Ngl... I'm slightly surprised by the amount of downright BAD reviews and hateful comments for this drama because I enjoyed it? To each their own I guess. Though I kinda agree with some takes here. It's true this was too slow paced which I don't usually mind but since this was only eight episodes long everything was only superficially explored and rushed at the end. Netflix has no problem releasing nonsense dramas with 16 eps but this one that actually had a lot of things to explore only got eight? So yeah it ended up being a little shallow. Also that electro music was something? But I did love the chemistry between the leads and God bless them they really tried (and did) their best with was given to them. It's a shame people are not liking this.

Honestly I don’t even go here (meaning this is not my genre of choice) but this is worth your time 100% ! It had me at the edge of my seat each episode. The characters had depth, the fighting sequences were brutally intense and well executed, the actors were tremendously good at portraying these complex characters. They kept a good pace that maintain the tension. High honors to Ji ChangWook. his ability to play the role of a good cop losing himself a bit in the madness of it all was brilliant but honestly I never doubted his ability to pull this off, his chemistry with Wi hajoon was crazy good. Hajoon also did a magnificent job. Truly the whole cast did a great job. This could’ve fallen flat without the right cast and thankfully they picked right. So go watch it!

Ok, so their child brought him back. The clue is in the conversation Do Da Hae has with the kid right before. She asks where did he find the ball he was holding in his hand since she spent all day looking for it and couldn't find it. And then he explains he went to the past and brought it back. Then after realizing that her son’s power is going to the past and bringing things to the present, she asks him to bring back his father whom she lost 15 years ago. So my guess is that right after gwi ju saved her, their kid appeared and brought him back. Thus saving him from the explosion and bringing him to the present.

Contrary to the comments I liked this. Maybe because I thought this was going to be wacky but it turned out to be much more grounded than I expected. The ost was very much atypical for a drama and it fit perfectly with the overall vibe of the story. I think this drama was a good step for Jang KiYoung's post-military acting career, at the very least I feel there's considerable improvement in his acting here compared to his past works. I liked the cast chemistry a lot and I hope to see more of the “samchoon”! I thought he was really cute and I was very surprised when I found out that apparently, the actor is the maknae of the family. Anyhow to me, this drama has been one of the good ones of 2024.

Just finished this and while technically this is a happy ending….why do I feel so sad?

Im so tired of all the misunderstandings and miss communication and I barely just finished episode 6! Why can’t they just sit down AND TALK

People complain about Shin Sae Kyeon’s acting, and then here I am thinking as I'm watching that this is the best acting I've seen from her yet. The issue here is that Jo Jung Suk is so painfully amazing with his interpretation that it creates a stark contrast between the leads. She was not the most advanced to begin with, I wonder whose idea it was to do her dirty like this. The story might not have been perfect but I've seen worst be very popular. if you had cast someone who could actually emote love as the FL everybody would be eating this up. The tension and chemistry I could feel from their scenes came entirely from Jo Jung Suk, she was too face-stoned to match his energy. Sometimes it felt as if JJS was doing too much with facial expressions to try and get something from her T.T But that's the thing about her I never even know if she actually likes the people she's working with. I like to believe she does. All in all she did the best she could, but JJS deserved better.

Took me three times to finally finish this piece. Third time’s the charm I guess. I started it the day it finished airing back in 2020 and dropped it for lack of interest, tried it again last year to no avail and finally this year I was able to make it to the last episode. Huh this rating is way too high for what I just watched. The whole drama circles around this epic love story that transcends fate, destiny and time but somehow there was something awkward between Jo Boah and LDW? to me they felt comfortable with each other and they did have chemistry but there was just something awkward about them...I can’t put my finger on what it was but from all the other couples theirs paled in comparison. Now the familiar relationships? All INCREDIBLY WELL DONE...except maybe from Jia with her parents. what was that about? Once they came back they barely appeared again? I think they were shown more when they were missing. Sadly The story looks nice from afar but when you get closer and start poking everything comes terribly undone. But Lee Rang made it all worth it.

I’m not even surprised anymore. this started so so good only to end in disappointment. It had everything to be great but they fumbled the bag terribly. Netflix, what is going on with your dramas? This is not my first drama from them that suddenly after the leads get together everything becomes secondary (if they are not send to oblivion) and the whole thing revolves around the couple with no care for the plot lines that were presented in the first couple of episodes.

…ngl I wanted to see Gil Chae’s ex burn in hell.

I just finished episode three and I had to come on here on a little rant because I am so mad!!! I am livid!!! GilChae is the ONLY REASON they are even alive! She is the reason they have clothes on their backs! they owe everything and anything that they have and will have to her. I lost track of how many times SHE saved THEIR sorry bottoms and nobody…NOBODY could go and save her from that hell?!?! It gets even WORSE because that stupid AF husband not only DOUBTED her but also LEFT HER BEHIND?! Girl I was crying tears of anger for her. I need to get inside my TV to wring some necks and throw some punches. If the situation had been reversed we all know she would've stopped at nothing to save them. GilChae is literally their breadwinner, she was so reliable through it all AND FOR WHAT?!? For everybody to FAIL HER LIKE COWARDS. AHHHH

I may be biased because I’m a Haejin stan but I liked JaeJoon’s story and character arc more than anything else. It was not the most original but Park Haejin acted the heck out of every single scene he was in and it had a satisfactory resolution. So did Lee jonsuk but I had a hard time relating to his story. It’s been agreed that the FL was eaten up by the 2FL and let’s be honest the entire cast. She’s the only flaw in an otherwise well rounded cast. I was entirely frustrated with the 2FL though I kept screaming at the screen RESPÉTATE y GOBIÉRNATE! Because I know some people think she should have been Park Hoon’s endgame but I never saw it character wise. The actors though? Crazy good chemistry. All in all I would watch again only for JaeJoons story.

