Beyond Great

This drama is it! This is what you are looking for if you want a good story, acting, and keeping you on edge every episode to find out what really happened.

Justice was served to the viewers who invested time watching this masterpiece. There is nothing major I would say needs improving but sometimes the viewer can get a bit confused on what's happening but don't be overwhelmed by that and all the information provided to you because if there's something you don't understand, rewatch the scene and it also could be that the scene will be better explained in later scenes so maybe that was the intention. That's the fun part of the drama; to keep guessing.

Give this drama a go. All actors portrayed their character's beautifully and the storyline was great too. I liked the partnership of the main lead detectives and it was amazing to watch a drama that was not giving me an obvious suspect because the people of Manyang were all suspicious to me eventually.

The ending was portrayed beautifully. It had such a great closure. 11/10 ..yes 11 stars.

Better Than What You May Think It Is

Let me start off by saying I've watched Alice. If you liked Alice, you'll for sure like this and if you didn't then... you'll still may like this.

So, Would I Recommend This To You?
Yes. As a matter of fact, I will be rewatching this with a family member because I know they will like it too.

What Is The Rewatch Value?
If you take a break and watch it again, sure that's fine but I don't think you'll enjoy it as much if you watch it instantly again.

Good Plot?
It was an amazing and original concept considering it's involving time travel where many new dramas are experimenting with modern time travel and the production team pulled it off.

Any Romance?
I wouldn't watch it for the 'romance' but the couple have cute moments but the main focus is the actual story and not just the love emotion.

Great Acting?
Both of the actors were great. It didn't feel like acting if you get me. Their chemistry was great and especially offscreen too as you can see in the BTS videos released on Youtube.

What Is Your Rating And Why?
I think I've been giving every episode a solid 9 because I thought maybe there could have been some things that could have been done better and I will leave my rating as it is because I feel that although the ending was great, I would have liked a few more scenes to conclude the story more properly but it could be that the team intentionally left it like that for us to raise questions on what actually happened.

Entertaining

Spoilers- read at your own risk.

My thoughts before it aired:

I didn't know about this drama until maybe 2-4weeks before it's air date. I was really excited to watch this because of the actors who were casted as main leads. Their visuals in the poster arr awesome. I watched a few dramas of Kim Yoojung's and like 2 of Song Kang's that I didn't get to finish (not due to his acting but possibly because the stories weren't for me) so I had a rough idea on what to expect from Kim Yoojung's acting which I like.

The intro song:
This intro song has made it in to the top 10 intro songs that I'd never skip because wow.

Storyline:
The overall concept was good especially the first few episodes and the first half of the drama was really amazing. The second half of the drama was cool but I think that the story could have been filled with more awesome twists and possible new storylines could've benefited the drama for example if Do-Hee became the demon or was the original one somehow but as I'm writing this review, I think with the route that the drama went with was actually good because then that twist would've been so obvious.

That annoying side character:
There is most likely always an annoying side character trying to interfere with the main couple's relationship in most dramas but thankfully, here, she wasn't really evil but at times unlikable and selfish but was tolerable to an extent. I liked how her character developed and her story ended.

The main couple:
Cutie Pies. 💓 Awesome chemistry. Good casting. They need to be in another drama again after Song Kang returns from his military enlistment.

Favourite scene:
Trying not to spoil this but the stair case scene and how they got there was epic.

The last few episodes:
They were a little bit slow paced but that didn't really make me think 'I need to stop watching this'. Also, there were two times when Do-Hee behaved strangely for me and they were when she saw Gu-Won collecting his deal towards the last few episodes and when she 'protected' him at the end of episode 15.... I was thinking girl.... you know that he's a demon and that's what he does and also he has powers to protect himself. So, to answer this myself to give that an excuse, I thought okay let's just say it's just human instinct because she never saw him collect deals before properly and that action she did to save him was purely instinct aswell.

The last episode:
The story pretty much concluded in episode 15 or you could the beginning of episode 16 because we got our main lead back in like the firat 15 mins or so of the last episode which was great and the remainder of the episode (pretty much 90% of it) was dedicated to their happily ever after. I am glad that this was the case because usually in most other dramas we only get like 2 mins of a happy ending - 10 mins if we are lucky. There was no rush to conclude this drama on a positive note because they gave it plenty of time and that'l was awesome. One of the best things of the ending was that Gu-Won remained a demon and he actually liked being one and he didn't magically become human just to please viewers or that Do-Hee didn't become a demon somehow. They both stayed how they were and basically just loved each other. It was a bitter sweet happy ending because he'll outlive her but still finished on a positive note.

Should you watch this?
Completely your choice.

