The camera work/direction is a bit amateurish and the story is lacking. If you think of it as a school project, though, it's not too bad. The actors seem inexperienced, but have potential. I'm at least interested enough to watch the rest of it.

This was cute and entertaining with good character development and interesting side characters. Hye Jin went from really unlikable to a decent human being. I think the connections between the past and present was a nice touch. It would have been more interesting if Chief Hong and Director Ji had been a couple; they had the best chemistry. As it was, I give it a solid 7/10.

I almost didn't watch this because of the comments and reviews, but I'm glad that I did! This was a refreshing bit of fluff without toxic drama and confusion. There wasn't much conflict to get through, but it didn't feel contrived either. The story unfolded naturally and there was a sweet chemistry between the characters. This was about two well balanced people getting together.

I like the idea of this series, but the writing was pretty weak. The actors did a good job in making me at least feel attached to the characters with the exception of Mon. I don't know if his portrayal was the actor's fault or the director's fault, but everything to do with Mon was cringy. This is something to watch at 1.5x speed when you're just killing a bit of time here and there and do not want to dive into a good drama that might tempt you to marathon.

I'm wondering that too. I think destiny will play out and Thanu and Phai will live out those premonitions that they had, though Phai deserves someone who chooses him, so I hope not. Wayu and Pha had such a close bond at the end of 2 Moons, so I feel like Wayu could still go back to Pha if the reason for him leaving is good enough. However, the writing has not been the greatest so I guess any nonsense can happen and we'll have to just accept it.

If you still want recommendations, I have a list here: https://kisskh.at/list/389r6xA4
You've probably already watched all of them, but I plan to add any good ones I come across. If you have any favorites not on the list, let me know.

I think Sandee caused the misunderstanding between Pok and Tong because he thought they were complicit in switching his grade with Pok's. Once he found out it was only Tong's doing, he seemed to have dropped the matter.

Sandee knows that Phai loves Thanu and believes in their destiny, so he wants to help them be together by sabotaging Wayu and Thanu's relationship. He thinks he's setting things right even though he's ignoring Phai's decision to let Thanu go. That's also why he pushed Phai into Thanu before Wayu could choose Thanu in the lineup.

It's so annoying that they shot it that way. If you watch 2 Moons (I don't know why it doesn't show up under "Related Content") you can see how Pha and Wayu got together.

I'm rooting for a Sandee/Phai happy ending. Maybe they can have a psychic connection too and recall their past lives as Mok and Bay from The Moment.

The whole flashback/flashforward phenomenon that Thanu has with Wayu AND Phai irks me. The first time Thanu laid eyes on Phai, he was so moved, he memorized his face to the point where he could draw him. Then they have that psychic connection which is a contrived way to form a bond between them. Why pull a trick like that if Thanu is just going to choose Wayu? And to justify it, he has a shared vision with him too where we get another contrived connection that implies Wayu should have been with him all along and it was a mistake that Pha had gotten together with Wayu at all. Totally disregarding the past that Pha and Wayu had shared in 2 Moons and Pha's memories of him in high school.

And while I'm ranting, the Tong/Pok situation came out of left field. I was so confused as to who these people were and why I should care. I'm still not sure what exactly their situation is. Apparently, Tong switched a grade between Sandee and Pok so that Pok could get into university? That seems unrealistic for a number of reasons. But let's just go with it. Does that mean Tong liked Pok, but then when he thought Pok was blackmailing him decided not to confront him, but have him beaten up before a competition? I thought Pok would lose some kind of scholarship or something, but no, that competition didn't matter at all so I shouldn't have bothered caring. Then Tong is nice to Pok, but the next time we see them, they're snarling at each other. If I were Pok, I'd demand to know why I got beaten up. But he's just like, "Okay, now you have to live with me." What? I don't mind the Tong/Pok pairing, but it really seems like a middle school fantasy.

As for Sandee and his "making things right", it's just confusing. I can understand why he created the misunderstanding between Pok and Tong because he thought they were both complicit and it involved him. But what is the point of sliding the drawing of Phai to Wayu? He didn't respect Phai's decision at all.

I'm just annoyed that I'll have to watch the second season just to see why the heck Pha left Wayu in the first place, which he would never do. I have a feeling the reason is not going to be a good one.

