It deserves to be an Underrated Drama!

I finally finished this drama, and now I understand why it is underrated. What makes a Korean drama different is its direction, beauty, aesthetics, and acting. But TKOP lacks three out of four things.

1) Direction: I think the direction was poor in comparison to others. It's still good, but the Koreans raised the bar so high that mediocre direction comes under poor direction.

2) Beauty: There's not much beauty in the drama, nor is any rich lifestyle glorified. Also, I'm going to be controversial here, but the actors were pretty pale by beauty standards. The guys were ok-looking, average-height guys with no style, which is great; it looks realistic, but it's a k-drama; you have to add eye candy. It's a must.

3) Aesthetics: Korean vibrant colours were missing. Colour schemes were not black or white. But Grey and Muddy are constantly. Pretty dull as it should be considering MC is depressed and schizophrenic, but still, it's one of the subtle reasons people don't watch this drama or put it on hold.

4) Acting: Acting was great. They did a great job. It doesn't feel like acting was bad or acting was good. The guys were so immersed in their characters that it felt like they were them. The female cop was dull, not gonna lie. Even the kids were incredible.

Apart from that, this was a good drama, and I rate it an 8.5 overall because of it's story and concept.

Pit babe the most amazing one

Hello, so first of i should say, this is one hell of a drama. I can say for sure that i watched 95% of bl available in my country. And many of them are my favorite. But not a single kne of them made me addicted to it like this one.

Episode 1.
Well, it was good. Not something overly good. But it wasn't bad either. I watched the furst episode without much expectation. But the racing scene was the most striking part that attracted me. And the way Charlie and babe first met and their immediate skinship was some what confusing for many of the viewers.... But they were cute and i was also confused, but later realised the reason. And the most striking part was, this was the first Omegaverse i ever watched, i read nany noval and manhwa, but this was first drama. (Please recommend me if their is another one) . And most importantly, the way i thought Charlie was the bottom and babe wad the top.. Hihihi, the truth was the opposite and it was a slap on my face. (Well, i am sure many of you thought the same) . And it also made me watch it more. And the way they raced on street was also awesome.(They clearly put a big budget on the series. )
And what made me more curious was, tony the villain and the suspicious gaze Charlie had towards babe at the end of the episode. And the way Charlie was asked to report about babe. It was the important point that made me watch second episode. And i have to say, as a person who know about Omegaverse, watching this episode won't be that difficult and those who know the Omegaverse can understand why babe chose Charlie and why was he special. But if you are not familiar, then it would be confusing.
(Those who are confused about omega verse, a small tip:
1.in omegaverse apart from main gender male and female, there is also sub gender alpha, beta, omega.
Eg: male alpha, male beta, male omega and female alpha female beta, female omega.
2. Alpha, without considering the main gender they can make omega and beta pregnant.(not male beta)
Eg : male alpha + male/female omega - baby
3. Omega, can get pregnant by alpha or beta without considering the main gender
Eg: male/female omega + male alpha - baby &
Male/female omega + male beta - baby
4.beta are the ordinary human.
5.every alpha and omega have a sweet body smell called pheromones. Which is used to Sexually attract opposite gender
Eg: male alpha pheromone can attract male /female omega and vice versa. Beta are not affected by pheromones.
6.Alpha and omega usually hate same gender pheromones.
7. There is another gender called enigma, who is superior and can make all, beta, alpha, omega pregnant without considering main gender. )
So now you may understand why babe hate the smell, which alpha can't control during intercourse. And for some reason Charlie don't have typical alpha smell because he himself is an alpha.

Episode 2
It was good. The main story, i should say start in episode 2. It tells the relationship between tony and babe and make them more curious about the plot development. And the way Charlie meeting a unknown person and that person is jeff also piqued my interest. What is the relationship between Jeff and Charlie and what are they planning also made me curious. And of course i can't ignore Way, who had a crush on Babe and Babe, even after having the hint, still consider Way as his close frd was annoying yet interesting. And the way Babe treat Charlie as his special someone and making others realize that Charlie is special to Babe and the fact that way began to get wary of Charlie where all much more worthy. And it made me curious about the next episode. And the way tony is trying to get babe back and the reason behind it also made me curious.

