I created an account just to talk about this show. The premise is interesting, but what let's the story down is the dumb & illogical decisions made by these supposedly super smart people. I'm only half way through so will see how it goes

This drama has all, comedy, drama, sci-fi, action, suspense and many travels through time. This drama will make your head spin too much. One of the best of this year 2020. I love the actors too.

The first-half & the second-half of this show are so drastically different in presentation & story-telling, that i feel inclined to seperate the review & rating for each part. The first-half is very interesting & has good-character development. I genuinely felt interested in the plot, and the excellent chemistry & unusual attraction between the lead male & female characters. The show keeps a decent pace & spark through this phase & recieves a 9/10 from me.

Now the second half was where everything fall apart. The director was trying to be unpredictable, and ends up ruining his own introduced concepts & relationships. There is an excess of dislikable plot-twists & things just don't seem to go in the right direction anymore. There are also plenty of goofs & obvious plot-holes present. This phase recieves a disappointing 7/10 for me.

Overall, i could even it out at 8/10, but the second-half left a poor after-taste in my mind, and hence, i cannot overlook it. This show had a lot of potential, but the director screwed it up for me. At least the ending isn't too bad, but left me wanting more.

Like other reviewers, I found it an interesting concept but to me the last 2 episodes just fell apart. They left more questions unanswered and left the ending as unsatisfactory. As someone who reads the subtitles I wonder if something was lost in translation

No one can fault South Korean tv for airing such an ambitious science fiction show. Tv doesn't often mention Paul Dirac and Schrödinger's cat. Thr first seven episodes are pacy with a fascinating time travel premise and one of the most 'unusual' sort of romance I've ever seen. But then everything changes with several huge plot twists and an ending that seems more like the writer just ran out of rod than something that makes sense. The intelligent writing and plot just gets confused and the characters seem to change personality without any reason.

Still oy's worth a try if nly to see how good science fiction can be made with minimal CGI.
