Solid typical K-drama with a time travel twist
If anyone were to recommend a k-drama to get into k-dramas, this would be a good one.It has the modern day green flag male falling for oblivious distsy female, with a sprinkle of second lead. And can't forgot a random thriller twist that all Korean romance dramas need to have! In this one, we have a psychopath who is out to kill the male lead.
If you watched Someday or One Day, the Taiwanese drama, the time traveling kind of reminds me of that. But they were able to incorporate their own flair to time traveling to make it so clever and binge-worthy.
It's crazy this one psychopath serial killer affected their lives so much. A little too draggy for me. And as a result, there was way too much filler for me towards the end. I couldn't even watch the last episode cause I know it'll be filler. It's not a romance k-drama without a random cute date of visiting stores and winning plushies! I also couldn't stand the female lead and her siloed decisions. She is literally the (lovely) runner.
The music, is phenomenal.

I WANTED TO PUNCH HER SOOO BAD....
It's just me that I found the FL annoying, unbearable, and extremely hard to watch?She is sooooooooooooooo annoying that it almost ruined the whole show for me.
It has good aspects and bad as well but because of her, I wanted to punch her every episode. The lying and the stupid actions made me soooooo angry... right right I get it, she did that to protect him, but even when it wasn't needed anymore, she still tried to act as a stupid and ridiculous little girl...
Anyways, he's perfect! That alone its enough to watch the show hahaha.

Cheesy, thoughtless, incomplete details
I'm sorry my dear friends - I truly tried to be fair and complete the episodes. But from ep.10 itself it started dragging so badly that I barely managed to torture myself till ep.12.It had so much promise so I waited for all episodes to be released then decided to binge watch. But alas!
Maybe the story/ screen play writer went back in time and forgot to come back??
Or they flew into the future and left the balance script for amateurs to fill in the gaps??
Whatever.....it's an irresponsible story with vague events, one sided chemistry from the ML, worthless romance etc etc.
Is someone beating you guys up that you have to produce such high quantity at the risk of poor low quality dramas?
I have not seen one decent romance k drama to date in 2024.
Your country, culture and wonderful entertainment has taken the world by storm - hope you can go back to making high quality dramas with some time, effort and love ?

You Guys Gave This A 9.1?
This review is for those who've already seen it. You may enjoy it as it's just a compilation of notes I made watching this drama.Let me start off by saying this drama is like Twinkling Watermelon meets W. W is one of my favorite dramas and Twinkling Watermelon was amazing. This, however, is really hard to watch. Like really hard. I'm sticking with it, but fast-forwarding quite a bit. I've only quit one drama before because I couldn't stand the FL and I'm trying not to have a repeat of Kill Me, Heal Me.
FL, Im Sol (Kim Hye-Yoon) was really cute and sweet in the first episode. Then when she travelled back in time she became really annoying and kind of ditzy/stupid. ML, Ryu Sun-Jae (Byeon Woo-Seok) was weirdly nice in episode one, despite his clear depression, but past him was a bit odd. In his defense, Im Sol was being a creep and a half.
Someone in the comments (on Viki) said that Kim Tae-Sun (Song Geon-Hee) was the 2nd ML, but when searching the names, I see a different male billed above him. Never seen this guy in any drama before but he looks too old for high school.
Okay, now it's just annoying. He keeps trying to confess, and she's either the world's biggest moron, or she's deaf. Maybe both.
This whole her rushing home to stop the fire, whilst dumb and dumber, her best friend, Lee Hyun-Joo (Seo Hye-Won), and brother, Im Geum (Song Ji-Ho), is not only stupid, it's infuriating.
Her teenage self took over? Ugh. This is going to be exhausting and drawn out for no reason, I can tell.
I feel really bad for 2nd ML. She needs to end it with that poor guy. Also, harsh take but maybe she didn't deserve working legs because the amount of times this girl falls, trips, gets knocked over, etc is annoying.
Omg. He keeps saying "I like you" and she keeps running away. What even is this plot and how on earth was it rated so highly on this site?
Oh good. And now we're at the "I can't accept your feelings." dumb *#&@^$(#& crap.
Baek In Hyuk (Lee Seung Hyub) is completely right. It's been like 15 years and suddenly he just falls for her all over again? Especially after how ungrateful and shitty she was the last time they met in the past.
Her losing her mind about the watch and screaming, "I should have died instead!" like he's not even dead. Go be with him in hospital instead of doing all this nonsense.
"I can't die before I save him!" proceeds to close her eyes and make no attempt to save herself. God she's infuriating.
2ML is definitely my favorite character. He's keeping me hanging on. Much like the bromance in Goblin was the only thing keeping going through that because that girl was obnoxious and acted like a child.
"Hey my dad said the killer is stalking you, shouldn't you tell your family and move everyone somewhere safer?" No. That would be intelligent, why would I do that?
So they both learn the killer has escaped, she breaks down to Tae Sung's dad about catching him and then her boyfriend is cautious about everything and she's like "What's up with you?". Good god she's insufferable.
I struggled to get through this drama and the only reason I did was because I skipped a lot. I'm glad we got the happy ending for everyone. The last episode was pretty sweet. And I will say, unlike other dramas, it wasn't a super rushed happy ending so I will give them that.
Justice for my man Tae Sung though. lol

