Still a 10 but some things could have been explored a bit more
I love this drama and the story. My rewatch value is 7.5 just because of the time travel. That suspense won’t hit the same the 2nd time around for me. But I definitely recommend watching the series if you haven’t already!People are saying it’s a star falling in love with a regular person but that’s not true. ML has been in love with FL since the beginning. But the story showed that sometimes no matter how your try to change a situation, the person may remain the same (Leads being in love, the murderer being a murderer)
I what I think should have been explored more was:
1. Living with disabilities - FL was able to change her fate but a lot of disable people can’t and while it was an important message in the beginning for everyone not to give up hope no matter the circumstances; I would have loved to have seen the FL interact with someone who’s disable. Maybe hire them as one of her staff members on the short film project and show that even though this person is disable they still deserve work and treatment and not how she was discriminated against for being in a wheelchair at the beginning which caused her not to get the job initially. Even go as far as having ML who’s rich ensure the place where she worked or other places in the city had for example Elevators or Ramps for easy wheelchair access. It seems like a lot but disable people go through a lot and as FL would have had those struggles it would have been nice for them to touch on that a bit more in their own way, even if it be a few minutes of the last episode.
2. Granny’s knowledge - I don’t know about you guys but it was clear to me after a while that the grandma was aware that Sol had been time traveling with the watch. The end also made it seem as though she knew Sun Jae from a past life (I could be reaching). But nevertheless, the fact that she threw the watch into the river at the end means she knows it’s no longer needed. I would have liked her connection to the time traveling to be explained a bit more.
Overall, I still give this series a 10. The story was heart pulling and tear jerking. It showed the sacrifice of Sol who just wanted what was best for the person she loves even if that meant staying away in order to save his life. And it showed the other side pertaining to Sun Jae where it doesn’t matter what happens to him because why live if I don’t have love? A lot of complex decisions were made that always affect everyone around them. Great romance, thriller, time travel and goofy series.

Realistic but Comforting
I appreciate the realness of this drama. The romance took a while to develop in my opinion but that’s how real life is sometimes. You take the time to get to know someone, see their faults and learn to accept your own.A drama filled with understanding differing lifestyles and realizing that all that glitters isn’t gold. And people can fall in love even if they are from different social statuses.
I also appreciate the maturity level. It’s not just child like adults ignoring each other. Misunderstandings are usually cleared up with some sort of good communication.
Also like the attention the writers placed on persons who are autistic.
I think if you’re looking for a slower paced drama/love story with a few of life’s bumps along the way, this one is for you. Overall happy ending.

Perfect Slice of Life
I didn’t think I’d enjoy this show as much as I did. Even though their lives are centered around being doctors (who have a band lol), it didn’t take away from their individual stories.There’s a wonderful balance of comedy, relationships, tragedy, home life, work life and of course friendship.
Only thing I’d say is I’d love to see more screen time of them doing covers in the band. I loved the selection of songs they covered. Hopefully, season 2 covers that!
Very relatable, eye opening, tear jerking, but heart warming series. 10 out of 10 recommend <3

Poor Ending
What I really loved about this drama was the acting & the storyline until the final 2 episodes. The plot itself is warm and relaxing, filled with slapstick comedy and all of the cutesy scenes you’d want in a drama. The Employer/Employee relationship trope was good as well.I didn’t appreciate the final 2 episodes. (SPOILER ALERT)
Not only did they introduce FL’s father as the cause of ML’s past money issues (which I didn’t have an issue with) - but they made it the cause of their 3 year break up because FL was what? Too embarrassed? Only to reunite FL & ML after 3 years as if nothing happened? And the Dad has like what? 5 minutes screen time through the last episode if so much!
It was unnecessary to me for them to break up for that stupid reason especially since ML didn’t hold a grudge against the Dad.
Instead of turning a people pleasing FL lead into someone who makes wise decisions, they turned her into a coward who makes poor ones.
If it weren’t for the last episode, this drama could have easily been in my top 10.

Double Standards
I tolerated the behavior in Season 1 (which I gave a 10 because it was fresh and new to me) but I can’t stand the fact that Yumi is soooo picky with men! She has some valid reasons for breaking up in the past but her issues with Babi were totally unfair especially since she didn’t even talk them out with him. No one is perfect. I know it’s essentially her story but she’s very stubborn and has her ways about her. I dropped it because I feel like Babi didn’t get a fair chance especially since he was the most caring of her bfs. I don’t wanna waste my time.Was this review helpful to you?