Episode 3
What should i say, i think this one episode covered most of the story. Like how much babe hate his father. And most important part was babe opening upto Charlie about his childhood, how he was cheated by the person he trusted the most. And this chapter also introduce how special babe and his powers where. And it also made me realise that how much babe trusted and relays on Charlie even though he didn't directly mentioned it.
And, Way become more and more annoying in the chapter. Compared to his sincere and cute look he was sooo annoying and tried to create so much misunderstanding. And the way how Babe saw Charlie and Jeff together and he got annoyed and jealous yet heart broken without knowing was so emotional. (Maybe i am evil for smirking when Babe was jealous.) And their fight was heartbreaking. I didn't know who i should feel bad.
And the introduction of pete was also made me curious as who he was
This one chapter have the flashback, deep love, Misunderstanding, jealousy and so on. And of course i can't miss Alan and Jeff's Chemistry. They are so good. Even with so much age gap, the younger one Jeff giving advise to Alan and the cute yet mature way they interact is so cute.) This one episodes was wholesome.

Episode 4
In this episode, my view about way went to minus point. Haaaaaaaa... I hate him so much, why is he so annoying. I just want babe to stay away from this creep, who tried to find other alpha for babe when he declare that he have unrequited love for babe. For god sake, who want their crush sleep with so badly. So annoying.
In this episode, i was so heart broken when Babe failed in the race and got second place and it made me also realise how much effect charlie have on babe. It made me happy. And the way Alan and Jeff interact become more and more cute. They are shy yet not shy.. Haaaa.. I like them. And thia episode made me more curious about pete, a unknown powerful guy who tony is wary of.
And i was happy seeing that babe won again and how much he care about Charlie even when they are fighting. Oh, its because somebody attacked babe before second race and Charlie saves him but was injured. Even though they are fighting, babe was clearly worried about Charlie, he was angry at Charlie but was still worried. And most striking part was when, jeff confront babe and saw his future of car crash. (And i realised Jeff can see future.). That car crash made me more curious and worried about next episode. And i was praying that Charlie and Babe can reconcile soon and was also worried about the crash.

Episode 5.
If you ask me which one is my most favorite chapter till now, i will say episode 5. It was so good. Though, it started with heart braking car crash and Jeff was being accused by Way for causing the accident. I hated the beginning where babe had car crash. But later when i saw babe being angry at Charlie for jumping towards the crashed car without considering his own safety was so satisfying. Babe was clearly worried but acted like he wasn't. And the way he smiled when Charlie cleaned him was so cute. But the next scene where Jeff was accused made me worry. First when Alan and others didn't believe it, but when they begna to believe it, i felt bad and angry at alan. The way Jeff looked at Alan when he didn't believe him was so heart braking. But the satisfying part was when immediately Charlie arrived and showed the evidence that jeff wasn't the one who caused the accident. I was so happy when Jeff even after proving the innocent left the garage. (Well Uncle Alan deserves it.)
And most important part is when, Way tells Babe that Charlie and Jeff where brothers to stimulate babe but the result was opposite. And caused babe to be happy. And the face when Way realises that he made and mistake seeing babe smile was sooooo satisfying. Hijijiji
Later, when Charlie and Babe reconcile and become happy again. I was smiling so much even now thinking about that.
I was somewhat nervous when i get to know that babe lost his ability. I was so tense. But later i was happy that Charlie was going to be a racer. And will replace babe. Though, i was some what sad that babe can't race. Still seeing babe training Charlie was so satisfying. And in the end, Charlie compete with babe was an unexpected turn of event. And made me wait eagerly for next episode.

