Awesome ! I have never laughed that much when watching a kdrama and also cried a few time but it was hilarious ! It's not an historical drama btw, the historical context just serves the scenario and is used for time-based funny situations. The FL delivers a stunning performance, helped by the very good plot of course. I was not a big fan of the ML here but it was ok. I saw comments from people finding it boring so, as often, it's a matter of taste. Just try it and if you don't like the first episode, probably you should drop it indeed. For me it was a solid 9.5. And it looks like Netflix changed its mind recently not dropping it mid-February as it was previously stated.

Just curious, why it was controversial ? In Korea only ? For me, it's a masterpiece of humour, I never laughed that much while watching TV !

Well it looks like Netflix changed its mind it does not seem to be advertised as leaving soon any more !

Humour absurde, quiproquos, répartie, décalage... moi ça m'a bcp fait rire mais on aime ou on n'aime pas.

The only drama where you have a kiss just after 10 minutes 😀

Please don't shoot but I waited until all episodes are available and according to reviews I had a lot of expectations about this drama. I have only watched 2 episodes and I'm totally disappointed by the inconsistencies in the plot and the acting. Not that I'm afraid of unreal or strange things to set up the story (you have demons everywhere or a son traveling in the past to meet his father at his age 😆) but here nothing seems ok to me like this selective mutism (ok I know it's a real thing but it does not plug in here) ... but it's hard to explain my feelings. There was so much potential in the story but it's a mess so far in my opinion. Will continue anyway, I'm almost never dropping dramas generally !

I will probably get roasted for my comment but this season is a total crap compared to season 1 for me 😞 It's just... empty ! I had to rewatch last episode of season 1 just to remember the end after watching season 2 and it just added arguments to my bad feelings regarding season 2. With 6/10 this is my worst notation of all kdramas I have watched so far. And one might say that the cast is great, it doesn't make a good show.

And does it make it a good series ??? This season is absolutely boring...

This drama is really great ! It's not about time travel, it's not about romance, it's about family and friendship. And despite mixing both is not easy, this series did it perfectly!

And then you understand the title has a deep meaning about life, difficulties and happiness...

By the way, just noticed that Lee Jong Suk, ML in W is appearing (briefly) in Weightlifting fairy KBJ 😀

Done for weightlifting fairy kbj just before (not extraordinary imo), now just 4 épisodes left for W, should be completed before xmas hopefully 😀

Leaving on the 25th of December here in Belgium. In a hurry to watch it 😀

Just at the end of episode 5 as well and it's soooo sad 😩. Acting of Kim You Jung is really incredible !

Exactly how I would comment it. Cute and refreshing but clearly not a masterpiece so a bit surprise with the 8.8 as well. But if people love it that much, I'm fine wit it 😀

Oh thanks, currently at episode 7 so it will come or I missed it !

Is there a symbolic meaning for the title ? Got some proposals from chatgpt but would like to have opinions here !

Yes you are right, thanks for clarifying this !

This drama is a real gem. It's a profound reflection about life, death, love, fate, duality of things... If you really dive into it, it will just hit you hard and make you cry. But it's not a dark drama, you need to think twice about it to feel positive emotions and comfort. And a bit of humour as well to lower the tension. I was a bit afraid to watch as I'm not a fan of supernatural stories but it's just for the scenario to be put in place. I agree with other comments about the side stories and love triangle that are completely useless. I wish the drama would have fully concentrated on the main story making it even more deep but well, after watching about 10 kdramas now, it seems like a recurring situation. And finally the acting of Park Bo Young that I discovered here for the first time was awesome ! So if you are about philosophy and deep thinking go for it but it's not Love Next Door or Lovely runner...

Reading through the comments it looks like LND you basically like it or find it average. I'm part of the second group. The first 4 episodes were pretty boring as well as the last 2 ones. The scenario and dialogues are a bit boring without much depth. And it's not just because it's slow pace. My liberation notes is also slow pace for instance but there is emotion in the screenplay and the actors made you feel this. So definitely average for me and there is no hate at all in this comment, just my feelings !
