I, too, actually enjoyed the heroine in HSKOS. She was completely off-the-wall and I loved it.

For some reason, I don't really like the Goblin soundtrack or, rather, how it was used. I find it weird that the music/scoring is so similar in this and yet I like it here. Maybe because the director doesn't slow things down quite as frequently.

The dog was such a show-stealer in the first ep lol! Surprisingly though, rather than YAI (though he is very yummy, especially in the past), Im Soo-jung was the one I had a total girl-crush on at the end! She is such a refreshing and expressive actress. I'm digging her character, especially with that last reveal.

This is the most thought-provoking romantic drama I've watched in a while. I actually consider it underrated. I like the way they are depicting their relationship growth realistically and the way the time-travel theme is used to question how our characters live their lives, in the past, present, or future. For some reason this drama engages me more than some more "entertaining" shows. I guess I just enjoy what most people find boring.

Lol, yay, someone fixed the cast. I just noticed the other day that it was messed up.

I'm so glad I'm not alone in feeling this way. Episode 7 really messed with my emotions and had me watching the ending over and over! That hug just makes my heart soar every time.

Me too. I just found out that the song from the end of ep 6 is hers also!

Yeah, it's cool that she wrote that song and performed it for KPOP Star and now, even though she didn't win, her original song became such a perfect OST for this awesome show.

I personally loved the instrumentals and the calm, introspective tone. To each their own I guess. I think the story will really get going next week though.

This drama is a romance so of course it's not going to be like Signal. It's even about time-travelling to the future for once, something I'm personally liking. I'm enjoying this show on its own merits.

Except I like it better so far...
I'm enjoying the characters, the mystery, and the overall feel of the show. And I love that the PD doesn't feel the need to pause for an overdramatic music moment every 5 seconds like Goblin did. I enjoyed that show, but I got taken out of the moment all the time because of all the lingering music video moments. This director actually knows how to let moments breath. And the banter between the leads felt much more realistic to me.

If you want to see whether Gyun Sang can pull this off, all you need to do is watch a few of his scenes from Six Flying Dragons. I didn't watch Doctor Crush, but in Pinocchio he was pretty good, just didn't impress me the way he did others. l was nervous when he was cast as the younger counterpart of my favorite Tree with Deep Roots character in Six Flying Dragons, but he ended up doing the role justice and I've been a fan ever since.

I wish they had introduced that storyline better so that we could have already been a bit invested in that when she was snooping around. I don't think I would have been as pissed off. I also get that his behavior didn't come off as particularly fair to her either so I'm trying to cut her some slack, but jeez.

I was all ready to get happy that we had a theater geek as a female lead. Who actually drives her own car! (For some reason, I feel like I almost never see female characters driving in dramas)

Right now, I'm sticking to this for him. He's just so sweet. I'm gonna give the female lead some time to improve because this is from the MnD writer. Joo Jang-mi wasn't the easiest to love either, but she became one of favorite female leads. I'm hoping I'll at least like this one more.

I'm not bothered by that because I think he's supposed to have social phobia, in addition to everything. So he isn't just introverted. His sister seems like she might be a functional introvert (if I'm going off the character description). He's just a more extreme case of it. People like him do exist so as long as this is about helping with his social phobia and not about ridding him completely of his introversion, I'll be fine.

I'm enjoying it a lot so far! I think the drama is still finding its rhythm, but it seems really promising. I found the raws:

I watched it live. I haven't checked for the raw yet, but it could be out by now. It's been over an hour since it ended.

Aw, I just adore Yeon Woo-jin here. He's so adorable and hilarious just trying to navigate through the people in his life. I feel so much for his struggle already. Can't wait for subs.

It aired just an hour ago. Subs will probably be available in a few hours or so.

For what its worth, episode 5 hooked me on the show with a revelation that came at the end. It finally sets up the central conflict and makes things a lot more compelling. I'm not saying it will have you loving the show because, well, I'll acknowledge that this show is quite possibly the cheesiest thing I've ever loved so unreservedly, but it may just get you invested.