Episode 6
This episode was special and also not special. In this episode, even though Charlie wws defeated by Babe was still able to join X hunter team. (I am proud of him..) But the most special part was, when they watched the stars and discussed about children and was discussing about being papa and mama. I was screaming when they called each other papa and mama. Aaaaaaaaaaaaa.. And finally Charlie become Babe's boyfrd not his boy. Hihihihinj
.Other part of the Chapter were ignored by me lol. Because these two parts where imprinted in my head.
And when Babe was shy confessing to his frds that he and Charlie was officially dating was sooooo cute..
And i should say, i felt somewhat bad for Way when he cried so badly in the end. And the pete and Way couple was good. (Don't wanna give complement because, i don't have good opinion about way.)
Abd the part where Alan asked forgiveness from Jeff in the cutest way. They where so compatible. And Finally, jeff forgive Alan. (Even if it was me, i would have also forgive him lol). And the way Jeff once again seeing an car crash making me worried. Because, my gut feeling saying that, it highly likely Charlie, who is going to have an accident. I don't know why, but my gut feeling as an author and a reader screaming at me that it going to be Charlie. No memory loss please.

Episode 7.
This episode gave me a heart attack. Way disappointed me once again. But the most heart breaking part was when babe saw Charlie with Tony the so called adoptive father. And he realises that Charlie is also Tony's adopted son and all the thing Charlie told him till now was a lie. (No.... Babe, he truly loves you..) I was crying with babe. And once again creep Way, tried to manipulate babe. Bug i was happy seeing that babe give Charlie the time to explain. And how he heard Charlie's story.
That tony is sooo bad. (I wnat to use bad word, but i am stopping my self.) I hate him so much. How can he do sucha thing. Adopting children and giving them hope and in the end selling them. How can someone be so cheep. And the fact that he is trying to make Babe pregnant with some ao called Enigma gave me creep. How could he. And more over it was for him sell that child for100 million. What a #****d.
What made me more surprised that the ability of Charlie who can absorb other people's power and the way he confess to Babe that he is the reason why babe lost his ability. First i was also unhappy about. But then i thought, by doing this Charlie is protecting babe by putting himself in danger. Charlie is cool. And the moment when Charlie said, ' i can give your power back, whe i die all the power will go back to its owner. ' once again confirmed muly suspicion that Charlie was the one who is going to be in an accident. I hope that, it won't be an bad ending. And the way that Babe forgive him even after hearing this made me realize how stronger their bond and relationship is becoming.

Waiting for the next chapter.......

A love story that doesn't make any sense

How to begin my review, I don't even know where to start because from beginning this drama is all over the place with so many plot holes.

1. ML IS CUPID WHO IS PUNISHED FOR FALLING IN LOVE WITH AN HUMAN 500 years ago by his master god. Ok maybe god has weird rules, but he also has 3 colleagues who are also cupids like him but they all can date freely. I thought maybe god is ok with dating but not okay with cupid falling in love. But by 11th episode a tiny 9 year old looking god comes and intervenes in the fate making cupid fall in love. Is this like one god saying " i don't agree with you , a cupid can fall in love", while other god is like "cupid deserves to be punished, they shouldn't fall in love with human".

2. FL falls for cupid because he is handsome and the fact he didn't get hurt when he is with her because FL is someone who brings bad luck to men around her, which makes them get physically hurt. Due to ML handsomeness and ability to not get injured, she loves him. But till 11 episodes, no matter how many times ML reject her weakly and also not totally reject like you know clear message "hey incase you didn't know I don't like you ever, no matter how many times you confess". ML plays with her heart like tug and pull because he couldn't reveal the secret he is a cupid to FL yet instead of avoiding her or at least drawing a proper line between them, he plays with her heart, constantly giving her hope he will accept her one day. FL is all like I love him because he is handsome and we are meant to be together. Like that's all the reason their is to love. While ML who is currently getting punished for falling in love 500 years ago, not only he was being punished for 500 years, his colleagues are also getting punished for what he did. Apparently cupids are supposed to do their set service for certain no. of years on earth and later they get relieved from their job and can go to heaven. But because ML fallen in love, which is against the master god policy, his colleagues also got punished to stay another 500 years on earth. Now you would think ML at least for this colleagues sake who had to wait another 500 years to attain fulfillment and couldn't because of him might stop himself falling in love again in the current timeline as they are too close to finishing their duty and go to heaven, but no ML has to be selfish and fall in love again , and not care his colleagues who had also suffered for 500 years.

