Why do you turn intelligent and adult people into immature adolescents?

I think it's time for Korean screenwriters to grow up. They know how to write great action scenes, plots, and moments of surprise, but I don't understand why adult romantic scenes often end up with adolescent behavior. The actors are +-30 years old, and the characters are as well, so it should be age-appropriate, not throwing themselves around on the ground and kicking their feet. I'd like to see a couple confess their love, kiss, sparks fly, fireworks explode, and then look at each other like a holy picture during the next episodes. I wouldn't be afraid to go into bolder scenes. The actors can do it not only here but also in other series. We are in the 21st century. If they can make people go after each other's throats out of hatred, why not something normal, natural? Find a balance somehow. Otherwise, the plot of the series is good. I like the actors, the secondary characters are also great. Just don't turn intelligent and wise adults into immature teenagers.

Sadly worse that I expected but with some really nice scenes

Song Kang did not impress me as an actor here as in Love Alarm or Nevertheless. Even in Navillera, he had his charm. I think it's because he's young and they're making him even younger. He's great in serious moments...I enjoyed them. Even the funny ones can be good and then there are embarrassing scenes that don't suit him and he knows it and everyone can see it..or not and it just bothers me. And I didn't like his hairdresser and make-up artist. The main female character was better. She thought appropriately, rationally, and soberly. In my opinion, the last episode was unnecessary. No creativity in how he came to life. Or should they let him die..he wouldn't be the first or the last. The side characters were awkward. I don't like this very much, it takes away points from the series, and people's IQ has just decreased. Fortunately, there were also negative characters and they balanced it out a bit more. I was expecting some secret story about the demon's son, but nothing. I missed it. At least there was a secret contract with the young woman's father..:)

Be more bolder, pls

This is the first k-drama I wished it had more episodes. More episodes - more couple scences. They deserved more intimate, personal and beautiful scenes. One of the best couples from my latest seen shows. Great chemistry. Moon Sang Min is such a passionate and charismatic actor. And I am so happy that female lead is so funny, intelligent and active. ??One star down because of a very quick ending, and after one year meeting it was without passion between the main leads. Separately they were sad but together something was missing. Maybe some scene which would lead them close to each other. Meeting after one year should be full of secret pain and love they had to held inside. And it seemed to be unrealistic that the grandpa would be waiting (so long) one year to give them a bless.

Deserve to be seen

The unbelievable has become a reality. The main female character is not sensitive, romantic, sweet, or crying, but rather a guy in a female body. That only men can dominate women, control them, cheat, and do whatever they want? She gave them back nicely when it was necessary physically, too. Having encountered hypocrites, liars and cheats in her life (and her father, the great patriarch, did not respect her mother or her), she did not trust men and just used them and did to them what they did to other women. That's when a guy comes into her life, about whom she mistakenly thinks the same thing. Since he doesn't like women. He considers women as gold diggers, who want to secure themselves financially and then want to kick the man out. The main female character is emancipated, brave, strong, wise, clever, and independent, which freaks him out so much that he stares at her. She wants to take revenge on him for the insulting words of women, but gradually everything gets confused when they have to pretend a relationship for the media. He discovers that he has feelings for her, and she is the only one who does not have panic attacks. She also discovers that she met someone who admires and respects her. There are many comic situations in the series, the chemistry is great, and romantic scenes are finally braver and pretty. Colleagues of the main woman character at work could easily be more visible. The main character's best friend was a bit of a drag about courting and dating. I thought he would be more dominant. Thanks to the cameramen and editing, the show is colorful. Really nice to watch. And the soundtrack is very nice.

Extraordianry game with time. Nothing and no one is the same.

My idea about this series: After the first episode, I thought it would be a pleasant relaxing series where we have footage from the present when something happened and we go back to the past and the story tells us what and why happened in the past and also in the present... Reality: I was more and more out of it with each subsequent episode, I was yelled at sometimes in the 6th episode, totally psycho... who is who and at what time it happened, because the times didn't fit at all, neither the characters nor the names. From a pleasant relaxing time, it changed into a brutal game with time, storylines, and characters. I devoured this series in about two days. Thank you for releasing it into the world with all the parts at once. If it were done gradually, I would probably snap or stop watching it. The casting was 100% successful. Acting skills were at the highest level. This was the Ahn Hyo Seop I had been waiting for for a very long time. Not the artificial, conceited, most stylish one like in Business Proposal, nor such a bunny as in Abyss, or in 30 but 17. He suited me better in Lovers of the Red Sky but here in A time called you, he was perfect here from the first moment to the last. I enjoyed every scene with him. Also, Kang Hoon surprised me even more after The Red Sleeve. The boys did a great job playing both student and adult roles. And Jeon Yeo Bin was also awesome. How action-packed and funny she was in Vincenzo, here she was incredibly emotional and cared about every detail of her characters. Anyone who has seen Memories of Alhambra will surely recognize Min Jin-Woong, who he played as Hyun Bin's assistant and good friend. In this series, however, he got a completely different character, actually several characters...each different, but refined. I recommend watching this series when you have enough time to watch it continuously. I had to rewatch a few things again to better understand the storyline.

