a little rough around the edges, but so genuine!

SPOILERS--
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US WRITER-NIMS!! The ending ... was very typically bittersweet. With the reset in their memories, they do seem to have become better people separately and they did meet again so we can assume they'll get back together in the future, but I can't get over their forgotten past and memories and uhh.

OST: HUGE shoutout to this drama's OST! It really got a lot of their songs stuck in my head and the emotion of the sad songs or the romantic ones really got my feeling all the feels. For such a short drama, the OST unexpectedly blew me away.

Acting: L really surprised me with the depth of his acting here and was really the standout actor. Playing such a flawed character but also making us empathize is no easy trait. However, my only note is that the relationship sometimes felt a little awkward and cheesy, but that was mainly due to the writing, not the actors.

Story: I didn't think I'd enjoy a simple time loop story this much! I really liked the explanation of why it was happening instead of it being random, but I still didn't get how Da In wasn't dead in the reset... not that I wanted her to be but the logic didn't add up for me. Also, I still can't believe erasing their memories was the only solution like ... the whole show timeline was just gone!

But yes, the music cliches of him playing and singing a song and it being all dramatic are the best cliches, so yes I enjoyed this show.
