Well then. Was rooting for 2 couples-one got killed off and the other's story was just abandoned without a thought. They had a promising angsty underlying chemistry too. Sigh. Just my luck.
Absolutely loved it. Didn't like the leads' acting at first but then got used to them around the 5th-6th eps and found that they did some of the scenes really good justice too. Pretty perfect drama without being overly pretentious (which some dramas of this genre fall trap to) with just right the right amount of tenderness, realism and understated humour. The friendships portrayed were so heartwarming and the best part of the show tbh. Enjoyed the second leads story more, in terms of romantic build-up, but a very enjoyable drama overall nonetheless.
KYK's hair was a tragedy though. Downright tragedy.
I wouldn't have minded the ending if not for all the plot holes it created. Enjoyable watch but only if you suspend all logic. Ride was entertaining for the most part if not a little draggy and repetitive at times.
Ohh yes, I completely forgot that it was the CNY too!One thing that still troubles me a bit is the fact that at…
1. Ah yes!! Can't believe I missed that :D It all makes sense if time is not linear within the cycles.
2. I'm still not too sure about this point though cause the drama mentioned that ownership was never transferred. So even if it was the payment method, it was always under LZW's name (not updated later on)
I know right!! Wish the role had gone to someone with better acting prowess. Shame. Anyway, it was so nice talking to you about the drama! Thanks a bunch.

Hey, thanks so much for responding! :) It's a drama that I keep wanting to talk and analyze, hence all this. Yea.. that was the explanation I finally settled on last night as well. Only explanation that made sense to me. But thinking of these things made me realize that there were 2 other areas where the logic seemingly cracked. Maybe you have thoughts on it to the contrary? 1. The logic of travel in these timelines is that the character falls asleep or enters a lull mode in their present timeline that allows them to go to the past/future (as themselves in their present state of mind). In essence, they have to be incapacitated. Following that logic, shouldn't LZW have been in a vegetative state after the accident for the entirety of time that his soul was in WQS? But he is said to have woken up after 2 weeks.. 2. During the early episodes, it was mentioned that WQS' s phone was registered to LZW and that there was no transference of ownership. This was pivotal info that led HYZ to go searching for answers. But realistically, LZW had already made the decision to fully embrace WQS's life and live as him so why would the phone be registered in LZW's name? Doesn't add up.
I haven't watched Dark so you saying it has a similar theme makes me want to watch it now.
I am really looking forward to the movie version of SOOD. Not so much the K-Version though. I like AHS but his acting is still woody so I have my doubts whether he would be able to deliver. GH did such a good job as LZW-he made that character so endearing and was one of the best parts of the show. The production of the Kdrama would be far superior though, which would be a plus.
This is one of the most perfect and seamless time travel love story that I've ever seen.It stayed consistent to…
Ohh yes, I completely forgot that it was the CNY too! One thing that still troubles me a bit is the fact that at one point they show that CYR was murdered cause of a cut in her abdomen and that MJJ is holding the shard of glass. That adds up to him going to jail over killing her at her request/or just holding the glass after she stabs herself. It's something that he remembers. Later, the scenes play out similarly but she dies by jumping down and he still goes to jail for it. So was the first instance just a red herring to manipulate the viewers or did the events actually play out like that during one of the time jumps? If it's a case of the former, i wish the writers hadn't done it cause it kind of cheapens the quality of the story-that they had to revert to fake scenarios to keep the suspense. The latter doesn't make sense cause up until that point the leads weren't able to change any of the events and nothing points to them doing anything differently that stops MJJ picking up the shard. Any thoughts?
Can someone please let me know if this drama has an actual plot/storyline or if it's just a collection of scenes a la Put Your Head On My Shoulder? The latter scarred me for life with its nothingness.
Loved the drama, almost everything about it, to the point that I even liked Se Joon when I've had an irrational dislike for him since forever. It also made me feel nostalgic over k-dramas from the past. Acting was on point. There were some quite powerful scenes too. Loved the romance build-up as well. Really enjoyed the drama.
If these made for TV short dramas are this good, I might just switch to watching them altogether.
Female lead was slightly off putting especially during ep 1 cause she seemed to be acting unnecessarily childlike, but she became more bearable as the drama progressed. The two leads had undeniable chemistry though.
Kim Seon-ho nailed it. Very nuanced performance.
I didn't fully understand the FL's drawn-out reaction in the 4th ep but all in all, a very enjoyable, fuzzy drama. Simple, realistic and warm.
Forever betrayed by the makers of Before We Get Married that they didn't keep him till the end.
Was rooting for him to get the girl. He was such a cutie in the drama-was one of the highlights for me tbh. Looked forward to his scenes even more than the leads at one point.
This drama had so much promise-from the start up until the middle but then it lost steam and the plot towards the end. The last 2-3 eps were quite meh with unnecessary drama, pointlessly dragged out that did nothing towards plot development.
They should've wrapped it out maybe by the 10th ep and finished it on a high cause up until then it was really good. Forever betrayed that they decided to write off cute puppy Baiyang towards the end too. He was such a highlight for me.

Loved every minute of it.
Just beautiful and real.

Effortless sums it up the best.
It was effortlessly cute, effortlessly real, effortless heart-warming.
Not pretentious at all.
Loved the cast and the story development.
The main actor nailed Ishida Ren's character. The FL started off as annoying but I grew to like her as the story progressed.
A very well done drama.
Was rooting for him to get the girl.

Sweeties, both of them.
