thats funny cause i also watched it at 14 but wasnt too fond of it. your taste probably wasn't bad though. like other commenters said, our liking of a drama and disliking of another has to do with many factors. people rate dramas based on their own rubrics and i feel like a lot of people when first getting into asian dramas rate them pretty well as our firsts are usually our favorites and seem completely different and beautiful compared to western shows a lot of us had been used to.

thinking about picking this up so i watched the first 2 episodes. does this get any less serious/more lighthearted?

i wish this show had more than 4 episodes because its so good, but i like how writers and producers are deviating from the classic 16 episode kdrama format to shorter formats that dont drag or have a lot of filler.

the drama actually sucks in literally everything its doing for the main couple, but everything else is fun and i like it.

i feel we arent watching the same drama

while i agree that this is probably the worst/harshest punishment for yeojin, i still dont think it shouldve been the punishment put in place because of how terribly its going to hurt the baby. the punishment should hurt yeojin directly, not her innocent child. I feel like i dont even need to get to all of the things that could happen to that baby. losing a child is terrible, but being human trafficked is objectively worse

didn't read it myself but i remember reading from other comments a couple weeks ago that taeyong (originally seungcheon) ends up with yeojin and they have a child. Not sure if 'taeyong' dies or ends up switching people again in the webtoon like in the drama. Also not sure if Juhee and seungcheon (originally taeyong) stay together.

1. so we know nara stole the life of yeojin, eventually leading to nara's death after her new dad couldnt afford treatment. we know that nara was kind of a shitty, manipulative, selfish person but HOW IN THE WORLD is proper punishment for that getting your INFANT CHILD HUMAN TRAFFICKED. her punishment could've been getting hit by a bus, getting sick or somehow left alone/poor for the rest of her life.. but what was justified in ruining the life of a baby? Not only will Yeojin (nara) suffer, but so will her father, husband and baby. and then the episode is just like "thats just what you get"......... !??!?!?!?!? also how did anyone in their mostly right mind think it was okay for nara's father to come work for the family?

i say there are multiple issues with the ending but this is really the only specific one i can think of. all other issues are issues with the drama as a whole and not the last episode in particular (insisting on the juhee x original seungcheon pairing, kdramaland's obsession with having a leading pairing stay together even when it doesnt make sense, small inconsistencies in the aspects of the golden spoon etc)

nonetheless, this drama has entertained me for a month and for that, there is merit to be found

This couldve been a 10/10 drama for me if it followed the webtoon a little closer. also, multiple issues i have with the ending-

honestly, yeojin doesn't deserve anyone.

that is so true now that you point it out. she's just a plot device. when she figures out that seungcheon switched places, i had assumed that it would be a whole deal for her for multiple reasons being
1. she loves her father and has an unjustified amount of tolerance for her other family members. Why would she be so understanding of Seungcheon that changed his?
2. shes been in a relationship with 2 different guys without knowing for over a decade. if that was me i think id have an identity crisis
3. seungcheon did shitty things while playing as taeyong, and juhee is not oblivious to this.
another tell of her quite literally just being a plot device is how she claims she 'liked the old seungcheon' and that 'he changed' when shes tries figuring out what happened to her feelings. this makes no sense. if anything, the difference between real seungcheon and taeyongs seungcheon is that taeyong's seungcheon is more sensitive and sympathetic........ so why in the world would she like 'seungcheon' less?
she spent 20+ years with the real taeyong and maybe 2 with the real seungcheon but reacted the way she did.... make it make sense.

they keep their initial appearances but everyone will recognize them differently.

Although this is how it works, i've also noticed that if one of them is visibly hurt (bruising for example) and they switch places, the bruising will stay on the person that was supposed to be hurt (so if "seungcheon" got a bruise on his face, whichever body is recognized as seungcheon will have the bruise, whether that be the real seungcheon or fake seungcheon (taeyong))

im not sure if i should pick this one up. i always try to watch park min young dramas but they all end up flopping for me for some reason

says the one who is commenting on other people's appearances and what they decide to do with it

im actually surprised to come back here two years after this first aired and see it rated at only a 7.9, which is not terrible, but surprising considering how much praise this drama got on here in 2020.

they literally expected it to happen in the first episode

rant
some spoilers but not marked cause i dont think people actually come to this page often. im only on episode four and what im describing is the same situation that happens every episode so far.

i blame the time conductor man. Baek Ho didn't need to go back ten years or even five. i honestly think he needed a few months at most. time conductor man knew that Baek Ho had been too scared or dumb to confess in the past twenty years, so what made him think that sending back that idiot ten years would fix things? im genuinely entertained by this drama, but this is also ridiculous. Baek Ho gets more than enough chances to fix things, but instead plays the lottery each time thinking.... "hmm maybe if i do this when i go back to the future we might get married". like bro..... your chances of marrying the love of your life would've gone from 0% to 100% in a matter of SECONDS if you had just confessed the first time you had the chance to go back. like he already knew that Yi Seul liked him from the letter he found.. so why does it seem like he's just going back to woo her? he already had her returned feelings and all he needed to do was simply confess.. but no. plus why does this drama love to shit on him? Yi Seul seemed to have serious feelings for Baek Ho sooner than he did her and yet she never had the courage to do anything, instead choosing to stay sad about something she never confirmed herself. the way she acted almost made it seem like she had been rejected multiple times before. like girl... missed opportunity is NOT rejection.

also, it just doesn't sit right with me that the man Yi Seul was gonna marry was her teacher. no matter the timeline i dont get how it happened or WHY that was even allowed.

while i do agree with you when you say the fl was frustrating for not even fighting for how she felt, i kinda disagree when you say she doesnt deserve him. they are both equally cowards that continue to fuck up their opportunities. Baek Ho could literally go back in time to fix his mistakes but is too stupid to actually do it. Yi Seul is in love with the same guy for like two decades but never confesses, but instead of being upset with herself, she's upset with him. theyre both ridiculous

well dang i was thinking about starting this today

did you mean to reply this to my comment?
