You did well in Love, Take Two. Hope to see you as lead more often in the future.

I’m really into romance dramas with middle-aged couple leads. If I enjoyed Love, Take Two, Crash Course in Romance or Second Love from the Start, will I enjoy this too?

It’s always the dramas where Kim Mi Kyung ahjumma star in that turn out to be gems.

That bit part where Jisu pointed out that she is the complete opposite of Seungli’s ideal type… I think that’s the same thing with Jeongmok liking Do first, but later falling for Jiyeon. Ideal types are from the head but we do fall in love with the heart first and then make choices with the head.

Jiyeon and JM story is something I would love to see in a movie.

I think the 10 episodes of this show is not enough for a significant character growth for Jaeyoon. I keep getting secondhand embarrassment watching him, since I somehow understand his awkwardness, his overthinking after expressing himself to someone, and the rest. I feel bad that he wasn't able to spend time with YM early on; he would have some chance with her if he did.

I look at SH and I see a big kid.

I like how JS didn't let her popularity get into her head. I'm not rooting her for anyone in particular. I just hope she ends up with someone she can rely on.

MH is such a best friend material. It's nice that she was able to develop friendships in the show. I do hope she ends up having a happy and long-lasting relationship even if it's not from this show.

I would have loved to see more of Seungchan and Miji but they don't have enough screen time.

That last line from JM in Episode 8 is not exactly surprising for me, knowing his line of thinking about pursuing a relationship. Out of all the guys in the show, it's JM's personality that I like the most. The only unlikeable thing he did was to leave YD in that gray area after making her feel like a princess for most of the episodes. I just hope he is able to part ways with YD in a good note.

A part of me agrees with you. But a part of me also thinks: if this second chance was given so he could pursue her, if not a relationship with, at least be able to give her the love she deserves, then the second chance at life (in connection to Misa) would have been in vain.

It is better to love and get hurt than not love at all.

Misa’s revelation could have been an opportune time for Wataru to tell her that he’s also from the future. But…

He realizes that if their fate gets transferred to other people, then Yuta might be in danger. Before he could truly end up with Misa, Wataru has to take care of other matters first. And especially make sure that while doing so, he keeps Misa safe (therefore, the distance).

At this point, though, a third person should know and be convinced that he and Misa are from 2025. That person could be of much help to them.

That last part in Episode 8 got me a little confused… But here’s my theory:

1. If I am not mistaken, before the final scene was cut, a car was just arriving. I do believe that was So Hee.
2. It seemed like “seed” money for someone who decides to give up on the exam before even taking it. Negative motivation in a way. After all the hard days of study, to take the money is making all those days go to waste. But Young Ho took it so he could go to Busan.

(This is a really late reply. Lol)

Same

I’ve seen him since He is Psychometric and I can say, he disappears with each role. I hope his acting career will continue to grow.

If have a feeling that by that moment (ending scene) the twins have switched back. I’m looking forward for the love line between Mi-rae and Se-jin finally connect.

The unknown (miji) future (mirae) is something that cannot be chased, it only unfolds.

Just like with Ho-su, I think we will be getting some POV story from Se-jin. He and Mi-rae seem like kindred spirits. There need not be any dialogue when Se-jin first saw Mi-rae. Only a simple glance toward her, and he immediately understood. And that image stayed in him. And just as he prayed that he may overcome the struggle he was going through at that time, so he whispered the same prayer for Mi-rae. (He may not even know her name then; and it probably didn’t matter that much.)

Far guess here, but maybe Se-jin already knew Mi-rae in Seoul back then. I just have this feeling… Or maybe not.

I really like this Se-jin guy. If he were a real person, I’d like to be friends with him. Haha. Anyway, I think I missed it, but how did he go from those misspoken names to sticking to just Mi-rae? Is it just because he liked the name when Ms. Seoul (Mi-ji) introduced herself or was he able to tell them apart (which is less likely)?

Rewatching this for the first time... It's a whole new journey once you watch it knowing the ending.

This would have worked better for me if it were a 12-episode drama. At some point, I kept on watching because of the secondary couple and more adult side couple. While both lead actors are a sight to watch, the way their characters were written didn’t sit well with me. But since this is more slice of life than romance (or even comedy), I could see how realistic, in Korean culture, their dynamics are. Or even as real persons in general who often make the mistake of making selfish decisions for the “sake of others”, or failing to express the love they have for family or significant other until the last minute, they could hit harder if you lived a similar experience. This drama, I could say, is not for everybody’s enjoyment but watching it would at least make you reflect on your own life and relationships. 8/10

As an kdrama enthusiast, I give this an 8/10. But the Catholic person in me thinks this drama’s script, theology-wise is a 2/10. Then again, it’s a fantasy drama. (Funny thing though, I happen to watch this after finishing Heavenly Ever After.)
