This was an exceptional watch. I’m glad I watched this. Definitely on par, if not better than Signal. I surprisingly loved the story considering Im not a fan of time travel, but the writer did an exceptional job. Stellar story, amazing cast and production.
I was gripping the edge of my seat in the 2/3 of show. Very gripping, but then when the reveal of the serial killer happens, the show moves towards other things: the police and prosecutors playing their own versions of villains. While the story was engaging, the focus does shift from finding the serial killer to ones trying to hide his crimes to protect themselves. We don’t even get to see the killer going to jail for another murder he does. So the emotional buildup lacks the proper payoff too. And by the mid of the drama, I was totally rooting for Si Young to be the misunderstood character but he is just evil, so that was disappointing to say the least. Especially as we get more glimpses of his past and uncover his own traumas. That said, his elder brother doesn’t make any appearance in the current time. Especiallt since he exploited Si Young’s weaknesses and fears. And don’t tell me I was the only one who found Cha Si Young genuinely regretful of his failed friendship with KTJ. They had such a complex relationship. CSY’s buddy summed it up perfectly: You don’t hate Kang Tae Ju but you don’t like him either. Perfectly summed up. P.S.: I could guess by the mid who the serial killer was.
I have watched 4 episodes already but the show isn’t picking up momentum. Considering how many ravings I heard about this show, it doesn’t seem to reflect in the story yet.
Haha, one of the main complaints about this drama was "not having enough politics". The drama is broken…
I didn’t mention hating the FL, nor worshipping the ML. You guys just made it up yourself! I just said I watched the first few episodes, and it was hard to see her doing all the work for the marriage. It was draining to see her try to settle in a foreign land, while catering to the guy and having to deal with the politics of his family. This made it heavy for me, and I find it hard to watch such things. She was smart and intelligent but she shouldn’t have to be doing everything from carrying the relationship to assisting the ML in leadership, on top of trying to protect her family. Woman deserved a breather!

It seemed strong initially but after 6-7 episodes, it’s giving house politics and I don’t care for that one bit. Plus the FL seems to be carrying the baggage of the relationship, catering to the ML, don’t know if I will be able to continue.
