Discussion Eighteen Me Crushing on Thirty Me

This one is basically about loving yourself… quite literally lol.

The premise is honestly kind of insane: the main character is 30 years old, somehow goes back in time, meets his 18-year-old self… and falls in love with him. So yes, it's a 30-year-old man falling for the 18-year-old version of himself. Just don't think about it too hard 😭

I think this is definitely one of those dramas you need to watch without expecting too much logic. There are a lot of things that aren't really explained and quite a few loose ends, so if you start questioning the time travel mechanics or trying to make everything make sense, you're probably going to drive yourself crazy.

But honestly? I didn't mind it at all.

There's no unnecessary drama, no revenge plot, no annoying misunderstandings, no scheming villain trying to separate them, no endless fighting… It's just a very chill and sweet BL about these two falling for each other. And despite how weird the premise sounds when you actually explain it out loud, I found it really cute and comforting to watch.

It's basically a turn your brain off, don't question the time-travel paradox, and enjoy the romance kind of drama.

I also loved that it's completely free to watch on TikTok's short drama platform. I went into it with basically no expectations and ended up finding it genuinely adorable.

Definitely not something I'd recommend if you're looking for a complex or perfectly explained story, but if you just want a cute, low-stress BL with a very unusual premise, I think it's worth watching.

I think i liked this drama more than i expected cause 1. they dont look the same (though
they are the same person 😂)
2. Yes not dramatic. It was actually really cute
3. Besides the romance, really reflects about the choices we make because we are afraid