Everyone gets what deserves

For me, the first TV series that Song Hoon suited very well. Maybe he has just matured with age and as an actor, but he entertained me here. Apart from him, I didn't know most of the actors. The casting for negative characters was excellent. Stepmother played her role awesome. The main female character was sympathetic. The transformation from a "gray mouse" and a poor woman to a woman seeking revenge was great. The lies, fakes, exploits, insults...etc. The concept of the accident, return in time and the fateful meeting/love was super contrived. Although, on the Big Day, I expected it to be something more to explain: the sign on the hands and why they had it. And the screenwriters were more daring with the romantic scenes. They were very beautiful.

historical modern drama

Historically modern drama, where I was happy that Bae In Hyuk is in the main role. Overall, Lee Se Yeong is very good at historical dramas. When she got to the present world, she was out a lot, but she could have been more :D. It had a lot of funny moments and a nice story. But then again, I was disappointed that two adults finally kissed, and after that, both were like adolescents. I missed the adult approach. Also, I didn't understand two things: how Bae In Hyuk's heart problem was related to her being in the present world (he already had an issue with the heart and also underwent surgery). She had to come back, and then he miraculously healed. And that picture of her locked away at his grandfather's like a treasure. If anyone has an explanation for this, let me know please.

There is something interesting about Kim Young Dae...

I enjoyed the historical plot and the plot around the main characters and was always waiting to find out. Historical flashbacks were exciting. For those who like historical fated love that magically meets in the future, go for it. A little spoiler: The series depicted the life of the main character in the past, who did not belong to a high-level family by blood, and was trained by his "adoptive father" to do dirty work. And when it stopped being useful, they would have him killed just to get what they wanted. With his life on the edge, he was no longer afraid of anything ... because his death was his redemption from the life he had to live. He will make you feel sad. And finally, the woman whose family he had to kill, and she luckily survived, got into his hands. Over time, the relationship where she hated him, despised him and wanted to take revenge on him, and his outwardly neutral to indifferent attitude turned into understanding, pity, and painful love. The real-life (present time) could be without someone who came from the past to make a hell among the main characters. Especially, when it didn't occur to the main character for a long time that who could come like him... the main couple had something to deal with even without him. I would skip the additional happy ending after some years. That is beyond the real heroes. Kim Young Dae was great in this show. I saw him for the first time in When the Weather Is Fine, where he immediately caught my attention. Then I saw the Forbidden Marriage, where I thought that even historical ones fit him. And here in the series a total combo of both. like the historical love story and the main actors. I give a lower rating because of someone I won't reveal, who came from the past.

missing romantic connection from female lead

A nice story with a historical basis, which went into the future and again into the theme of past/future lives. The theme of being cursed and turning into a dog after a kiss was funny and there were a lot of funny moments related to it. I take it as a minus that after 200 or so years, the God of the mountain did not overcome the loss of a loved one and started playing his ugly game there... I would have expected a slightly more mature character. The reincarnated young woman was more intelligent than him. Besides that, the chemistry between the main actors somehow did not suit me. Cha Eun Woo was cool... I trusted him with everything. Maybe it was the script ... The writers really shouldn't be afraid to go into little bolder scenes. Or not to play it on lovers like they were 15, but they are adults.

It has bigger potencial...but...

I give 4* because of Jo Han-Chul. I only know him as a positive character, and here he gave such psycho-switched scenes that I was incredibly fascinated. The other characters did not significantly surprise, but they did not disrupt the series either. I know the I-love-you-but-pretend-to-hate-you type of relationship rejection is corny but I enjoyed this Lee-Seung Gi fest as well as the constant bickering between the main characters in the beginning. The character of the clever and wise main female character is great. Perhaps the chemistry between the main characters on the part of Lee Se-Yeong was a little lame for me. Lee Seung-Gi was great and played it really well, but I feel that it was somehow cold from the female character's side. More emotions went out of her in The Red Sleeve with Lee Jun-Ho. On the other hand, Ahn Dong Goo was throwing such glances here that he deserves more space and scenes :). Overall, it was a fun watch, had a lot of funny scenes, and dealt with important legal issues along the way.

Yun Ji On is the best!

