When i saw that this drama was described as a melodrama i thought it would be boring, but although it is a melodrama the characters are quite quirky and fun and there’s actually quite a lot of comedy in this drama in general for a melodrama, which made it easier to watch. I know that a lot of people said that they thought it was sad, and although it's not the saddest drama that i've watched, i definitely felt the tears coming at one or two scenes in this drama.
Story:
A time travelling CEO sees that his future is looking tough and marries a failed actress to solve it. Although the plot wasn’t played out the way i expected it would be, i liked the drama. I love the idea of the drama and seeing him travel back and forth in time and trying to fix things and change the future for the better was just really interesting, and you’ve gotta love "Bap Soon". The only thing i would say is that i feel like it's sorta slow at times, but not to the point where it becomes a problem.
Acting:
The acting was great. Shin Min ah was amazing as always and Lee Je hoon did great too, i hadn’t seen any of his past dramas so i didn’t know about him before watching this, but i sure will watch some of his dramas now. The romance was great to, the chemistry and the kissing scenes were great, and they truly acted like they were a real married couple.
Overall the casting was just really good, i didn’t have a problem with any of the actors or actresses at least.
Music:
Very fitting to the mood of the drama, nothing i would listen to outside of this drama, the ost’s are just kinda slow, but as i said, it fit very well with the mood of the drama.

I'm also in love with Song Ma Rin, whom Min Ah brought to life so beautifully. Ma Rin was such a mess at the beginning, the former child actor and drunkard who was always humiliating herself. She wasn't totally pathetic, though; she told people off and stood up for herself. Sometimes she gave me secondhand embarrassment and was a little annoying, but I never hated her. I could sympathize with her. Then she blossomed into this confident professional, achieving a dream that made her glow with pride. She really earned the name flower girl 💓🌸
Ma Rin was the girl with a difficult past, So Joon the boy with a bleak future, the two of them united by a single tragedy. Their romance was as sweet and heartbreaking as the one in Tunnel, where a man fights to leave the future to reunite with his wife in the past. That one will be my forever favorite, but this one comes in at a close second. These two were also disgustingly cute! It was excessive, but still very endearing to me.
I'm still a little confused how So Joon became a young, rich CEO but it's hilarious how he never did any work! Like Ma Rin he had his unlikable moments but I found him fascinating: how he got so wealthy; his time traveling; his stoic personality. It was that stoicism that made Je Hoon's performance as good as it was, he just looked cool.
The male and female wardrobes were incredible but Ma Rin definitely gets the edge because of those sweaters + coats.
I think the Yong Jin storyline could have been handled a lot better, it added danger & mystery to an already complex love story. I wish Doo Shik's storyline had also been explored in depth.
Besides the convoluted plot and other issues, I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to! It made me gasp, cringe, sigh, cry...all in all a good time.

I am impressed how much i ended up liking the show!!
Ok so I will keep it short...When I fist heard about this drama I wasn't really sure if it would be my cup of tee. But then I still decided to watch it.
First I wasn't too hyped up about it, but after watching it till the end,, I am so glad that I did watch it.
The story in my opinion is different from the dramas I had watched before. Even after watching it I fist only considered it as an OKAY show,, later on the OST kept on stuck in my head as well as the story. In the end I just re-watched the drama again, and again. By now I have a watched it 6 times and I am happy about it.
So all together,, I really recommend this drama to everyone. It's cute, the story is amazing, a little different and I actually liked the ending. :))

The concept of time, has been overly used
Pairing Shin Min Ah and Lee Je Hoon is such an amazing on-screen couple to watch with. They are two of the finest actors in the industry and they did well portraying the right emotions of each of their characters which are perfect for being the main leads of the show.The thing is, I am not a big fan of time travel, and maybe the main reason why I felt bored watching the whole show. Yet, there are other dramas with similar concepts that hooked me. So I guess, it all ups for the flow of storyline to spice things up. Which, Tomorrow with You failed to accomplish.
They have their flaws that are too obvious to just let them pass by. And the ending, it is too bland for an end.

I rlly liked the relationship between the leads and the friends and I found it very refreshing the way the romance between them happened and I also liked how they did the future/present/past storyline in different point of views
This drama is really underrated, so if you think of watching it, go ahead and do it

