Not Only One But Two Masterpiece Romantic Stories
Holy hell, this show is damn magnificent! I started this show with zero expectations,. However as the story started progressing, I began to cherish it enthusiasticly. It was beautifully written, not only one but two love stories. The earlier episodes were really slow, I can understand if several audience choose to drop it. But that was the overall pace, and that was the exact pace so we could enjoy this show. The story was all about revealing the truth about a writer, Han Se Ju, and his fan, Jeon Seol, regarding their past life back in 1930s. It was also about slowly revealing the promise they made in the past. As they recalled their past memory, they began to understand what happened and what shouldn't happened, like putting a puzzle pieces together. That slow pace was the way we could enjoy it being slowly revealed. I love the character development of the leads. I was afraid due to their mistakes in the past, they would begin to run away for the sake of avoiding making the same mistake. Thankfully, they all were mature enough, and thanks to Se Ju strong-willed personality due to his childhood trauma, to ensure they had the same vision: to never repeat the past mistakes. There is a good mixture of romance, mystery, and comedy too.
The cast did an outstanding performance. Yoo Ah In did a great job, it's a shame he did stupid things later on in real life. Im Soo Jung rarely appears on a drama, and once she did she always had an impressive job. Even all of the supporting characters did an excellent job here.
Several things that bothers me: I still couldn't understand why Seol decided to stay around Se Ju after he was being excessively harsh to her, it didn't make sense at all. I think Cho Sang Mi's storyline was unnecessary. The story about Tae Min and his problematic family was already complicated itself, there was no need to bring another storyline into it. Also, Ma Bang Jin didn't get a proper closure.
The soundtracks are really nice. I enjoy it a lot.
Should you watch it? Of course! If you're searching for a deep, slow-burn, and heartwarming story, you should try this.
And I would like to close the review with this quote from the show. "If you want to say something today, say it. Tommorow might not be yours. Your loved ones won't always by your side."
