What could have been

I wished I could've liked this more than I did. It had great potential but somehow it missed it.

I like a good time travel drama, the kind where the time travel is at the beginning and then again at the end if the character has to go back to his or her own time. Which is what I thought this drama would be. She would go back in time to save him, they'd fall in love, she would stop him from dying, they'd come back to the present and tada happily ever after.

Unfortunately, that is not what I got. There was a lot of back and forth, back and forth, she'd save him from dying one way and then lo and behold he'd die a whole new way.

The FL was way too irritating. She'd go from not wanting to be away from him so she could protect him to pushing him away to protect him. Honestly, it got old in a hurry.

I felt so sorry for Ryu Seon Jae. She broke his heart over and over again. At no time did she deserve him.

Although the ending was a happy one, for me it was still a bitter pill to swallow after all she had put him through.

The only reason to watch this is if you're a fan of Byeon Woo Seok (he is perfect as Ryu Seon Jae), otherwise I'd give it a pass.
