It's interesting. In some places I saw high praises of this drama so I decided to watch it. And honestly, it wasn't that bad. But when I came here to read the reviews, seeing people hate this so much is actually making me question myself. Was it wrong to not hate it? Well- No. Here's my opinion. Initially, as the series started I hated Jian Teng because we all know he cheated his boyfriend after 9 years. He was a douche bag . I felt sorry for Yi Chen, because I could feel his pain. He did like Jian Teng. He still liked him even though he knew he died because of him. But, he was trying hard to ignore his feelings and ignore him so that he doesn't have to face similar situations again in this new life. Jian Teng was obsessive. He wanted to have Yi Chen all for himself. He was even violent and tried to sexually assault him. But this I don't hate it as much as most ppl here . Why? Because it's not like Yi Chen hated him. He was scared and angry and was trying to avoid him. Anyways, I agree it's wrong. But, when Jian Teng actually risked his life to save him, my opinion changed. Can people who are only obsessed but not in love, jump to save someone at the risk of their own life? Idk. Then he played amnesiac. Ppl are saying he played with Yi Chen to gain his sympathy. But, we saw how devasted Yi Chen was when Jian Teng was injured and hospitalized. He obviously still loved him. He didn't leave his side until he came to his senses. I don't think Yi Chen would stop caring for him even if he didn't play amnesiac. Then towards the end when he Jian Teng forces himself on him once again while claiming Yi Chen to be his, Yi Chen says that says that he knows he played amnesiac bcz he was scared that he doesn't like him. ( But that wasn't the case because he loves him regardless). Some ppl says it's only obsession on Jian Teng's side. I don't agree. Yeah it did start with obsession but he eventually did fall in love. And let's be real. In his previous life they were in a relationship for 9 years! Do you really think it's possible to be in a relationship for 9 whole years without actually being in love? Only with obsession? At the end we see that it was a misunderstanding. He was just putting on an act to prevent his parents from bullying Yi. However, this part of the plot was kinda unsatisfactory. (I mean why do they have to hide such things from their partner and hurt them instead of solving it together?) And some people said he didn't learn his lesson even after dying. I don't agree. He did learn. This were different this time. Jian Teng save him twice. And at last Yi says, " Whether it's now or in future, I am going to live for myself". This was the biggest lesson. Unlike his previous self who was weak and lived for Jian Teng and his love, this time he would be more rational and stronger and do what's good for himself. So overall, I liked the story. And let's be real. Is there any form of love/relationship that doesn't have even a slightest bit of toxicity? Is there any sort of love/attachment that doesn't come with pain? No right. Even if it's a planktonic relationship, it might still be toxic and hurtful.
