Hit the Top

Honestly this show was a rollercoaster (in a good way tho). It had me feeling sad, happy, weirded out, angry etc. It was a great show overall, with an interesting story line, nice production, amazing acting, and ngl imma have to admit, the actors/actresses all in this show were face geniusesssssss. I especially love the female leads character and how the actress portrays the role. This has become one of my all time favourite dramas. I do have to say tho, that the ending was a bit rushed and the beginning of the show was a bit dragged. But overall, it was an enjoyable show. Definitely worth watching!

Not Your Typical Rom-Com but It's Very Cute

So basically our ML is a famous singer who travels 20 years into the future , and learns that he actually disappeared in 1994. You would think the plot is centered around him trying to figure out why he disappeared and how to get back , but the drama strays away from that and shifts into a show about 4 friends trying to figure out their dreams, with an ounce of family relationships being touched upon as well. We also get a glance at how the life of a trainee is, and what it's like to be an idol. A lot of people rate the drama low because of the major change in plot, but personally I loved it, I thought the romance between the leads were cute, and I liked a majority of the cast, especially Eun Woo as MJ, the show had the right balance of comedy and romance, with a great OST. There were some parts of the show that I felt was forced or redundant, but outside of that it is a nice enjoyable watch, and if you're a fan of YSY this is must watch.

The drama started well and I enjoyed watching it for the most part!
I think what bothered me is the fact that the focus of this drama changed after the first half approximately and became 99% focused on the love story. In the beginning Yoo Hyun Tae said that if he traveled to the future there must be a reason, I don't think the reason was to fall in love with some girl...
The music was really nice, be it the free style rap from Lee Ji Hoon or the old songs from J-2, they had a good potential to focus on music and make a story about all the family creating music together. It's a pity it went to waste just to focus on romance
Also I don' really like the female lead personality and I don't see a great chemistry with anyone so I don't think she deserves to end up with any of them.
Regardless it's still a nice drama, just a bit disappointing

A Fine Watch

So this was in my list for loong time,but i just remembered about this so decided to give it a go.

Well overall the drama ,the acting, the story was nice but the time slip reason,or his disappearance was not detailed or was sloppy.The friendship part ,the comedy part as well as the cast was good.

But the romance part didn’t it sync well.Even if he came from the past,they shouldn't have been couples ,because of his relation with ji hoon (those who watch would know).The last episodes were not up to the mark,the beginning was good and catchy but somewhere the plot was lost ig.Also ji hoon's relationship with his mom is very vaguely done so screen presence for them,i think i only heard him "mom" was just once.Also he know abt his son but there was no fatherly love at first then later he just take him outside and mend everything and everything is weird

These parts were lacking,but i gave it an overall 7.Since it was a fine watch!!

If you've watched Shi-Yoon's "YourHonor" Youll deifnitely be reminded how natural and innocent he acts on this drama, i like how the comedy part were made but i hope they had improved its plot and allowed the maximization of the characters. The thought of time travel was not focused unlike other kdramas.

Anyways, it was fun to watch especially the immense character portraying of Woo Seung like how she portrayed Kim Bu Ja in Korean Odyssey. Still a must watch tho.

Hope to see more of Shi-Yoons drama. Though he reminds me of Ji-Soo after seeing the Initial Cover of the drama.

This drama will really hit the top if all characters are maximized. Over all Good :)

This show had all the ingredients of a solid show. Started off with a strong foundation. Introduction of characters was also interesting but as story progressed, it became draggy or rather messy. Instead of love triangle, if they had focussed more on the idols' journey, family and friendships, this would have been an amazing show. Cast was good, the ambience, music was also good. Just that story could have been told better. Things seemed to have lost in a few episodes I enjoyed MJ's journey and all the side characters' journey and would have rather liked to see them more. Their journeys could have been explored more. The show had it's own warm moments but I would skip a lot of scenes if I were to watch it again.

Why Kdrama-land, why?????

I fell in love with Yoon Shi Yoon from Your Honor, I fell in big-time lust with Kim Ming-Jae from Dali/Cocky Prince and Brahms, and who doesn't adore Lee Se Young , especially after Red Sleeve Cuff. Yes, the premise is silly and YSY's acting is over the top, but for the first 3/4th of the series it was silly, over the top kdrama-land fun. And then.....Why writers, WHY??!!?? They totally messed up something awesome with a romance that should have never happened!!!!! YSY's character should have been the catalyst to bring KMY and LSY together, not the other way around! No father, even one in a 23 year old body, makes moves on his son's crush - not cool dramaland!!! I had already invested 11 hours into the drama so I finished it, but each progressive episode got grosser and grosser (for me) as the whole love affair turned my stomach. I'm a kdrama watcher who can re-watch (and re-watch) the love scenes over and over again (Junho and Red Sleeve Cuff, anyone?), but I actually found myself fast-forwarding through the YSY and LSY scenes just to get to the finish line.

In the future dramaland, MORE KMJ and less (for the love of God!) dad's hitting on their son's girl...

Another drama with the time leap thing. Unfortunately, that doesn't work on this one. When the time leap comes up, the drama just can't handle it very well and that resulted to a seriously confusing ending. Other than that, the story was okay, with the leading actor actually supporting the whole drama, even though his chemistry with the girl was so so. The other actors did do well as well, but he was slightly better than them. In addition, the drama had it's funny moments and some stories were interesting to follow for a while, but, at least for me, at some point, the main story got boring, with no actual purpose. So, overall, 6 out of 10.

Yoon Shi Yoon Typecast

I think this is the third drama of Yoon Shi Yoon I've seen where he is typecast as the guy who gets inserted into some people's lives, falls in love with the girl, resists at first, then eventually gives in and takes the girl. This drama is even more similar to FLower Boy Next Door (FBND), in both he somehow gets involved with two people, one with Unrequited Love, tries to help them out, falls for the girl instead, takes him sometime to realize it, finally accepts it and takes the girl. For FBND, it made sense but for this drama it felt kinda forced to me and just wrong. I thought he would eventually get over his feelings and leave the girl for his son, which is the right thing to do, but when I saw the direction they were heading with the story, I felt like I could not watch it anymore. And reading the review pretty much confirms what I suspected. And where I had reached, the story seems to have stalled somehow, some characters have been pushed aside and some plot points have been pushed to the side. I liked Mal Sook's parts, especially with the grandfather and the whole time travel aspect seemed interesting but the whole show stopped being interesting when they tried to ship Hyun Jae and Woo Seung. She clearly implied she liked Ji Hoon too but was only afraid of messing up their friendship since he was all she had as a friend. So I didn't get why he was pushed to the side.
