I loved him in Gummy’s “As a Man” music video. He had great chemistry with his co-star. And I must admit, when he was at his prime, he was at his prime! ❤️
What is a favorite scene of your's and why? I wants all the details!
The ML and the quack doctor. Every time ML would throw shade at him and the look the doctor would give him 😂 All Geun Soo’s scenes provided good comic relief. Soo Yeol didn’t consider him a real doctor, yet, Geun Soo was actually onto something a couple times, ironically, despite his gambling addiction. From the group chat with other gambling addicts to falling asleep after hypnotizing Soo Yeol, Geun Soo’s scenes were my favorites.
Also, the end of episode 2, when we realize K is actually Soo Yeol. I like that scene too because it genuinely surprised me the first time around, and everyone’s reactions were gold. I thought Soo Yeol was selfish and didn’t care about Officer O’s feelings…but then I realized Soo Yeol wasn’t so bad.
it's been a year but this still remains one of my favourite underrated gemsi regret not leaving comments when…
I really loved your review. There were two things that stood out to me, that truly made me realize why I rooted for the couple and loved the drama:
“Perhaps it was not intended to be profound or have a deep meaning but I found it interesting that despite someone who avoids conflict and thus doesn’t tend to quarrel with others, she never hesitated to do so with him. I suppose in a way she felt comfortable around him even before knowing it herself. To be relaxed enough to show someone your true self is not an easy thing. “
AND
“The time loop was executed well as it served a purpose. To admit one’s past mistakes takes great courage and even more to apologise the person they’ve wronged so it was great to see that growth in the male lead.”
I also like how you noted that the pair were a lot more similar than you’d think. And I think that’s true.
I was watching MLM, and he kept reminding me of someone. I don’t know if it was his facial expressions, but he reminded me of someone, and a name can’t come to mind. I’m so torn.
1) I thought this drama was cute and…nice. It ventured into unexpected territory sometimes which I don’t view as a bad thing. Speaking on loopholes (plot holes even!) and cringe, I believe it was really just based on the fact that there are scenes and moments in the show where you have to press pause because of the suspense and second-hand embarrassment that some of the characters are subjected to. Drama’s aren’t meant to be very realistic. All the characters who may seem annoying in the beginning get better. Yet, what I’ve named is some of the reasons why people dropped this drama. And I don’t blame them! But just know, if you think the main characters are losing they end up winning! I was never let down by all (any) of the characters’ strengths.
2) Speaking of loopholes, I believe they could have been remedied with an additional episode or two (or perhaps been about a 30 episode show). So, they don’t really bother me because I’ve watched other dramas that had some pretty glaring loopholes that make MLM pale in comparison. But someone did note that the villains’ back stories and such could’ve been explored more. There were always hints of other characters’ backstories, but we only got hints. So, yeah. Disappointment there. Yet, I think(?) the main villain went to jail.
3) Overall, this drama kept my attention. The main actor, Fan Zhi Xin is going places (so I hope he keeps at it–and I still can’t believe he’s my age). And I do believe he and Li Mo Zhi had nice chemistry. Everyone in the cast did a good job (the best they could), and for that, I don’t put this drama in the burn pile. I might revisit this drama in the future if I need to watch something to pass the time. Yet, I can also see why others may not want to revisit the drama and think differently from me. This drama is catered towards melodrama fans, and those who have a high tolerance for cringe. Patient people too. Still shaking my head and laughing to myself about some scenes. You’ve been warned!
4) The #1 strong point in this drama is the romance. I think that was the most refreshing part.
I really dislike modern romance drama where the villain does hardcore shit like resorting to "murder." Leave darker…
I don’t know if I can get past that. Should I watch? Were the characters killed loved ones or very important ones? (I know it’s a dumb question but I’m considering watching this drama…but I’m unsure. I hate the stuff you dislike too).
I don’t know if I can get behind the villain killing 3 people and acting like it didn’t happen, and they have redemption…I don’t know if I should watch….

Oh, and there was a happy ending!
