I have watched a lot of K&C dramas and I see common things between the two when come to scripts. ML characters, most of the time, are crafted to perfection, like AI humans, leaving almost zero room for criticism.
Taking the ML of this drama for example, have we ever found any fault on him? And is there a super hot male irl who only loves one woman his entire life, even at some points he thought his love was unrequited, still, remaining single longing for her.
However, not so much when comes to FLs, most of the criticisms are she's stupid, annoying, cringe, and everything else in between.
Taking the FL of this drama for example, her main mission is traveling back in time to save ML. Of course, life is not perfect and fate is unpredictable, nothing can happen as planned. And, she's not AI, so, she would make mistakes along the way or else we wouldn't have 16 eps. Yet, we see criticisms like she' so stupid doing this and that, should have done this and that, annoying , cringe and such.

I've been putting this on hold since ep 16, waiting for it to finish then binge the whole thing, probably from begin to end. Well, I have lots of free time this summer :-)
Just one thing about YM's makeup that bugs me a lot.
YM is beautiful as always but it seems too much makeup, too meticulous and that was kind of having a backfire effect on me, making her look older than she really is.

Hilarious, quirky, clever choice of words, swearing but not swearing, but swearing 🤣

Long life long street, similar story with equally details of that

Bruh, now that the show is over, bunch of links of BWS doing this and that, enjoying the limelight. Where is KHY? disappearing from the sun I guess. I know male celebs are treated better due to big fangirl base. But it becomes more annoying with all these links popping up here. Common, it takes two to tangle. The show wouldn't have been this exploded without KHY.

Ah that couple. Yeah i feel u

Well, if you put it that way.
She traveled back in time. So she had the mind of 30 years old in a 15 or 16 years old's body. So technically she was same age or younger than him at the time. Also, they didn't do anything inappropriate. They only kissed once she travelled back to college timeline.

Exactly, now think of it why do they always have the same reason "due to busy schedules", either Hollywood or K-dramaland or C-dramaland? , LOL

Yep, or apple to orange. They taste different but at the end of the day, they're all fruit 😁

Agree. I used to love DOTS and kept re-watching it until I read too much into the real life breakup and saw how much flakes SHK received.

It's understandable that spot light shines more on BWS since vast audience of Rom Coms are female, swooning over hot, hopeless romantic ML.
Just my personal opinion, I think KHY did more heavy lifting that contributed to the drama's success.
I'm sure BWS will have a lot projects line up for him. Just hope the same will be for KHY.
Love them both and can't wait to see them again onscreen.
Now back to re-watch for ... n times.

Nah, dating irl is a no no. Onscreen relationship is a fantasy. They stayed in characters for months, delivering more than real chemistry that overwhelmingly makes us audience wonder were they really acting or actually in love with each other.
However, once the camera turned off so was the end of the fantasy love story. 99% onscreen couples who become couples irl breakup sooner or later, Song Song couple for example and countless couples in Hollywood

It's just stuck in my mind when he asked her - who am i to you? One day if i disappear will you be sad?
The boy is so hopeless romantic.

All in all, I feel a bit disappointed. The famous cast, spectacular visual effects can't save a show if script/director are not up to par. They didn't even care to incorporate some fighting choreography.
First impression is important to these long dramas for viewers. That's why we always have 4-6 eps at first go I guess. For me, as much as I love the cast, the first impression fell short for me.
It does get better but, to some viewers, the damage has been done.

My, oh, my, the last ep was sweetness overloaded. So much so that I have diabetes on the spot LOL.
Figurative speaking, it's like the writers/directors have prepared a delicious meal for us then topped off with a delicious cake.

The lottery winning number she gave her brother, he has been playing for years but only won once he accidentally, drunkenly shared with 50 people.
And i say genius writer. The scene was hilarious, yet touching.

Till now, it's been round and round. He ended up getting hurt every time one way or another. He's still drawn to her regardless how much she has tried to push him away.
Can we defy or alter fate in fantasy world of time travel?
There may be happy ending, but there has to be a consequence, like he'll live but she's back in wheelchair for example.

They were supposed to be half siblings, same dad, different moms, until it was revealed that the dad was not her dad.
He was fond of her the day she was born, the original Yi Ning. But she followed her family mistreating him so he resented her. When she was 7, she fell into the water and he hesitated to save her. but he did eventually. The real Yi Ning actually die then. And FL reincarnated to her body, 7 years old body but had the mind of like 20 when she die originally.
She reincarnated back and forth past/present/future so she knew what happened between him and the original Yi Ning and how the family mistreated him and decided to fix that. Became nicer, closer to him. He became closer to her, protected her, and eventually fell in love with her even before knowing they weren't related by blood.
He was a caring, protective brother. but when it comes to love, he, like other men around her, took her for granted.
You have to read the novel to fully know what I meant by bunch of a**holes. Google translate was not good but did give the whole picture.

Few hours till showtime. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

He was a son of a concubine, and hence mistreated and neglected during childhood. But as the synopsis said, he was smart. FL reincarnated to the future and saw he had become a powerful, high ranking official. so in this life, she encourage him to study and take the test. After few years, he passed and become a high ranking official. The table turned, his family now were scared of him. He was upright but ruthless, didn't hesitate to kill, didn't hesitate to punish even if his family. He became more powerful and power struggle with SML both in politics and relationship with FL.
The novel is female centric, more of FL's journey of reincarnations and narrated by FL's perspective. I think the drama has changed it to male centric, so we will probably see more of ML's character.
