Aria18

At this point....after post break-up scenes and rest of the drama i can say and i feel somewhat conflicted also yet i will say i liked the novel not because any specific reason but how it was written for example, how both ML and FL were somewhat equally at fault.

As in drama FL's line is in with novel whereas ML is somewhat potrayed diff than in novel. In its 24 eps....yet damn if you gonna use the lines in novel then the context should align otherwise it will look contradictory. Like shown in drama, they have toned down somewhat personaltiies pf characters as well as they are grey areas and loopholes.

But in novel both were equally shitty and had terrible communications issues....for ML it took bloody 3 years to atleast realise what he lost and it took 3 year for FL to first heal but also realise her self worth and not stuck with the perception of never been equal with ML and somewhat get accustomed with his shitty mouth (sorry for the lang). Yet the 6 years in novel was so toxic and blarong red flags on both ends... Like FL following to the tea of agreement that made in their 1 year of relation of treating the relation as physical only. So she separated him from her personal and emotional life, you can see how bloody cluesless the ML was. But he was there when knowing the death of Best friend of FL i loved that chapters even tho we knew next chap brought them back to square one. And ML eating his own words of crossing the line of pure physical relation wanting more without him knowing finally coming to terms in their breakup era.
I also loved the parents in the novel both FL and ML. Lastly the post break-up chapters in novel just love it!

I know i know the drama and novel is different shown yet similar....i just had to share. As i first read the novel then saw the drama, i was surpised!

I just want a discussion morelike wondering
I was able to digest the novel,
In novel, the fl was insecure always felt that she didnt stand equal with ml. Yet she was potrayed to be a upright, respectful and a firm boundary believer....till 6 years she never ever tried to you know re-confirm her status with ml.....since day one the ml said we are nothing except benefits ....she followed it....she separated him from her life to the point that after breakup or after a beautiful reality check he got to know what fl was capable, what she did and those misunderstanding.

Ml had his separate issues was loving her without loving her. He wanted her to be dependant on him in later years of their dating life...so the marraige scam which in novel was so rough like i could see the crack of ml. Ml left in shadows...fl having her friends circle which cherished alot and didnt want ml interrance on it.


In novel, all matter in different years and their destruction of their relation was shown. It was needed...both parties were equally at fault. Somehow fl was stuck for 6 yrs that she is not more than a bed partner for ml and ml seemed to have forgotten his words and the characteristics of fl of she is. But those 6 years they spent the issues they had was because of them and their way of dealing, not people. I like their parents in the novel mature (felt good to see this set of parents) but in drama they changed it....

I love the drama as it the novel more sophiscated spinning story....as novel is rough, raw. But i like the novel more as it is rough and raw but fulfilling as it took 10 bloody years to overcome....two individual to become one and think for themselves as lovers.....yet it was justified.

Please share your thoughts....im sorry to offend anyone, i did 😅

I am confused with this aspect. Coz the fl says to ml that 'think about it, as there is no going back'...this is not the exact line but summary of it. So i assumed that his time loop will stop.

I just one question, did ding qi actually take the serum, if Mo escapes and ding qi takes serum stopping his loop, then how would will he capture Mo again?

Fl starts to doubt from ep 10 or 11ish...but ep 12 if i am not wrong is the ep where the fl finally knows and burst out at ml

Oh my thank you so much....all the while i was watching the movie, i was like i have seen him somewhere, couldnt recollect and neither i was able to indentify his role in dramas....thank you🙏. I dont think so he has been added here

Who is the guy, in that golf scene...where TJC is calling him senior? Anyone has the idea of actor name?

Um....i dont know how to write this without souning offensive or anything tbh. People might ask why to write in first place then.😅
Truth is i also want to discuss in this forum as i dont people to discuss with....so sorry in advance.

I watched the whole show. I would not say i loveeee this drama or i hateee this drama or im in the middle line.

