    Truly enjoyed the drama

    I will never forget the characters especially kang dong chul

    Quite good series.

    Overall it's a good series and I really hope it end well but its quite disappointing. The acting for the main character was amazingly done. And I really hope that season 2 will come but maybe it will not happen.

    Didn't watch the original !

    This show is about a detective that goes back on time. Thus, he needs to adapt his new situation, deal with the current life and find a way to go back to his life.

    The series is very intriguing because it is driven by mystery, comedy and an imagery atmosphere of the life in the past. This is blinded very well.

    Recommended.

    Awesome drama

    I really love this crime thriller drama. It has Signal (2017) vibe. You will fall in love with characters. The story between year 2018 and 1988 even though I don't fully understand the reason how Han Tae Joo can transport from time to time. But this drama will open your eyes as some of the cases are based on the true events ! Definitely recommended !

    exciting, out of the box! Worth watching.

    Generally, crime & investigation genre drama seems boring. Sometimes they cannot keep pace with the little cases or incidents inside the drama which create loopholes! But this drama is different! While watching the drama you will become a part of it, you will feel thrilled about each cases! Though it has crime, investigation : this drama is not boring or slow paced at all! trust me! If you love investigation drama with solid plot, UNPREDICTABLE cases, vivid thoughts, lots and lots of funny moments (will make you laugh harder, refresh your mind) unlike other dramas: go watch this drama!
