Triangle DetailsTriangle is mostly a product of the time-travel mechanic. Past FL liked the 2ML while present FL didn’t, leading to an annoying mismatch. It lasts a few episodes and is more irritating than dramatic.
My NotesI found the romance cute at times, especially early on, but the drama constantly undercuts its own momentum with repeated timeline resets, memory wipes, and forced tension. The FL pushes the ML away “for his own good” over and over, creating drama that feels completely self-inflicted. The show also builds up serious moments only to dodge them with comedy or tonal whiplash. The triangle with the 2ML is frustrating because past FL likes him while present FL doesn’t, making the situation feel artificial. Despite all this, the final episode is sweet and the ending is nice overall, even if the journey there is messy and repetitive.
