It Got Lost in the Sauce by the End

To be blunt, this show was a bit of a letdown, especially since the first two or three episodes were very strong imo. The concept of exploring how people react when pushed to their limits when they all of a sudden had accessibility to guns, was super interesting. I understand that Kim Young-kwang’s character, Moon Baek, was meant to be a major villain and an agent of chaos, but at some point, it just stopped making sense. Suddenly he’s an arms dealer running a massive underground operation? It felt completely out of left field. The idea had potential but the execution of the show was lackluster by the end. By the end of it the show got a little lost in the sauce wanting to focus more on shock value by using excessive shootings and action scenes, than creating a coherent story.

I loved everything about this show! Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi have a great bromance/chemistry and their dynamic kept me laughing throughout. The pacing was solid, and the action scenes were incredible. While the writing started to get a little iffy by episode 6, especially with the abrupt exit of Kim Sae-ron’s character, it held my attention and I binged the show in just two days! Now I will say you’ll need to suspend disbelief as the story progresses on, especially with the fight scenes and unrealistic survival of some of the injuries the characters receive, but if you watch this show at face value, it’s a fantastic watch.

I loved this movie SO much. It was so suspenseful and I was genuinely frightened while watching this movie because as a woman, there is times while walking that I have thought, is this man following me or are we just going to the same place? Do I have to run and cause a scene or should I post up and protect myself. Adding this fear on top of the FL lead being deaf just adds more terror to the experience that most woman have had and Wi Ha-Joon running SO fast in this added to it also. The only reason I gave it 8 stars was due to the fact that I felt like this movie could've been like 15-20 more minutes longer to wrap up the ending more cleanly seeing as it felt slightly rushed to me. This was a great movie overall and I have recommended it a bunch of my friends.

Fate will always find a way

I cannot even begin to say how much I loved this drama. It stays with you after you've finished it. Even though alot of kdramas have explored time travel before, I really enjoyed the element of soul jumping also. I’ll admit that at certain points it can be hard to keep up with what’s going on, but I was hooked from the first episode. The only reason that I gave this a 9.5 and not a 10 is that I wish the drama had explained the time travel and soul jumping mechanics more clearly. I had to rewind the airport scene with Yeon-jun and Si-heon explaining the soul jumping and its specific rules at least three times before I fully understood what was happening. Also, unless I missed something, why was the cassette player so important, and why were the characters tied to that specific song? Additionally, I wish they would've given more time to the fact that before the soul jumping happened that Yeon-jun was gay before he was in a car crash. I feel like having a full episode dedicated to that subplot would've just flushed out details and would have added even more depth to the story overall. I wouldn't call the ending a traditional happy one per se, but it left me with a feeling that fate will always find a way especially if it is truly meant to be. Overall, if you go into this drama suspending your disbelief in reality and just go with it, it is an extremely enjoyable watch.
