I liked it but I am biased because of my love for cats. I almost dropped it tho because at first I was getting angry with the way the female lead treated the cat. Thankfully that changed fast. But even if I love cats, I am not going to say this is an amazing drama. This is definitely one of those light watches for when you have some free time and want to enjoy something relaxing in between other dramas.

Not really. Lately they have been releasing a lot of properly subbed dramas. But they are mostly new dramas that are quite popular. I agree that they probably wont fix the subs on this one tho.

Yeah, definitely not. You would get tired of this one really fast. It is just not worth watching unless you are completely new to the drama world or have a liking for frustrating, melodramatic and overly cliché plots.

haha glad I could help. When you said you wanted something fluffy, I knew we were in sync in terms of preferences so I automatically had a bunch of dramas to recommend. lol

I did see some similarities to repeat the year in the romance department. But here it is even more subtle. The way it ended makes us certain that there is a strong and beautiful friendship between the main leads. There are hints of a possible romance, especially with the last few seconds of their conversation, but it is not as obvious as it was in repeat the year. One could argue they are just friends, nothing more and nothing less. So if you decide to watch this, watch it for the thriller/mystery part.

The last 2 episodes were a little predictable (at least for me) and not as exciting to watch. But they managed to wrap up things nicely. 8/10

I know. I wish I read my own comment before watching it. LOL

Not a bad thing. You can enjoy life more that way. But always remember not everyone is a good person so avoid going out alone at night or sharing too much about yourself on social media.

Yeah, I dont believe so either. In fact, this time it seems the prosecutor is the one with the twisted personality. I think the writers are trying to mess with our heads, making us question even who is who, but I am pretty sure the actors are playing the same people in both lives. And I think there is still more to find out about the past cause clearly the detective was stabbed but his skull was intact, in fact the killer should have been the one with a shattered skull since he shot himself in the head....or did he? Who did the whole funeral thing? Where did the book and the rope come from? There are a lot of things we dont know yet. And I like that because that is what will keep the story interesting.

Yeah. I know what you mean. If you watch a few true crime videos on youtube you will find out that in modern day serial killings and horrific deaths are more common than you think.

I have watched all the dramas you mentioned and I have watched until ep 14 of the drama Girlfriend. I think I know exactly what kind of drama you are looking for and I can think of a "few". Definitely give Girlfriend a try, I think you will like it.
Also, here are some dramas you might enjoy: Love Better Than Immortality, Love The Way You Are, My Fantastic Mrs Right (just finished this one, watch on dramanice for proper eng subs), The Eternal Love 1 and 2, The Love by Hypnotic, The Romance of Hua Rong, Time Teaches Me to Love, To Get Her.

They are mostly historical ones because it is my favourite genre for chinese dramas and some might have dramatic moments because no drama is always just happiness, but most of it is fluff, romance, and comedy. So at least some of these might be to your liking.

Yeah. I think that was missing. I have no idea why they did not show how the other people who also did the reset were living their lives or why they did not reserve more time for the meeting between the detective and the writer. We know they are not just friends, there is more going on, so it would have been nice to see them going on a date with Maru or something. XD

Yeah. That is how I know that I liked this drama. Because I was left with that empty feeling of it not being enough or not knowing what to watch next.

Yeah. Most remakes are never good and if you try to make a remake of a drama that might have been popular 15 years ago but was full of what we consider clichés nowadays, of course it is not going to be well received. Because what was new and exciting then, now it is just predictable and frustrating to watch. Maybe I would have liked this kind of plot back when I started watching asian dramas, but now that I have been through several drama tropes like amnesia, kidnappings, truck of doom, evil mother-in-law and so on, this kind of plot is a pain to watch if its not executed well.

I was unsure about this having only 12 eps (or 24 depending on the perpective) and I did feel there were some things that needed explaining. But then if this had 4 more episodes the story would probably drag and since this is based on a japanese drama I am not surprised we were left with so many questions.

Part of me also wishes there was romance. I mean, it is kinda there, it is implied that they have feelings for each other but this is not fully explored. But since the plot was interesting enough and the drama was shorter than your usual kdrama, I was able to deal with the lack of romance. I liked the drama and was excited each and every episode that came out but at the same time there were a lot of things that I predicted and the ending was good but not satisfying at the same time. Oh well, I have mixed feelings so it is hard to explain. I think I wanted more. T T

If you are looking for something fluffy and cute, this is not the drama. This is based on an older drama so it is very cliché and dramatic. There are a lot of accidents going on, the main leads spend most of the drama apart and the romantic scenes are not enough to make up for all the frustrating things that are going on. Tell me 1 or 2 dramas in the genre that you really liked and I might be able to recommend you something you would like. I have watched plenty of fluffy and cute dramas. XD

I did not watch the original so my opinion is solely based on this version. I think this drama has some serious pacing and plot issues. You are given about 4 episodes of character introduction and shown what is going on in their lives. Then in the next 2 eps you see the male lead lose his memory and by the end of episode 6 he is already in love with the female lead. Then you get like 10 more episodes or so of them spending time together and then guess what, another accident happens and he regains his memory while losing the memories he made with the female lead (this is not a spoiler, it is revealed in the synopsis). And then you have over half of the drama of pain for everyone and the male lead being mostly a jerk. Also, there are lots of accidents happening all the time. By the time you reach the end of the drama you wonder why you even wasted your time watching it.

Be it the plot, the romance, or even just the characters, there was nothing I truly liked about this drama. In fact, I finished it in only a day and not because I wanted to binge-watch it because it is so good, but because I kept skipping scenes as I just wanted to get it over with. Maybe this is your kind of drama, maybe I would have liked it more had I watched it 10 years ago, but in 2020 this kind of plot is nothing new or entertaining to watch.

There has always been a lot of cross dressing in Chinese historical dramas. In fact, it is hard to find a drama where the female lead does not pretend to be a man at least once throughout the drama. lol
So I dont think it has anything to do with the bans going on over there. They are always banning stuff anyway.

If you want something fluffy and simple to watch, then this is a good pick.

Ok, thank you for explaining. I dont like relationships that start when one or both of the main leads are still in a relationship with someone else, especially if there is a marriage and kids involved. My guess from reading the synopsis is he either married her because there was some kind of advantage to doing so, like she being rich and having important connections or something or because she got pregnant. All points to him marrying her for some reason other than loving her.
