Anyone else feel like K-dramas these days don't give us the closure we used to love? It seems like we rarely get a whole episode showing the characters living happily and all the details of how their lives turn out. Instead, recent dramas seem to rush the ending, only giving us a few minutes or a quick glimpse of the future. I miss that satisfying, heartwarming conclusion where everything comes together perfectly. Though overall the show was really good, the way you fall deeply in love with the characters!! Seriously wanted a longer ending episode, so I could get a clear look of the ending!!!!

The best kdrama in 2023!! Finally after very long time I have watched a good heart felt and beautiful drama.

All actors were too good and their chemistry was so so amazing. Their acting though<<<<<<33333. I felt their emotions, I cried with them , I laughed with them, I felt sad with them, writer made us to connect with each and every character in this drama. Writer give importance to each and every character that was the bestest thing. I suddenly felt like I should learn sign language that shows how much this show has an impact.

Hopefully we can see this kind of masterpiece again and again in kdrama world.

If you are looking for some heartfelt romance with great actors then please go for it!!

I have watched A LOT of dramas and this was very special in many ways.

They have done a fantastic job mixing a lot of genres that I had no idea they could mix this well and seamlessly.

It is very emotional and deep, but then it's silly and super fun and lighthearted. Then it's beautifully romantic and you will love the bond and loyalty of all of their friendships.

And the most special part is of course the value of family and how our male lead is doing everything he can to make his loved ones change their fate to be the happiest they can be.

There's so many complex subjects and subplots as well, but it works so well. Story is well paced and the twists are great and not predictable. The characters are well written and rich in layers and development.

Honestly, the writers of this drama deserve recognition for this work.

The chemistry amongst the cast is fantastic in general but the main pair and their bromance ( or better said father and son) is unbeatable. I had moments where I was honestly crying of laughter.

I have been following Choi Hyun Wook and his impressive acting for a while ( specially in Weak Hero Class), and it's just very unbelievable to me that he is only 21. I can't wait to see more of him.

But I do have to make a special mention of Ryeoun, the display of emotions he shows playing this character is amazing, he made me cry a few times and his eyes were just pure emotion the whole time. What a performance.

Overall was an amazing watch and the only reason am not giving a 10 is because I feel the entire ending was a bit rushed, otherwise it is truly an outstanding drama.

I love every bit of this show, except for tiny one. Yeah time travel is an incredibly complex plot to cover and yes this show makes it seem like a child's play, therefore you should NOT except consistency in that case whatsoever, you'll understand me if you've watched 12 Monkeys or Dark. But this show isn't actually about time travel anyways. It's about friendship, love, family. It's about forming sincere bonds. It makes your heart melt in some scenes, makes you laugh out loud in some others. Not only do characters bond with each other but you as the viewer also bond with them. It can easily become anyone's comfort show. THAT is the reason I love it so so much.

But... Spoiler comes here, don't read if you haven't finished

I really couldn't bring myself liking their ultimate end. I understand that Cheong-ah comes from a wealthy family and she made up with her father in 1995 and that means her new future could change in a way. But I don't think they needed to become this forefront successful "business" family to be "better". For me their former family was also so sincere, lovely, and just as enough. They didn't have so much money before, but they had everything else. Did they really needed to be ultra rich and famous to be happier? In fact when I saw that they happened to become such big famous people as a family, I kind of dissociated with them. That is my only criticism and hence my rating. I wish we could see their new future condition in a more sincere setting rather then being exposed how they became high society. The writers really must have thought this is the most fulfilling ending: seeing them rich and having power. I couldn't disagree more. I would prefer to see them for example having their breakfast on a Sunday morning, in which I-chan's friends happen to be there, chatting and laughing together. But I don't know, maybe that's just me.
