Them photographers, one always has to watch out for them.

Yes, the curse! I wish it was a movie or a mini series instead. I liked it at the beginning, but it takes forever to get to the point, and I'm actually dying to see the story that was hinted at first but the show holds it back for whatever reason. I may be wrong on this because I'm a few episodes behind, but once the backstory was revealed, it kinda felt inconsequential. Like, neither Soo Ho nor Hae Ra even remember their past lives (and don't even start me on 'Black Knight' part because despite this being in the title twice, it never has any relevance in the story). They're just two people who get together after some time, no need for an elaborate fantasy backdrop. If Hae Ra wasn't given a push to go to Slovenia, Soo Ho would come back eventually and find her anyway very soon. He even had intel on her ready in his hands. Everything would go exactly the same route with or without all that rest of people being annoying in the background. Sharon is chanceless as a love interest or a meddler (no, I don't root for her, but if she stands no chance whatsoever, where's the thrill?), Baek Hee doesn't even count as a person but a plot device. I was so excited at the end of ep 6 when it seemed like the body swap will finally happen for good, but they soon killed it and introduced those ghost-exposing tattoos further reducing the possibility of Sharon's tricks having any chances of succeeding. They want us to believe she waited so many years and that's the best she came up with? Going to the bar with her rival's ex on a whim and making him do push ups? Come on. After what the showrunners did with the next switch when she tried to pose as Soo Ho and didn't even make it past her car doors, I'm afraid of watching any further only to get more of the same. I got 'we hate Sharon' memo, but she and Hae Ra made a deal and deals aren't suddenly invalid only because the other party is evil. Meanwhile, the show does everything it can to reduce Sharon's chances and give HR a handicap. Why not give Hae Ra an opportunity to work her way out instead of laying everything in front of her? Arghh. (Sorry for the rant. I guess I had too high expectations from ep 1.)
I'm not saying this show is garbage, but it certainly doesn't live up to it's premise so far. Unless it improves.

nope

/well, technically, some important scenes with explanations of what happened at the beginning will be shown towards the end so you'll see him again, and spoiler spoiler spoiler seriously that was a fun bit don't read it, here it goes: Black will be pretending that he regained his memory for a while and impersonating Moo Gang END OF THE SPOILER, but once he's shot in his head, he's dead for good. That grim reaper in a traditional garb sends him away to heaven offscreen and that's it.

sorry to bother to you after such a long time, but did you find it on KBS World? I saw they posted a trailer in 2010 and then nothing. Maybe I'm searching wrong. I'm watching it on dramacool, but the quality jumps between 360p and 720p from episode to episode. I hope they upload it someday in HD, because it certainly deserves it.

I'd be so lost on who's who without watching Six Flying Dragons first. Also, SFD's makers did an excellent job casting their Ha Ryun, he really is the younger version of the one here.

I swear she has a switch button on that lisp of hers. I'm watching her in The Great King Sejong ans she speaks normally. She spoke without in LOTBS, too.

Fully agree. It's the most cost-efficient and hassle-free solution. He's the only one sharing the screen with himself, the rest can be styled to look younger. Plus, casting younger version of his friends could cause confusion who's who if they weren't well chosen look-wise.

Lol on me. I'm a dummy, I missed that it was her body at the ER.
(But hey, that makes coming back to 2017 easier for him.)

Rollback time.
1. So, the newspaper first appears in the bridge scene, shown in a cut. Here's where I'm confused, because first Shin Woo only holds a small paper with a note that he took out of the book earlier. Then a bicycle passes by, loose papers fly in the air (from the bicycle?), SW falls into the lake. And then he floats in the water holding something large, definitely not a a note and too large for a book - is this that newspaper? He wakes up without it though. / ep 1, 26'
2. Does he timetravel the moment she dies? Those two events are shown simultanously. He doesn't know yet that she died when he's brooding on the bridge (he's there only because of the lost meeting in the past). A newspaper with that info was yet to be printed, so he couldn't hold it in the very same moment she was dying. What did he hold then? If it's not that newspaper, how does it timetravels?
3. Ok, after he realises she lied about the things she likes because he liked them and she liked him (ep 2, 24-7) he finds the newspaper behind his clothing rack (let's say it was in his coat somehow). And there are cuts to JS walking away just like @abcameo said. He's moping in the class, sitting on her seat. Now, I do agree with the comment below it's a bit random to kill her off, but ok. For the sake of the argument let's say that changing her lovelife will prevent the accident and her death isn't fixed no matter who she'll end up with. That's an open question because fate seems persistent here - when adult SW thinks he messed up, it turns out that despite his meddling things are not only setting in their place, but go a level up (accidental kiss in the bus for example).

Nevermind, I'm a dummy, not deleting for the sake of the completness.

/They did, but it fit even more into the sequence of events around preparing intel on Ji Soo and the fact that he didn't really know her that well back in his days. It came right when he dug for her past. I think he would be more shaken if it was about Ji Soo and if he realised present day can change so drastically and fatally, and it wasn't addressed at all (only that he needs to stop the marriage and set things right for himself). Not to mention if a newspaper from the future suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
I wonder can he come back in the end.

he doesn't go back and forth. He drowned in the lake, jumped 10 years back and stays there. The newspaper article he read was about the accident that happened to Ji Soo's family when she was younger (the one her older brother died). Ji Soo's mother was a doctor, too, and the headline was referring to her, not to present-day Ji Soo.

Thank you for taking time to write this. The flaws you named are precisely those I fear to find after devoting so much time to something. I'm looking forward to seeing a follow-up if you manage to finish it.

I got it, check out ep 9 from 18:22-50 for example (before entering a photographer studio/house). I think it came once again that episode, but didn't in previous ones (like 7-8 or maybe even 5-8, because I tarted to miss it). It played longer with fuller lyrics in firsts weeks though, so maybe someone else can help with better timemark.

replying 'cause I want to know, too. It's neither of five OSTs released so far, so it looks we need to wait for the rest to come out.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying! Let's hope it'll all wrap up somehow this week.

... can I ask which she do you mean? The review that was deleted spoiled that the culprit is a female and that it requires rethinking what was shown. At the point where I am (ep 22) Yoo Myung Hee does everything she can to look shady, but can it be Jin Se Ra in fact? She's in the poster afterall, so maybe her constant absence has a meaning behind it. There were some hints thrown at the beginning and never raised afterwards that keep bugging me. If there's a twist, it'd make it encouraging to continue watching. But if there was a twist indeed, I imagine there would be more talk in the comments.

no, Paul Anka's song. Did it come in some kdrama? If I were to guess, I'd rather take it here as a hint to JGS's character's field of expertise (like him being a god of destiny or something). Or just any random majestic entrance piece.

Hi, posting reviews before the drama finish airing is against MDL regulations, but can you at least have a little consideration for those of us who fell behind and NOT INCLUDE MAJOR SPOILERS ON WHO'S THE CULPRIT? Thank you.

did it stop midway or with some cliffhanger extorting season two? I loathe those types of endings. You'd think 75 eps is more than enough to tell the story (and it's said to already be bloated compared with the original plan because of production issues and whatnot...).

ep 8 just singlehandedly redeemed trucks for dramaland. Yay!
