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! 😂

Something is Missing...
I really want to give it higher rating like the others did but...something is missing from my angle so I'm not sure why... It is indeed a heartfelt story about struggles in a marriage and dealing with a child's emotion... I liked the movie with steamy sex scenes and some nice romance but I did not like how it ended with him leaving her without giving her the proper closure... To find closure, she flew to Finland hoping to speak to him but then found him in a restaurant eating lunch with his beautiful family... The saddest part was that he ruined her marriage by making her believe that he would leave his wife and that he is capable of giving her greater happiness... She left her husband to pursue a life with him but he left quietly just like that!!Is this what many of the viewers call "reality"? He was a coward in the end disappearing without facing her and telling her the truth... What did I get from this story? You just can't trust a man who is still married. Period.

Great Watch! A couple of boring moments...
Typically, if I enjoy the kissing scenes and shed a couple of tears, I would totally give it a 10 since I don't think I am a picky watcher.It's a great watch but there isn't a very deep scene that I would choose to rewatch. I always love to rewatch dramas that make me tear up but this drama is not that type. It's fun to watch the FL succeeds steps by steps getting her revenge and reaching her final destination. My favorite scenes were on the ML who did great on showing his gentle side and heartbreaks. I shed tears watching him going through all the sacrifices. He was cute, handsome, and a total gentleman!!!
FL is not my favorite type of actress but I think she did great! I felt the second FL and ML were a bit exaggerating. I fast forwarded a lot of their scenes. The ending was great but it did get a bit boring. Part of me, I just wanted to get it over with.
If you like the ML, you WILL find it worth it.

Great movie, more intense than expected!
I kinda think this is a porno?! There were crazy intense sex scenes that I did not expect to see in a movie. Surprisingly, I did enjoy every bit of the movie very much and do plan to rewatch (yep!). I decided not to give it a 10 because there were torture/rape/captivity and I'm not too sure if it was necessary for the story, given that he is a "doctor." I just can't comprehend why he would choose "that way" to heal a sick/fragile person. It was a bit much but then I enjoyed the steamy sex scenes that eventually led to love and connection. In other words, sex helped them become each other's saviors. The special part of the story (to me) was that both of them were suicidal and they both needed a distraction and SEX was the answer. According to the story, sexual desires/pleasures would help them forget and move on. I think the ending was beautifully done. They found each other and the reason to live again!Was this review helpful to you?
Worth watching!
I adore the ML but I'm not a fan of the FL and did not enjoy watching the 2nd ML (brother). The acting was good but not impressive. Did not notice anything special about the music. But overall, I enjoyed the drama very much because it's about pregnancy/child, marriage and there are great sex/kissing scenes.There are cute moments, heartache, sad scenes that will make you cry...I cried quite a bit at the very end where he felt he almost lost her... I rewatched those scenes quite a bit for the past few years and finally decided to write a review about it...
I think it's hard to find a story that I would patiently watch (without fast-forwarding) and let myself feel the pain and tear up... This one is a good one...no doubt!

Another ALL TIME favorite!!!
I am going around and trying to find these old dramas that I fell in love with and started to write reviews about them! I watched this drama for at least 3 times... I love the heartache this drama brings... feel alive to me!! very unforgettable! I cried quite a bit with every heartache she experienced when she went back to the past... The message that I got from the story was... no matter how hard you want something to happen, you will still need to wait for the right time to ask and to act on it... When the moment is not right, you just have to accept the disappointment. There were lots of life lessons that I enjoyed reflecting on... As much as I LOVE the first male lead, I also fell in love with the second male lead... it was touching in the end how the 2nd ML would do anything for her... It was a very FUN watch! Enjoy!Was this review helpful to you?

Mixed feelings
Like many others, I wish there was a "happy" ending but then realistically, how many relationships nowadays we would consider a "happy" ending relationship?This drama went to the realistic direction, which is... there's no fairytale in our distracted, high-tech, arrogant , spoiled-young adults WORLD...
How can we really picture a famous rising singer would settle with someone like him? I did enjoy the ending where the ML understood that there was no way he could be in "her" world no matter how much "she" said that "it's doable." It would be TOO exhausting for this couple to believe that they "can" make effort and FIT into each other worlds. Eventually, one of them would find ways to disrespect the other person using ANY kinds of excuses to be bitter toward the other person. The ML wanted to save the BEST memories he had with her and let go while things are not bitter and exhausting yet.
This short drama will show you how easy it is to start a relatioship even though the FL is a superstar. But, to really keep a serious long-term relationship will be a torture when either one of them is going off-path/too fast in their careers. The ML lead needs the space to grow personally and professionally away from her because her world is too unrealistic for him.
While I LOVE the story and truly have enjoyed watching it from beginning to end, the acting and the shooting did not make me tear up. I guess it's not deep enough for me to feel the pain they are going through? When the ML cried, I felt something but then the camera was shooting from behind and not showing his crying scene. If you want to know what really got me crying like a baby, you should try watching "The Beauty Inside." Every single time I picture the ML (Lee Min Ki) crying scene gives me goosebumps and my heart gets this weak, cold feeling. Now, that would be a 10/10 rating.
Therefore, it's an 8/10. Definitely, the story is good for young adults. My favorite type of romance usually the leads are older (like early to mid 30s). Enjoy the show. It sweet and easy-going!!
