I've been a fan of GongJun since 'Begin Again' although I believe his best work was 'Rising with the Wind'. And TMOPB is what got me to Cdramas so I always have a soft spot for YangMi. I like both leads, but this drama is just not doing it for me. I guess the initial anticipation and high expectation is what is killing the ratings. As opposed to previously under the radar dramas like 'The Double' that came out as a pleasant surprise.
I haven't caught up on all episodes but with these dramas usually ML is older. She looks to be 8 to maximum 10 years old when she was sent away, plus 10 years that passed. She should only be max 20 years old. I'm guessing she's also only supposed to still be a teen. Acting is good, but can't help that the visual disrupts the immersive experience.
I think ML also looks matured for his age. However, in his case it fits the character profile. FL actress is pretty when on modern style, but here she looks around the same age as the stepmum. And the original JiangLi looks really young too, so the contrast is very jarring.
It's really interesting. Although, I sometimes struggle with how matured the FL looks. It doesn't help that the rest of the cast like the stepmum and the father doesn't really look old enough to be her parents' age.
episode 3 now, I'll be honest, the FL looks really matured for the age of the character she's supposed to be playing. She reminds me of Zhou Yutong. Nonetheless, the acting is really good.
On the other hand, I was also quite surprised that ML is only 22 in real life. I can't see him playing teenage characters like how FeiYu, WuLei and Dylan (who are in the same age bracket as him) are able to do it convincingly. These mature roles indeed suit him, wish they just toned it down with the flashy peacock red and aimless fanning. He's good with the role already and no need to overdo it with trying to be imposing.
GwiJu is just so mentally weak and fragile. This is really one good plot/script because to be honest, the characters are too flawed. It's really the intriguing events that keeps you going. Definitely refreshing from other series.
I can't get my head around why Do Hae will disappear if he doesn't save her. Time travel is indeed complicated.…
it always depends on the writer on what rules they established when in comes to time travelling. However, it seems here that everything is already fixed and they will not use alternate universe. So there is no way that DaHae will disappear since GwiJu 'already' saved her. No matter how they try to change that, the events will always fall into place.
And yeah, I'm also interested if there is any special reason why DaHae is the only one GwiJu can see.
This is the biggest drama let down. Can't believe I waited years for this. Still, I'm hoping for another project for Mark and Yaya (this time with a GOOD plot and script please)...
LOL Dad is getting scammed too and doesn't even realise yet. And I love that Team Scammer have been showing their humanity so lately. I think only the Scammer Mom is still a mystery to me. I still can't tell if she genuinely cares for DaHee or not. Sometimes she looks like she does, but making her have two fake marriages and basically selling herself really crossed the line.
I'm really liking this show! I must say the first episode felt off and strange, but I'm glad they really established the tone for this drama early on. Once you accepted that this is not your typical romcom, and that the characters are grey (even borderline unlikeable) you will start enjoying this drama's quirkiness.
what's up with all these crazy comments? and what do people mean that LYN is not supporting this? am I the only one who remembers their pairing in The Long Ballad? they had very good chemistry and that was the first drama where I've seen them and was impressed by their acting (even as supporting character). So their reunion is something I have always looked forward to.
Admittedly, the synopsis here doesn't sound very interesting. But I've realized based on the hundred dramas that came out, it's always the one with weird or boring storylines that often becomes a pleasant surprise.
I'm struggling to continue with the frustration this brings out in me. That lady police is so frustrating, she's so cocky, annoying and dumb. She's so obsessed with Su-in even though at one point they had a bunch of parasytes she could have captured if she wants a hunting dog. She's always acting like 'yeah! I'm so cool and chill', but her skills and rationale are so lame. If they toned down the smugness it would have been a bit bearable. I'm on episode 5 and I also still couldn't connect with FL. The only likeable character so far is KangWoo. This doesn't have the 'genius' story telling and character building as the original manga author. Maybe mangaka really had zero input in this.
why are people upset about that scene? haha I actually like it. Otherwise, I would have worried her illness came back after a few years (which is more realistic). That scene was an assurance of a lasting happy ending.
just finished watching the last episode. can someone explain the ending bit to me please? about the grandpa in…
Yes, it was Hyunwoo. HaeIn lived a long life and died at 84yrs old. It was a happy ending. Meaning her illness did not come back and she lived a long life

some of the premise are over-dramatically silly, nonetheless, I'm very intrigued.