(It contains only a slight spoiler). At the beginning, the series introduces you to the life of the main woman character, who lives with the ability to hear when someone is lying. That would sometimes suit everyone but only sometimes. She hears the lies all the time. And this causes problems in the family, she basically isolates herself from other people and friends, except for the two who work for her. She cleverly builds a business on her skills and uncovers lies for clients as a so-called shaman. This job of hers brings fun scenes. However, a new inhabitant of the neighboring apartment intervenes in her life, who is mysterious and always wears a veil covering her face and avoids people. To her surprise, she discovers that he is not lying to her. But gradually it is revealed that her new neighbor is a publicly known person, a music composer who is hiding from the world because he was suspected of murder in the past. In the series, we also encounter the corruption of a policeman by a politician. And we have another policeman (a very nice actor), an ex-boyfriend of the main character, who doesn't like something about the main character. And it happens that both the protagonist and the policeman investigate the past and look for the real perpetrator. And as usual, the ex-boyfriend suspects the current one, and the current one suspects everyone, except the real one, because sometimes we don't see what's in front of us. Everything would be great. The main character, Kim So Hyun, is pleasant and the role suits her. Hwang Min Hyun was sometimes super mysterious, and confident, but sometimes reserved, and scared. I couldn't move a little in it. I liked him so much in the role of mysterious, charismatic, but self-confident with quick reflexes and with a sword behind his belt (yes, I guess I can't get rid of his fight scenes from Alchemy of Souls :D). The chemistry between the main characters is okay but I needed somehow more and what bothered me was that the creators did this again: after the main characters get close, the first kiss falls....and then they treat each other as if they are 15 years old and they look like as if nothing happened, or they are shy and it's embarrassing. Why do this with adults? oh ... for this, I'm lowering the rating, they could have grown up to this... but what I appreciate the most is Yun Ji On (the main character's best friend). I saw him for the first time in the series Tomorrow, where he impressed me so neutrally and I thought, hmm, quite an interesting actor... But here he wiped my eyes out. Brutal acting, and charisma, he looked so great there. Perfect. I was so captivated by him. Every movement, gesture, look, tone of voice, sentence ... everything was elaborate. I went through everything with him and I kept thinking to myself, how could someone live such a life and suffocate everything? What was it good for? This character in the series has led to many questions and controversies, and because of him, this series is worth watching.

Main leads were so cute

I love watching how Rowoon grows up and I'm already looking forward to what he has preparing next. From the beginning, it bothered me that the make-up artist overdid it with his make-up. It seemed so artificial to me. And yet the series started so super dramatic and mysterious. Later, the plot of the series overtook my focus on his shiny flawless skin and I stopped researching him so much. The height difference between the main actors cannot be overlooked. I believe they had a lot of fun because of it, too. The female lead is not exactly my type, but she had a surprisingly positive effect on me in serious and especially dramatic (historical) scenes. There was great chemistry between Jo Bo-ah and Rowoon, and the funny moments were so cute. I must also mention that I was pleased with the secondary characters. Favorites from Forecast: Love and Weather and He is psychometric. An interesting combo that nicely diversified the series. They could have improved the soundtrack a bit. I love soundtracks and I wasn't impressed here.

What is behind K-pop

Such a great game with the audience. Doona's memory scraps heighten the viewer's curiosity to know more. It differs from classic k-dramas as we know them in terms of plot, visualization, and script. Suzy Bae was a surprise to me that she embarked on something more serious, more psychologically demanding. Yang Se-Jong was perfect. The last time I saw him was in 30 but 17, where he was fine, but here he exceeded my expectations. He can be funny, but also incredibly sensitive in serious scenes. That relationship / friendship and funny scenes are pleasantly entertaining, but it is Suzy Bae's character that hides secrets and a story. And it is here that you have to pay attention and watch why she lives the way she does and thus look into her past as a member of a K-pop group. And here we get to secret places that the common human cannot see. Anyone who knows a little about how K-pop groups are formed and trained is not surprised. And the fact that because of her small "misstep," she was actually put to the house where she was hidden and lonely, where no one knew about her, is also not new in the K-pop world. If you don't know anything about K-pop, I recommend that you find something out first so that you know that their life is no joke. And music industry agencies have everything in their hands. Most episodes in the series went slowly but smoothly. Only the last two had a rapid turn, so the viewer has to focus more on the plot because each shot can mean a jump in time. In the finale, we see a pair of ordinary people who have formed a normal couple and live together vs. the central couple, which ended indeterminately... the end is basically up to the viewer... what makes me anxious with such endings... so if there was at least some shot that after x years when her contract ends, what would it be... The series has an atypical 9 episodes. The creators didn't unnecessarily drag out the story, even though I wouldn't be against it. Finally, the best soundtrack songs for me are Daylight from BIG Naughty and Ordinary Day from Suzy. I wish I could see her singing this song live.

Would you like to remember your past lives?

I give 5 stars for the beautiful scenes, story, and cast. I found Ahn Bo Hyun a little awkward, but that's probably the character of the series. For me, a slightly more active character type suits him better. And I would cut his hair right away. Looking at him made me wonder if he could see through that hair and if he really didn't mind :D. And definitely less makeup. Shin Hye-Seon is an incredible actress for me. I don't know why, but it happened to me again that I thought this series would be bullshit and boring. But I was really surprised. The secondary characters were promising and had engaging and dramatic scenes. In the last scene, I was embarrassed for them too :D. I was expecting a slightly more adult approach. Nevertheless, I would like to see Ahn Dong-Goo in a series where he would be the main character. The storyline was excellent. Flashbacks to past lives and remembering the past kept me on edge. I think this series will make everyone wonder if there is reincarnation and what it would be like to remember past lives. For me, definitely do not remember the past lives.
