Go Back Couple (2017)

I've never written a review for a kdrama before, but I JUST HAD to make one for this one.

This drama was honestly amazing, I couldn't stop watching it! It made me laugh, cry... laugh AND cry at the same time. I didn't expect this drama to be so deep and moving. It makes you look at your own life and reminds you of the things that you should already know but forget because of the busyness of just living your everyday life. It showed how life can take a toll on you when things get comfortable, how important it is to communicate because little misunderstandings can grow into something bigger, and how important it is to cherish those you care about because moments will become memories and the ones you cherish won't always be there. The importance of being in the moment because life flies by and you won't even realize it.

Time traveling is unrealistic but the acting made everything so believable that I didn't even care. The story line flowed beautifully. The main characters were amazing, as well as the supporting cast. The relationship between each one of them made it even more heartwarming.

I felt so many emotions watching this kdrama. Every time I cried, it was a different type of cry compared to when I would watch a typical romance kdrama. I felt like I understood the characters and how they felt, because its either I've actually been through what they were going through or I know I will be going through it in my own future.

I would 100% recommend it to everyone I can and re-watch it in the future.

Though it's pointless to be one of the many many reviews, but I wanted to raise more awareness of this drama. When I first look at the casting, I see nothing special but I can say that the actors and actresses do so well in their roles. Jang Nara cries at least twice in every episode but she is also so cute in some scenes. My first time seeing her and Son Ho Jun act and I think they act beautifully and so sincerely. Though I usually avoid time traveling dramas, but this story plot just drew me in. It has so many wonderful lessons in it and so many beautiful lines. It made me cry so much in the last few episodes. This drama was short and sweet. Though the beginning felt a bit slow, but the second half wrapped the 12 episodes together nicely. Watch it, it will be worth those 12 hours.

Every episode gave me strong emotions.

This is an excellent drama I happened to stumble upon and I have no regrets! I have not watched that many dramas but I absolutely love this one. I cried so hard and it felt good to watch this. Although I must say I have never rooted anyone like I rooted for the supporting actor (Jang Ki-yong).

I definitely recommend this. The premise may not be original or you may find it a bit cliche but this drama's take on it was amazingly great!

I just finished this series just a year ago and i just wanted to make a review about these. The series is a complete success for me because it made me laugh and made me cry at the same time. "Don't waste your chance" would be the moral lesson of the series, since the show promotes on correcting your mistake for second chances. I was somehow relate myself from the story since there are parts where Ban Do trying to correct his mistakes somehow it ended up being failed which really hit me hard. You'll just find yourself crying if you ever relate yourself on how the story goes.

Heartfelt romantic-comedy drama with a twist of fiction

This is one of the most heartwarming drama that I've ever seen.

Although this is a romance drama, it also touches other subjects like family, youth, friends and life all in one great production. At first I thought it would be just like Emergency Couple but I was surprised when they added the element of time traveling in the story making it unique on it's own sense. The way that the introduction was presented is very realistic since it's true that in real life, marriage doesn't really mean a happy ending. Rather than an ending, marriage is a new beginning and that's how they derived the story from. Aside from the main leads' marriage issue, throughout the drama you'll come across the story of their families and also their friends during college.

Jang NaRa really made her character comes to life as a housewife who lose confidence in herself through the years of marriage and started to live her youthful years again. The acting is very natural specially on the crying scenes. More than theromantic scenes of Jang NaRa and Son HoJoon, I find the scenes of Jang NaRa with Kim MiKyung together very touching. I cried a lot seeing them together. The chemistry as mother and daughter is really there which is fantastic.

The supporting characters also made their characters come to life as their story were also included. I really felt like they were college friends and everything is very natural. The second leads, Jang KiYong and Go BoGyeol made me think twice if they are better partner for the leads. Second lead syndrome is real.

This is definitely a hidden gem in the K-Drama Land with a great idea and cast altogether. It will surely make you laugh and cry with the characters.

This movie is one of a kind story. It talks about relationship especially to married couple. It is an ordinary scenario bit it realy existed in our real world. I know going back to the future is some kind of a fiction movie but the bulk of the story is so much relevance in our lives. The truthfulness of the story really capture my heaart. The actors especially the main characters carried me away. There are brilliant bravo!!! The sincerity of the main actors brought me to tears... yeah it has a crying part but it also funny it reminds me about my struggle suring college life... hehehehe.. anyway, every episodes are full of depth that you dont want to miss it.... so watch this and you will not regret this..