I have so many things to say about this drama but the most important is: This is not bad at all!!! I feel SBS killed this with the constant delay in releasing the eps especially because it was one ep per week at that. This is the sort of show that needs to keep the tension momentum building but because of the delays, it fizzled out. So do not mind the rating this is a solid 8.5 to 9.0 rating. There were some things that I did not like for example Muchan and Joo Hyun were the perfect tag team but during the second half, they were nowhere near each other. Jiyeon And Haejin had crazy good chemistry. Honestly, this trio were absolutely fire together which is why I don't get why people keep saying this is bad. The writing may not have been ideal in some parts but the actors were ACTORING. I don't know if this is an Amazon show thing, this is only my second time watching one after Island so I may be wrong, but why do they feel the need to rush through the ending so they get to have enough minutes to hint at a -let's be real- highly unlikely second season. Besides
that, I don't think the ending is bad, and -THAT- death didn't feel that unnecessary. Was it FAIR? no. Did I cry? Absolutely YES. Did that person deserve better? OF COURSE. But I think that the main theme of this show was injustice and SADLY we got that right to the bitter end. And I like that because it made us feel exactly as Kwon Seok Joo: WRONGED!

I'm on ep 11 and honestly, I don’t see the chemistry between Dr Oh and Dr Park. I mean if anything it looks very one-sided to me, so much that it’s making me pull my hair and scream at Dr. Oh: “GIRL VALUE YOURSELF THIS MAN HAS CERO INTEREST IN YOU, HE ONLY HAS EYES FOR ONE WOMAN”! There WERE some moments in the beginning that I thought MAYBE Dr Oh was the endgame, but then Dr. Han appeared and it became PRETTY clear to me that ship had sailed and it went down the drain. She's running around for him, calling him, defending him from HER boyfriend and he barely pays attention to her. Also, I ADORE Park Haejin but his character needs a LOT of improvement if she ends up going back to him. That extremely handsome face won't be enough. I need to add, that Dr Park devil may care attitude is sometimes a little TOO reckless, anybody else without plot armor would've been fired by now.

I'm on the last episode of The Killing Vote and I don’t wanna finish it because then I will have to wait I don’t know how long until PHJ's next project 🥲. I hope he’ll do a good sageuk next! But no matter what I’m already anxiously awaiting his next project!!

I’m going to think of the what-ifs if I want to. Why can’t I? I haven’t even finished this I’m on ep14 but this is way too camp and all over the place. Yes, it’s bad but the cast can do so much with that cursed script. That’s the thing about these Netflix dramas lately, all about known faces, good cinematography, and budged only to have the worst script and plot possible. So yes I will imagine what I want to make it worth my time. I'm not even a fan of the “villain” actor but his backstory is more fleshed out than the ML’s! Of course, people are going to side with him. If you want to blame someone blame the scriptwriters and director.

Ugh, I don’t hate Hee Shik but can you imagine if they had taken the Shi O route? IMAGINE less on the grandma and mother and Maybe something along the lines of while he was developing that drug he came across a family with powers similar to what the lab was trying to recreate and then met her. She agrees to help him get out of that world that he was forced to join and protects him like nobody ever did!!!!. CAN YOU IMAGINE? WE COULD’VE HAD IT ALL?!? More depth, more shades of gray, and more chemistry(not that I necessarily think she has no chemistry with Heeshik but I feel their chemistry is cute while her chemistry with Shi O would be more complex?)

Finally finished this. Personally, I did not feel the chemistry between the leads (I'm guessing because of the age gap -of the actors-) but they did have good communication skills. The story was too bland, there was no real tension to carry this story. There were some nice subplots thrown in there with some of the patients and that first-year doctor but the main plot was meh. The teacher/student was a little weird and it stayed in the back of my mind every time they were together. Otherwise, the acting was good and I guess it was fine. Despite the ratings I had big expectations but this drama is not a boom but a whisper. Not bad but not what I expected based on the first eps.

Wait nooo! I just finished ep 3 and came here to comment how much I love this but Twitter and the comments here keep saying that the ending is bad?!? TT whyyyy! It's really good so far. God, I'm tired of 2023 dramas disappointing me. I want to cry. I will finish this though because Park HaeJin is looking scrumptious as always, and the acting of the leads is great so far.

Uh. This is weird and not necessarily because of the age gap, though that’s weird in itself, but okay, I'll take the bait. BUT the fact that HE was HER teacher. So he was in a very delicate position of power over her when he developed feelings for her. Imagine a former high school teacher that you haven't seen in years and the first thing that comes out of his mouth is to ask if you got married/have a boyfriend. No hello, not anything else. Don't tell me it doesn't feel weird especially because you know he's not asking only to catch up but because he has a different personal interest. And YES nothing “physical” happened between them when she was a teenager. But she was a troubled teenager who lacked attention and love and he was somebody that she looked up to and admired, how can he come back and say without an ounce of hesitation or shame that he's glad she hasn't had a relationship and that he likes her (and it is hinted that he already did as her teacher). Teachers in school are supposed to be mentors and guides for kids, especially for children like her who lack a proper home. And NOW he ALSO wants to be her mentor in the hospital? GIRL. So to me, all of this feels a little (a lot) icky. Kinda wish she would get together with Dr. YoonDo though I know that's not going to happen. I'm on ep 5 and I wanna keep watching because outside of the power dynamics between the leads, everything else is exactly what I enjoy in a drama, they don't make dramas like that anymore. But I don't know if I'm going to be able to push through and tolerate this main couple.
