There are good messages about revenge, and if the viewer doesn't mind a really slow drama with stoic barely talking…
I want to add that I agree with you both.
This all boils down to personal taste, as always. Some people will find this drama speaks to them in a way that makes them whole, inspired. The cinematography of this drama tried to make it compelling, and the slow pace also has its strengths.
But for people with my kind of sensibility, this is a very frustrating drama.
You both said it all, and much better than I did. Reading you both brought me a kind of solace for the frustration I was feeling after watching this. In this sense, thank you both.
If I can add anything to future readers, I'll ask them to consider well comments like the ones above. They'll probably save you a ton of frustration, as well as time. With so much good dramas out there to choose from, you'll probably find on the menu a much better one that will suit your tastes.
So I managed through all that awkward staring into nothing , silences and ton of veeery slow walking . It was…
Ditto.
And the Deus ex-machina of the will, 'the I want the house back now I don't want it anymore because I love him but I still have to break up with him just because...'. As you said, exhausting.
For those who like this kind of thing, I'll cheer for them. For me? I feel I wronged myself for not dropping this.
Well, since comments can help other viewers, here's a double take. Consider OPs opinion, and mine, and weigh if this is the kind of thing you like. If yes, you'll definitely enjoy it. It has a happy ending of sorts, if you count happy ending knowing the leads get together in the end by seeing them running into each other for a few seconds. Nicely shot, though.
But if you're like us, just skip this. No harm done, no frustration, no loss. There are far better dramas out there. This is definitely not one of them for the likes of us.
The biggest regret of my life at this point is deciding to watch this drama ongoing. How am i supposed to wait…
I was confused at first too. But looking back, the killer is not attacking Chi Yeol, but rather Haeng Seon, as she was constantly bickering at Chi Yeol for having stolen/broken her brother's phone. From this perspective, the killer wanted to harm her to protect Chi Yeol.
Her lack of understanding the other side and her feelings that only she as a stay-at-home mother with 1 child…
You make good points about FL's past attitude and how hers was very different from ML's former attitude. I want to praise your insights, as they allow me to have a greater understanding of the drama they faced as a couple.
I have a different take from yours, but not that much. To me, the biggest problem in their relationship was, as it is with most couples both in and out of dramaworld, lack of communication. Both assumed a lot of things, and kept acting whatever way they felt was right without checking with the other how they were feeling and what they were needing.
At a certain point in the drama I felt that I would rather prefer this to be a story of new beginnings, mostly because I felt annoyed with the dismissive attitude from the ML. He was careless with his wife, dismissive of her and her needs, without properly acknowledging her inner struggles and pains. And yes, she was also at fault here, but she was not disrespectful of him.
Actually, when they returned to the past, the ML immediately started the 'now that I'm single I'm going to have fun' gimmick, having no care about his previous family. It was only when the FL, drunk, asked him about their kid that he finally had a moment awareness that he was no longer a kid anymore. And it took him waaaaaay too much time to understand where his heart was and how important their son was for him to change course. In this regard, the FL's actions were much more relatable, and mature.
So, to me, while both were failing at their relationship, I feel the ML attitude was more negative, with him perpetuating an immature outlook toward life that led him to ultimately fail his family.
Anyway. Regardless of what I think, I want to thank you for both your comments, as whatever insight I may have brought here was through your comments.
We see him drowning. His fate is strongly implied as having been suicide. Although for everyone around him not aware of the time travel possession thing, it was just a failed attempt.
I'm having problems with the ending. I was really hooked on this drama at first, so much that I stopped watching…
From watching many dramas, I've now developed a skill specifically related to kdramas. If the show has 16 eps, I already know that around ep. 10-12, things will definitely go south. Because of this 'rule', whenever I find an appropriate ending to the series until that point, I then come here, check the comments, read the spoilers, and rejoice in my decision to drop the drama at that point I chose. This puts me in charge in how the series ends. It also allows me to save some otherwise disastrous dramas from ruining my fun (and future memory of them).
Case in point? This drama. I stopped at the end of ep. 11. At this point, the ML and FL are taking the right steps into becoming a real couple, having deeper feelings for each other. The second couple is ruined forever, as the 2nd ML betrays his girlfriend. The landlady is just a nice but mysterious landlady. Everyone else's future is open and, to be honest, I couldn't care less about them. Perhaps the ML becomes a great fighter. Perhaps. Perhaps the FL becomes a successful announcer. Perhaps. But that's not important anymore, as this is just their lives moving forward. At this point I'm no longer willing to be a witness to what happens to them.
