if you are looking for a Drama that can run your feelings like rollercoaster
than this drama is good enough
beside that.
the story , there's big holes that makes you lose all the immersive feelings after watch.
there's still big question thats not answered because some variable are totally doesn't make any sense at all.
it is fantasy. but writer should have enough answer to any kind of variable question that viewers may had.
if we compare to another kdrama with similar fantasy . such as "W".
they have enough answer to any kind of variable that viewer may had.
its OK. but not good enough .

Normally I don't like watching melodramas, but I don't regret watching Tomorrow with You for a second, I'll just need to watch a couple of Running Man episodes to get over it.
edit: Now I'm a lot more experienced with kdramas than at the time of writing this review, this is definitely not a melodrama, it just has a little melo flavor.

The performances of the two leads were so powerful. I have watched these in some of their dramas and they are always amazing. Their chemistry is so amazing. However, the story is so focus on them that other support roles were not given emphasis (except for that mysterious man). There are no back-stories to develop their characters.
I really don’t know why it’s so underrated . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to watch it guys. Everything is perfect from the storyline to the cast and the OST. SUPER PERFECT!

The plot was great and kind of unique and after really thinking about it I fell in love with the whole thing. The chemistry between the 2 leads was great too. Shin Min Ah of course so I shouldn't have expected any less. As for Lee Je Hoon I didn't really know him but he did a great job with the role and I loved him. The OST was a bit lacking yet there's this one song that I really loved and I still remember the whole thing whenever I listen to it and that's my favorite thing in the world.

STORYOK, the story is interesting. It's sweet and also full of mystery. It teaches you that life is fragile, time is limited and you need to appreciate your loved ones. There are some plot holes but so far not really bother me.
ACTING
Wow, what a wonderful performance from Lee Je Hoon and Shin Min Ah,
solid acting! This is what i call talented actors.
MUSIC
Music is beautiful, modern and suit the mood
Overall
It is worth watching
HOWEVER, there is this little annoying thing that really bugs me. Yoon So Joon wants to save Ma Rin right? But it's for a silly reason in the last episode. That's really upsetting. It just spoils the whole greatness of this drama.
If you have not watched the drama, do not read the review below.
=============== SPOILERS======================================================
just wonder why marin is so stupid and careless -_-; i mean at the last scene, when the accident supposed to happen, why does she have that habit to cross the road blindly, that's the whole point of the drama, it's because of her carelessness that her dad sacrificed his own life, why can't so joon warn her stupidity to not crossing the road while there's car around. I get it, she was pushed by someone accidentally but instead of going back to the pedestrian lane, she chased her marriage certificate in the middle of highway. Why is she like that? Gahhh.. Is she a little child to chase something on a highway without even looking around whether there's car, like that?
I mean, the whole story and concept is GREAT, but the reason for Marin's death is only for her stupidity. That spoils the whole drama. It's not like a grand death where she cannot avoid it like what happened to happiness director's fate, it's not like inevitable accident, but she just does it repeatedly and it's annoyingggggg!!!! The whole reason for So Joon and Marin's dad misery is because of Marin's hobby to cross the road carelessly. She seems like fishing for death. Ok, that's all, other than that, everything is fine.

The fantasy part was good too though it had its loopholes. I can see that Mi ran is someone who is too affectionate and clingy and yoo joon is calm and composed but his character did change midway which is why the drama was made amazing.Everything in the drama seemed realistic. I heard it got low ratings but Seriously its not for those who don't like melodrama or romance which is not forced it just happens slowly and gradually it turns out to be so passionate that they just cant live without each other.I can write alot about it this one is just so perfect with its imperfections.

It's not bad but a bit depressing
I watched this show because I'm a big fan of Lee Je Hoon. I was impressed with his performance in Signal and Move to Heaven. For me he's one of the hottest and cutest Korean actors and very talented too. In this drama he also performed very well although this drama is not his usual type.Story wise: The show started well and made you wanted to watch more but as the show goes on, I found it's pretty depressing. I know this is not a common review. I didn't have a good mood watching the show. Although there are some very sweet cheesy scenes, the show focuses too much about their future death. I mean can we just focus and treasure the present? And if you already know that you will die on that specific day at that specific time, why don't you just stay at home? Why did you go out on the road? A lot of things can be avoided if they just communicate with each other. For me that makes the plot weak.
There is one unanswered question for me. How did So Joon and the ajusshi got the ability to travel to the future? How did they get selected but not Song Marin? Maybe I missed something?
The couple: they have some good chemistry there. It's not electrifying but the chemistry wasn't bad.
Characters: I couldn't say that I like Song Ma Rin. I think she sulks too much. Nothing really stands out from her personality. She sulks for days because So Joon keeps secrets from her but what do you expect when you marry the guy after 3 months? She did get better and became more understanding as the show went on but it's still annoying watching her sulk. Also, Shin Min A should practice her crying scenes. You know that she's trying to act when she cries, it's not natural.
Overall, I didn't think that i wasted my time (maybe because i love Lee Je Hoon too much) but I definitely won't rewatch. If you like time travelling this show is for you.

