Simple but comfortable Time-Traveling drama with good leads chemistry
“Always Meet Again” was an impromptu watch as I was looking for something light. Well, it turns out not to be as light as I thought, but not too angsty or sad either. The plot is quite simple. Jang Hye Seong traveled back in time and met his first love. At first, he tried to avoid him but ended up actively trying to change the past for him. Was he successful? You will have to find that out yourself. One thing good about non-Chinese time traveling dramas is that there is no censorship. So, you don’t have to worry about the lead waking up from a dream, or it’s a novel within a novel. Those could be so darn frustrating.
Despite this being a very simple plot, I actually quite enjoy it. The acting is better than I thought for a low budget production with not very experienced actors. Lead actors Woo Jin Han and Shin Jeong You previously starred in “A Breeze of Love” together. I find their acting improved from the last drama and the chemistry is good. They look like they are pretty comfortable with each other.
The earlier episodes are OK, but the story gets better towards the latter half. I also find the acting gets better as the story goes as well. The drama doesn’t really have many heart-stopping cute and fluffy scenes, nor heart-wrenching sad scenes. It’s just a really comfortable watch, yet in the end, I did get a little more emotional. I was rooting for ML’s success in changing the past.
Having said that, my biggest complaint probably lies in one not very logical decision. If you’re so desperate trying to change the fate of your loved one, and know that riding a bike could lead to a very bad outcome, why would you go on a trip on a bike? You have already put 4 locks on that bike, why not take the bus or the train? What’s with the introduction of potential color blindness, but with no explanation whatsoever. Why? What’s the connection to time traveling? Is it a barrier to being a painter? What's going on? Another minor complaint is very subjective since I am not a fan of love at first sight. Lee U Jin seems to have fallen for Jang Hye Seong rather quickly, like one or two encounters. But this is a short drama, so I guess that’s ok. Lastly, there’s too much bright light back lighting. I am blinded by several scenes and that’s not romantic to me when I can barely see.
I do truly enjoy the drama for what it is if I don’t think too hard on the plot holes. The chemistry of the leads carries the show. I enjoy watching scenes of them together, and just being together. It feels natural, nice and warm. In the end, I did get the emotional highs and lows that I want in a drama. I would recommend a one-time watch if you like time traveling.
