I remember being excited about this drama because I really loved the manga it's based off. Unfortunately, this drama just didn't do it for me.

The first few episodes were good. The actress who plays Miku is really cute! Miku and Hayato were my favourite characters...and I wanted them to end up together because I felt like Hayato deserved a happy ending. I couldn't really sense any chemistry between Souhei and Miyuki or between Souhei and Miku...

I wish the drama had stuck to the original story - there was more depth to the side characters Takki and Kiyoka - they actually have background stories and plot! But none of that was shown here. I actually like the character development shown by both Miyuki and Miku in the manga, but, again, this wasn't really shown in the drama.

It was a real struggle to get through the rest of the drama because I kept comparing it to what the story could've been and found the plot and characters utterly lacking. I'm really disappointed in this drama. :(

This is one of those dramas that warms your heart and makes you think about life and youth. I'm jealous of the friendship between these 6 boys - they may call themselves a band, but really, they are a family. For me, this drama is really about those defining moments when you grow up and start becoming an adult.

I thought the acting was well done by everyone. The music is amazingly catchy - I've been listening to Jaywalking and Wake Up on repeat since I finished watching the drama!

I thought this was one of those rom-com dramas like You're Beautiful, but it was a real tearjerker. The ending really touched me and I have no idea what to watch next because I keep thinking about this drama and the EyeCandy boys.

Definitely recommend this to anyone who's thinking about watching it - if you like a moving story about life, friendship and music, this is your next drama!

I think this is my first 'marathon' drama - 30 episodes over 2 days. :)

I found the drama started off interestingly, but tapered off in the middle in terms of action. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention, but I thought some of the plot points went unaddressed at the end. I was hoping for more resolution with some of the characters...especially the President/Father and the evil Mother.

I didn't like most of the characters. I thought they had a lot of potential, but were wasted in the end. For example, the second sister, Ja Rim, doesn't do much in the drama. I was waiting for her to support Tak Gu, or even help out her family, or side with Yoo Kyung....but nothing. :(

This show has a lot of baking in it. I don't even like bread that much, but watching all the characters baking and eating made me hungry! I love that the hero works so hard. The one thing I didn't understand is that after the third timeskip (after Tak Gu has spent 2 years at the bakery) - how come he still doesn't know how to bake? Also, he just magically got along with Jin Gu, despite hating him for what he did? I don't get it.

The drama was good overall. I watched it because it came with high recommendations from my sister. I did fast-forward through some scenes in the middle, so I wasn't completely happy with the pacing. But if you want a light melodrama and if you like bread, give this one a try! :D

I was looking for a good romance drama to watch...and this one did not disappoint. I watched all 16 episodes over 2 days! I love everything about this drama - the story, the characters, and the romance. It was so believable that I might spend the next few days visiting some historical sites hoping some time-traveling heroes will show up! ;)

What I liked:
- The characters. The main leads were phenomenal. I loved Hee Jin - she is sooooo adorable and convincing. You can't help but root for her because she's so sincere and loving. Boong Do is awesome too! He's romantic and smart (always a good combination!). I like that he's a fast learner - adapting to modern time and scheming like a politician takes some serious brainpower! The other characters like Soo Kyung and Dong Min were well done - they were consistent in their reactions as the story progresses.

- The romance. This is so epic! I didn't think time-travel romance could be done well (it's like a long distance relationship but so much more...). But the story really made it work. I think the main leads had some great chemistry. ;)

- The story. I love sci-fi, so I was hooked with the time traveling aspect of the story. This story has responsible time traveling. I've seen too many shows and read too many books where the time traveling seems to have little to no effect on the future. But this story deals very carefully with cause-and-effect. The explanations given in the story are well done.

What I didn't like:
- The ending was a little too short for me. Probably because I love the story too much and didn't want it to end at all! :D

Totally recommend this to anyone who likes romance and a little bit of history/fantasy. Keep some tissues handy though - I was shamelessly crying through some scenes. :)
