Great start and potential that was sadly absolutely squandered in the 2nd half
(Info: I don't know anything about the webtoon it's based on, so I'm just judging the show overall)
It started out as a fun and cute story with very charismatic characters and great romantic and platonic relationships, with the potential to have some of the best main 4 character group. The FL was quirky and great, with many heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. The ML also carried a lot of emotional moments due to his experiences and losses. The relationship of FL/ML was a highlight, no matter if it was the present day or the flashbacks to the FLs 18th life. The 2ML and 2FL were also good characters with a lot of potential, with a nice relationship setup and great and interesting relationships to the ML and FL.
But all of this was squandered in the 2nd half. As the wtiting became a giant mess of clichés, drama and mystery boxes without rhyme or reason. It even managed to remove much of the charisma of and chemistry between the characters.
The 2FL and 2FL and their relationship got incredible shafted and was basically the same scene or argument over and over again like a freespinning wheel.
The 'antagonistic' character of Mingi was not his own character but a plot device for a poorly thought out 1st life and an overdramatic cliché mystery.
The sudden focus to the boring 1st life mystery also negatively impacted the FL/ML relationship, as the development of their relationship took a giant step back and their moments became very lackluster after the reveal of her reincarnation.
The whole storyline of the abusive father/mistress/reincarnated mother was very messy and just a distraction and stealing screentime from the 4 main characters. The acting of the reincarnated mother was also not very good, as she never seemed to have the presence of a person remembering their former lives.
The acting, cinamatography and OST were very good, but they all couldn't save the very messy writing. What was a slamdunk 8 stars (with the potential for 8.5 or 9 stars), just crashed into a 6 star rating. What a disappointment :(
