This is a creative drama with unpredictable plot and a touch of fantasy and romance. It is a perfect combination of suspense, humor and human emotion.
I really liked the plot of this kdrama. I haven't seen anything like this before and it was interesting to see how the story panned out. There are so many characters involved in the situation and it was shocking to see how interconnected they are. A minor detail can affect an event in the life of someone else.
The cinematography was also very beautiful. I found many of the setting of the scenes or the shot very pleasing to the eyes. I have many screenshots saved because of it.
The characters that were created were fun and entertaining to watch. Hong Joo was pretty weird but in a good and fun way. Jae Chan was also like that. It was fun to see how brave he wanted to be seen when deep inside he doesn't really know what he's doing with his life. He just tries his best. Woo Tak was a wonderful addition to that. He was kind and adorable and very precious. I loved them all. Each of the actors portrayed their roles wonderfully and they had a good dynamic with each other.

Some good thing make this show worth a watch. The premise of the dreams actually is quite involving and plausible. Fun seeing things come together. The cases are interesting and cleverly constructed to blend in with the characters. The background story is intriguing too. So at least 2/3rds of the show is involving.
Faults: the romance is unconvincing and the cutesy parts are annoying and cringe worthy. Lee Jong Suk acts a bit silly here. Some of the gestures the director makes him do look very effeminate and out of place for a romantic lead even by 2017 standards. Totally outshone by the scene stealer Jung Hae In as the cop who acts well. Suzy Bae is pretty but she is too big to act cute. The villain is quite well played by Lee Sang Yeob. Some parts could have been shortened. The ending is very complete at least. Lots of closure.
I strongly recommend this drama, like it's 100% a must watch!!!
Although I'm usually picky when it comes to TV shows and movies, this special one is my second favorite Kdrama of all time. I binge watched it and was done in like 2 days.
Anyways, the chemistry is real my friends; Lee Jong-Suk and Suzy had made me feel envious for the life of me. They managed to show us a great performance that made all of us feel emotionally overwhelmed. I doubt the storyline would ever get you bored! the cliffhangers of every episode will make you more than eager to know what comes next. I wouldn't want to spoil anything but this drama also taught me some life lessons that i would never forget. And the most interesting part is that the story is different, new and deserves very much all the recognition it can get. Also the directing and editing and all that stuff is just amazingly pleasing and highly professional.
Truthfully, i can guarantee you that this show will find its place in your heart and settle there for quite a while, if not forever.
everything for me (cast, storyline, acting, filming,..) is: 10000/10

This fantasy, romantic-comedy with lots of drama was excellent. I loved it from start to finish: The writing was great, the actors were great, the musical soundtrack was excellent. It shows how people you meet throughout your past life may leave lasting effects and feelings that may play a large role in your future. It shows how your choices and actions can affect your life and those of your friends or family members, or even someone you pass on the street. Bae Suzy, Lee Jong-Suk, Jung Hae-In and Sin Jae-Ha were amazing as the cast and their portrayals of their dreamy characters were spot on. Lee Sang-Yoeb was so bad. And Kim Won-Hae was as always his best, I have seen him in several series and he never fails to bring laughter and tears to my eyes and he didn't disappoint this time. Loved it and recommend it to anyone who needs a good laugh or a good cry.
