This is a veeeery light hearted drama the characters are over the top, it really tries very hard to be like the manga. But its very entertaining and you can watch it without giving it any thought. If you have free time definitely check it out.
Does anyone else think they contradict they "time traveling premise" in the last episodes? Because if…
Thank you for answering my question, and it does makes the experience of post watching more interesting when having someone to discuss about it. I hope they make a Season 2 and maybe there they could explain how the walkie-talkie works (fingers crossed)

Thank you for your explanation and it makes senses. But in my opinion they could retain the old memories because they directly didn't involve them, like when Hae Young remembered the victim that died on the train tracks but that JH saved. For me it sounds reasonable they could remember something that wasn't involve with them directly, because it didn't affect their past nor had any involvement with them. But I can not believe HY could retain his memory if the event that made all this happen disappears in the first place (he finding the radio). Maybe I'm just thinking this "time traveling" too much, but I needed it to let it out of my system :)
It started well but then it lost intensity and then dragged for too long. There wasn't much story to make 16 episodes…
Everybody loves this drama but I agree with you I couldn't finish it, it kind of bother me and I just had to stop watching it. I didn't like the direction it was taking specially with the romance. Because Oh hae young really seem to love his ex-fiancée so It was kind of unbelievable that she fall for Do Kyeong and that even though she found out the fiancée left her for her own good and he went ot jail and all that she couldn't care less about it.

Because if Jae Han didn't die on that hill, then anything that happened to Hae Yeong could have happened. Jae Han resolved the kidnap case in his time therefore Hae Young never get to go to the police station and found the radio, and at the end they clearly say Hae Young never had the radio, so then he never had the transmissions with JH so he never knew about him. Also if he had a happy childhood (as happy as it could be withouth his hyung) the why did he became a police? he didn't have a reason. And I could continue with many things, but essentially the drama told us as its premise that changing the past DO had effect on the present and will change it. So JH surviving the attack on the hill had to have many effects on the present specially with his and HY relationship. I'm still trying to figure this out.
This is a cute lovely drama. I think is clear that is based on a shoujo manga, because it has this light mood to it. I think Shunin is a strong character and I do understand why Shibata fell in love with him. But at one point I was a kind of cheering for Mogami-kun, I think he was really honest with his feelings for her. And his proposing scene brought tears to my eyes. I think it was the most honest and kind propose I've ever seen in a drama.
I totally agree with you.
Poin1: I'm still wondering when Black fall in love with Swan and for the love of god I can not find the moment, thus I didn't get any part of the romance, sometimes I fast forwarded it.
Point4: There was really no point in the 5 years jump, might as well had been 1 and made no difference what so ever.
Point 5: This was a 16 episode drama tops! 20 episodes were to much.
Point6: What's up with the evil laugh it was creepy and ridiculous and it didn't fit the character at all.
Point7: I thought I was the only one bothered by not following the timeline of the jail imprisonment. For Woo Jin’s dad he was supposed to get 2 years, but we saw when Woo Jin went to receive him, but at that time teacher Baek and Sung Jae where about to enter prison, so what, their trial lasted 2 years?? It doesn’t make any sense to me.
So many things to say about this drama and not in a good way. And I just have to let all out because it really is bothering me and I think I have to let it out of my system, after all I did painfully watched all the 20 episodes (by the way the story could have been tolled perfectly in 16 episodes)
This drama was such a disappointment, because when they said it was a Conde de Mote Cristo kind of story, I was hopping this to be some awesome revenge drama, but instead we got blah! Also when they said they’ll have a “marriage contract” kind of relationship I got excited because I’m such a fan of those dramas. I thought that they’ll have to fake the marriage in order for Black to get his revenge or fake his identity or something like that but that it will help in his revenge plan. But until now I’m wondering where is the fake marriage?? It is suppose to be the one at the beginning in the island for about 2 episodes, where the only one that knew about it was the old lady that stole their hens???
This last episode was such a nightmare for me for me it was like a 2hour episode!! It was so slow and pointless. That last escape of Teacher Baek, was just meaningless and only for the sake for filling time of the episode because they clearly had no more plot.
I don’t get why they had to fake Swan’s death in order to get teacher Baek in jail. Didn’t they finally get the recording they were searching for about the entire drama that was supposed to be the decisive evidence that will prove he is a murderers and imprison him for life?? If at the end they had to fake evidence for taking him down, then what was the purpose of searching for the real evidence? Couldn’t they manufacture the evidence from the beginning??
(I do understand why Sung Jae didn’t leave the original recording on the pen to make him believe he got what he wanted, and that’s because Sung Jae didn’t know who was going to get the pen and if anyone but teacher Baek got the pen then he’ll be screwed that’s why he only leave that phrase, because it was only a decoy)
Also I don’t know if it’s just me but I don’t get the timeline of the jail imprisonment. For Woo Jin’s dad he was supposed to get 2 years, but we saw when Woo Jin went to receive him, but at that time teacher Baek and Sung Jae where about to enter prison, so what, their trial lasted 2 years?? It doesn’t make any sense to me.
Other thing I don’t get is how was Swan able to go to Thailand and back to Korea when she was supposed to be death, did she used a fake passport like in the old days??
Finally I have to say that the Kang Woo was the best thing in this drama, his acting was great and his character was the only one that made sense through out the drama. So thank you Kang Woo for giving your all in this drama, you were the ray of light in this darkness of drama.
This drama was not what I was expecting, until now I keep asking where is the romance in here. I can not for the love of god understand why Hye Rim forgave Soo Hyun for the experiment. She gave him many opportunities to quit the experiment, to stop it but every time he made the choice to keep his experiment. It was always his experiment over her. And at the end they make it look as if Hye Rim was the bad one for leaving him when he found out he never stopped experimenting with her. This was a very weird drama and I'll definitely never watch it again!
I know a drama is a fictional story, but it HAS to be believable. Majo Saiban isn't believable at all, it completely fails as a suspense genre. Several points that bother me were:
•The idea of the lay judges interacting with the defendant's lawyer and family and with the very own defendant is completely ridiculous!!!!
•One can't understand why Toma's character takes the decision not to go to the police if he has nothing to lose. (The other lay judges were threatened by uncovering dangerous secrets to them that nobody knows about them, so you can understand why they didn't risk going to the police)
•Why Toma's character was so stupid, it wasn't that he was nice or generous, for me it was stupidity. (Gomene Toma)
•The fact that the evil organization moving the strings of everything betraying the witch, makes Toma think she may be innocent. Isn't that ridiculous, the very fact that she hired that organization from the beginning is proof she is capable of doing shady things!!!!
•Tooru being all nice with his girlfriend even though she fake a kidnap and almost kill him. What she needed was mental help she was So crazy!!!
I love how the drama did not end with a funeral scene :_) Yes, we all know she'll die eventually, but at least…
You know I was thinking the same thing and I had to conclude that he learned his lesson from before when his dad cancelled his credit cards, so I think that before leaving the company and giving his resignation letter he prepared by withdrawing some money from his account or something like that. And he said that he was working from home as a financial advisor .
Dammit I told myself I wouldn't cry but the tears leaked. This drama was really heartwarming. And I loved the…
I'm also quite happy with the way they ended the drama, because I was very afraid that we had to see Hye Soo dying and leaving her loved ones behind. So this kind of ending made us had hope that they lived as happy as they could until the very end.
Because if Jae Han didn't die on that hill, then anything that happened to Hae Yeong could have happened.
