Terrific cast, weak script.

I am still swept away by this series and its cast, director, and writer. It’s a classic in KDrama for a very good reason: it is superb on all levels.

Superb cast and director foiled by the bizarre, constantly shifting timelines. The practice is so intrusive and pointless that it turned me off the storyline. I love the main leads, but they were both wasted by a mediocre script and the erratic scene shifts. And the chemistry between them is so good that the missed opportunities to develop the relationship are frustrating. The series does have good moments with scenes that are alternately touching, scary, and then sweet or even funny. But it just seemed to collapse. Verdict: it’s good, and I’m glad I watched it, but it also disappointed me—by kdrama’s high standards.

Beautiful, brilliant, veteran actress for so many decades and still blessing us with your talent. Thank you so much Dame Kim Young Ok

The cast is good and works hard, producing some effective scenes in the film. But both the writing and the direction are erratic and frequently just poorly executed. This film doesn’t fully measure up to Korean movie standards; the first with Son Ye Jin and Kim Nam Gil is far superior in both conception and execution.

Beautiful, graceful, beloved actress.

To people coming on MDL making comments about actors’ ages: They are and will always be beautiful no matter what age, and 40 is the prime of life.

Thanks for the tips about getting a better picture posted. But my suggestion was rather emphatically rejected (their word), so I won’t bother again.

Thank you so much for the blessings of your beautiful scripts.

I have never loved public figures the way I love these two brilliant, beautiful people. Nor have I ever had a better time than watching the series with KDrama fans on MDL when it first aired. Every week was so much fun to share together. They gave us a gift, and the news today is bliss. Best wishes for love and joy all their lives: our precious BinJin Couple. And warm thanks again to superb writer, Park Ji Eun. Re-Watching Cloy this week to celebrate. ❤️🌹🎶

Viki charging to rent it even if we pay prime rate. Not gonna happen.

Though I like both leads, I dropped after 3 eps. For me, it is meandering, slow, and pointless. I don’t have time for that.

The cast of course is wonderful; the writing and direction are not. Any time a series we’ve spent time on leaves more questions than answers, after that time spent, it’s a problem. This is a visually appealing film that for me is also annoying and then forgettable.

Beautiful and gifted actress. Always enjoy her in the cast.

Always the same character. No range and no depth; the only thing that changes is the costume. I fast forward through her scenes because I can’t stand the screeching and slapping. She’s probably laughing to the bank, but she’s doing it typecast forever. And that makes me feel bad: why let your untested talent go to such horrid waste.

Classy and beautiful, she has built such a wonderful career for almost 30 years. I’m guessing she must be the go-to professional that casting directors think of first.

I love the cast and most of the series. Some scenes are delightfully hilarious, others charming or deeply moving. I think if it had been tightened and trimmed into 16 eps, with a less hurried writer, the series would have been even better. Still, the story and characters are strong, and the themes of feminism, loyalty, protectiveness, devotion, and love are explored tenderly. For me, the power of love that “sees” and embraces the beloved, no matter the shifts and even threats, is the series’ greatest theme.—told with also a clearly feminist intent that “yes, she can.” I give it a thumbs up for the actors’ gifted performances in telling their characters’ stories.

The cast is superb on so many levels in both character and plot development. It’s a very complicated time slip story that for the most part is riveting, but at times the shifts and outcomes aren’t quite thorough, leaving some plot holes especially in the closest of the relationships. But still strongly recommended for the outstanding cast and excellent time shift concept as detective story. I enjoyed it very much.

Strong actors, weak plot. The actors are all spot on in each character, but the plot is both derivative and repetitive. And the ending feels tacked on. The series is okay, but definitely not the best of KDrama.