3. There is serious serial killer story in middle of this love story, a killer who took more than 5 lives. Half the time is about serial killer, half the time it is about FL being " please ML, please love me", I will love you no matter what. There is no real chemistry.

We sometimes go back to visit their previous life in Joseon dynasty, where from the first episode to now, it is the same scenes and one or two new Joseon scenes now and then. It is always the same scene of Fl falling clip, ML saving her, ML who a cupid being shot his own arrow which is the reason he felling in love with FL. His love isn't even natural. ML fall in love because the nine year old god I was saying purposely turned the arrow towards cupid himself. And these scenes get repeated in every episode.

We also have blatant display of shallowness. ML has three cupids who are his colleagues as well as friends, one of them is a old and average looking guy. They made his character pathetic by showing him constantly getting rejected by women because he is not good looking and this fact is used for comedy relief. And the character acts so stupid like he doesn't even know why girls are rejecting him. You know for a cupid who is on earth for like 500 years and visited many mirrors, one could figure out why are getting rejected and not be clueless, especially a cupid who is expert of love. Not only they made that character dumb, but also made him a low iq one who is as clueless as a hamster.

For a romance story, half the time is about serial killer which goes no where even at 11th episode, and other half time is FL whining to ML we have to be together. There is no chemistry or whatsoever. The show is so shallow, it is based on looks, we have to be together dialogues, I love you no matter what, we got shot by arrow so I'm in love that's it, but there is no real compatibility between any of the leads. The story is not going anywhere, same repeated scenes, too many plot holes and bland dialogues.

If you want to watch a show, that only has pink visuals and handsome characters, that looks all fluffy but no real substance, this is the right drama.

Bittersweet Yet Hopeful

This story itself is far from simple. Although it has a unique quality of seeming like it does, it is quite complex and very deep, and I loved it because of its deceptiveness. The story is bittersweet and profoundly sad in parts yet focused on making life worth living. This is a very odd story and one that ought not to have worked. There are very unpleasant and shocking realities in this series that are painful to watch. What the beauty of this series has done has turned the ugliness of those realities into redemption and allows for the simple acts of relating to each other in soft, gentle, everyday ways to reignite our love of life that was lost. I know this short weird rather unorthodox hesitatingly named a BL which it is not, but that does not mean it has no imagery of love. It is impactful, heartfelt, and mournful but in an oh so quiet, tender, and moving way. It touched me deeply.

it was good little boring but good

i will only mention why i am dropping it
6.5/10 for what i have already seen during 40 episodes

First to mention her childhood sweetheart the word sweetheart can't be used for that SML ugly garbage face
do you search for most disgusting looking guy in whole China to find that man, why would any woman or human being like that disgusting looking coward of a man, lesser then dog shit .......... SPOILER (you even make him King at end)
and AWU i don't know why she fall in love with her husband suddenly and tell him that there intercourse was unforgettable thing in her life, she fall for her husband just after a good fuck in rain. her 10 year of love just got vanished with her hymen

then she goes back to capital and started her emotional affair with DOGSHIT..SML who is coward as hell after watching him i can understand if AWU really moved on from him but no she is just pretending to love her husband
FL shamelessly spend time with her lover while her husband risk his life to protect those coward royals
she fail to slap the man that insult her and her marriage by suggest her to run away with her.

