### Summary
The latest chapter reveals the traumatic origin of Joonwon's time-looping ability, which was triggered by repeatedly witnessing his mother's death as a child. This backstory reframes his power as a curse and provides context for his difficult personality, though reader opinion on him remains divided, with some finding him empathetic only toward Dohee while others are losing patience with his actions. This personal drama is compounded by the introduction of a new antagonist, Yuna, who is simultaneously Dohee's former bully and Joonwon's ex-fiancée, setting up an anticipated, if clichéd, jealousy plot. Meanwhile, the second male lead, Eeyeon, has been firmly rejected by the audience following a "cringeworthy" and immature confession, which readers attributed to jealousy over Joonwon. His attempt has solidified the consensus that he stands no chance against the foundational, shared experience of time-looping that connects the main pair. Dohee continues to be praised as a strong, perceptive female lead, whose preference for chocolates over smoking is seen as a refreshing character trait.