The simple spoiler-free version of this review: Great cast, cute storyline. It's shorter than a typical 16-episode drama, which I actually thought was a good idea overall since it could definitely feel like things would drag if continued on.

Adding a small spoiler warning for the below!

I'd tried to give this drama a go a while back but somehow never got past the second episode. However, I love the entire cast so in hunting for a new drama, I decided to give this another chance. I thought the premise to be interesting (love an exes back to lover storyline ... I suppose you don't know when you start if they'll get back together, but honestly, when do they not?) and I really enjoyed how they shared snippets of what really happened in the past compared to what happened in the new version of the past.

While I don't know if such revelations about a relationship are as 'easy' in real life ( AKA if we were to go back in time, would we be able to see how we missed certain things in our relationships? Would redoing that past really be able to tie together a relationship again? ), it was nice to be able to see the main couple realize the circumstances that separated them and helped to make their relationship stronger the second time around. I would have liked to see more than just a half episode of their new present, but I guess that's not the point of the drama. Could easily make for a cute short series on what happens next, but I doubt that that'll happen.

this drama is soo warm. I enjoyed it a lot, it is kinda slow but the whole story is very heartwarming and just so beautiful for me to skip any scene. the story about regrets and second chances love it so much. romance, family, friendship and life were all included in this drama. there were many emotional scenes, and I cried a lot too. the acting was good, nothing bad or awkward and nothing really stands out. since there were only 12 episodes, I enjoyed it even more. it wasn't draggy. I guess if it's 16 episodes my rate would be lower. anyways incase you need a warm drama, watch this.

This drama becomes one of my favorite drama after i finished watching it. Marriage is not the end of everything. The drama is about a 38 year old married couple who decided to get divorce after 14 years of married life .

The plot was very interesting and one you find out the mysterious fantasy behind the couple,you will definitely surprised and curious to know what would happen next. Every episode from first to the 12th was a different experience to me.

You should just give it a try. Because it would be an amazing drama experience especially when you touch the finale episodes.. emotional driven and may broken your heart after watching in it.

There are already plenty of well written reviews of this show. Just wanted to add that some of the comical scenes were so fresh that I couldn't help chuckling even well after the episodes were over.

My favourite LOL segment: when 20yo Ma Jin Joo and her 2 girlfriends tried to walk down a steep slope in high, high heels. The 2 girls carefully "surfed" down, whilst our over-confident heroine started off well but couldn't stop going down. I could just picture myself doing the same stupid thing. Of course if I had the gorgeous Jung Nam Gil to catch me, I'd do it again in a flash!

I truly enjoyed this well-written drama, with its strong cast. The beyond-the-happily-ever-after look into marriage, followed by the journey of falling back in love was beautifully crafted. Loved, loved, loved Kim Mi Kyung as Mum, and her chemistry with her daughter. She shone brightly with her warm and beautiful aura. Jang Na Ra was the best I have ever seen her. Son He Jun was pretty good, just a bit unconvincing in the truly sad parts. Jang Ki Yong made my eyes happy :)

I watched Go Back Couple after watching 18 Again and was afraid that the dramas were too similar and that I would make some unfair comparisons. Surprisingly, the storylines were quite different, with Go Back Couple focusing on university students’ lives while 18 Again was more focused on the father’s relationships with his children and wife as a high school student. I have to say, I absolutely hated Choi Ban Do in the beginning of the drama, and I’m definitely not alone in this. While he did seem to redeem himself in the last part of the drama and even made me shed some tears for him, I would have liked a little bit more closure with the couple, since I was left with the impression that the two returned to their time mostly because of the child and not because they thoroughly reconciled their differences. I could have also done without the unnecessary “love triangle” since it’s generally very hard for me to root for the second lead when I already know that the married couple will eventually end up back together. Instead of acting as a good friend for the FL like the second FL did for ML, he was mostly just a very annoying obstacle that was exacerbating the misunderstandings and starting unnecessary drama between the leads. It just got a little old after a while. Overall though, this drama was great and did a great job of tying up loose ends and fully exploring the idea of two middle-aged adults turning back into university students. I had a lot of laughs when they acted way older than regular students, and the mother-daughter relationship here was absolutely heartbreaking and beautiful. I’d imagine it would hit very close to home for people whose mothers also passed away. This is a beautiful drama full of amazing life lessons. Just don’t get too mad at the ML, he’s trying his best.
