do anything significant in the 4 time lines given except dated him.

Yea & when he fell off the cliff I thought it was way too dramatic. plenty of people survive single stab wound

Agreed. We’re not given clear info on the time travel rules but it’s been excessive & overdone. FL is impulsive & not rational.

Unpopular opinion but… it’s dragging to the finish line for me.

The starting over and over and over may be better in a shorter series. I don’t care for any of the side characters. The mystery is no longer interesting.

Dee: that’s a big bite.
Yak: you’ve experienced a bigger bite.
Me: 😳

Y’all better stop with this!!!!!

Damn those nurses are too down with the chisme instead of saving patients.

Thanks for letting me know. You the real MVP

My bad. I mixed it up. I couldnt get into Unknown because of the brother lover trope

the way those buttons held on for dear life on his tight uniform got me gagging for air. i wanted to see what was underneath so bad and this series delivered. like, from the get go we got half nakey Yak and I was yacking for air.

I couldn’t get into We Are. Perhaps the trauma of brother lover in one of the History got me fucked up. I’ll try Unknown now that you mentioned it.

i hope he swings both ways

i've been in a rut lately with the mass quantities of BL so I've been MIA. Inspector M brought me back when I saw a video on TikTok . I knew my thirsty ass had to run back in here . And needless to say, the comment section did not disappoint.

He’s so different here from Inspector M. I was shook but it shows how versatile he is as an actor. His abs remain the same and I’m grateful for that.

Y’all be ready to hang out towels like Oprah giving out cars. We’re going to need them
