Overrated drama! You will be disappointed...

I'm 43 with 4 young kids. I don't typically spend a lot of time watching dramas. I always read the first ten reviews to decide if it's worth it for me to dive into the story. For whatever reasons, all great reviews... So, I decided to give it a go, especially I'm a fan of the ML.

Oh wow, so much precious hours wasted on this drama... #1 - The superpower thing in this family makes no sense... Like, they are special but not using the ability to save the world, very selfish lifestyle ... So, their superpower is meaningless in the story, in my opinion...

#2- This family is rich but does not have the typical glamorous vibe, attire, lifestyle like most Korean dramas. I was waiting and waiting and waiting for the ML to change his look once he is all better but nope, very unattractive throughout the story from beginning till end... Also, no maid/assistant cooking and cleaning for them... So, I'm not even sure if they are still considered "rich."

#3- Not enough romance (steamy scenes). I just don't feel the connection was there, where the ML genuinely saw LOVE in the relationship... There were so much back and forth traveling to the past but i did not feel much was going on to make him fall in love... It felt like the story is meant for them to stay together but without much buildup around the relationship... Lots of annoying/unnecessary dramas... Very boring...

#4-Once it hits episode 6, i was like "Is this going anywhere? I started to fast forward to see if there is anything bigger would happen... Nope... I really had to drop it once it hits episode 11...Let me emphasize that I rarely skip an ending of a drama even though it's bad... I'm all about "let's just finish it no matter what..." Wow, it was a torture from episode 7 to 11... I really wanted to find out why this drama got such good reviews, but in the end, I was like: "Nah, it's not worth it..." So, I still don't have the slightest clue why it got that many good reviews...

Good luck finding out why this drama is so overrated! 😂
