Thank you so much for this information. I am removing this from my To Watch list. I cannot abide stalkerish, forward women.

Wow, thanks for the warning. That sounds like an absolute train wreck.

The way you described the SML and the SFL was perfect! Are most of the writers men? That might explain the dichotomy. Sometimes I think that it's because if a woman is pretty, she thinks she should be able to have whatever she wants, entitlement. Plus, the female characters are able to get away with so much. I know that respect is a big thing in Korea, but the ML often puts up with a lot of conniving from a SFL, which never seems realistic to me. There have been a few shows where the SFL has been so bad, the white truck of doom would have been welcome (of course I can't think of them right now!)

Maybe they only think it's a love triangle if all parties are romantically involved? Then, to me, that becomes infidelity, and that's another matter entirely.

Do they consider it a triangle only if the person likes two different people? I don't know, but it seems like almost every show has either one or the other - 1) the secondary guy that likes the girl, but wants her happiness, even if that isn't with him; and/or 2) the secondary girl that thinks that OF COURSE they guy is going to choose her, even when she does evil stuff to get his love. To me, this is one of those K-drama tropes.

Okay, now that's just weird. Of course, technologically speaking, if there is something out of whack, it's always me.

Skip episode 0. That's a mash up of things that you'll see in the regular episodes. Or watch episode 0 and then seriously FF through episodes 1-2. I'm finding it very draggy in general, it seems very repetitive.

The time skips are usually pointless.

At the beginning FL has a crush one someone else. And, of course, there is the obligatory woman that is scheming to get the ML.

Episode 0 is a mash up of scenes from the regular episodes. After watching it and moving on to episode 1, I felt like I was having deja vu!

You are right about that. I wish I'd been keeping track of the number of time travel/shift shows that I've watched. I keep feeling a strong sense of deja vu every time I watch a show these days.

I loved your review! Your phrase "everyone gets something, Oprah style"? Brilliant! I started this show last night and the first episode seemed to be a month long. Already it seems copy and paste to me - how many times have we seen this?

I thought his acting was okay for the part, and I really didn't see an age difference when they were acting together, maybe because he was mature, but some of her actions were immature.

Thank you!

I have a medical background as well, and I didn't care for this series at all. LOVED Hospital Playlist though.

Nope, you aren't the oddball. Well, if you are, you aren't the lone oddball. I didn't like it.

It wasn't the worst I'd ever seen.

So, apparently 2023 was the year of time travel?

Is this a remake of One Spring Night? If so, did anyone NOT like One Spring Night, but like this one? I didn't like One Spring Night.

Wonderful review! It makes me want to go back and re-watch it. I didn't realize that it was the same people from the Reply series (which I did not care for). Have you watched Hospital Playlist 2? The excellence continued, as far as I was concerned.
