reset made me lose it (in the best way possible)
i think i can safely say that i loved it. i’ve always liked dramas that stress you out and make you wish everything gets resolved already so you can stop losing your mind, and this was exactly that. i spent the whole time making theories, being suspicious of everyone, laughing, crying, getting mad… there was even a point where i almost dropped it, not because it was bad, but because i was so stressed i couldn’t take it anymore (though obviously i didn’t, it was way too good to stop watching).the story, even though it’s about a time loop, doesn’t feel repetitive at all. each loop brings something new and it’s super interesting to see how they handle every one. i really liked both leads, i didn’t know the actress before, but she did such a good job. you could really feel every emotion she was trying to show. i also liked getting to know the background of each character, it gave the story a lot more depth.
i usually don’t mention music much, but i have to say the ending song, “my only” by zhou shen, really stood out to me. from the first episode, it caught my attention and fit the vibe of the drama perfectly.
i loved it. it was intense, exciting, well acted, and had a story that really pulled me in. i wouldn’t mind rewatching it someday just to catch little details i might’ve missed the first time.

warm, sweet, and just the right kind of soft.
this drama felt like a hug after the emotional rollercoaster that was the first frost. it’s not the kind of show that wrecks you, it just gently wraps you in sunshine and kindness. the relationship between the leads was easily the best part: natural, warm, and full of mutual respect. their skinship didn’t feel forced or overly dramatized, it just fit, and that made everything more real.i really appreciated how healthy their relationship was. they actually communicated like adults (imagine that), and there was no over the top drama or unnecessary angst between them. that said, the storyline toward the end kind of lost me, that arc felt a bit tacked on and dragged things out more than it needed to.
still, this is a great comfort drama. if you’re in the mood for something that’ll make you smile and maybe feel a little too single, this one’s a lovely pick.

fun at the front, filler in the back
this took me way too long to finish, but honestly, that was on me (read as me not being able to let duan jiaxu go). the drama is really cute and lighthearted, it made me laugh a lot, and i loved the main couple. seeing zheyuan play such a silly, chaotic character was so fun, and shen yue is always amazing.that said… not gonna lie, the second couple didn’t do it for me. they had a little too much screen time, and i just wasn’t that interested. also, mao xiaojun’s whole storyline felt kind of weird? maybe it’s just me, but i didn’t really get it.
still, it’s a sweet drama overall. not life-changing, but definitely a fun and easy (or not?) watch.
edit; i originally gave it a 6 but after giving it a thought, i decided that the vow's scene and the child are enough reasons for me to give it a little more... after a few days of finishing it i can really say that it grew on me, i love both of them to be honest and they're special to me so.. yeah

more like softly in love, honestly
i was actually into it at first. the story had potential. the FL felt fun and confident at the start, which i really enjoyed.but the second half... kinda lost me. the pacing slowed down, and not much was happening. i had to push myself to finish it, not because it was awful, just because it didn't live up to what the title promised. i felt a lot of things but "being passionately in love" ain't one of them.
wang anyu was definitely a highlight, i really liked his acting and emotional scenes. liu haocun was cute too, maybe not the perfect fit for the role but i still enjoyed her expressions and i'd watch her again... maybe not in a romance tho.
that said, her character was a bit frustrating. i get they were going for confident, but sometimes felt more arrogant or emotionally distant. and those fake kisses weren't of any help.
the ost though? gorgeous. all the songs were amazing and definitely a standout.
overall, not a fave, but not the worst. just a flully drama that started ok but kind of fizzled out.

i don’t even have a favorite character because jin and akin were both amazing in their own ways. their chemistry was insane, you could feel how much they loved and cared for each other. the acting was also so good. boom honestly shocked me with how talented he is. i didn’t know him before this, but now i won’t forget him.
the story was interesting, especially the parts that showed what happens behind the scenes in the industry. they also included the topic of saesangs, which was important, though i’m still unsure about how they handled it. it wasn’t bad, just felt like it could’ve gone deeper. the ending also felt a little rushed to me, but it still worked overall.
one thing i have to mention is the soundtrack, top tier. every single song was amazing and fit the scenes perfectly. it made the emotional moments even stronger.
in the end, i really enjoyed this show. it gave me feelings, made me care about the characters, and reminded me why i love watching bls like this. definitely recommend it!

this drama broke me in the best way
took me a month to finish it but honestly it could’ve been less, and not because it was boring — on the contrary, it’s one of those dramas that makes you feel SO MUCH you need breaks just to breathe.it made me cry, laugh, get angry, stressed… EVERYTHING. it’s a heavy story, touching on real and sensitive topics like war, ptsd, depression, grief, loss… and it does it in a very human way.
li zan is definitely my favorite. i thought it would be impossible to love another chen zheyuan character as much as duan jiaxu, but li zan proved me wrong.
I WOULD BURN EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING JUST TO KEEP HIM WARM.
overall, i loved every character, and of course benjamin and sasin stole my heart too.
the series never felt heavy in a bad way or repetitive. every episode kept me interested; the soundtrack is beautiful, the atmosphere, eeeeverything.
and i don’t care but ben and sasin were in love with each other.
this series made me think a lot — about how hard life can be for some people, how everyone carries their own battles… it’s a drama i will NEVER forget.
would i watch it again? maybe not lmao it’s a bit too much for me, maybe just certain scenes or episodes, but the whole thing? i don’t think so.
the ending honestly shocked me a bit, but unlike what a lot of people think, i felt like it made total sense… i think it was the most realistic ending they could’ve gone for, despite everything.