This is a bad drama!
This is predictable and boring, hence a bad drama! Overused concept, like, is it 2010?They should stop making shows like these now!
A borefest from start to end. I was going to drop it at ep 3, but one of my ex-friends threatened to pull my nails out, so I had to waste my time over this.
Anyone who finds this drama good needs to get some help. There is something seriously wrong with them up there.

I really don't know what exact feeling am I giving to this drama...
The story is nice and understandable, though I was kinda annoyed by how it goes because she kept coming back and forth through all the episodes. Like I was very confused and was about to drop this drama on episode 4 or something because I was so confused and I felt kinda sorry to Sol too. Like if I was her I'd end my life right away due to confusion that leds to depression....... anyway!Actually if someone I liked told me that they are annoyed by my existence I'd never show up infront of them ever like EVER.. but this Sunjae mf still insist to follow her anywhere which is very annoying like...
I somehow don't really like the OSTs except 4 songs. ..
But the feeling when they reunited with the memories they had is so heart warming, I didn't cry the whole season but that scene made me very emotional.

Good start, but lazy writing happened.
I watched this show expecting a lot because of the hype surrounding it but was let down. People were even comparing it to Twinkling Watermelon which was a top tier drama for me. I could tolerate it for a bit hoping that it would get better, but ultimately the female leads character is extremely annoying and I didn’t see any chemistry between the two leads. The plot is confusing at times but also very cliche and corny. I was waiting for a different result with the many chances the main character was given to change things. However, with the exception of the first back in time, it was a repeat of almost the same thing every time after. It’s not that I didn’t like it, but it was hard watching the female lead keep making the same mistakes trying to push the male lead away just to get the same result.First few episodes are good, but there were so many plot holes in the storyline plus the lazy writing towards the end that just ruined this drama for me. Not a MUST WATCH! like what everyone is saying, but good for a one time watch.

breaking my silence ( i put whatever in the star rating because i want to finish it first)
The drama started out fun and great but it started going down hill after the "highschool arc" , she avoided him in the most absured ways giving me second hand embaressment instead of talking and making it clear she wants nothing to do with him tf . But i still had hope, a part of me did'nt want this show to go even further down the drain , i had hope that they will salvage it somehow and pick up the pace when they made up . I really waited and suffered through out the whole collage missunderstanding thing , the light at the end of the tunnel started shinning and i was as hopeful as i can get when they he finally figured out the future thing , i ran till the end of this tunnel following the bright hopeful light and when i finally reached it it turned dark and all i could feel was the despair of the fucking disaster of episode 13. it was so bad i just finished watching it right now and started to write this . Episode 13 was so bad it made me write a goddamn essay , and the thing that makes my blood boil is the fact that people LIKED the episode , am i the problem ??? i don't wanns say too much about the episode because i already reviewd it in the episode 13 review , but the ending actually made me almost cry ........out of anger lmaooo beacuse please tell me why did she do that , now all the other 12 episode mean nothing quite literally .Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Started of great but lost me along the way
I really liked this drama in the beginning. It was fresh and cute but the more episodes dropped the more boring it became.The acting is great even tho sometimes FL was a bit over overacting which was a bit annoying.
Now after episode 12 it completely lost me. Its draggy, its boring, nothing happens and FL is starting to become annoying and her voice is getting screechier.

