Hands down one of the best time travel dramas I’ve ever seen.

Please don’t let the 6 star reviews fool you. Those are mostly because they have seen the original and think it’s better, which is valid because usually old is gold. But as someone who hasn’t watched the original, and if you haven’t either, I REALLY recommend this drama.

The first notable thing about this drama is that it feels so intriguing and special. As someone who watches a lot of dramas, I sometimes find myself bored at at least one point in the series or I feel as if I’m forcing myself to continue watching. But with this drama I felt the complete opposite. There was no moment when I was watching where I thought, “ugh can we speed this up already..” or “I just need to get through X amount of episodes before I’m finally done.”

There also wasn’t any scene or scenario in the drama that I felt was unnecessary to the plot (or essentially filler) and they didn’t drag out the story like a lot of dramas tend to do to make it to 16 episodes which I REALLY appreciated (this is only 12 episodes). It all felt very smooth and necessary to move the story along. Every episode made me want to watch the next episode immediately!

As for the story itself, I have to give extreme props to the writers. I honestly thought this was just going to be a romance, but the story had other aspects of mystery, thriller, and mellow feelings. Every time I thought I figured out the plot, I was completely wrong and it took a different turn that I wasn’t expecting. This is story is one that is super confusing at first, but bits and pieces are placed together throughout watching and just fit perfectly together once it ends.

Another aspect that made this drama so memorable was the acting. The actors they included, Jeon Yeo been and Min Jin Woong, did a phenomenal job at portraying personalities that completely opposed each other such as Min Ju and Jun Hee, and Chanyeong and Chan Hui. As I was watching them portray these characters I kept thinking, “Wow, they should get an award for this.” Because of how much their duality was shown in the series.


End of spoiler warning!

Overall I definitely recommended this drama. It’s one that I will definitely remember and continue to recommend to others. I’m surprised that it wasn’t a bigger hit like Lovely Runner, I felt like I didn’t hear much about it when it came out. Which is a shame because in my opinion this was a lot better than LR and deserves a lot more recognition. But anyways, thanks for taking the time to read my review and I really hope you give this drama a chance!!
