I enjoyed the drama overall, but I would have rated it higher if they had focused more on the main plot, which…
agree 100% with you . The main plot is so addictive .. I am rewatching JUST for that
The Ah Ah Rim character was so SO SO SO sugar and plum that she made me head split ,,, That entire arc could have been better with a 'less saintly angelic' character .. That was such a poor melodrama as compared to the main OTP plot .. Eric Mun and the FL actors were brilliant - incredibly natural romance scenes - slice of life quality LOVED THAT .. also liked Yun Sol and Joon Ho
I’d rate Fake It Till You Make It or Begin Again (2024) as slightly better modern dramas about adult love although…
I checked your Profile page and Completed Drama list and ratings 😁
You also enjoyed Another Miss Oh 😝
I've watched it 3 times. Could go a 4th (I call it a hopping watch.. Where I follow the main threads and skip ffd parts I don't need for story progression).
You also have Lighter and Princess - watched 5 times 😜

So here is my honest feedback: I WAS confused by the time lines.. I went back to RESTART after a few eps because it was looking SO interesting!!
I carried a ball of angst and despair in my stomach throughout the drama... BUT that is me.. I enjoy if I can be tense through a drama.. Dying for resolution and what next Especially when it's A drama with flesh and blood characters who are etched in-character and their actions feel "real".. That totally keeps me hooked.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED the ending.. Wouldn't have it any other way : though many would not choose that flavours.
Advice: you HAVE to follow closely to keep the time lines clear - enough cues in it though.. And a game in itself..
I love dramas that pin me to full attention active watching.
The FL character!!! Hats off.
If you like TTOR (not many on MDL come for unusual dramas like that) I have a feeling you may enjoy WHAT IF also.

Oh I 🩷🩷🩷FITYMI Will get to it for a second watch too. 😜
There are two Begin Again dramas: One with Gong Jun and one with Elvis Han. Which one are you referring to? 😂
What If also I'd club in this grouping🤪
BUT precisely as you observed, they are far more serious dramas and don't fall in the traditional rom-com genre.
This one IMO is classic quality rom-com. 😝
BTW I am also tempted to club The Tale of Rose with the previously mentioned 3.. And that drama is even deeper.. The equivalent of Bass.. Again, a class apart in the serious tone gene, that examines human relationships.
This Drama takes the 🏆 for the best Modern romcom CDRAMA. No cheesy rib-tickling, no "man-pleasing" eye-batting, nerd who is stylish, delectable dialogues, then there is Vespa & Roman Holiday Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando on a poster.. Harley and burly aged men.. Ahh the references SO APT for a top of the line Classy Script - Direction - acting!!! Ahh the choice of music!!!
What a rare rare rare gem of a drama..cooked with as much love and care as our ML's Wagyu slices and salmon swirls 💖💖💖💖
Not for those looking for fussy slop and candy floss or loud in your face humour... It's subtle chuckles and guffaw with tears at imperfect humans.. Especially those who struggle with "social skills" and those who are too afraid to commit.
10/10 till now.
Slurping up each episode.
Wallace Huo SHINES on this one. This is his TRUE talent - comedy!!! He DOES SO REMIND YOU of Buster Keaton...
And Zhu Zhu has my heart since The Tale of Rose!! Oh those uniquely placed dimples...and the mischief twinkles in her dark eyes
GEM!!!

Refreshing.. That zing of lemon freshness all over this crunchy yummy salad full of Umami AND sweet sour salt.
BUT this SNAIL pace.. This hitting on the head with hammer till it's pulped...
This being in love with holding shots till your eyes bleed..
Ufffff!!!
Just how much can one FFD to get the story to advance without becoming slush...
The soggy liquid that this tale is becoming - the crunch is going going gone!!!!
I feel terrible watching this absolutely fresh story be leached away with OVERCOOKING!!!
It could easily have been a delish saute of crunch and flavour at just about 25 eps at most - from the amount I am FFD ing to move the story along.
Also agree. The chemistry is JUST NOT working!!!
