### Summary
The current arc intensifies the tragic role reversal, but audience reception has shifted from sympathy to frustration regarding Joonwon's methods. His attempts to rekindle a connection with the amnesiac Dohee are now widely criticized by readers as "creepy," "stalker-ish," and "lovebombing," with many finding his overbearing pursuit to be an ineffective and off-putting nuisance. While a minority of readers defend his actions as a clumsy expression of guilt and a desperate attempt to trigger her memories, the consensus is that his behavior is ethically questionable. The plot is further complicated by the introduction of a "third wheel" male friend, a development that has been met with significant backlash from readers who decry it as a repetitive and unwelcome obstacle. This new character has also sparked speculation that he may remember past loops, potentially explaining his unpredictable nature. Overall, there is a growing fatigue with the amnesia storyline itself, with many readers expressing frustration over what they perceive as recycled plot points and a desperate hope for Dohee's memories—and potentially her own time-looping ability—to return soon.
