I forgot this was a GMMTV drama for a minute and was so surprised when JJ turned up… then I remembered.
I think everyone saw Phus arch coming - I think I’m the only viewer actually surprised by the route this has taken - I thought there was going to be betrayals, but this goes beyond that. excited for Prem - going off of next weeks trailer this is truly unlike any role we’ve seen from him before.
I’m so so happy I saved this for after Twelve Letters I want to see Yi Ran in a role where he can be cute and in love and not suffering alone - I love that drama - but feel I need this one to heal me.
WOAH! this is one of my top 5 dramas of all time… maybe even 3! I wish we had an extra 15mins at the end to…
One thing I’m dying to know if anyone knows is… we have letter boxes: #2 - In 1991 #3 - In 2026 #4 - In the very last scene I wonder where letterbox #1 was? Any theories?
And spoiler feelings: I am still sad about Brother Cha - I know his story was an example of what Tang and Xun could’ve become. And he got his dream of living on a boat, but alone forever. But then I did love Zhang Guans arch! Did not see that coming. I liked that they gave the more sidelined or “comic relief” characters all their moment to save the day at the very end. And overall I’m just so happy the soulmates get to spend a long and happy life together!
WOAH! this is one of my top 5 dramas of all time… maybe even 3! I wish we had an extra 15mins at the end to see where all the characters are, but I guess we have seen all of their futures… throughout the drama. Crazy that there’s no kiss or suggestion of anything of the sort, but it’s got to be one of my favourite on-screen romances. I also love that this could be a drama without the fantasy element - it would just be one of the most soul crushing stories ever, but the letterboxes add just enough wimsy magic and mystery sprinkled throughout that the misery is more bareable.
I do also have a question below - but it’s spoiler-ish.
yes, what they say about episode 8 is true. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard non-stop throughout an entire episode. All the emotions are just so real and so painful. What really got me was how nostalgic a certain part of the episode was - it felt like mourning for your youth, everything changes, people move on, places are torn down and rebuilt - so you can’t go back to your youth, you can just hold on to the memories of it. All of this to say - it’s 2am I should be doing to sleep but I’m going on to episode 9 instead.
I’m gonna be honest, I liked the first couple of episodes but I don’t think I completely got the hype - but slowly as each episode went by my love and obsession for this series grew and now here I am a mess after crying for pretty much an hour straight! This series is phenomenal!
this had such a strong start and the last episode was perfect. Atoms conversation with his mum made me tear up. And there were so many ridiculously cute moments through out. I think the negativity around this comes from expectations being too high. Adapting one of the most beloved bl jdramas, with at the time one of the most beloved bl pairings at GMMTV - so when it wasn’t quite at the expected standard people were let down - but ignoring those factors this is a good, fluffy, cute bl. I’m glad I gave it a go!
I’ve always been looking for a drama that captures a little of the magic, pain, love and heartbreak of “Someday or One Day” (one of my favourite dramas of all time) and this is the first series that feels like that. I’m only halfway through this and feel like I may end up crying even more for this series and I cried buckets in the second half of SDOOD!
I love this series! but I’m sad they decided to do a time jump - I get that nothing in the plot has really changed, but I feel like our 2 leads have - I really wish we could’ve had just half an episode to show what happened over that year - but I understand that this does have a limited number of episodes to tell quite a big story. And the bit with Jump broke my heart. I just want them all to leave politics, go back to the village and be happy.
I haven’t watched this since it first aired - so I was just gonna watch a little of the first episode to remind myself what happens at the start - bad idea! Now I’m 5episodes in and it’s 2am! Why didn’t I rewatch this sooner!
this cinematographer consistently has series that look really different from anything else airing - his unique vision always comes across. I love what he’s done here!
I’m unsure if I should start this. Reply 1994 is the only Reply series I’ve seen and I felt that it was so average and I just didn’t love it! If I wasn’t a big fan of that one is this similar enough that this probably also wouldn’t be my thing?
I have to say that I really appreciate that this director gave us 2 of the most green flag relationships this year with this and Reset. The series are very different, but I really liked that both leading relationships showed the characters slowly opening up to each other, healing each other and becoming each others support - they both have mystical elements but the relationship progressions felt a lot more real and natural than quite a few of BLs I’ve seen recently. I am excited to see what director A will do next!
Offroad is DELIVERING! He’s been great in more cheerful cute roles in his previous series, but I LOVE him here - rich, almost too confident, a little bratty and snobbish, but really he’s just suffering from trauma and this is all a front - I eat up this type of lead everytime!!!
loved the opening credits - great song and gave hints to the backstory of the characters, but nothing major - I’m definitely intrigued and interested to see where this goes!
that scene in the forest with Punn and Ramil was actually really good - I was so invested! The magical world felt really out of place in this series - but I kind of loved it - the oversaturated colours, the different epic landscape and the orchestral score was beautiful. And I’m really intrigued by Ploys character! I want more of the Queen of demons!!!
And I need more Mekhin and Pokpong - last week was too sweet - it brought tears to my eyes - and I missed them so much this week!
the way I loved and hated these characters at different times, because they were all so human and real and layered. This is such a beautiful series, but I have one complaint, why did they have to make me bawl my eyes out from episode 9-12!? The entire way through those 4 episode! It’s a perfect series about imperfect characters!

#2 - In 1991
#3 - In 2026
#4 - In the very last scene
I wonder where letterbox #1 was? Any theories?
