This series suffered from a common problem that I see in a lot of the Asian dramas...Bad genre-bending. What is "bad genre-bending"?....Put simply, this show had way too much going on, genre-wise. There was the central romance (the only good thing!), Science Fiction (flawed but interesting), Slapstick Comedy (ugh!), Mystery/Thriller (plot holes), Memory Loss/Medical Drama, some weird Russian(?) Mafia side-story (wtf?), Family Drama...you get the picture. There's just no way to cohesively tell *that* many stories at once. To be fair, I do enjoy a moderate amount of genre-bending but they need to trim 2 to 3 side-stories off this genre-monster. I finished it because I really liked the central couple, but I wouldn't recommend it. To anyone looking for a good Kdrama to watch I'd say, watch Healer instead.

The overall concept is really cool and I enjoyed watching most of the show. I did kind of feel like they were dragging the main problem a lot, which was a little annoying. The show is just a simple fantasy romance with a ...wait for it... lazy ending.

The plot was good and had promise, but the screenplay was a let down, the show cannot manage to capture the emotional attention of the viewers.

The show had a comic tone making it enjoyable until episode 11. But after that the plot just unravels in a disappointing way.

The love story portrayed was good and the actors take the credit for that since it's what keeps you finish watching it.

Won Jin-A plays Go Mi-ran a student who is working on an entertainment programme as an assistant and is in a shallow relationship with a fellow student. Ji Chang-wook plays Ma Dong-chan who is a tv producer at the same station and is in a serious relationship with a newsreader. Circumstances means that the two leads are to be frozen for twenty four hours in a tv programme exclusive, sadly it all goes awry and they end up not being frozen for a day but for 20 years. It is a clever idea and as a romantic comedy it is enjoyable because the actors do a convincing job of making the feelings between them believable. Some interesting side characters and stories which I think should have been explored to make it more interesting. Overall a good story but too many things going on and little background or depth given to any of the stories apart from the romance.

At first, it was very interesting with a great plot line but as getting towards the end, i felt that they were rushing the end.. The acting was a 10/10 and i love how Ji Chang Wook portrayed his character but the ending was a little unfair comparing to the acting skills.
