Story is not gripping enough to keep watching, watered down after episode 2. Eventhough the heroine seems sweet enough to continue , couldnt bear to go on any longer after episode 6. Dropping it.
Good theme and premise after a very long time, it made me care for the story and not felt like a household chore to watch a kdrama as most recent dramas. Splendid acting from ML and enchanting beauty of an Lead actress , sadly the romantic note clearly was not striking . It had the best recipe for supreme romance , a resentful , detestable misunderstood guy stuck in Heroine's crush's body and how slowly they resolve the conflicts , but did not feel chemistry.
That blind guy could have been easily subdued or removed with the power ML possess , but he was like pest go on living perinatally costing the drag time of the story.
Anyways as much as i have some gripes , this is far better than most dramas came out in last two years and helped me got over the Kdrama slump and starting a show and dropping it midway, This one i completed it felt good. 8/10.
It was watchable till EP6 , Post that its gotten way too boring to be invested in rooting for characters or curious about the story. I though the time factor is gonna hook me which adds a neat fantasy and twist element in most stories, but as it progress i felt why a need for fantasy at all , if the story is based on some clever protagonist this would have worked equally as effective. The other drama Devil judge had me hooked throughout , this one lackluster.
Can someone pls recommend more dramas with fl as the ceo n ml as secretary/ employee? Most ones i've watched always…
I am sure you have seen most of these, and some are with FL have upper hand in power dynamics and not straight up boss employee , These are comes to mind.
Hotel del Luna Encounter , Angel's Last Mission: Love , My daemon, She would never know , Death's game, Dinner mate, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Introverted Boss (Even though Boss is male, FL takes full charge)
Hoping it would like Live up to your name,, queen in hun man etc; To me this is Extremely boring story , Not engaging on any factors, From actors , to chemistry to dialogue and interaction , all feels flat and broody ML and goofy FL has been a perfect match in other dramas but not here , its is irritating. dropped it at EP6
Love Time travel themes and this one is no exception , fantastic first half , Enjoyed bickering relationship between leads and the quirky music and face reactions of folks who taste the out of the world foods first time and how the animations shows the fireworks in overlay images like ratatouille . However the story turned bland in the second half for me . had to force myself to completion. The Lead actress's beautiful face had me glued and made it till the end. chemistry between them was clearly lacking , could have casted another ML , not for the acting but for the lacking chemistry. Anyways , on to finding any other time travel dramas.
Even though the premise set out for an exciting and entertaining drama, it immediately driveled into formulaic and nothing of substance. There werent pretty good squabbles and bickering between the Leads which elevates the chemistry and relationship as seen in many other similar trope dramas The random crimes and investigations arent engaging enough to invest hour long time for each episodes Even the characters were one dimensional and unable to see any layer or depth to be charmed by them Finally the typical finale murder and motive and perpetrator are tied into a pretty cliched bow we have seen several times.
Its been a routine of mine since last two years , keep getting excited about drama because of MDL rating and getting disappointed pretty soon as i start watching. 6/10
From what I understood, she felt anxious around him because he was liked by others. She wanted to spend every…
About the number of times he tried, was talked about in the movie, when the girls were gossiping it in cafeteria during lunch time .
But what you said about "plot doesnt speak for everyone , especially if someone doesnt deal with depression or loneliness " I might slightly have a different stance
The movie or drama if effectively told and acted well , it can, have and will evoke the emotions in the audience , even the ones they have never experienced before. make them take the shape of the vessel like a water or a clay
One doesnt had to have personal loss to sob inconsolably for a character in a screen , feel the love portrayed in the screen , experience the horror , thriller shown on screen.
All it takes is a good drama , which is what i felt missing here.

Thank you Frosty for taking time in explaining , I can get the full picture and somewhat get the gist of it as you described , but i couldnt connect with how they portrayed and behaved, wasnt able to resonate . The yellow hair guy who is super friendly , cool headed, able to make good judgements to salvage situation and insightful , had passion for music , had friends , with all this , he was having conversation what i infer to be a mother figure , then the next scene he was lying the ground , that so unable to relate . FL able to stood up for herself by telling the other Jealous girl that "she was nothing special " when she was forcing a lipstick on her. Thats out of character. ML demise is only seem to be forced script to elicit melodrama . Felt like it was extremely slow when needed to pick pace and jumped jarringly to these unable to connect with scenes.
Anyways, i will go find some melodrama and have good ugly cry this weekend.
Was kinda okay till midway , then couldnt understand why they separated and why the other friend tried to commit himself off , how did the ML disappear? could be partially because i fast-forwarding most scenes . Anyway lost interest after midpoint .
Nothing new that we haven't seen before. i wasnt able to feel the characters chemistry and the climax reveal didnt hit me as they intended to evoke the emotion . Felt bland and mediocre . Same trope used in countless movies and dramas had broke me to inconsolable tears and sobbing , but this one didnt. 6.5/10
I think you will relate more if you are a woman who consumes luxury goods or have been tempted by them. Not saying…
I think its universal and doesnt confined to gender , A drive to fit-in among the class of what perceived to be elite or buy branded items to step into a persona and have others to name you as the one who buy and wear luxury items etc; But it is also gender agnostic to feel the emotion and empathetic towards the Leads when there is strong backstory or screenplay to convince the audience that their actions are justified and we can resonate with , despite the theme , or even if the lead is morally grey . Though most wont admit , there is a man in a women and a women in a man.
Superficial story , drawn out to 8 episodes , one may not be related by most people. It had descend into convoluted towards the end and characters motives and behavioral change and interaction is not fully flushed out , it had to get convinced by the actions they take. Apart from some fantastic poignant and deeply philosophical lines which echoes as life lessons here and there like the lines from the novel, i finished thinking , what i am even gained from spending all this time where i couldnt even relate with FL and root for her ?? Although i do not regret watching this , i certainly feel its waste of time and will never watch this again.
