How is she half his original age?
Because he's regressed. Iirc he was originally an older man whos around late 30 or 40s.
You clearly don't understand how regression stories work.
When he was 40, she was 40 too.
Now he's 18, she is 18 too. It's completely normal.
You want him to date a grandma or something?
It’s about their mindset honestly. It’s not like he forgot his memories; he's still him before he regressed. She has the mindset of an 18 year old and he has one of a 40 year old. That’s why I prefer ones where they’re transferred into a different body so the memories are mixed instead of just being replaced. Romance isn’t always needed especially if this is how it plays out. Not saying he should stay single but it still weirds me out that he isn’t a genuine 18 year old going after someone that is.
What would be considered "not weird" then? Would you rather have the woman who acted as his mother in the "Youth" drama as the female lead, considering she's closer to his mental age? Genuinely curious. Not trying to disparage you or anything.
Exactly.
People don't understand that regression or reincarnation is NOT TIME TRAVEL.
You are not the same person as back then.
That’s why I mentioned why romance isn’t needed if this is how it plays out. It’s weird either way. Why have an old man go back to his old self and fall for a kid. It’s a fiction so I don’t see why they had to include all that
If this dude falls for a girl less than half his original age
