This drama sounded like it should be right up my alley. Transmigration story that (according to the description), involved some meta elements on storytelling? Yes please!

But in order to fuck around the narrative, you have to tell people what it is. We got a few random disjointed scenes with no context or idea of how the fit into any kind of wider plot (I think the problem here is the drama is more concerned with roasting cdrama cliches than telling an interesting story that *happens* to be a parody. It doesn't help that one of those scenes invites comparisons with TTEOTM & the ML is not TTJ.). Then the FL gets drawn into the story, but things are already off-script, & she keeps dying & reliving a scene that is apparently not in the script. But instead of either surviving long enough in one of the loops to fix anything, or refusing to engage with a wedding to the 2ML (which is presumably what she's meant to do to clear the way for the ML), the loop just arbitrarily ends & she finds herself waking up on a day 6 months earlier. Like, why is any of this happening.

That might still be fun to watch play out if I liked the characters, but I don't. The FL is annoying. The ML is a charisma vacuum & his character doesn't feel like the protagonist he's meant to be in this story.

Getting into real nitpicking territory here, but I hated the music choices. The score/instrumental pieces were fine, but the more contemporary style stuff was all obnoxious.

I'll just go & rewatch Love Game in Eastern Fantasy. It did this way better.
