Something that I think is interesting is the fact that despite story starting with Suyeon and Jaehyun, Norman seems to be the true protagonist of the series.
As in, the perspective we see most in the story is through the lens of Norman as hinted by how his narration introduced us to the story.
On top of that, despite how late Chuljin made an appearance in the story, I find it fascinating how much the story revolved him despite the fact he isn't the protagonist.
While the two aforementioned story elements aren't unique on their own, both being put to use at once really adds another entertaining layer to this story. Of course, it isn't perfect, but the way it seems to experiment is another way this story it catches my attention.
Gah! I love these two together! I'm still not over the variety of bottoms, it's such a delight! The beefy and assertive Suyeon! The cute, small, and nerdy Norman! And the older, taller, and charismatic Chuljin! (^q^)b
I think the story started pretty well, but then felt rushed by the end.
It played with some neat ideas imo. It was interesting how there were multiple people remembered the previous timeline, but also how mysterious and gentle the ML was prior to Seoha/Jaeryun's death.
I really liked how Seoha eventually realised the crown prince he knew in the current timeline was different from the crown prince he had grown to love in the old timeline, and how he missed him, but I also enjoyed how Seoha hadn't really bothered to learn anything about the man he had supposedly loved before. It felt like another thing for him to atone for.
Personally, I miss the demeanour of the ML in the older timeline, but at the same time, it makes sense since the ML of the older timeline grew in his lonesome and repressed his emotions, while the ML of the current never grew out of his childishness. I kind of wish they did more with this though.
There's more I wanted to say about this series, but I'm not recalling them at the moment.
Anyway, I wish this series had more time.

I need more stories with dynamics like this! Specifically tops associated with cats and bottoms associated with dogs.
I'm keeping a list but the most significant ones I can name so far are mostly just Red Thread Quest, 1995 Youth Report, The Dirtiest High, Don't Lie, The Hunter's Gonna Lay Low, and Protect Your Purity. I feel like All About Lust, Love Tractor, and Virtual Strangers would count here too.

I may not have liked how long the drama and the sex scenes went on with the second couple, but I did enjoy a lot of what this series provided, even though what I did enjoy would be considered shallow.
I never go for love triangle stories where you can't really tell who the true love interest is for a character, but I have to admit, I kept reading Norman's story to make sure the one I was rooting for succeeded.
And speaking of Norman, I'm pretty sure he's the true protagonist of the series even though he wasn't in the first couple. I believe it's the reason why his story went on for so long, and it's also why we see start off the story from his perspective.
The sex scenes were also super messy, and for some reason I liked it even though I'm typically not a fan of messily handled sex, but there were a few that I skipped mostly because I wasn't a fan of seeing sex between the pairings I wasn't rooting for.
End of non-spoiler section.

Spoiler for positions and pairings:
Even though the tops were all varying degrees of the "tough-looking to crybaby" pipeline, I also really liked the how the bottoms varied, from the assertive beefy Suyeon, the small and indecisive Norman, and finally the charismatic and tall Chuljin (with his delightful inverted nipples).
Lastly, it might just be me, but I think the banter between the couples really improved over time, since it was what really sold me on making the Minwoo/Chuljin pairing my favourite so far.
