### Summary
The highly anticipated resolution to the amnesia arc has arrived, with Dohee finally regaining her memories. However, the event has been met with widespread reader disappointment, largely perceived as an anticlimactic and rushed conclusion to a controversial storyline. Audience commentary criticizes the chapter for its lack of emotional build-up and payoff, with many feeling the reunion between Dohee and Joonwon was contrived and underwhelming. Comparisons to the source novel suggest that key moments of tension—such as Joonwon’s heightened anxiety over Dohee’s safety, which built suspense in the original text—were omitted, contributing to the flat execution. While some readers are simply relieved the frustrating arc is over, the dominant sentiment is that the narrative detour ultimately derailed the story's pacing for a resolution that felt unearned. The chapter also introduced a new plot detail—Dohee's watch being set five minutes fast—sparking confusion and speculation about its potential significance to the time-looping mechanics. Overall, the abrupt conclusion has left many questioning the purpose of the amnesia plotline in the first place, feeling it was a squandered opportunity for meaningful development.