This drama is refreshing after modern rom slump of cdramas lately....i felt this brought out the curiousity to give it a go, stop skipping (not most of the times) and just watch it.

This drama somewhere or other satisfy me only one aspect that is the insecurity and fear of male lead....till 28 eps...(Car scene especially on top of the mountain to see coty view when fl got to know the company trouble.) Till that it felt like the ml was walking on a egg shell afraid of his fl to leave.
But to balance it out the fl revealed of their relation and also one thing good is she whenever in relation with him wasnt afraid or anything she was proper gf to him.

But her harsh but reality check breakup they way she did, the way he suffered ....after 7 years and after the ml opened up of using his health to keep her close....i wanted to see his secureness and a point in the relationship where he could for once be like...she wont leave me neither i have to think about it.

When they got back together, the way ml said its complex...i would have loved to see it getting elongated and little dwelled into for fl to see more of his mature side. The moment of realisation of how ml has grown into not so innocent but stronger mature man. I know she said to her father how difficult was for him but still something was i mean missing...like ml and fl coming around full round circle. Like fl letting go of the age advices and be assured that whatever ml is doing he must have thought about it. Ml let go of his fear that staying together physically and mentally will keep them together and having to constant think to be more woser or wiser otherwise he might loose her for any mistake happen.

I know i may sound foolish here and its my take. I already agree with pros of the drama.
I dont know these are MY POV ON IT.

True i mean i felt like are you giving the card for her or for both daughter or like idk .....Xu Yan might not if not on the script misunderstood it like the money came when Qiao lin told them the situation but the viewers can always like this....

But in the final scene in ep 32....she did say come back and visit with grandma.....that part....i understand the concept of letting go...but it would have been just better to just let go by keeping quite and being civil and formal with them....xu yan actually could have just silent and let the time heal....the line what bugged me....tbh ....rather than bugging it felt weird...

I understand this like i felt that last scene with her parents in ep 32....when she said come back with grandmom to visit her .....and the smile of letting go ....bittersweet ....that was like i mean i didnt like after all mess she went through letting back her parents.....but i liked when she said come back with grandmom 😂 ....i dont know it was mix emotion of how could she let go of resentment of her parents to letting it go....idk🤷
Sorry if im confusing you😅!

I am sorry to raise this part of plot even though i have to properly watch from ep 28 but while just scrolling through last ep (i dont care of getting spoiler or watching a ep ahead) ....i mean what the heck....suddenly Xu Yan and parents reconcilation scene....bugged me. Um why there is no proper redreeming scene. I mean the beginning eps showed her pain and suffering of lack of childhood and without having a parent. The makers took what around 10ish roughly eps to repair the broken relation of sisters. But for parents just um few mins of scene? Seriously!....or is there a scene before 32nd ep...like between 28-32...where they actually talk (the parents and xu yan) ....?

You can watch it for heck of watching it. Like get it done with. Its a mix of emotion of i gave my time and this what i got (in a good way, like fine it worth of time and i will adjust it coz its 6 eps only) or (other way, will depend on perspective)

I havent read the manga. But season 1 and season 2 were necessary for plot to come together and fit like a puzzle. Be it playing game together physically or mentally for surviving and staying alive in a middle of life and death place.
In Season 3, if the track was going dwelling into Usagi's trauma and setback. That was always in question season 1 and 2 without any conclusive ending for her to let go her father's death. Then show it properly. Even in last ep....i will not say it was proper closure but semi mild one. Thank goodness for 6 eps but whole event started of her getting lured into the world to give her soltitude to ending up with few seconds of that. She knew she had to live from season 1....her will to live was there before getting closure to Arisu even....then she had also purpose etc etc.

But season 3, Ryugi was a character without conclusive plot. Others somehow got one. But i would love to see something unique proper wrap up for season 2 character. Its good last ep they came but....there is always but.

Its just the America thing....and season 4 ...too much stretch. The let baby come out. For godsake. Let arisu and the baby breathe and Usagi too just live without thinking to lure back to other world.