I did not expect that I will love this drama this much
at the beginning of the drama, the whole time travelling really intrigues me. I was so curious what's going to happen, how is he gonna change his future and all that. but as time goes by, I was still curious, but I fall in love with the couple so muchh. like soo soo muchh. sometimes they're cringe but they are so cuteeeee i just kept watching. I fall in love with both characters, their character development, their love story, their feelings and all that. The next thing I know, I don't care what will happen anymore, I was just desperately hoping that this couple will have a happy ending and live happily day by day. It's been a while since I'm this emotionally invested with a couple, I cried when they fight and cried again when they made up, and happy when they're happy. And thats why, I give such a high rating. and plus, acting. amazing of course as expected from shin min a and lee je hoon. but in terms of the storyline, it was good until the antagonist came in the picture. It was kinda weak (?) maybe I expected more, idk. but as i said, the storyline isn't what I'm interested anymore at that time. so joon and ma rin is all I care.Was this review helpful to you?
I got confused at the beginning of the story between the pat and present. But from the 2nd episode I got some interest in the story. I felt nothing boring or lagging in the story until the final episode. The story is interesting.. The plot is good too. As you know how melos are taken... they are a bit slow but not slow to watch when you are into the story.
The casting was good. The play is good. I did not like the music very much though. I don't know why but I felt like there was something missing in the story. May be the logic?... I'm not sure. Or may be the plot... That too I'm not so sure. But the overall drama was a good to go. I am satisfied by the acting and also the story.
I don't know if my review is useful or helpful or at-least reasonable. But if you are able to decide whether to watch the drama or not, based on reading my review, i am glad that it helped you to decide.
Thank you for sparing your your time to go through my review.... :)

This drama was a pretty nice surprise and I’m happy I decided to give it a try.Everything was well executed and I enjoyed the time travel plot. Some moments a bit hard to understand giving the logic of the story and I found a few plot holes but definitely not enough to ruin the story.
The main couple relationship is very healthy and even tough I don’t like cheesy dramas I found myself smiling and enjoying their interactions. I found the female lead was kind of funny.
100% recommandes if you want a nice refreshing drama

Not the slow burn I was expecting
I think my expectations were too high. The first 4 episodes had me hooked, I was in love. I didn’t mind the pacing, it was more action packed than expected based on the other reviews I read. But it truly broke my heart watching them fall in love only for So Joon constantly doubt himself, not listen to any of the advice he was given, and just lie to Ma Rin. I understand their relationship was new, but the lack of communication was maddening. I appreciate the message of the show, to enjoy what you have while you have it, but I expected a slow burn romance and I got a frustrating heartache. Everyone was wonderful in their roles, I wish the other couples/side characters had more screen time. It’s a good show, but it took me through too much emotionally all for a guy to learn how to apologize. Ma Rin deserved better. But at least her two men came through for her in the end.Was this review helpful to you?
Time travel melodrama
This is a slow, well-paced show. Don't expect lots of action when you read it's a time travel fantasy. The writers took their time developing the characters and the story and it was pretty enjoyable being along for the ride. Though I didn't love it, I think it was worth watching, for various reasons.Writing: GOOD: A very good story. There was tension throughout, never knowing what was going to happen next, and just when I thought I'd figured it out, the writers threw in a curve ball. I especially loved the characters of So Joon and his friend Kang Gi Doong. So Joon was a man that, by necessity, lived a pretty solitary life, and I thought it was wonderful that he let his friend in on the secret and his friend always had his back. I liked the concept of the butterfly effect - one change that you make in the present affects the future. I also love the fate aspect, meeting in the past and again in the future. NOT SO GOOD: I did have trouble, however, keeping track of past, present and future events, which often took me out of the story. Often there was not clear delineation to give you a good idea which timeline you were in. I had a difficult time with the reason for the breakup, I felt it was weak. And not to give anything away, but if you know something is going to happen at a specific intersection at a specific time, why not just avoid the intersection? The secrets went on too long: "I have things to tell you but I can't tell you and you just have to trust me for awhile."
Acting: GOOD: Lee Je Hoon did a wonderful job. He had to display a wide range of emotions and I always felt he was believable. He started out just being self-absorbed, not wanting to get involved in anyone else's life. As the story progressed, you could see how much he cared for others. NOT SO GOOD: Shin Min Ah is a good actress, but when she gets upset, she overacts. I found it hard not to laugh during her over-the-top crying scenes. And when her voice went up an octave when she was trying to be cute/sexy I just had to cringe.
CHARACTERS: GOOD: So Joon. Good progression of his character throughout the show. NOT SO GOOD: I did not like the character of Ma Rin at all. First, the woman seriously needed to start going to AA meetings! She had a real drinking problem. That was not enjoyable to watch. I felt her character was pitiful - she was trying to start a business, but she was just so sad to me. She seemed to always be listening to other people's conversations and going where she was not supposed to go. I felt that she was pushy and clingy with him. I didn't find anything endearing about her character.
CHEMISTRY: So good!! There was more hugging, hand holding, etc. than we normally see in K-dramas, and they seemed like they were really comfortable with one another. Some of the touching scenes gave me the feels.
OST: The music blended well with what was going on in the show, but there weren't any songs that I absolutely loved.
So, in conclusion, I'm glad I watched it, but I can't highly recommend it. It's one of those "filler" shows when you've watched everything else and are waiting for new shows.

However, the overarching conflict was stretched out for too long. Half the time I wondered if the lead actor was really in love with the female lead or more interested in self preservation.
This is an interesting variation of rich guy/poor girl trope so commonly found in kdramas. I enjoyed that aspect, at the very least.
And leads are quite pretty to watch.
Watch this one if you like time travel and in the mood for general badassery from male leads (this one was great because he can travel through time...)
