I thought he was really handsome in “Love in a Loop” with his weird hairstyle. He made the show even more enjoyable.

(Secret: He kinda reminded me of Monsta X’s Im Changkyun a.k.a I.M) 🥰

My final verdict is that this show is quirky and its own genre 😂. You have to watch this show with an open mind. So what if it doesn’t make sense at times… Did it have a happy ending? Yes. Did the leads have chemistry? Yes. Did we get two kiss scenes? Yes. Was there proclamations of love? Yes. Did the characters grow? Yes. Did you waste hours of your life you’ll never get back? No.

So, it’s a good show if you’re looking for something fresh and different.

To be honest the story telling kind of reminded me of classic Hong Kong Cantonese-language movies. It was comedic, then out-right serious, funny again, then romantic, serious/thriller-like, funny, and then melodramatic…an overall roller coaster. It’s kind of like if that Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng movie “Needing you…” had a time loop incorporated into it.

This story had heart! ❤️ It stuck to its plot. I loved it. I’ll rewatch in the future. I strongly recommend.

I agree. I just didn’t like the 2ML. Yet, I never felt like he got more screen time with the FL.

I agree. I believe it’s just failing to realize that CDRAMAS aren’t KDRAMAS, and that they do things different in CDRAMAS. If you don’t realize that, you’re setting yourself up for major dissatisfaction. 24 episodes in CDRAMAS is the 16 episodes in KDRAMAS—if we’re wanting to start the comparison game. 👀

I strongly agree with this.

Whatever date they’re waking up to, that’s the final time they’d loop, right? At least that’s what I got.

Many people have their own take on the ending. And the conclusion and overall interpretation I got was that like any classic soulmate trope (Hanahaki disease, tattoos, birthmarks, seeing through each other’s eyes, etc…) Mr. Bai and LuDuo were soulmates and found each other through the time loop.

If you want to get even more hopeless romantic 🥰, some say one may live their life never locating their soulmate, and Mr. Bai and LuDuo were fortunate to be given that chance of finding each other. If they hadn’t found each other Mr. Bai would’ve been forever alone due to his obnoxious and Mr-Know-It-All ways, and LuDuo would’ve been with HuoHuo and still having problems with really stating how she feels. HuoHuo would’ve been a pushy significant other in both universes, and she’d never truly grow from that relationship. LuDuo and Mr. Bai saved each other.

I understand how the kiss was awkward. To be honest, it reminded me of the first kiss between the main leads/pair in that old Disney Channel sitcom titled “Austin & Ally”. So, it was like a Disney kiss 😂

Yet, the drama in general is so quirky, and Mr. Bai had never been in a relationship. So….it’s definitely looking for a polarized reception. Even though, seeing the flashback of the kiss over and over again, it started to look…”more real.”

I’ll say this: I believe one can get done with this show in one sitting. Despite the slow start, the FL was steadfast in her growing attraction to the ML. Because of the FL’s nature and the ML’s search for the truth (while maintaining his morale) that’s what kept me watching and getting past those slow parts. Sure, one could skip episodes, but you miss certain parts in the growing relationship of FL and ML that are important and that make you root for them.

Yeah. When you say “intelligence” I think you mean his dignity. I started to prefer it when he was meaner at the beginning, but I realize now that that arc made Luduo fall for him more and made her grow more.

Yeah. That arc frustrated me, yet, towards the end you start to see why it was important (the emotional roller coaster paid off(?)).

I believe the overall point of the story arc was to have it serve as a catalyst in Mr. Bai’s character growth, even though I can’t get over that scene when he falls on his face in the water puddle. That store manager was pathetic.

I know what you mean about the second ML (HuoHuo) being more likable, but his actions start to get a little jarring and unnecessary towards the end. The whole point at the beginning was for the 1st ML (Mr. Bai) to not be liked.

I don’t think Mr. Bai (ML) lost his intelligence. What he needed to and started to realize (especially towards the end) is that in order to see the big picture he had to take a step back, assess, and look at the small details a lot more in order to know what to do in the final time loop where Luduo (FL) doesn’t remember anything. Luduo’s growth would’ve never happened, nor his.

It’s her conscience or “inner voice”. Or as the inner self stated, she’s a part of her soul. Her “evil self”.

So, Carl Jung the philosopher would call this her shadow.

All episodes contain subs now.

Yes!!! ML’s brother/bestie and FL’s roomie/bestfriend get together low-key. It’s so cute (Xiaolai and Bai Jr.).

So, yes.

Also, a pair of co-workers (FeiFei and Steve) have major ship energy so, yeah. There are side couples.

While watching, the protagonist did mention he was older than her…but probably not by much. So, I can understand where you’re coming from. And I liked both leads. ML was attractive in a very understated way.

So, you liked the Second Lead better?

He fits blonde/reddish hair.

This movie was a pleasant surprise. But it wasn’t pleasant in a feel-good way. It’s actually quite sad, but not unbearable. The ending is rather odd but understandable; good in its own way. I recommend. Soundtrack/score is amazing.
