Let me just say...

I'll be honest, I think the reason people love this show is because of Byeon Woo-Seok's portrayal of Sun-jae. The fact that he's very attractive, tall, and is generally likeable makes this show nice to watch, lol. The love story itself is interesting, but there's a few things I think the show did a poor job at.
1. I WISH that we got a richer back story on all the characters
2. I wish more things tied the ML and FL together besides the FL's ability to go back in time. Maybe if they had known each other since childhood rather than high school? Idk. I just feel like the relationship itself sort of lacked depth.
3. It would have been nice if the themes of class or poverty or something substantial were highlighted. Casting such attractive characters is great but I wish the producers/writers also put more thought into adding more complexity to this plot.
4. The person who was trying to hurt Im Sol -- wish we had background on him? Like if the reason he wanted to hurt was for revenge idk I just feel like it was a weird plot twist that made no sense to me. I wanted MORE! 😭

I like the relationship between the leads, I think the love story itself is nice, Sun-jae is a good bf, etc etc. But I just wanted more. There's 1000s of romantic storylines, but very few are able to have substance and unfortunately, as adorable the couple is, thats kind of the extent of what makes this show memorable. Their on-screen chemistry made me want to continue watching and it got me hooked on the show for a bit, but that's about it sadly.
Great songs though, 10/10.

WOW

This is my first C-drama -- I WAS HOOKED!
Oh my God, there's so much to love about this drama. I love that we get an inside scoop of everyone's lives. I love the romance that slowly builds between the leads (they're also very adorable together).
I cannot point to a single flaw in this show, and that is quite rare.
To me, nothing fell short. the show addresses sexual assault, mental illness, having a criminal past, moral dilemmas, and it was so beautifully executed.
I was getting frustated alongside the characters, I would cry when they cried, and laugh when they laughed.
This is probably one of the best if not THE best show out there, C-drama or not.
The plot is incredible, please do yourself a favor and watch it.

I love it!

This is a good drama to watch if you've watched a heavy one or if you are trying to get over a drama (for me I was trying to get over Lovely Runner!)
It's funny, witty, and explores multiple dynamics (does not fixate on the leads alone). I think it truly is a well-rounded, light hearted drama with a tad bit of spiciness too (swearing, slight sexual content etc). I also think it highlights class and class differences, and even the difficulties that arise when people from different classes clash. Even compared to a more popular drama such as Lovely Runner, I think this show does a better job at actually having a meaningful purpose that goes beyond showcasing romance and compatibility alone. I truly adore this show!
