Kim Dong Wook's My Perfect Stranger doing a much better job in the timetravel mystery genre. Train felt like too much typical mystery thriller, nothing special.
I wanted to like this because Yoon Shi Yoon + dark comedy, but unfortunately it was too focused on typical office workplace drama, which is a genre that bores me to tears.
It has. Um. I've seen it a couple times, but I can't remember where. Maybe Chun Woo Hee's previous drama Be Melodramatic?…
They did do something similar to 4th wall breaks at the beginning of Be Melodramatic though, Chun Woo Hee's quirky character was talking to bags (yes bags lol) and it might've been filmed like talking to the audience, not sure .

Hmmm I don't recall 4th wall breaks in Be Melodramatic, the humor is also similar both in writing but also because through Be Melodramatic I realized Wohee is quite simialr to her Be Melo character, She even talked about this in an interview "(when talking about be melo)expressing more my real character in slice of life type shows" (she has a witty quirky snarky personality, only less shameless and more humble and considerate irl than in Be Melo along her snark). So it's the actress bringing along her funny snark and acting style in both shows. 😆 (compare to for example her movie with Kim Nam Gil.Her character so serious and toned tone low energy there. Snark made no sense for the character, although that character was quirky as well. Playing a conwoman, that same fun wit makes sense again, she can being along her snark again to make the character more intriguing)
Wahh why the melodrama??? I am interested cause its rated high but I don't like melodrama
Don't be fooled by the title, this isn't really a melodrama, sure it has melo elements (one main char coping with a death), but it's actually a SLICE OF LIFE Drama.
Ko Chia Yen is a tremendously brilliant actress. She plays 2 completely different characters here in completely…
Jeon Yeo Been is also a brilliant actress. All her characters in her different projects are all worlds apart. She will differentiate between 2 chars like a pro. Especially watch her in Be Melodramatic (& compare w for example her Glitch character after) & you'd have no doubts. In fact I'd say, she is THE actress with the most acting talent of these new next gen k actors. She recently went to Cannes, while many of her contemporaries can only dream; where international directors highly praised her brilliant acting after watching her movie there, she won more praise than even some of her senior actors. So her acting will not be an obstacle lol,
however WRITING remains to be seen. On that part, I agree & am quite worried. Let's hope for the best.
Casting JYB however shows their awareness of having big shoes to fill, they knew they absolutely needed not just a great actress but the best actress or no go. One can only hope they show the same awareness when writing the script.
K guys cuz y'all appreciating it so much i'll try even tho i hate mysteries
It's not really the typical mystery, but more multi-genre and has other aspects to enjoy beside the mystery. Plus an exciting timebomb of male lead having limited time to solve the mystery or he dies. Suprisingly there's even an unexpected psychological/healing genre part (Female lead & her mom aspect of the story). Have fun ✨
This was way better than expected, somehow expected it to be just typical mystery thriller despite its timetravel theme, but it's more of a mixed genre drama with multiple things to enjoy while watching not just its mystery, but it has family past, a ML with limited time to prevent his own death, multi-couples romances, friendships, bullying, trauma, youth, 80s aesthetics, cooperation...
Off topic but I just realized that Find Me In Your Memory, You Are My Spring, My Perfect Stranger and Delightfully Deceitful most of his drama posters are in green color lol
But anyway green suit his dramas, the color of growth and healing
I'd say it's a melodrama. The conflicts of the main characters are heavy and the comedy part is mostly banter…
Oh ok thank you so much for your explaination! I think then I can look forward to this one! 🥰 Banter is fun, I welcome it, good to skip the cheesy romcom tropes & go for the more serious melorom with heavy subjects and not meaningless fluff.
Watching this drama realizing how self-destructive overt self-blame can be. Most troubles for the characters here…
Great EPILOGUE DIALOGUE: When 1 door closes another opens.....But most people are too busy looking at the closing door. So take just small steps towards new door for happiness. 🥰
Watching this drama realizing how self-destructive overt self-blame can be. Most troubles for the characters here caused by the words "Because of me...."
The writers did a good job in writing this and bringing to life sweet characters and their bonds along with a great message. Too bad too many "delayed plot by misunderstanding/not speaking up/Near misses", otherwise this could've easily been a 10 drama!
oh noo cry abt it, ur opinon dont matter anyway. also now we're criticising her looks? LMFAOO atleast shes succesful…
She's a talented & charming actress, your irrellevant opinion about her won't change the fact that she's cast in this intriguing drama with LMH. You have very bad taste in actresses to be hating on her lol, you can continue to cry but GHJ living her best life as a succesful actress with an upcoming Netflix drama. ðŸ¤
I like Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin, which makes me odd according to the other comments here. I love LMH, so I…
Same, I actually like them both. Although to be honest I USED TO not like LMH, but I like his projects post military. I realize that disliking him before was more about the characters he used to play (cold arrogant rich characters) along with him feeling overrated. I really liked him in The King Eternal Monarch to my great surprise & will give his less jerk like characters a try. After military he's no longer as popular, there are others just as or more popular than him now, so it no longer feels like he's overrated, which used to put me off from him in the past.

OMG. Looking foward to this girl-girl romance.
Was going to watch this just for Eunbin, but now all the more reason to watch.
Too bad, I like both leads.

Go watch those and leave the grown ups' dramas alone.
