Keep your regrets short but remember it for a long time.

Plot: A woman who dreams about future events and no matter what she does, she couldn’t change it, until someone did. Although the plot may seem weird or too favorable for the flow of the story, the cases were interesting enough to move forward.

Acting: The other main leads shone brightly than the couple, their chemistry was off as well. The female lead can cry but the emotion is not in place for me. Her line delivery is sometimes awkward, probably because of her mouth and it makes her acting awkward as well. While the male lead tried to be silly but had some unconvincing or unnatural facial expressions. Even so, Suzy Bae and Lee Jong Suk still did a decent job in most scenes.

Music: I love the Ost/bgm especially Henry Lau’s.

Rewatch Value: I might not rewatch but there could be some scenes people may find rewatchable.

Overall: 8 stars for the comforting message and goosebumps moments. Mr. Choi made me cry a lot and there were also some scenes that I found relatable. The series was frustrating initially because their decisions were kind of contradicting but fortunately, every episode ended up nicely. They keep having these dangerous dreams, and they try to change the flow and yet they still think about not sharing it or brainstorming about it. It’s like they haven’t learned anything from their experiences. Luckily, it ended up in a satisfying way or somehow acceptable. Jae Chan didn’t have to find the earring to prove that Hong Ju was lying about not visiting him in ICU because clearly, they had a conversation before about him punching her when they were younger, and she was the one who remembered it. There were some bothersome events like hiding stuff in a very obvious place or stealing phones and left it open all day that could make your eyes roll. The ending was not memorable as well. The inconsistencies of the plot could be a turn off to some but since I enjoyed the dialogues, it didn’t affect my overall rating and feeling for the drama.