she enjoy being kidnaped and start feeling her sexual desired toward the man who try to rape her
she start a secret affair with her kidnaper behind her husbands back without a guilt because whatever she do is right (ROYAL BLOOD) spoiled girl that was already told in story.
AWU is spoiled characterless cheater .
AWU a married woman enjoy dancing with a man who try to rape her once and still has desire to have her
and she pretend to be a faithful wife in front of her husband with a shame or guilt.

her husband so called hero is a pussy and doormat who in whole drama know only how to lick FL toes
10/10 for this is madness
there is someone's personal opinion to call a cheater a doting wife i hope that person also got a doting partner that cheat on him with every man she can find

at end she made her lover kind with the help of her another lover and her husband was MOST IDIOT doormat ever
he doesn't deserve to be called any kind of hero, he was just a cheap solider who controlled by AWUs Viginia.......

In end she made her lust driven Childhood DOGSHIT King to so he can now screw her in front of her husband.
MOST SHAMLESS FL.

Who would want to have such shameless wife like Awu.
First she shows her affection to ex-boyfriend both in front of her husband and behind his back not once or twice but she does it continuously.
Then she secretly begins to meet her husbands greatest enemy - Helen Prince who once kidnapped her and who openly admitted his sexual desires towards her and even tried to sexually assault her in a closed room.
To make the things worse she agrees to become his friend and shamelessly dances intimately with him while she had already refused to dance for her husband (who after learning that her Princess wife was famous in capital for her dance wanted her to dance for him to see).
I was so disgusted that i did not watch it past 48th episode.
In the end i can only conclude that she is a Shameless and Cheating wife.
It was UTTERLY DISGUSTING to watch this drama

DEATH'S GAME - A MUCH NEEDED PERSPECTIVE TO LIFE !

I still haven't processed this drama through and through and ig in the hope of being able to make the most out of it I am writing this review. To say that it's a MUST WATCH would be such an understatement because you'll sincerely be missing out so much.

I am not a webtoon reader so I didn't know what was in stock for me but to say that I am overwhelmed by the amount of emotions I felt in such a short span would be the most just way of saying I LOVED IT TO EVERY BIT!

I don't know what other people are feeling about it but to me most of it was unpredictable even tho I guessed the last episode correct it didn't really drag me away from the drama I give that to the acting because I don't really fan girl predictable stuff.

THE CAST - IS MAGIC ! to all the cameos, all the episodic narratives, to all the emotions that they bring out to the screen it just pure treat to every drama lover there is.

The perspective to every character was so beautifully done that it felt like I went through all the 12 lives and that I was just given a piece of their memory and told to live out the rest. I became an assailant, a victim, a survivor, a savior and most of it all I became a human!

I realized that meaning of life is not in being able to live as the wealthiest person or as anyone else but you. There's no one else like you and to think that you are the only one suffering and every other being seems to be having a fate that you would wish for, is the most useless thought to ever exist.

The narrative is so tightly packed that every death has a significant contribution to the story even the ones that seemingly exist in almost parallel worlds are connected to ease and perfection.

This drama does make you rethink about all you are and all you have, it makes you grateful and aware of the true miracles that god has given all of us!

I might have more to say about it later but for now I just hope whoever is reading this review does watch the drama and spares a minute to think about all the tiny miracles that surround.


my fav lines from the drama would be-

"A persons character is determined not by the belief they hold, but by the actions over the course of their lifetime ."

"As i disappeared from this world, my death remained behind with those who loved me . "

"Your sins will end up finding their way back to you so don't ever commit them ."

Average !!!

I had some questions while whatching the show

1. During the class : religious father/brother ( who talks about love), he speaks as if homosexuality is perfectly normal and catholic church supports it .... Really??? As far as i kmw catholiccs show highest discrimination towards LGBTQ community.
2. Are dominic and his 2 other close companions effeminate gays ? Or are they all 3 Ladyboys ( transgender)??. They always address each other as SIS ,wjich means they identify thrmselves as girls.
But dominic tells luke that he is Gay .
What i dont understand is , ... are these 3 kids confused by identyfying themselves as gays inspite of being ladyboys ? Or the script writers do not know the difference between gay and transgender?
3. Dominic seems to be very pious and preaches catholic morals and doctrines especially to luke during the paired couples discussion at night
The same dominic approaches a fortune teller time to time to know about his soulmate . He looks a confused kid .

