technically who the ml liked was the fl itself, because the fl is the accumulation of all her past lives. had fl been reborn in another body without her memories of her past lives, ml would not feel reminiscent of the fl's past self thus he probably would not like her as much but then again, the yoon juwon is also the accumulation of all the past lives. he liked her as like an essence and the fl is just like a consciousness that's hopping from body to body so she really isn't a different person
true though someones character can be quite different depending on what and how many memories of the past (past life included or not) one has...
You guys make a fair point
In all honesty, I cant get the idea this idea out of my head, what if the FL didn't remember her past life this time? He will obviously continue to remember that's her, when that isn't it. Cause rn, she really is a different person, who so happened to have the same soul. Would things have worked out if it was like that??? Because, who you are in your past life, and now, are 2 different people.
