    One of my favourite dramas!

    I had been wanting to watch this series for a while and was so happy to find it on Netflix recently. I'm a big fan of Lee Jong Suk and have been watching most of his previous dramas while he is doing his military service. This was a really well crafted story with excellent special effects and of course fantastic acting both from Jong Suk and Han Hyo-joo. There was loads of great comedy, romance, suspense, action and drama all perfectly blended as only Korean film makers seem to be able to do so well. Highly recommend.

    I recommend this to everyone!

    Amazing concept very well translated into the drama. The storyline is really intriguing and the way they've depicted it in the show is insane. Every episode ends with a Cliffhanger, you won't be able to stop. The leads have a good chemistry that can't be neglected. The drama is a rollercoaster of emotions, romance and thrill. It gets intense towards the end of it, a must watch!

    Definitely one of the BEST Dramas

    This is definitely one of the best dramas I've seen in a while, and I think it might just be my favorite yet, and believe me I have seen a lot of TV Series.. The acting is absolutely phenomenal and I love everything about this drama! The concept and plot is original and unique, and the actors have great chemistry. With each episode you keep getting pulled in by the story to the point you cannot wait for the next episode to come out. It holds a perfect blend of humor, action, suspense/mystery, drama, and love!! I never write reviews but I'm just so in love with this one that I want it to get the full recognition it deserves.

    For any of you considering it, I truly and highly recommend this drama!

    The plot

    An innovated plot of time shifting, attracting eye ball in the first hand. But as the story goes to the middle it becomes a bit illogical.

    Still an alright drama worth to be seen