An oldie but a goldie

This movie is so aggressively 2000s in the best way possible. The hair, the fashion, the flip phones! An absolute delight.
It also happens to tell a genuinely lovely story about a queer relationship which goes through rocky times but ends up stronger and better than before; a delightful surprise, in other words, especially considering the time in which the movie came out.
The story itself isn't particularly unique or intense, but there is a quiet air of sweetness and gentle joy about it that makes the whole thing feel groundbreaking in its own right. And it kind of is. It's a feel-good movie about a respectfully and lovingly portrayed relationship between two men in 2000s era Japan - that's quite a rarity.
All in all I feel this movie has stood the test of time; apart from the camera quality most of the technical and story-telling aspects hold up very well.
So if you're looking for a short, easy watch that's a bit different from most modern day entries into the genre, or are simply in the market for a romantic dramedy chock-full of 2000s nostalgia, then this is the movie for you.

Bea Alonzo and JLC are indeed one true pair.

This short movie is about the on-screen love team who met again for a project after a long break due to the pandemic and did some catching up and reminiscing about life, love, and their past. The premise is simple, and the plots are nicely developed in just 36 minutes. It shows the dynamic of a love team. If we talk about a love team, people (mostly the fans) will be imploring them to become a couple and get married in real life because of how good they look together and how great their chemistry is on screen and off screen. But it doesn’t always happen in real life. This movie uses the ‘love team’ as the central characters, and not the main topic is a smart move. It gives it a more realistic vibe about their friendship in and out of work.

The story is so engaging from the beginning to the end, making me want for more. Undoubtedly, Bea Alonzo and JLC have an amazing chemistry. Their conversation looks very natural and relaxed, as if they aren’t really acting. I was smiling the whole time, my face hurt. Seeing the topic of life and love being discussed from the perspective of one of the iconic Filipino love teams gives an understanding that, as humans, regardless of our job, we can’t always control our emotions, especially when they involve someone we deeply care about. You know, feelings will grow, the line between professional and personal will get blurred, and it can sometimes have a positive or negative impact on our real-life relationship. But at the end of the day, people grow and move on, and the best of love remains.

everything he do is for his COCK
there is no genuine friendship from his side while the first boy genuinely become her friend after she saved him
love developed from admiration and liking is way more respectful then a love devolved based on sole lust
this move try to give wrong meaning of friendship and love

THIS SERIES IS REALLY A COMFORT DRAMA FOR WHO DON'T WANNA SEE TOMORROW

honestly everything about this drama is amazing, it also helps me to learn that how the weight of words matter a lot cuz I used to think that words are really unnecessary until I watch this drama and it became one my comforting drama, the visual were just mwah.. I hate how jungill had such a low screen time and ro Yeon & Jul Gill didn't had much interaction but in the last episode they had unspoken great chemistry but they should have show us more.. I also loved rowon silly personality he suits it so well

Wasted many hours of my time!

I was enjoying the first season but the second season doesn't make sense. **Spoiler Alert** It doesn't make sense for a young lady to end a relationship so suddenly with someone who she was in love with. Jo Jo and Sun-Ho clearly loved each other. Jo Jo ended the relationship to prevent Sun-Ho and herself from being hurt.

JoJo said she didn't want to have a relationship ever again with anyone . If she changed her mind surely she would try again with the person who she deeply loved and not try to force herself to love someone else. This has really made me feel low. I love a good romance story but not one which splits up the loving couple who were clearly meant for each other

A storyline that tries hard to justify itself but fails to do so.

spoilers are there, read at your own risk.

