THE RIGHT EXPERIMENT WITH TIME TRAVEL
Where do I start?This drama used its potential to the fullest and is definitely under rated.
By the name only you've come across what the plot is gonna be about exactly.
The only horrible thing about this drama is the starting 2-3 episodes.
It's f slow and has zero plot development which left me frustrated and I was about to drop it .
From EP 4-20 it's really good.
The hype kicks on, every possibility is tested, and the ending is open which is one of the best things about this drama .
The acting is amazing, none of the actors disappointed me , the direction could've been better but then again they really did wonder with the budget.
Go and watch it if you're in the mood for time travel.
And yeah you can fast forward or skip the first 2-3 episodes, they're a pain in the a88 to watch.
ENJOY! I won't reveal much as anything else would be a spoiler .^^

I admit, I was confused when episode 1 started, but it was a delicious, intrigued confused. By episode 2, no one is confused, just on the edge of your seat. By episode 14, there were some outcomes you'd expect in the story, but it was not all predictable. As I said, this drama never dragged ... and I was expecting it to since most 20 episode dramas have a tendency to drag the last 4 episodes. "Nine: Nine Times Time Travel" was a marvel from beginning to end, and at the end, the beginning was even more of a marvel. This was a perfect fit. Watch it and you'll see what I mean... but I warn - no skipping the drama to the end. It's more poignant and magical to see it as a whole.
The actors... were superb in their casting. Especially Lee Jin Wook - he carried this drama (not alone, but) the best. His acting was top notch and of course, he is handsome and gets even more so as the drama progresses. I think it's his character adding to his hotness. I love his suit scenes (which is every scene).
Joo Yoon He was also great and very pretty. Their characters made a really fitting and cute couple. I could see them living together forever lol. Her character did get annoying somewhere in the middle of the drama, but that really wasn't her fault. This actress did a great job.
The brother, the best friend, the villain, the dad.... every single cast member did a remarkable job. And of course, the production team. The best friend was so funny, he livened up even the serious moments. He was the best in this show imo.
Can't praise the workings of this drama highly enough. Go watch it.

Great spin on a time travel story
This one is a real mind bender. Plot-wise this show was consistently excellent. The story was creative, well paced, and expertly balanced its substantive existential concerns with the borderline soapy family drama. I liked how the writers handled the logistics of time travel. Even with the limited screen time afforded to it I was able to buy into into the romance. I read the ending as ambiguous enough to support multiple possible interpretations, which suits the vibe of the show well. The one downside was the acting was a bit patchy at times. Lee Jin Wook was generally good in this but there were also times when he was too stiff and expressionless. Jung Dong Hwan's performance as the villain was fine initially but got so bad in the later episodes of the show it was hard to watch. His constant slack jawed/bug eyed mugging was embarrassing. I can enjoy hammy overwrought acting under the right circumstances but his clownish performance just annoyed me and was out of sync with the rest of the show.Cet avis était-il utile?
follow the wormhole
one of those dramas that I wanted to watch an episode every day、but not all at once、 so as to draw out the enjoyment。 very suspenseful and with good tempo and movement between different strands of the story so no time to get bored〜however this was not a true sci-fi time travel drama more the idea of circular lives。 some aspects I dislike： the huge change in atmosphere between the next to last and final episodes I found strange and the ending is clever and intriguing but not totally satisfactory because it does not fit convincingly with the pretty definite ending to the previous episode； the relationship between ML and FLー I did not like his treatment of her or her taking it： I guess it is meant to be funny but for me verges on SM and falls flat： luckily for most of the drama the romance theme was in the background so did not affect the overall enjoyment I suppose they must have love interest to keep the audience ratings。still a very good drama〜 when K drama gets it right it is really good。Cet avis était-il utile?
Just as the title says, Nine Times Time Travel is an intriguing time travel tale.
The concept of using incense sticks to travel back 20 years into the past is unusual, but what captured my interest the most is the fact that the timelines of the past and the present parallel. Ever since Park Sun Woo (the lead) time travels for the first time, the two timelines are now made parallel. Any change that occurs in the past takes immediate affect in the future.
But I guess what I disliked the most is the poker face of sort that Sun Woo always put up. It's kind of expressionless but at the same time, he can express so much.

Nine has romance that is oh so good yet oh so painful, omg that pining! Samchun sniff. Kdrama male leads need to pine more! Lee Jin Wook's smiling eyes charmed my socks off, and his chemistry with Jo Yoon Hee sizzles. Ok ok Park Sun Woo is a jerk. All writer Song Jae Jung male leads are probably like that. But she loves torturing her heroes to the brink, and in the course of following the tragic sacrifices Sun Woo got into for his loved ones and the heroine, and you find yourself again hopelessly rooting for that jerk.
I appreciate how the story amidst all the angst ended with a positive outlook. Despite trying their best not to, our OTP fell for each other again, even in another time, and they probably will, again and again. Sometimes you keep on trying to change something but the path is already laid out. As Sun Woo said, why concentrate on what awful things happened in the past, or worry about what more godawful things will happen in the future. All one can do is be decent, make good choices and stand by them, love whom we love, pray and live our life without all those excess burdens, hope for the best, and enjoy the ride.
