They're definitely doing the story of nature versus nurture. And our past story in my opinion showed that they both have an effect but nurture won out over nature and so I think that means Jang Ki Yong will probably be the murderer in both times, whether they body swapped or not. I'm kind of annoyed about it because I actually feel a bit of chemistry between his present time character and Jin Se Yeons, where as (I'm definitely in the minority, but) I just feel zero chemistry between Lee Soo Hyuk and Jin Se Yeon. There's more chemistry between the 2 male leads to me. But for example even going off the main poster there's a clear divide between Jang Ki Yong's characters and our other 2 leads. It's just my opinion, but I think they're setting it up again so that Jang Ki Yongs character will always be in love with hers but never loved back, which is what most fans of the drama want, so it's probably the right move for the writer. I wish I could ship them, but I just don't... I know that relationships aren't the most important part of the show, but they're a part were definitely supposed to root for and im sadly not rooting for them.
I think I'm one of the few people who wasn't really that excited for this drama, but surprisingly the first episode seriously hooked me. Loved all 3 female leads, found their characters to be really unique and likeable. And Yoo In Young's character's relationship made me quite emotional and considering I've only seen the 1 episode thats impressive. Definitely will be watching more!
I truly enjoyed every moment of this drama. The journey I went on with these characters was brilliant and I have to appreciate how few plot holes they managed to end the show with considering how many there could have been. It kept the viewer guessing till the very last second of the very last episode- I’m so impressed!
Ah, yet another drama I thought was going well, trashed for being lame and confusing in the comments. And here…
I'm the same. All the dramas I've been enjoying recently, this included, seem to be getting non stop hate, it's so strange. For this drama in particular I enjoy watching it so much that I just don't agree with all the problems people are having with it.
I have been putting off starting this, because its quite close to what happened between my parents, but I've finally given in and watched the first episode and I can't believe how good this drama really is. I'm English but I missed the original BBC version so every twist and turn in this is new for me. I was actually shaking with anger at the end of the first episode due everything that's revealed. First episodes never affect me to that extent, I'm all in for this drama now! I'm going to have to try to catch up quick! Kim Hee Ae is a superstar.
Congratulations! Managing to convert a friend to become a kdrama fan is an extremely difficult task. I’ve tried so many times and sadly failed. I have always tried to convert friends with my first kdrama ‘Dramaworld’ which is a plotwise a little bit similar to Extraordinary You and half in English, half Korean (with the bonus of adorable Woo Do Hwan) and whilst friends always enjoy that they never end up following through with more. I tried Strong Woman DBS as a second drama and they all hated the humour, so maybe I should try Extraordinary You...that’s a really good idea.
I've not really watched much or in Lee Soo Hyuks cases any of these lead actors previous works, so i wasn't attached to any of them going into the first episodes, but I found that after the first and now second I'm a big fan of Jang Ki Yong. It's definitely also down to how great a job the writer did on his character, but Jang Ki Yong managed to pull off the character so so well and make me really care about and sympathise with him. The only problem for me was that because so much time was spent on making that character so human and real I really don't care too much for the lead couple. I don't really care if they're together or not and it's clear I'm supposed to think they're this epic couple that are meant to be. I just wish we got more time with them in the 'past' episodes because when they died it didn't really affect me. I think the body swap has obviously happened so I don't know how I feel about the only character I'm invested in now being played by another actor, it's strange. I loved the first episodes, i just wish we had more moments with the couple!
Love that this jumped from 7.0 to 8.5. Just shows that ratings whilst a dramas airing mean nothing, it probably won't be 7.0 or 8.5 by the time it's finished airing, and only then will it be really worth looking at its rating.
Does anyone know how this drama will end? I know it's based off a webtoon, I was just wondering if Sol Ah and…
In the webtoon they do, but the drama really isn't anything like the webtoon. The characters have the same names but that's about it. The whole aging thing isn't even a factor in the webtoon, so it's hard to say if it will definitely follow the same ending or not.
I have to make a list in my phone to keep of what day each of the dramas I’m following come out, so I am thrilled that this is now a feature on MDL! MDL just gets better and better every year!
I've not read the webtoon so I can't comment on how this compares, but that first episode was so funny, adorable and such a brilliant introduction to these characters. It's rare that I really really like short webseries like this, but this ones blown me away after only it's first episode! Also I was trying to figure out where id seen the actor for the role of Yoo Jin Hyuk and I can’t believe it’s the detective from 365: Repeat the year, he looks so different! He’s adorable in both though!
It was a difficult watch, but I was completely enthralled with the first episode. Only in the last year have I branched out from romcoms and decided to give different genres a go, only to find there are some incredible kdramas out there, I’m hoping this will be another one! I didn’t expect the first episode to be almost entirely focused in the past, but I loved how brilliantly it set up all of our characters, especially Jang Ki Yongs, I’m a fan of murderers you can sympathise with!
I love this drama and whilst I do wish that we had more episodes to show a slower and gradual growth of our leads relationship, I really think they've done a brilliant job. Their relationship, although fast is still believable and their emotional connection feels very real. Considering this drama has lost a quarter of its episodes I think they've done incredibly well to keep it feeling consistent and I completely enjoy every episode. But maybe that's just me!
There are no words for how good this drama is. It's just so insane and epic. And I personally haven't found any massive potholes, which is so rare for this type of drama. I'm so excited for the last episodes, but I'm also so sad that this is it! (I'm also holding out the tiniest bit of hope that we will get a romantic ending for Ga Hyun and Hyung Jo, but I'm also thinking Hyung Jo will probably die)
Every night to catch up I watch one episode. I just love this cast and how slowly but surely you can see them becoming friends and you can see their true personalities come out! It's such fun to watch!
He was in the first drama I ever watched 'Dramaworld' and I've not seen him in a drama since, but he just seemed to skyrocket in popularity after that. Now seeing him in King: the Eternal Monarch it's so cool to see how he's grown as an actor!