Another highlight from me is the superb directing. It gives a movie-like vibe, and presents some mundane life to be more interesting. The PD let the actors to act freely in some scenes, which turns the acting comes out natural and convincing. Moreover, the music helps much to set the mood; all the music instruments are on point. It can allow you to feel certain emotions in such a depth that overwhelm you. It was beautifully crafted. Love it!
I also love the contemplative elements in the dialogues. It felt natural, and REAL. Case in point: Ma-rin and her mom's scenes. Further, this drama constantly shows the long-talk between the main characters where the story unfolds there. Their long conversation and also the bickering gave the glimpse of how newlywed could have (albeit, this one is too corny).
Regardless of that one tiny imperfectness I mentioned before, which sadly affects the story in a whole, I fall in love deeply with this show since its first episode, like a love at the 1st sight (LMAO WHY I'M SO CHEESY. I blame Yoo So Joon LOL). I connected to the characters immediately, and was so invested to the story right off the bat.
I loved SMA as Ma-rin before I started to warm up to So Joon. She captivated my admiration for her because she subverts other female characters. She is too sensitive sometimes, but she represents half of the females in the world when it comes to a relationship so I had no problem with that. I could relate to her frustration about her 'dense' partner lol. I also loved LJH as Yoo So-joon. His acting is convincing in most of his scenes. I found his overly aegyeo was off-putting and corny, but he's the best when it's time to deliver a rapid change of sad emotion. He has always been a good actor. When you put SMA and LJH on screen together, bam, their chemistry exploded. I could tell there were some ad-libs being made because they seemed one second away from laughing out loud. I LOVE how SJ and MR could be so silly together, yet they're still mature and considerable for each other. They're also too adorable. They delivered the sweetest yet most heartbreaking love story.
Overall, this drama leaves deep and good impression for me (I probably need more time to get over it).
If you look for a romance, this one is definitely for you. Just be prepared for a long squee and endless swoon while watching it ;)

I just want to clarify one thing first: People have this misconception that since Tomorrow With You revolves around time-travel, the episodes should be action-packed. However, Tomorrow with you is a melodrama. To put it short, it's a mix of time-fantasy + melodrama combination. I have seen a lot of shows that failed overall just because they wanted to create a new mix of genre (Bride of the Water God = fantasy + youth romance || Suspicious Partner = Crime-Mystery + Romance || Doctors = Medical + Melodrama + Romance), but there have also been a lot of successful genre-mixes (While You Were Sleeping = Legal/Crime + Fantasy || Descendants of the Sun = Medical + Melodrama || W = Fantasy + Thriller). Not gonna include Goblin as an example because that show is a masterpiece and no drama from recent time has been close to it at all. At least for me.
Tomorrow with you is a melodrama that stood out well for me. It did well enough that I can say with confidence that it can be mentioned alongside the names of top-notch Melodramas such as The Master's Sun and The Innocent Man. Now the actual review starts from here
Story
I'm pretty precise when it comes to scoring the story. I haven't ever given a perfect 10 for story; even for my all-time favorite show, Goblin. For the story to be a 10 for me, the plot, the conflict, the flow, the climax, and the ending must all be equally resonated among the episodes. There must be absolute clarity in terms of the delivery of the plot from start to finish. That includes the most important part which is the ending. Hence, to spoil a bit from the story, I want to say that Tomorrow With You probably has one of the best endings of a melodrama in history. Hands down.
The plot itself is unique. I'll give a short premise to the plot to let you know how unique it is: A man can time-travel to the future (and back to the present) through the use of a subway, thus leading him to be successful in his current life. The story starts there, introducing us to Yoo So Joon, a selfish and wealthy time traveler. His life changes when he finds out the he will die in the future (for those who haven't watched, relax. This spoiler isn't exactly a 'spoiler'. Technically) on the same night with a beautiful woman (Song Ma Rin). He then made the effort to rescue that woman in the present in the hopes of changing his future. It didn't change however, and it actually turned out worse because now, he couldn't travel in the future if the date is past 2019. Also, he doesn't die in the new future, but rather becomes missing.
If that's not some unique plot that will catch your attention for a melodrama then I don't know what will. The supposed 'plot twist' was already given at the start of the drama so it makes you think how will this pan out (Sort of how W did it from episode 5). Give this drama a try if you want something fresh and new. I wouldn't lie, it has some tweaky plot holes near the climax of the story, but overall, the presentation of the story from start to finish was sill fantastic. 9.5/10
Acting
I honestly thought Shin Min Ah + Lee Je Hoon was a weird combination. You're combining an actress famous for being in successful rom-coms such as My Girlfriend is a nine-tailed fox and Oh My Venus, and an actor who's known to play more serious roles, especially in Signal. I had this prejudice that both of them would suck at making viewers feel connected to them because of their backgrounds. I was wrong though. They both were fantastic in their first melodrama. The character development of both Yoo So Joon and Song Ma Rin in the show was exceptional. Yoo So Joon from being a selfish, lazy director of a real estate company to being a loving husband and a responsible person. Song Ma Rin from being an alcoholic, hopeless-romantic to being a gloomy, mysterious woman towards the end. The acting of the two leads is brilliant. Would have shed a perfect 10 had it not been for a really mediocre supporting cast. 9.5/10
Music
The OST is really unique. It was mainly composed of ballads and piano solos to capture the mood for scenes. I'm personally not a fan of classical music, but nevertheless, it was executed well in this series. You can feel the emotions in scenes from the music. 9/10
Rewatch Value
The plot is so unique for a melodrama that if you want to cry all over again, you can just watch it. I'm one of the few people who actually appreciates melodramas as it actually brings the best of the best actors/actresses in terms of delivery. Having a unique plot to make me feel that is a worthwhile experience
Overall
I recommend you to watch this even if you are not a fan of melodramas. You just might start appreciating melodramas after this. If you are a fan of Melodramas, prepare for an emotional ride