As from synopsis, the story is basically about an ML who gave up on life due to unemployment and getting turned down from most jobs which leads him to feel useless and kills himself. In turn death punishes him, saying he will be transferred in bodies of people for twelve times and these bodies are someone fated to die soon and if he manages to survive in any of those twelve times, he can escape going to hell for sin of committing suicide. The whole plot is about death asking ML does he realize anything from the lives he lived, had he learnt anything and every time hero says I will beat you in this and survive against you.

Like so the hero goes to live in bodies of 12 lives who are destined to die soon. Now each episode is filled with star cast who acted those 12 lives, and it was really entertaining. It wasn't boring at all and all those lives are connected to each other in the storyline and the wrap of those lives to the whole plot made so much sense, even though these 12 lives people are strangers to each other character, yet they all are tied up together brilliantly to make sense. For that alone I gave this show 6.5 rating.

The only reason I'm disappointed is the that even to the end death punishing ML didn't justify in slightest sense. At the end hero realizes he made mistake by killing himself because he gave the people he loved to live with the pain of his death. Which is a very valid reason and I agree the ML is at fault to an extent because the only thing that put him down and depressed is his unemployment, he had other things that most people won't even have. He had a girlfriend who wasn't ashamed he couldn't find a job but was rather supportive and proud of him and was ready to take care of him always. He has a wonderful mother who didn't pressure him into finding a job. Most people who actually kill themselves are someone who is totally alone unlike ML. Maybe ML failed to recognize this and killed himself without realizing how it would impact his close lives. Which is something some of the depressed people who still have supporting families fail to realize and end lives. I agree they shouldn't do that, this is why awareness of seeking help for mental health is very important. but other half of depressed people are someone who are abandoned to live in agony.

Anyway, by my above paragraph you might think death was right punishing him because ML ended his life without thinking about loved ones, but here is the twist. As you have read, ML goes to live in 12 bodies, during this time death says she won't interfere and also says I don't kill people, people are bound to die by the fate that was written to them. All along she tells ML he committed a sin by killing himself instead of dying at the time the fate was written. She says one shouldn't choose death but should die at fate written by god.

Let me tell you, in all those 12 times ML got to live, he witness his girlfriend death who gets murdered tragically, his mother is also supposed to die in a hiking accident but got to live because ML finally won against the fate of surviving in at least one of the twelve times and last life is he possessed his mom's body. Which means ML if he didn't commit suicide, not only would have witnessed his GF death but also his mother death and still live in unemployment.

You might think if he didn't kill himself, he may have protected his gf and mom by being near them. But death clearly says their fates are destined like that. Whether any change can happen to their fates is like a roll of dice, and no body can know.

Not only that, all the ten lives ML lived, are mostly innocent lives who got killed except for two or three lives where ML entered into evil people bodies who actually deserve to die.

So in conclusion, the drama major reason of death giving punishment didn't make sense because even if ML lived he had to live in misery of losing loved one's, if he kills himself, he has to face punishment of death god and get's killed 12 times. For me, the whole series I agree ML is at fault for not thinking about his loved one's and dying, but death is the most evil person as she punishes ML whose fate is already cruel even if he doesn't kill himself and another evil is god who wrote fate of innocent people to die soon in most painful way.

First half is great, the second half falls short

The best part about this drama it that it constantly keeps you guessing. Just when you think that you have you figured out, it changed lanes and the transition was very smooth. Things went good till ep 18-19, after that the drama was just kinda of okay. The thrill was lost.

The chemistry between the ML and FL was quite good so in the later episodes i just skipped to their parts till the end. It could be because this was an ongoing drama and I watched some other drams in between, but the second half just wasn't interesting enough in my books.

*Major Spoiler*
The time travel and dimensions was much more interesting than memory loss angle we got. That's where things went wrong for this drama.

But i would definitely rewatch it at least once, maybe then it would be better. I just want to give it one more try to convince me that the second half was not a waste of time.
