Okay, I know that you're only supposed to write a review after you've seen the whole drama, but I needed to put this out there. Sorry—please bear with me. Be forewarned, I dropped this drama after 6 episodes so I can't rate the ending. I also have not seen In Time With You (the Taiwanese version) so I can't compare. When I first started this drama, I was really excited. I love romantic stories where two friends discover that they have been in love all along, so I thought this drama would be really enjoyable. Contrary to what many others have said, I don't think that their relationship itself was boring. Ha Ji Won (Oh Ha Na) and Lee Jin Wook (Choi Won) are cute together, and they found the perfect balance between friendship and romantic love. I also liked how the story switched between present day and flashbacks to their time in high school—as the viewer, this allowed you to grow with their relationship and learn more about them throughout. Now for the bad. The drama only revolved around the two main characters. There was very little personal growth/development of the secondary characters. When the drama introduced new characters, they only feel like obstacles to the main couple's relationship. The story was very repetitive—Oh Ha Na and Choi Won would find a perfect balance of friendship and begin to grow in their relationship, and then a new character would get in the way for a little while. That character, rather than growing, would just cause problems and then fade away. Then the couple would return to their happy lives before repeating the cycle all over again. Rather than learn from this never-ending cycle, Oh Ha Na and Choi Won didn't really grow as characters and instead dealt with each problem much in the same way. Rather than being bored by this drama, I am just frustrated beyond belief. The acting is good but not spectacular (and Ha Ji Won did a lot of deer-in-the-headlights-staring instead of reacting emotionally). The music was also good but not great. Overall, the drama maybe had some underlying message about the trials of life (?) It was hard to say because there was very little development. My rewatch value is obviously low because I dropped the drama and have no desire to pick it up anytime soon. If friendship-to-love romances are your thing and you have a high tolerance for frustrating characters, I would suggest you maybe try this drama (but don't take my word on that). Otherwise, I would suggest you try something else. If you have finished this drama and want to refute my review, please leave a comment! Like I said, I dropped after 6 episodes so I'm interested to know if the drama changes. I'd love to know what other people think :)
