My last 10/10 was back in May with the incredible “Our Unwritten Seoul.” I had to wait four months before giving another 10/10. I literally can't believe they listened to me. It's crazy. I asked for it for the finale. - Death of the uncle, death of Lady Kang - Ji Yeong and the King reunite + kiss scene - Gil Geum in the future - Doyoung's OST at the end.
It literally had everything, so I had to give it a 10/10. Doyoung's OST is definitely my top 2025. 😀
We can talk about the character Kang Mok Ju played by (Kang Han Na). Her acting is literally a masterpiece; I got goosebumps because she played so well. Honestly, I loved her role as the villain here, and bravo to her.
The only negative points here are clearly: - The revolt was far too short, barely half an episode. It would have been much better to have the revolt in episodes 9-10, when the uncle is enjoying being king and the ML and FL are in difficult situations. Here, the FL was clearly very lucky, very clearly. All of Lady Kang's scheming literally didn't work, and her character never had a moment of glory. - The second point is the king who comes from the future and arrives very clearly without any problems and is literally not shocked by time travel, as if he had lived in the future his whole life, but I think that was just to give them a happy ending.
For me, it's definitely the opposite. The bus company storyline was a breath of fresh air in K-dramas, and frankly, it brought something new to the table. Now I'm just afraid we'll get a 2025-style K-drama set in 1989. Do you see what I mean? Basically, I'm so afraid of scenes like “Let's go eat at the noodle restaurant.” We all have our jobs, we meet up, we drink. In short, all the stuff we see in 2025 dramas. The bus plot is going to be literally sidelined 😂
I want to know why did the writers do this to Hae Ja. What does it bring to the story? There were million ways…
One thing that is definitely certain here is that Hae Ja will certainly not be returning to the drama. Her accident clearly marks her departure, and as you said, “Why her?” The screenwriter said that he was going to see a scene before the time jump that will definitely change the fate of the three characters. We know that it's clearly the pen scene and not Hae Ja's, so why this plot for her?
Friday is going to be crazy, I can't wait, I've been waiting for this my whole life. My heart is clearly about to burst, and it's likely to be even stronger on Thursday night. One thing is certain: on Friday, I'll watch all 12 episodes, even if it means losing sleep. The drama airs in the morning where I live, which bothers me a little because it's clearly a K-drama to watch at night. Worst case scenario, I'll close the blinds and that'll do the trick, lol.
Honestly, congratulations to Lee Chaemin. Because to go from “Crushology 101,” which was terrible, to this magnificent K-drama in the same year with less than a month of preparation is just crazy. He must have gone crazy when he arrived on set. I'm sure he compared it to Crushology 101. 😂😂😂 The two K-dramas are like night and day.
In reality, the age gap is literally invisible here because Yoona looks extremely young for her age and Lee Chaemin could pass for someone in his late twenties; he definitely has the vibe of a mature guy. That's why his chemistry with RJE never really worked in their K-dramas.
It's crazy how many kissing scenes Lee Chaemin had here, even though romance is clearly not the main plot, whereas in his latest drama “Crushology 101,” a romance-centered drama, he only had one kiss with RJE. It's as if the actors/actresses didn't want to kiss.
Am I the only one who’s definitively bored by this K-drama? There are way too many characters who don’t get enough screen time, and others who get way too much. I’m sorry, but 'Ma Sang Cheol' is clearly one of the best characters here. He’s funny, he plays well, he brings freshness, but it’s an insult—he gets like 2 minutes of screen time per episode. Jae Pil is unbearable, and Heo Nam Jun clearly doesn’t fit this role. It’s a pain to watch him, honestly I would’ve preferred a friendship storyline rather than this love triangle that could end up with no one.
I'm convinced that the second part will be less interesting than the first. Generally, when there are jumps in time, it never works. It reminds me of “Family By Choice.” The first part, with the child and student at school, was just perfect, but the adult part, with the jump in time, was really boring. I'm afraid it will be the same here.
I just finished the last episode and it's literally a 10/10. They listened to me from start to finish. I said I wanted to see: - The death of the uncle, the death of Lady Kang - The kiss scene between the King and Ji Yeong - Doyoung's OST at the end.
They listened to everything I said, and I'm preparing my review of the K-drama!