Started off well , ended up a cliched mess
I guess i am also one of the very few who cannot rave about this show and this review will not be liked by most of the current (young) audiences but well since i watched i will provide my thoughtsI was attracted by clips of first few episodes and story line thinking it will be "we. will cross all hurdles including time and space" type of love story which i am up for watching anytime but i was disappointed big time.
First two episodes was gripping. First wave of disappointment came in when there was fire in Im Sol's house . What was it ! why that sequence which did not make sense and its utterly annoying to see such stupidity. Its not comedy if it does not fit into the flow of the sequence. Randomly these sequences are integrated. There are some comic scenes which is really good but most just falls flat and importantly it does not contribute to the story in any way.
But what really doused my interest is ML already liking her and with just one look and no interaction in original timeline .Liking her to the point where he cares nothing but her. That just destroyed the premise for me .
ML cares about swimming for first few episodes then he doesnt give a damn. After that its like a list of cute scenes or crying scenes but really what is their relationship if we dont see them sit and talk and discuss other than saying they are happy !. He was a student who worked hard for it and now he is just a romantic goof .
If only their relationship was built with more substance where she comes back to save him , bcs she saw him as a person who gave back her spirit of life but then slowly turns into something more and the same with him but no.. it all stays in a very superficial level.
Even FL does not show any maturity when she is supposed to be 34 year old in the body of 20 year old and that too for a person who has gone through so much and when she remembers all of that! Being full of life is not same as acting all teenage like!
Psycho story line is a mess as well. A criminal attacked police officers and how come he is still roaming around and police officers are listening to a teenage girl what to do!! No wonder they could not keep a criminal in hand cuffs in place lol.
And then later he also manages to come to a 5 star hotel to attack the ML. wow! thats hell of a security and policy system this world has!
Same with SML and ML's friend . ML did not even know where his friend lived. And SML one day became buddies with them and enjoying in the beach ( another beach scene cliche thats a must i suppose) when he had his own gang which disappeared ?
Point is none of this characters or the relationship is built up on a solid base that you care about them (Cant help but think of SOOD here)
Only good thing is the leads and the actors who do have a good comic timing ( but sadly all are over the top or out of place)
This plot had the potential to be as good as Someday or one day. Sigh ..
PS : i am still giving ratings more than what i think it deserves

En aşık kdrama karakteri
Çok güzel başladığını düşünüyorum ilk bölümler kalbimi kıpır kıpır ettirdi erkek karakterin kadın karaktere gösterdiği aşkını izlemek aşka olan inancımı arttırdı her zaman ve her evrende erkek karakter sevmeye ve aşık olmaya devam etti bence dizinin en etkileyici kısmı da buydu . Kadın oyuncunun oyunculuğunun mukteşemliği erkek oyuncuya da çok şey kattı ve güzel bir gençlik aşkı izlememize olanak sağladı .fakat sonlara doğru senaryonun basitleştiğini ve katil adamın neden öldüğünü merak ediyorum dizinin iyi sonla bitmesi güzel oldu fakat kötü sonla bitseydi kesinlikle akılda kalıcı bir senaryo olacaktı.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Writers gave more effort on the fluff than the plot
Personally, I enjoyed it. The leads are engaging, and I love chemistry. It's cliché, yes, but the same cliché wouldn't work if the actors didn't have the same chemistry as BWS and KHY. Heartwarming and fluttering, not as heavy as the first episode suggested. (Although my expectation was the show would deep dive into mental health of idols and tackle the issues with great careness)If we're talking objectively, the time travel aspect could've been executed better:
1.) They shouldn't have made Sol able to do a time freeze. That power alone could've helped Sol escaped so many bad and life threatening situations, but they didn't utilize it other than her sneaking into SJ's room. That was such a wasted opportunity and big flaw in Sol's characterization. Everytime Sol is in a bad situation, that's all I could think of in my head "Time freeze!"
2.) They were doing well with minimizing plotholes until the last quarter, when they decided it'd be a good idea to break the time travel rules they'd established in the beginning. Once a show breaks its own logic, plotholes keep piling up that'd be hard to patch, and that's what happened here. It almost felt like the writer had a good idea of an ending but not the path to get there.
3.) Villains do not need a backstory, but with how deeply entangled the serial killer is in Sol and Sunjae's fates, it didn't make sense that we didn't even know his modus operandi. We don't need the killer's backstory, but at least understanding his motives would give layers to his almost never ending deep fate entanglement with the leads. The whole fate concept fell flat and came to an underwhelming conclusion.
Rewatch value is low for me because the show is riddled with editable slow mo scenes of the leads and they're all over social media anyway. The plot itself is too underwhelming to sit through again.
The show fell into the typical romance tropes trap after a great introduction. If you're here for the cuteness and fluff of the show, this drama is filled with that. This is a feel-good drama all around so I'm not surprise people resonated with it.
