Go Back Couple (2017)

Seemingly cliché, but surprisingly addicting and insightful.

This drama is filled with classic K-Drama clichés. Multiple love triangles? Check. The female lead trips and gets caught by a man (I won’t tell you which man. ;))? Check—multiple times. Those clichés are so obvious that one cannot help but wince when they happen.

However, those clichés are easily overshadowed by the superb acting of every single actor and the skillful plot execution of the writers and producers.

There are plenty of moments when the main leads skillfully bring forth their “mature adult personas” in their everyday interactions. Even the support cast does well with adding depth to the character interaction and story development—especially Ma Jin Joo’s parents (played by Lee Byung Joon and Kim Mi Kyung). Combined with the writing, the characters do well in portraying the realistic challenges of a marriage.

Unlike many dramas, no one character makes the viewer fully hate them. Well, there may be one…but her reasons are justified. Throughout the episodes, one may root for two people, but at the same time, feel bad about the third person who gets left out. It gets to the point where you internally bicker with yourself to determine who to root for.

Another element that makes this drama special is the end of each episode when it reveals a relevant snippet of what really happened in the couple’s lives. Those ending snippets nicely ties each episode together, while showcasing a different side of the story. This makes the viewer empathize even more with each main character, and it makes them want to see more.

I’m glad that I gave this K-Drama a chance.

I didn't have much expectations for Go Back Couple when I started watching it. Jang Nara never disappoints and I was excited to see Son Hojoon in his first lead role. But wow, this was a really good watch,

It was satisfying all throughout. Tied up really nicely. All my questions were answered, all in just 12 episodes. Amazing!

I love how it not only focused on the leads' relationship but also their surroundings and how each of them affects everyone.

NO TOXIC CHARACTERS. NO ANNOYING LOVE TRIANGLES!

This drama will be remembered for a  long time. I love you, Go Back Couple!

So emotional T-T

Just finished watching and i haven't cried this much watching a kdrama in a long time. Everything about the storytelling of this kdrama was well done. If anything, this kdrama had the potential to be longer, to give space for secondary characters to also have their fair share of screen time.

The thing i fear the most it's misunderstandings. All of a sudden friendships, love relationships and family bonds end because of a misunderstanding or lack of communication. The whole mother/daughter relationship absolutely ended me. My father died 10 years ago and there's just so much i would like to have done with him that i never got a chance to. I love the actress that did the mother's role, she is always so kind and a perfect mom in almost all kdramas i've watched with her. Adore her. I am so happy they had such a lovely dynamic.

Since i liked all characters so much i wished we could've seen how everyone end up like that in the end and explore all characters. But looked like there was not enough time to shoot everything. It's ok. This was more than enough.

I think this is the type of kdrama that teaches you valuable things. A big thank you to the writer!

this was really going to be the best drama i watched from while ago .... BUT -_-

as usual they lost the main aspect they should focus on and got busy with another aspect

the main idea was to get back to see the value of what u have and don't let problems blind u
to know how to deal with your problems in marriage
to focus how to develop yourself and help others around u to get better

but they focused suddenly more on parenting and youth problems
which really distracted me
and sequently
the romance between the couple got lukewarm

the main leads from my opinion didn't get close to each other as i thought to know the real reasons which led to this situation
they discovered about each other coincidentally which was really illogical for me and made the main idea lost

even when the 2 main leads back as adults they didn't think most of the time as they should according to their age

many side stories were open for me even the 2 main leads which gave u the feeling the director ends the drama in rush
and too many flash backs for the same scene with many different explanations which lead you to be bored

i'm really frustrating for the turn the drama took towards the end :(

this drama is not romance it's purely social

To die for. Whenever i think of it i get emotional. I cried almost at every episode i watched, the last one i cried much more because there weren't anymore to watch and for the fact they made it a 12 episode drama and not 16. I actually lived with it, i shared the same concerns with the actors and really got inspired by it. I can't believe a drama like that exists, with the right amount of laughs, of embarassment, of jealousy, of romance, of cuteness, .... everything seemed so perfect. I actually agreed with the characters' choices, which is not usual since i fell in love with the second male-lead (as i have the second male-lead syndrome) , but it was so weird for meto actually agree with the writer and bring the two leads together . It had a great ending, totally perfect. I'm still hoping for a second season everyone.

If you can go back into the past and do things differently, would you do it? That's basically the premise of the story as we're introduced to a couple who married at a young age and later on faced with an unbelievable situation due to a bad misunderstanding. So when a freak incident sent them back into the past, such thing would have been a great miracle.

This drama is really great at telling a story on how a couple who once had great love for each other was able to reconcile again after revisiting the past and recalling what was it about each other that they loved so much. Only in kdrama would you see a situation where one would receive a divine intervention to reset your life and set things right. And through an unexpected way even!

As usual, Jang Nara is the queen of romcom dramas. It's really great to see her as Ma Jinjoo as we see her life unfolds in the drama. She really looks good with Son Hojun, it wouldn't have crossed your mind that there was a big age gap between them. Nara do tend to have great chemistry with her costars regardless of how old or young they were compared to her.

That said, this is probably the first drama that I don't really mind seeing Jang Kiyong in it. Seriously his character in Born Again really affected my first impression of him to discourage me from even wanting to check out any of his other dramas. But Jang's character in this drama was pretty decent so I guess it's fine.

Really love how the many different couple relationships had been written and how it doesn't feel out of place to see these people grow close together. This drama was really pleasant to watch. But that said, there was still quite a lot of tearjerking scenes, you can't help yourself but relate to them. Love the fact how they did end up changing the future slightly after their return back into the past.
