Go Back Couple

I have to say that I started to watch this drama with no expectations. Usually, I don't watch a drama for the cast but this time I found out this show looking for son ho joon's works. But... to my surprise, after the first 30 minutes of the first episode I was glued to the PC screen! The cast is so cute and sweet, specially the baby, Seo Jin!!! Beyond the strange leap in time, the plot has far exceeded my expectations. There is an interesting mix of romance, drama, fun and real life. I can say I felt so involved, as if every character was a friend of mine to console or to laugh with, to cry with or to worry about. Just like a family, my family... So I just loved it. I really recommand this drama to people who is looking for simplicity, love and cuteness with a slice of seriousness. Moreover, Son Ho Joon and Jang Na Ra were really great. Their characters were so credible and close-knit. Although the real phenomenon of the drama was Kim Mi Kyung (ajumma!!!!!), as always. What else? Just watch it! ;)
(As always I apologize for any errors ?.?)

The story is pretty typical if not common wherein a couple is in on the verge of falling apart and the grand scheme of the universe helps them work it out. But the dedicated and the realistic acting of the cast will pull you in and make you attached to the characters so much that you, yourself, are already rooting for the best for them after everything they've been through. I highly praise Jang Nara and Son Ho Jun for their performance as the main couple for they made my heart ache in ways I never knew it could. The way the plot was wirtten worked so well in telling the story and capturing the characters' best moments in their lives along with the script that gave the most beautiful lines and realizations about life and its journey through one's family and relationships. The scriptwriters told a truly moving story that will make you reflect about your own relationships in your life.

This is my first time writing a review for a drama here. I can't help myself but this drama is so urggh. Words can't even describe it. I ASOLUTELY LOVE IT! The acting, whenever Jang Nara cries, I cry too. I loved her since I watched Fated To Love You. The main actor is also not bad, he also made me cry. I love actors who make me cry.  Their OST is also perfect, although I won't be downloading them since most of them are sad, but they fit the drama perfectly. I love how they portrayed their characters. WANJEON PERFECT!! Besides we are all just humans with flaws. This drama made me think about how I should treat friends and how I should live my life. This show also made me have the second lead syndrome. Out of all the dramas I've watched, this was the first time that I was rooting for the second lead!!! (But Son Ho Jun got me in the end <3) My rewatch value score is low because I don't think my heart can handle the drama again! Definitely recommending this if you want a drama that will touch your soul!!

Seemingly cliché, but surprisingly addicting and insightful.

This drama is filled with classic K-Drama clichés. Multiple love triangles? Check. The female lead trips and gets caught by a man (I won’t tell you which man. ;))? Check—multiple times. Those clichés are so obvious that one cannot help but wince when they happen.

However, those clichés are easily overshadowed by the superb acting of every single actor and the skillful plot execution of the writers and producers.

There are plenty of moments when the main leads skillfully bring forth their “mature adult personas” in their everyday interactions. Even the support cast does well with adding depth to the character interaction and story development—especially Ma Jin Joo’s parents (played by Lee Byung Joon and Kim Mi Kyung). Combined with the writing, the characters do well in portraying the realistic challenges of a marriage.

Unlike many dramas, no one character makes the viewer fully hate them. Well, there may be one…but her reasons are justified. Throughout the episodes, one may root for two people, but at the same time, feel bad about the third person who gets left out. It gets to the point where you internally bicker with yourself to determine who to root for.

Another element that makes this drama special is the end of each episode when it reveals a relevant snippet of what really happened in the couple’s lives. Those ending snippets nicely ties each episode together, while showcasing a different side of the story. This makes the viewer empathize even more with each main character, and it makes them want to see more.

I’m glad that I gave this K-Drama a chance.

We Were Never Just Young — We Were Trying

Go Back Couple didn’t just move me — it reached into the part of me that catalogues all the quiet things I never said, all the love I didn’t know how to hold when it mattered. I thought I was walking into a breezy time-travel rom-com, a light reset-button kind of story. But what I got was something so much more bruised and honest. It wasn’t asking how to fix a marriage. It was asking why we stop seeing each other — and ourselves — in the first place.

Jang Na-ra doesn’t perform pain, she carries it. Her portrayal of Jin-joo hit in waves — the exhaustion, the resentment, the way her voice would falter not out of weakness but from years of shrinking into roles she never asked for. There were moments when she looked in the mirror, or sat in silence after a sharp word, and it wasn’t dramatic — it was familiar. Uncomfortably so.

