My Perfect Stranger

Korean Drama " My Perfect Stranger " is a time travel mystery drama with a suspenseful plot.

The drama handles the time travel perfectly without overcomplicating things. The family drama was also quite touching and often offered a lot of emotional scenes.

The mystery, in addition, was intriguing and wasn't easy to guess who was the serial killer.

However, the romance was not necessary for the story, as the plot focused more on solving the criminal case, thus, having the two main characters sharing only a few romantic moments together, which didn't justify the love story.

On the other hand, the performances were quite enjoyable.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

The story is complicated and dynamic but never messy. The layer of the story is thick and strong, so the writer can go deep, get out, and direct other ways without confusing the audience. Everybody is suspicious in the beginning (even Yoon-young's mother and father), but it eliminates suspects list one by one and still maintains thrill and tension till the end. What a balance. I love humor and wit sprinkled on top of the very important subject with heart-wrenching narrative. Ironically, the first two episodes and the last one are my least favorite because they have some logical errors in the timeline, but the level of attraction and concentration once the writer and the audience share common understanding is another level. Every character matters and plays an important part in the plot regardless of screen minutes.

I found this masterpiece while searching the drama similar to watermelon twinkling, I'm glad I found this. This is really an well executed and we'll written drama.

All actors were amazing. Both leads are really a good actors. Without any kissing scenes and without any proper confessions we can feel they both are in love, here we can see the proper direction. No matter what writer write the story at the end it depends on director how he want to show the scenes. In that case he really did a good job.

When it comes to storyline it was also amazing you will glued to screen till the end of the drama, you won't get bored in any of the episodes. It has intriguing storyline!

Good drama for the Who-Done-It aspect of the drama. It's kind of corny overall with a time machine going back in time to solve the murder step by step but the twists and turns along the way with the clues that keep getting revealed make it interesting, although the violence in the show is too much for me thus not rating it higher. Could have been more romance between the ML and FL than there has been up to this point too IMO. Some twists at the end keep you guessing to the last bit, and more is divulged where the time machine came from and who the mysterious call was from when he first was using the time machine through the tunnel.

Okay, I literally didn't expect to like this drama, but... it's amazing, really amazing. The relationship between the leads felt natural and pure, no kissing and exaggeration, the acting of the cast was so good, the casting of their relatives was on point, everything is great. It's the first time I've watched a series where the choice of the cast was largely based on the resemblance between them according to the story. There's no cringey or forced acting in this series, the events flow smoothly and are well connected without dragging. Even though the series is based on a story that's supposed to be obvious and clear, it kept me hooked episode after episode, I was excited and it kept me thinking along with them. And finally, the beautiful and happy ending. I'm so glad I watched this drama.