Was it a life changing drama that I will remember for years to come? (*ahem ahem Moon Lovers*)
Probably not but that's not to say that this isn't good.

My overall rating for this drama is a 10 because I genuinely enjoyed watching it and the anticipation of waiting for it weekly and omg the tiktok edits were so fun to watch.

A breath of fresh air

So this drama is amazing.

Acting:
On point!

Music:
Decent

Storyline:
Rollercoaster and engaging. It's not entirely predictable because you can't guess what skme character may or may not do and what side they are on - which is why I call this a breath of fresh air and also its the first time I watched Esther take on a serious role and she nailed it.

Chemistry:
I'll be honest. I started the first episode without any expectations and a few episodes in, boom the second leads chemistry was burning. its an extremely slow burn for them. I wasn't really watching it for the main leads - just the story tbh.

This is quite rare.... I actually liked all the actors involved in the drama as they did superb acting especially the little kid Young Master Xue was it?

I would love a season 2 for this because I feel this can't be the end and pretty much all of the characters need a proper closure and a lot of us have many unanswered questions of what ifs.

Seven Dramas in One!

I was looking forward to this drama for many months. I read the book partially and didn't finish it because I wanted the ending to be a surprise.

I can't compare the ending of the drama to the novel obviously but I will share my thoughts on the drama as it's own.

The Main Leads:
Their chemistry is amazing. They have many cute and adorable moments both on and off screen.

The Story:
It's an amazing concept of finding one's true love again. However, I feel that may an extra 30 mins, a episode or a special clip would give a better insight about the ending-It's not confusing but as a viewer, you want a proper closure and not just one where everything wraps up in 2 mins with the leads.

I think this is a problem not unique to this drama but Cdramas as a whole. That's why I gave it a 9.5 stars when I've been giving every episode a 10 star up until the semi rushed ending.

The OST:
There are some nice OSTs in this but I don't know their names. Without any spoilers, my favourite is the most dramatic sounding one so guess it.

The Shengling Duo:
I just wish we got more time with these two on screen together.

Endurances:
You have to endure the annoying prince aka Xiu Ming. This guy is handsome but I don't want to be distracted in the drama plus I didn't like his character but I did feel sorry for him once or twice.

I couldn't care about Jin Lou's love story tbh.

Would I watch this again? Probably
I just wish there was more episodes for each lifetime because honestly, each lifetime would've been epic as a separate drama.

I am so looking forward to watching this pairing in another drama.

Lastly, to all the people who bullied YCY for her acting, she has improved and just because you are behind the screen, it doesn't give you the right to do that. Critic, yes. Bully, no!

The drama I would have waited for but got lucky because it was airing already!

To start off, I love the colourful bright poster.

The drama was amazing. I can't really say that a lot about the dramas I've recently wat
ched (not just korean) because I don't have the motivation to finish them but for this I was waiting on edge for every episode to release until the last two because I didn't want it to finish bit I also wanted to know how it ended.

I'm not going to say oh wow it says a 10 star ending but it's a 9.5 stars for me because I feel like an extra 15 / 20 mins or a mini special episode would have allowed a proper good bye for every character for Ha Eun Gyeol to meet for the last time.

So this next tquesfion always comes up with time travel dramas/movies. What happened to the versions of the characters before the time travel took place? Is that simply another timeliness now or they simply don't exist? It can be argued either way. So many questions related to time travel but as a drama, this was fun to watch.

I would so recommend for you to watch this.

This is actually a 10 star watch overall for me but I'm rating it a 9.5 stars considering I feel like a little extension to the ending would have been a bit better but it wasn't bad either. It was a good ending.

Amazing characters

The drama starting off good but towards the second half it felt dragged a little bit but its okay. I wasbt too into tue romance with this one but who cares becausei doscovered Kim Bum and oh my gosh his character is cute and adorable. I more specifically enjoyeded his story and character development and relatationship to itgers like Yu Ri and Soo Ho. The main leads were aweaome too but I feel the stort didon justice to the romance in the second half.sort of fizzled out for some reason as I didnt get the vibe but the actors were amazing. The imoogi was good. Lee Tae Ri was a surprise for me in the drama as I didn't expect him and he did superb. Definitely give this drama a go and get passed atleast 3 to 4 episodes.

Give it a chance

I am glad I gave a chance to this drama and I liked it. The acting was great. The leads weren't awkward with acting like some other annoying characters in other dramas. The story was great but there were some scenes I just questioned and a few towards the end were rushed but I overlooked it because I generally liked the drama and finished it in just over 2 days. If the writers, producers and directors had touched up a bit more on some scenes, I mave have given it a 9 or more stars but I give it 8.5 stars which is still good. I was hesitant to try it but give it a go.