The writing was pretty bad in this one. It felt like a big slap in the face to its parent story. Fundamental parts of the plot were just so unrealistic and were never justified or addressed because we're supposed to wait until the next season for resolution. Other parts seemed so contrived or didn't make sense. Mark (why did they change his name??) and Kit had decent development, but at times were so cringy it was hard to watch. I ended up getting through the series only by watching at 1.5x speed.

I really wanted to like this drama, but the writing and editing were so mediocre. Also, I don't think that Jom is ready the be the main lead. Any of the other supporting actors would have made a better Jin. The side characters were under-utilized. There were hints of something interesting to come for them, but nothing was developed. Maybe that was the production's strategy to generate interest for a second season, but it just added to my disappointment. It was entertaining enough to watch if you have nothing else to do and want something light to pass the time.

You're right! Thanks for posting. I had watched it maybe a month or so ago and wondered if there was any significance to that couple. I didn't remember their faces so I wouldn't have put two and two together. What a cool connection!

I have to say, I really, really hate the ending. It was so nice seeing these characters grow and develop. Why push us off a cliff at the end? Just so all our happy, positive feelings can be devastated by a nuclear bomb for no clear reason? I literally had a panic attack during the last episode followed by hard ugly crying. I'm going to have to find something light-hearted to watch now to try to shake off the depression I'm left with. Do I rate this high because it was written and acted so well, including the trauma that ripped me apart? Or do I rate it low because the ending was emotional violence on my soul?

EDIT: Here's a Band-Aid. Thank you to the person who posted it. https://minmoyu.tumblr.com/post/189843117773/eng-history3-make-our-days-count-if

Why, just why? The character development was exceptionally good, I was fully invested. But then the ending did not match the tone of the rest of the drama. I don't know how to rate it because of this.

I think I missed something. In the last episode when the teacher comes into the hallway and feet approach, then he calls out Lee Tae Sung. What was the meaning of this? Who is Tae Sung?

LOL! You literally made me laugh so hard. I'm crying now. :D

Thankfully I went in with low expectations and my heart was healed for Tin. It's too bad about the lack of chemistry, but I think Mean carried all the scenes well enough for me to enjoy the series. And I like how Tul's issues were addressed. The rest of it, though, was skippable.

This was actually better than I thought it'd be. Tin and Can's relationship developed well. I liked how Tul and his issues were handled. Ae's storyline seemed pointless, though. The time should have been spent on Techno and Kla since their scenes were repetitive and without substance. But this drama did fix the heartache I felt for Tin in Season 1, so I think it was worth watching.

The writing and editing are awkward at times, but overall, the characters are great and the story is compelling.

However, there are some really weird things that just have me questioning whether something was lost in the translation.

#1. Is the guy they refer to as their teacher a student teacher or is he supposed to be an adult? The fact that he's involved with Tern and is willing to have threesomes with partners of dubious age is really strange. Also, he should have been totally freaked out to see Frame in the hotel room.

#2. What the heck is going on between Wit and Yok's mother? The whole situation makes no sense and is frankly disturbing.

#3. Why is it okay for Fuse to be cheating, but not Jean? Fuse only feels bad towards Tee, but not guilty towards Jean when he cheats on her. That should clue him in to who he wants to be with, but nooo. His confusion goes on for far too long.

#4. That tattoo removing scene was so out of the blue. I didn't even know that Frame had the tattoo in the first place.

#5. Was there a reason for Ess and Wit both calling Christina from the beach? It's just thrown in there as an implication with no context. But Wit rejected Lilly because he likes Yok's mom, so... what the heck?

This drama had so much potential and completely failed to live up to it. To say that the writing was bad is to admit that there was enough writing to criticize. There was no story to unfold. Scenes were set up for the actors to perform the same tropes repeatedly in such a contrived manner, relationships were sweetened without much cause, and it made both cute and steamy moments feel meaningless and often cringeworthy. The actors did a good job, though it's really hard to think of Saifah as Zon's senior because he looks so much younger (which the actor is). So even though I like this couple, they struck a discordant note. Ugh. I'm just really sad that there was no substance to this drama since it could have been meaningful and clever based on the premise and characters.
