ummm extremely illogical
First of all if you like time travel dramas you can watch this, but if you like logical stuff, thinking and analyzing things you might not like it. If you like romance you might not like it either but there are romance hints here and there...
What I liked:
The openings with nice quotes.
The message of time travel not being that much of a good thing.
Acting.
What I disliked:
Everything else lol, to be precise, the plot/story
the inconsistence
the forced hints of romance
the forced "shocking twists"
ages!!
First of all, the Time Theory, that they are using. It's not the linear theory when your action changes the future. But a theory like a tree or something where there are multiple universes and each your action just creates another universe.... well this seems like an excuse to cover up all this inconsistences in-between. Make the writer's life easier. But! it would have been alright, and even very interesting if this whole thing was consistent in itself? but by the end of the drama the time theory get's messed up and sometimes we get a linear one, sometimes not, then again a linear one.
They treat people from the other universe as "different people" with same DNA. then "same people" then "different people" again.... Drama "Train" did much better with universes than this one.
Down here are SPOILERS mostly on the ending. so Beware! But in one word the ending was bad:
The last episode was complete disaster for me as everything explained was going into nowhere. The big mystery was trying hard to be impactful but was there just for the "shock" value. Because there was completely no explanation why was he killing the mother all the time. Why was he in agony? what exactly wanted he to end? If it's like he said and he shouldn't have been born, then just killing himself once would have solved it. But he just kept going to that one day to kill her and not him... why? just because writer wanted a "shock value" on her death. Who wrote that book in the first place? and WHY exactly they kept doing what was written. lol I mean if it's a prophecy it should happen one way or another, but they were just "deciding" to make it the way it's written and nothing in the world was actually forcing them. At least nothing they showed.
I will ignore the fact that all Alice employees suddenly conveniently disappeared just to make a nice battle ground for them for a second.
Now they tell that everything resets (well this was expected thing from the very first ep) BUT somehow that rule doesn't apply to certain people? Why is mother left there when she is a time traveler? Why is he left there when he is a son of time traveler? WHY is born in the first place when his father disappeared into thin air? Why is his personality a little bit changed? Why is the Team Leader Ahjosshi still there when the real one died even before the case with Jin Gyeom's classmate happened? Why he doesn't remember Jin Gyom when everything reset from the birthday, meaning after the whole case with suicide (if we ignore both of them shouldn't be there in the first place)? Why reporter Do Yeon doesn't know him when they were classmates? Why the present Tae Yi remembers him even though she lived a completely different life?? (how is she going to live if she doesn't remember where she went on seminar, what work she has to do now etc etc etc) And more importantly WHY does she even exist if her mother was a time traveler in the first place?? Why is she with her adoptive parents when her father shouldn't have died (if we ignore her mother shouldn't have been there so she shouldn't have been born at all) ? Again why is she adopted by them when they went to that orphanage, but she was taken there by the JG mother and they shouldn't have met in the first place because no time travel anymore?? And WHY does he not thinks that she looks exactly like his mom when he sees her? All he thinks later is "oh it's a girl from my dreams" and then Ta-Da slightly romantic ending.
Like Laugarza said in the comments it would have been a little bit more decent and made more sense if she had met his father Min Hyuk in present day and got pregnant so she could give birth to Jin gyum in 2020. That is of course if we forget Tae Yi was also daughter of a time traveler and should have been reset too!
Also the seem to have spent their whole CGI budget on the first two eps. And then coulnd't even show us the disappearance and appearance of people who are time travelling. Then they spent a little for the last ep. Oh and of course they didn't forget to spend all the remaining funds on the Year Captions. I'd rather have interesting time travel then an interesting caption. lol but this is just random addon, it doesn't affect the drama much.
And Last but not least, the ages. The just said that people there come from 2050. Well, okay. but there are 30-40 year old versions of themselves living in 2020. And they are shown as their past. Well now explain me please how come people from 2050 look like the are 30-40-50 when they have to be 80-90?? And out of all the people the one who actually got old was only the ml? lol If you are 90 in the future and come back to the past, even though that past is a different universe, okay well if you are super futuristic healthy you will live till 120, but look like a 40?? or not die? lol I just don't understand anything at all.
Acting was good, Music was good.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
first of all if you don't want spoiler don't read all the above. Second, I think this drama choose another version of time theory to avoid plot holes but in the end has fallen into a bigger plot hole.
and third, It's not THAT bad. lol It's still an Okay-ish drama that you can enjoy. I was just expecting a lot, plus i love logical stuff, plus the first ep was too promising. I also don't exclude the possibility that it was just me who didn't understand anything and my lack of understanding lead me to not liking this drama.
So you can take a risk, start watching and see if you like :) But I don't think I would recommend this to a friend. But if the friend would still be interested i would say to try it and just beware and not expect much.
"Train" that ended not long before this one did things much better. Though I didn't like it much too, but compared to this one, it worked perfectly with different universes.