While there are indeed holes in Tomorrow With You, overall I felt the use of Time Travel was very good though.
Following narrowly avoiding a fatal railway accident Yoo So Joon finds that he can now travel through time every time he uses the subway, forwards or backwards depending on the direction that he travels. Interestingly, where many time travel stories only talk about permitting travel to the past, this one declares that one can only travel to the future and back to your "current" time, so if you travel forwards in time 2 years stay there for 4 hours and come back - 4 hours have passed in the current time. It kinda makes sense as a plot device (because time pressures in the "now" also exist in the future, you can't just come back 1 minute after you left and solve the problem) and means that you don't need to bend your mind around some of the more complex problems of time travel.
A key difference between this story and many others i've seen (all others to date in fact) is that the couple get married really early on in the story, so this immediately isn't your regular story. It's got the kind of tone about it that feels like an arranged marriage where the couple start of marrying and then over time develop their feelings and a close relationship.
The story definitely has different gears though, as it progresses it shifts into these different gears and the focus of the story shifts a little, whether it's getting together with Ma-rin in the first place, dealing with an embezzler, solving a murder or - well, the things that happen even later in the story - I felt that the shifts made sense and really gave a feeling of the story progressing. It takes place over a period primarily between 2015 and 2022 (though there are nods back to 2009 when the railway accident occurs), so over such an extended period you can see why there would need to be some sense of real progression through the story.
What kept me going through this was the relationship between Ma-rin and So-Joon, I loved Ma-rin's character and thought the extreme bubbliness was actually warranted given she's led a largely lonely life and finally finding someone she loves in this way it's like all that emotion is bursting out of her - but she's no push over, and she's not a light headed character either, she's independent and strong as is demonstrated numerous times when So-Joon asks her to change something (e.g. stop being a photographer at a location) because he's trying to prevent something in the future - but without telling her the reason, she stands her ground because it's just a really unreasonable request in any other circumstance. So-joon played by Lee Je Hoon was another good character, somewhat wooden but then again I also feel that since he's had a largely isolated life that's not unreasonable either.
The bad guy - Kim Yong Jim, played by Baek Hyun Jin was awesome, he had a real presence about him as his character - which starts as a nice guy, gradually devolves into - well, what he ends up as. Seeing his descent was really interesting and portrayed well. It's got that "joker" or "darth vader prequel" feel - the step by step slippery slope as a good guy became the bad guy. His whole mannerism with his facial expressions and general posture though, amazing. Definitely going to watch some more with him to see his range.
Finally, the conclusion - without spoiling it. I left the final two episodes (15/16) until the following day as it was already about 3am by the time I got there... and I'm really glad I did. They're emotional, tense and difficult. Seeing ma-rin go through such a rollercoaster of emotions was painful and joyous and I really think it was her character that drove these last two episodes - So Joon was doing plenty too but what Ma-rin was going through, the strength of character it showed and the emotions she experienced were the highlight for me.
This is an absolute must-watch for me and definitely going on my re-watch list.
Music was the only downside for me, and it may purely be because i was so engaged by the on-screen action that I forgot to pay attention, but nothing stood out for me. I need to dig out the OST on YouTube and have a listen, but certainly for the time being the music didn't make any specific imprint on my memory.

