It couldve been better....

First off, this was ok. I liked the potential of the plot and the acting was amazing. However, I dont think it needed to be 36 episodes long... especially if you take into account that most of it was filler... And I hated the filter they put on it that made them look even paler.

The plot had a good base, but it was executed poorly. It had potential, but it was lost. I mean, Zheng Shuyi got with Shi Yan to get back at her ex and the homewrecker. The ex out of nowhere wants her back, and the homewrecker has some weird hate for her. They couldve spent more time on that rather than the side characters getting into relationships out of nowhere. Miss Homewrecker couldve tried to ruin her career when she realized the ex still liked her. She couldve found out sooner and tried to ruin her relationship with Shi Yan. Or the ex couldve. There were so many options... but what we got was... eh...

I find it crazy that out of every adult in this show, the only one with SOME sense is Shiyue. Like girl knew how to communicate, express her love, and she didnt hold back. Its so odd that a 22-23 year old can do that but not a 25, 27, and 30 year old. AND OLD PARENTS.

Even Yi Yang was better at doing that, and he just saw everything as a competition with Shi Yan!

What I also found odd was the strange plotline of Mr. Guan (Shi Yans friends dad) and Ms. Tang (Shuyis boss)... like why are they a thing? Why is it important enough to be a plot? Because I dont see it.

Another thing I hated was the fact that Shuyi was an idiot. Youre telling me that youre listening to your single friend, who only has flings for relationship advice? WHEN EVERY PIECE OF ADVICE SHE GAVE YOU ENDED UP MAKING THINGS WORSE!!!

And now when its all gone to shit, shes like... "maybe you shouldve confessed sooner..." WHEN SHES THE ONE THAT SAID IT WAS A BAD IDEA. Like oh my god. No hate for the friends relationship history, but cmon now... shes never had a boyfriend... But even if she never did, she wouldnt have been that bad if she gave SOME solid advice.

The only good thing about this show was the cute scenes, the beginning bc at least it was interesting, when Shi Yan and Shuyu found out thr homewrecker was a liar and Shiyue. Overall, the actual plot got lost.

And they patched things up out of nowhere... I was confused... But Ive spent my time watching 32 episodes... so Im going to watch the rest.

Dylan and Bai Lu nailed their characters though, and carried out the show amazingly despite the questionable script.

Amazing in every way imo

Watching this made me bawl. I dont know if its because I can relate to Yi Jae or what but it made me cry.

This drama really was amazing through and through. Showing how rash decisions can be ones greatest regret. While he was justified in wanting to die to end his pain, he was punished for not thinking about the after affects.

As someone who tried the same, this show really made me think about how devastated my own family wouldve been. My parents sacrificed themselves just like Yi Jaes mom. And while my parents are in no way perfect or as nice as Yi Jaes mom, that wouldnt change the fact that my parents wouldve blamed themselves.

A lot of people see an issue with the fact that he was portrayed as selfish and greedy, but in my opinion he wasnt portrayed that way. He got a bunch of shit thrown his way during his life. And because of that he ended up killing himself. But he also blamed other people for his life. Like the man, whose life he wanted, that killed himself on his interview day. Whom in the end, he became him. He died in public, harming those who witnesses his death. Like the girl he accidentally killed when killing himself (my assumption to those sidewalk, covered bodies scenes). He did the same as the man he blamed in ruining his chance at working at Taekang Group.

Life doesnt end up the way we want. But sometimes its still worth living. At some poing we will all end up with some sort of happiness (given one doesnt intervene, like murderers etc).

The whole show is showing the fact that he ignored and took for granted the positives in his life. His mom, his girlfriend and possibly his friends. And solely focused on his wrongs.

While we have the option to do that, it can lead to us harming others. Whether its drastic choices like this or something else.

In the end he learned something from each life. The most notable, the police officer, whom he lived a similar life to. They both lived in fear and were "cowardly". And his mom, as he realized others persevere through all hardships in search of or because of one single happiness source. Each life made him regret his choice.

The ending was a 50/50 for me. Mostly because if its his second life, then wouldnt everyone who he helped end up not happening. The CEO and artist will continue killing. The police officer wont die a hero. The teenager wont stand up for himself, and stop a bully.

But he gets his chance to love what he does have, for however long he has it. Because at the end of the day, he is human and we make choices we regret.

It was SO CUTE

I will say this, it did have some unnecessary things that barely got an explanation.

First, why did Lin Xis dad suddenly get stabbed making her stay back a year in HS? They showed NO issues of her brothers murderer being ANYWHERE near them. This was so confusing and he just ended up getting arrested... but like why did it happen?

Two, when they met the senior at the university (the drama girlie) HOW did she not recognize Lin Xi? It made it seem like they were strangers and she was just this girl that Ji Jun Xing was supposedly in a relationship with... Like, I wouldve assumed they wouldve became friends since they met the year prior and Ji Jun Xing was friends with her.

Also, why did they have so many side characters liking the mains? Song Lin Xue, who had a crush on Ji Jun Xing since they were kids, the classmate that had a vendetta against Lin Xi because she was better than her academically and Ji Jun Xing was friends with her, and Qin Kai liking Lin Xi. Like, thats so many and for what? I feel like one or MAX two wouldve been fine.

Fourth, Chen Mo and Gao Yun Lang were dating right? Or at least they had a crush on each other? Or Chen Mo did? It gave those vibes but it was never confirmed...

But, despite those weird situations, the show is actually really good and so cute. I thought their relationship was so cute. No matter what situation got in between them theyd always find a way back to each other. Its definitely a slow burn, but I think it made sense that it was a slow burn. Lin Xi had the fact that her brothers heart got donated to Ji Jun Xing on her mind all the time, so she wasnt focused on dating him because she saw him as a brother/friend. Of course feelings developed as Ji Jun Xing stopped being a closed off loner freak. But it was also cute in terms that all 6 of them became close friends. In the beginning it jusg seemed like Ji Jun Xing and Xie Ang were best friends, Chen Mo and Gao Yun Lang were best friends, and Lin Xi and Jiang Yi Mian became best friends, but to each other they were just classmates. Then they became close and stayed close for years to come. It was just a very heartwarming drama. I loved it!
