Moonstruck

Why is my man not getting more projects and main roles???
I swear he seems so charming.
He reminds me of DengLun when he was a teen on SOOD. Then we he matured (37yr old with glasses and his hair brushed up), he has an uncanny resemblance to HyunBin.
I need more series with him as a lead. T.T is he problematic in real life, why isn't he getting more projects?

Although I'm happy with this 'sequel', I'm a bit worried too.
The main series was too perfect, almost no plot holes. I hope this will stay true to the logic they set on the main series seeing that is is the same writer.

The HYX of 2017 (breakup and plane crash year) was still just an ordinary normal girl. Unlike LZW (who is currently living as WQS), she did not (yet) live through tragedies of death and loss. LZW/WQS knows they are living on a borrowed time hence becoming the perfect boyfriend in a false hopes the 'inevitable day' will not come.
I think with HYX it's just the case of 'you don't know what you have until it's gone'. As mentioned, she was at this point just an ordinary making decisions which she think was best for them. She knows WQS loves her so much that he will follow and give up any life opportunities he has just to be with her. It is on the surface just like any ordinary breakup that couples have. Although it's quite apparent (story aside, even if WQS did not die), she will anyhow eventually realise how much she loves him and will get back to him.

We've always seen HYX depressed and desperate for WQS, so it does seem out of character why she'd breakup with him if she loves him this much. But if we back track and put ourself in the position of HYX on 2017 (her not knowing why kind of epic love story they already have), I would say it is understandable.

This is one of the most perfect and seamless time travel love story that I've ever seen.
It stayed consistent to the logic/rules that it has set. After finishing it, I get this many questions and 'what if' scenarios in my head and thought I found a plothole. But when I think it through again, everything did made sense and I get the answers to my own question.
ABSOLUTE BRILLIANT writing, I think the last time I was this engaged into a story is with FLOWER OF EVIL. I love that there is a right balance between the mystery and romance. And it really takes an amazing skill for the writer and director to be able to come up with the perfect pacing. It keeps you hooked, sometimes you think you already know the twist and then it throws you off again. I like that it is complicated and yet not too complicated for us to just give up thinking altogether.

The one thing that I struggled with though is caused by the subtitle confusion. I kept thinking CYR death was on New Year Eve as in Dec31 1998. But then I realised they were talking about CHINESE NEW YEAR which was Feb14, 1999.

Another question that I have is that we were bombarded by HYX's memories of her time together with WQS and her love for him, and yet it seems out of character that she initiated the break up just because she wanted to move, like haven't they heard of long distance relationship. I thought about this a lot, until I came up with my own conclusion (see in the spoiler comments below).

yes, Lee DoHyun too. And how could I have forgotten about Nam JooHyuk as well.
Honestly, I don't like what Ahn HyoSeop did in A Business Proposal, which is one of my favorite manhwa. Now I'm worried of his adaptation of another one of my most favorite story. Li Zi Wei is just so perfect, and I truly truly hope he can pull it off. And I may also be partially biased as I never find Ahn HyoSeop attractive and all the other dramas I've seen of his never impressed me with his acting. I love this story so much though so I'll still give it a chance.

I'm currently watching the original TW version and thinking who is suited for the remake.
I don't know about the FL, but for the ML (no hate to Ahn HyoSeop) I keep imagining Hwang InYeop. The rest of the seasoned actors might be too old to play teenager.
He'll be perfect for the role.
The duality of being an adult and also playing a role of highschooler will work perfectly for this.
And also with how he acted in True Beauty, I can definitely see him pulling off this chill and slightly cocky ML part.

We usually always empathize with the underdogs and I'm definitely with you on wanting the best for RunYu. I remember some years back while this was airing that I post a lot to defend RunYu haha (even on the later stage of the series and after all the 'stunts' he pulled) just because I see the reasons why he turned out a certain way.
But that being said, there was not a moment where I disliked XuFeng. It's not his fault that his circumstances are better and that he was heavily favored. Even with this he never turned into an entitled brat.

And btw, the 35 episodes is not long.
I would watch more episodes of them just being happy with their baby.
I love how it was not rushed and it feels like we have an extended ending.

Yes! I love their voices, specially FangNing's.
It's quite refreshing after all other dramas have FL with high pitched cutesy voice.
Her voice is very calm and relaxing. And GongJun as well.

Miss you already. Hope you can come back soon!

My most favorite modern Cdrama! I keep replaying it.
Just curious, are they using their real voice or is this voice actors?

I think you really did missed some details by skipping. The photo is saved on a cloud/drive, they asked for the account and password. Therefore, in the last loop they didn't even need to meet the 'witness' to get access to the photo.

such a good start!
chaotic, fun and not dragging at all. hope this energy continues.

I was wondering if I should start Blue Whisper, so I check the works of the Director.
Wow! Surprise surprise!Some of my favorite series were directed by him. Definitely will watch Blue Whisper now.

Thanks! I totally missed the hint/scene where his Father remarried.

Can somebody explain pls what is the Queen Dowager's relationship to Lee Tae?
Who is she related to?

Did you know the role Gu JunPyo was first offered to JangGeunSuk. He turned it down because of Beethoven Virus.
Too sad he keeps choosing the wrong projects.

I think it's because of the way he talks, it's a bit theatrical. But this is how he is talks also in all other dramas. I think acting wise he's doing very good.

I agree with the comments that it seems off. I don't know if it's the editing, the script, or the fact that I don't feel much chemistry with the leads. It just feels pointless and plot going nowhere. Too many characters and too much going on and yet it feels like it gives us nothing.

It does give Record of Youth vibes, and that is not a compliment.

Romance is not the main plot of this story. There is no angsty love triangle, don't worry it's not like the regular love triangle. That part of the story is actually quite comedic. ZQ will cry but not over this haha:)