So Joon é um viajante no tempo, ele acabou adquirindo esse "poder" após sobreviver uma acidente de trem onde perdeu seus pais.
Song Ma Ri agora fotógrafa, já foi uma atriz mirim famosa por um papel que interpretou mas que hoje em dia lhe traz muitos problemas, e por casa da situação em que ela vive está sempre nas fofocas de um jornalista.
So Joon acaba salvando Ma Ri de um final trágico por impulso mesmo ele sendo proibido de mexer no futuro das pessoas.
Em uma de suas idas ao futuro ele acaba descobrindo que ele morreria e então acaba se casando com a Ma Ri para mudar seu futuro mesmo sem ter sentimentos por ela(dica de um outro viajante).
No decorrer acabam se apaixonando mas seus segredos acaba sempre causando confusão no seu casamento, além de que em muitos momentos ele foi muito injusto com a Ma Ri.
Apesar do casamento ter sido um plano dele, eles tinham muita química, as cenas deles como casal eram lindas ?
O casal secundário, eu amei eles, eram velhos amigos que acabaram se envolvendo (mas tentam negar a todo custo ?)
O "vilão" é um homem muito louco cara, muito psicopata, que nem a personagem mais chata que casou com ele por dinheiro merecia viver com ele.

The Underrated Gem: Tomorrow With You
This drama was such an entertaining watch, not for a second was I bored or distracted and for someone like me who has an attention span of a bee it sure is a feat of its own.Character Development: this was the finest aspect of Tomorrow With You for me because they were able to nail this and with such finesse. The plot and actors collectively complimented the subtle yet clearly distinguishable personality change of every character involved with a justifiable pace that didn't feel too rushed or unbelievable as it tends to happen in most cases. They stuck to keeping them in a grayish spectrum of persona, not too good and not too evil either just a bunch of realistic lives that at some point everyone can relate with.
The main lead went to being from extremely self engrossed to a bit disoriented and then to being desperately besotted while still clinging to his selfish gains throughout.
The antagonist was very well scripted that at times I kinda tried to justify his actions because he wasn't a beast on a murdering spree from the beginning, just a lil' too ambitious for his own good and that is exactly what struck a chord with me because when has ever demanding what you rightfully deserve labeled as a crime?
The female lead was such a cutie, eccentric and cringey too at times but a cutie nonetheless. I truly get where she was coming from. Getting used to rejection from family, friends and random strangers can take a toll on anyone and then suddenly, out of the blue being accepted and loved not to mention the new experience of martial bliss can make you a tad high on happiness if not completely cuckoo in the heads. Ma Rin proved to be such an entertainer and yes, am gonna defend her craziness because she was anything but irritating. She made me laugh my guts out while simultaneously dealing with heavy emotions like depression, disbelief and determination with such gusto that boy, it truly had me. She'll be my favorite FL for a while now, that's for sure.
Plot: I'm a sucker for sci-fi and on your face romance more so if both combined so it was a given already that the plot was going to keep me busy. Not gonna lie the entire concept got way too complicated in the midway than it was initially supposed to be but that's okay, it made me sit up and focus on every scene and timeline as if my life depended on it (cause the lead's sure did lol).
It was such an heart wrenching story sprinkled with humour and overall wholesomeness of developing human relations that despite some plotline loopholes in the end I was ready to overlook every flaw of this show just because the presentation and execution was done perfectly.
Acting: Might I just say, that I'm in love with Shin Min Ah for her work in this one. This is my first drama of hers and man, am I awestruck by her beauty and charm already.
Lee Je Hoon brought a dash of happy surprise as well with his immaculate acting. Mentioning the obvious here but I couldn't resist, these guys had such a rocking chemistry, their lovey dovey marriage even the lovers' quarrels appeared so believable that I was wishing for it to be true in both real and reel life; it doesn't hurts that they both look extremely good together either.
Jo Hee Park appeared somewhat awkward and hasty with her portrayal as the female second lead.
I find Kang Ki Doong, Han Chul Jo and Kim Ye Won annoyingly cute almost everywhere they go so, there's nothing new about it.
Extra: How the hell was everyone on this drama so gorgeously dressed? I mean hats off to the costume designers, who came up with such brilliant chic yet classy looking clothing for every character. I almost wanted to steal them denim jackets and overcoats virtually (don't blame me the entire thing was on futuristic hopes and wishful thinking).
In conclusion, the show is criminally underrated for no reason whatsoever and if you're looking for a heavy romance with an equally heavy plot well, look no further!