Son Ho-jun surprised me with how vulnerable he let his character be, even when he was failing. Especially when he was failing. His Go Chan was never written as a savior, just a man who stopped understanding the woman he loved and didn’t know how to say he was sorry until the moment had already passed. His regret didn’t come with grand gestures. It came in cracked voices and missed opportunities. That kind of grief feels real.

What struck me most wasn’t the “what if” of youth regained, but the slow recognition of what they both lost in the in-between: themselves. This wasn’t about nostalgia. It was about rediscovery — how love gets buried under fatigue and ego, how resentment grows in the space where conversation should’ve been. Watching them relive those early years with hindsight was quietly devastating. Because knowing better doesn’t undo the damage. It just makes it clearer.

Yes, the pacing sagged a little in the middle. And some of the side plots leaned on lighter genre tropes. But the emotional core? Unshakable. There were scenes that made me cry without knowing why — not because they were sad, but because they reminded me of versions of myself I don’t think about anymore.

By the time it ended, I didn’t just want them to find their way back to each other. I wanted them to find their way back to who they used to be — to who they almost became. It made me want to forgive someone. To call someone. To say, “I remember when we were still trying.”

Some stories don’t offer healing. They just remind you it’s still possible.

I didn't have much expectations for Go Back Couple when I started watching it. Jang Nara never disappoints and I was excited to see Son Hojoon in his first lead role. But wow, this was a really good watch,

It was satisfying all throughout. Tied up really nicely. All my questions were answered, all in just 12 episodes. Amazing!

I love how it not only focused on the leads' relationship but also their surroundings and how each of them affects everyone.

NO TOXIC CHARACTERS. NO ANNOYING LOVE TRIANGLES!

This drama will be remembered for a  long time. I love you, Go Back Couple!

So emotional T-T

Just finished watching and i haven't cried this much watching a kdrama in a long time. Everything about the storytelling of this kdrama was well done. If anything, this kdrama had the potential to be longer, to give space for secondary characters to also have their fair share of screen time.

The thing i fear the most it's misunderstandings. All of a sudden friendships, love relationships and family bonds end because of a misunderstanding or lack of communication. The whole mother/daughter relationship absolutely ended me. My father died 10 years ago and there's just so much i would like to have done with him that i never got a chance to. I love the actress that did the mother's role, she is always so kind and a perfect mom in almost all kdramas i've watched with her. Adore her. I am so happy they had such a lovely dynamic.

Since i liked all characters so much i wished we could've seen how everyone end up like that in the end and explore all characters. But looked like there was not enough time to shoot everything. It's ok. This was more than enough.

I think this is the type of kdrama that teaches you valuable things. A big thank you to the writer!

this was really going to be the best drama i watched from while ago .... BUT -_-

as usual they lost the main aspect they should focus on and got busy with another aspect

the main idea was to get back to see the value of what u have and don't let problems blind u
to know how to deal with your problems in marriage
to focus how to develop yourself and help others around u to get better

but they focused suddenly more on parenting and youth problems
which really distracted me
and sequently
the romance between the couple got lukewarm

the main leads from my opinion didn't get close to each other as i thought to know the real reasons which led to this situation
they discovered about each other coincidentally which was really illogical for me and made the main idea lost

even when the 2 main leads back as adults they didn't think most of the time as they should according to their age

many side stories were open for me even the 2 main leads which gave u the feeling the director ends the drama in rush
and too many flash backs for the same scene with many different explanations which lead you to be bored

i'm really frustrating for the turn the drama took towards the end :(

this drama is not romance it's purely social

To die for. Whenever i think of it i get emotional. I cried almost at every episode i watched, the last one i cried much more because there weren't anymore to watch and for the fact they made it a 12 episode drama and not 16. I actually lived with it, i shared the same concerns with the actors and really got inspired by it. I can't believe a drama like that exists, with the right amount of laughs, of embarassment, of jealousy, of romance, of cuteness, .... everything seemed so perfect. I actually agreed with the characters' choices, which is not usual since i fell in love with the second male-lead (as i have the second male-lead syndrome) , but it was so weird for meto actually agree with the writer and bring the two leads together . It had a great ending, totally perfect. I'm still hoping for a second season everyone.
