We cannot know with absolute certainty what happened behind closed doors. None of us was there. What we can judge is what was proven legally and how both the system and society reacted.
The rape accusations did not result in a conviction. In some cases, extortion or false accusations were proven. He was not found guilty of sexual assault by the courts. And yet, his career was completely destroyed before the legal process was even fully concluded.
People often confuse “making mistakes” with “being a rapist,” and those two things are not the same.
Personally, I do not want to take a side in terms of blindly supporting or condemning someone. What truly angers me is how easily cancel culture turns into collective hatred, even when there are no absolute facts. We have seen repeatedly where this kind of cancel culture can lead, including tragic cases like Kim Sae-ron and Lee Sun-kyun.
Society can be incredibly cruel, unforgiving, and driven by outrage. It often leaves no room for people to make mistakes, take responsibility, grow, and rebuild their lives. That is what I am angry about. And that is why I choose to support those who are genuinely trying, in one way or another, to reclaim their lives and move forward doing what they love.

First of all, this is a very mean spirited comment. Taste is subjective and just because someone is not attractive to you does not mean they are not attractive to others. I personally find him very charming and masculine. Reducing an actor’s worth to their appearance is shallow and unfair, especially when acting is about talent, expression and emotional depth, not fitting a narrow beauty standard. Comments like this contribute to a toxic culture that pressures people to obsess over looks and ignore personality, skill and individuality. They can genuinely harm others who read them and start doubting their own value because they do not match unrealistic expectations. It would be much more respectful to acknowledge that not every face is meant to appeal to everyone and that diversity in appearance is what makes storytelling and real life more authentic and relatable

But he didn’t erase all of their struggles. What he desperately wanted to erase was his father’s accident and he didn’t succeed in that.
The whole family remained deaf in the future as well and he was once again the only one who could hear.
We shouldn’t forget how desperate his father felt when he was young and after the accident, standing on that rooftop.
He didn’t magically create a perfect, dream life for his family. Step by step, they managed to become successful, but this time with the support and love of family and friends.

I disagree. When he went back in time and repaired his family’s relationships, he gave them something far more important: having family and friends by their side who truly love and support them.
When people have meaningful and healthy relationships, they become more complete and confident, which makes it easier for them to pursue their dreams. That often leads to success, both personally and professionally.
That’s what the ending showed to me, not that money brings happiness, but that his parents became successful and confident because they first had love, support, and strong foundations in their relationships

worth it, because they can save the victims, also maybe they can save his father while he made those choices because of his mother who abandoned him

OMG!! I have to see this!! Greece is my Country 😍❤️

At some point in the series, there is a third character who shows interest in the female lead, but it’s not very significant

The sexual assault accusations were proven false in court, and the accuser was even charged with defamation. In Korea, we’ve also seen many cases where false sexual scandal accusations have ruined careers before the truth came out. As for the drug issue, people can make mistakes, and when someone seeks recovery and rehabilitation, there should be room for forgiveness. Even in Hollywood, many celebrities have been given second chances, why not here too?

This drama touched on powerful social issues. It showed how in Korea an older mother or one with children struggles to find a job, how divorced women face heavy judgment, and how single fathers are criticized online. The harshness of public opinion and outdated views are shocking, and if ordinary people suffer this way, celebrities face even more cruelty through cancel culture, with almost no forgiveness. Even if they make mistakes, they are still human, and there should always be hope for forgiveness. I hope Korean society moves into a new era, because it is no coincidence that so many tragedies and suicides are linked to this constant pressure and judgment.

The most moving part of the drama was that even when he turned back time and had the chance to chase his own dreams, he once again gave priority to his children. Once a parent, always a parent

What an amazing drama! I was deeply moved by the father’s story. It reminded me that our parents were once young too, with dreams of their own, dreams they put aside because they made their children their top priority. Truly touching and unforgettable. Lee Do Hyun is such an outstanding actor, so young, yet able to convey the depth and vibes of a middle-aged man

For the first time in my K-drama life, I experienced Second Male Lead Syndrome because of Lee Do Hyun. His performance completely stole my heart, and from now on I’ll be following him in every drama he takes on. Truly an outstanding actor

The ending was perfect in my eyes: catharsis and justice.

The most underrated K-drama I’ve ever watched. It’s one of the very few where I couldn’t predict the ending at all — truly a rollercoaster of emotions. A solid 10/10 for me. It kept me on the edge of my seat, not knowing who to root for, and I genuinely loved every single main character.

It breaks my heart to see how easily someone can be cancelled in Korea’s entertainment industry. One actor made mistakes in the past — like so many of us — but instead of being allowed to grow and move forward, he was surrounded by rumors, harsh judgment, and completely false accusations.

People often forget that actors are human too. They struggle, they learn, they change. Yet the industry and public can be so unforgiving, even when someone is sincerely trying to become better.

We should give people a chance to make amends and find their place again, not push them into isolation. The constant bullying and cancel culture can be devastating — and sadly, we’ve already seen the consequences of that in Korea.

I truly hope he comes back stronger, with his head held high. He deserves another chance — just like anyone else who has made mistakes and wants to do better.

This series is still relevant — even though it was filmed back in 2011, these situations sadly continue to happen today. People need to take this as a lesson and finally understand that actors are human beings too. Most of the time, they’re dragged into scandals that aren’t even true.

And even when something is true — maybe they once used drugs, caused an accident, got into a fight, or simply dated someone and broke up — these are still human mistakes. Fans shouldn’t bully or cancel them over it. The Korean entertainment industry is already extremely tough. These artists deserve the chance to grow, to change, to come back — not to be crushed and lose their careers forever.

We’ve seen what bullying leads to. So many heartbreaking suicides have happened in Korea because of this.

I hope this becomes a wake-up call. People need to understand that cruel words and cancel culture hurt — even celebrities. It's heartbreaking how easily someone can be cancelled for a mistake (and I'm not talking about irreversible crimes). We need to stop the hate and start showing compassion.

I Hope she will come back with a leading role. She always make me smile and make my day! She is the joy of life ❤️

One of my favorite actors of all time!! I miss to see him in a rom com!
