**My Opinion**
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT
- Very nice writing. Although there are a lot of cliche and predictable plot points (such as hospital being front for organ trafficking or the girlfriend of ML betraying him so he had a reason to break up with her, etc), they are put together in an interesting way that keep in interested. The concept is very interesting and well executed, done in a way that doesn't make things over complicated.
- Very nice and likable characters. T was calm and collected but had his own trauma and flaws. B was adorable at the end and truly care of T. Although there aren't many intimate scenes, they show their affection through action and grief. The characters do have chemistry and seeing them together is really satisfying.
- I love the idea that B get to experience the loop at the end.
WHAT I DIDNT LIKE ABOUT IT
- The ending was too short. I would have liked to see them together because getting there has been very difficult.
- The plot can get a little plain. There were some plot twists that surprised me but overall, the mystery is predictable and cliche, and seen multiple times before.
- The acting can get a little...unnatural in scenes where the actors have to display strong emotions. For example anger and grief aren't exactly that well displayed. In general the acting is fine and there aren't many cringey scenes.
**Conclusion**
Interesting ground hog day type of BL that should be watched.
