Good but could be much better.

4/10

It was good but I expected much more. (in terms of closeness, e.g. kissing and hugging, cuddling).
(Unfortunately, it was forbidden to kiss what I find very sad and I don´t understand).

My Favorite Couple was Chang Min & Jung Hyun.

Not good!

3/10, dropped.

The couples were good but the implementation of the series was unfortunately rather poor. The Ending was not good. Acting was very good.
Btw i would have liked to see more of the affair. That was hot...........

Disappointing frontline responder drama

After watching First Responders, I missed it so much that i thought this would alleviate my longing. Boy was I sorely wrong.

The dramatic started off well enough as it was amusing and action packed but then quickly descended into the usual tropes: three way love stories, corrupt politicians, mafia, rouge hero law enforcers with tragic pasts…

For a drama called the Han River Police, they spend less than 25% of the drama ON said river.

Also for a 6 episoder, it really dragged along. Why is it First Responders can go on for 2 seasons with 12 episodes each yet this is so draggy at a quarter of the episodes? It had better NOT have a season 2!

Definitely worth the watch when you want to watch something feel good.

I really enjoyed watching this, it was a really sad and heartwarming story. You feel sad about what happened to Seo Ri. Especially after being in a coma for 13 yrs. When you experience her journey of her trying to get her life together after that tragic car accident you also witness the other people who were also frozen in time as she was but they weren't so fortunate to be in a coma as she was. She remained innocent and pure which could be a blessing and curse due to the fact she was asleep for 13 yrs while the other people she met who were affected by this tragic accident suffered severe ptsd. They all didn't know they were connected by this one tragic event, Seo Ri unbeknownst herself after waking up from her coma started to heal the people she lived with to be awake and live with the trauma of the outcome of the accident. Her pureness of still being a child mentally and emotionally started to heal Woo Jin and Jennifer who were victims as well of the tragic car accident only by knowing the people who were direct victims suffered from severe ptsd. Seo Ri helped them learn how to love again and helped them heal while they were frozen in time. They felt like they had to protect Seo Ri cuz she was so childlike they couldn't help but feel like they had to be there for her. She was still mentally a 17 yr old when she woke up cuz that's how old she was when she went into her coma. When she finally did wake up she was 30. Seo Ri had a really hard time coming to terms with the fact she was no longer a child but an adult when to her the accident was recent and not that 13 yrs had passed. So you get to witness that which makes you sad but you feel how everyone grows to love sweet and innocent Seo Ri you feel the love that follows her. Even Woo Jin's nephew who is 17 seems to be wise for his age for someone who isn't so bright. I think he had to grow up when he saw his uncle having severe depression and made 6 yr old Chan grow up. So even if Chan didn't know it, he was also an indirect victim of the same car accident cuz he grew up witnessing his teenage uncle fall into a deep deep depression cuz his uncle blamed himself for Seo Ri's accident. Chan managed to convince Woo Jin to Seo Ri stay with them so she can be able to get on her feet and find her family cuz when she woke up she was all alone. You will really enjoy the ending too it was such a good ending. The only thing I couldn't stop thinking about was very minor plot holes cuz even tho Seo Ri was asleep for 13 yrs and didn't know how to use smartphones cuz they didn't exist the way we know them now when she went into a come around 2005 and the modern smartphone that we know it know came out in 2007/08 like iPhone and android, she still knew how to use the computer and the internet. She asked Chan to use the internet and looked confused at Chan handed her an android phone, so when she started to use a laptop they had she used the internet, I can't fully remember what exactly she looked for online but what kept bothering me is that she never once looked up to see where her family was or her friends. If she did look up family I don't remember but I kept saying if she knew how to use the internet why wasn't she searching for her family and friends you would see Woo Jin constantly looking up information on Seo Ri's family and friends but never saying anything until near the end of the drama. I think the reason why she never bothered to check cuz the nurses at the hospital she stayed at lied to her for her recovery but it still bothered me that she never even tried to see where they could be. Like even not to go directly to her High School to meet up with old teachers but I guess the writers didn't think it was necessary to the plot. So that's why I brought up it's just a me thing. Anyways I hope you enjoy/ed the drama as much as I did it was super cute and I hope I can find another drama similar to this cuz I left feeling really satisfied with the entire story which is rare for me.

My brain hurts...

Don't hate me because I didn't love it. It's a personal taste thing. I liked the acting in this. I also like that this has convinced me not to go back and try to watch Some Day or One Day. I'm apparently a superficial watcher and don't want to have to think too much. It's a shortcoming, I know, but there you have it.

I love me a good destiny show, but this is the first time that I felt like the universe was trying to tell them that they should NOT be together. Together, tragedy, together, tragedy. I guess the ending had to be the way it was, but I was disappointed in the lack of payoff. Though it did border on a happy ending, which I appreciated.

And what was with her telling everyone that she was time traveling?! Her telling the murderer guy was random. I didn't get the impression that they were that close, and just why?

I actually made a flow chart to try to keep up with this while I was watching it, and even that confused me. My biggest problem was when the two versions of the ML met. That just didn't make any sense to me. Also, the random gay storyline (though seeing Rowoon and Ahn Hyo Seop together on screen was a treat!) was confusing, because weren't the two versions of the ML the same in each timeline?

I now need to find me a simple love story to watch. Since I'm WAY in the minority here, you might want to read everyone else's reviews and give the show a try.

Gets better and better BUT..........

The first thing that I want to say about this drama is do not judge/drop this drama just by watching the first two episodes. Only in episode 3 or episode 4 you will get a better understanding of the drama and you will start to like it. I think few people will agree with me regarding this matter. If you feel that the first two episodes are great and did not get bored while watching the first two episodes then you might even give this drama a 10 on 10.

Then again the story isn't anything new, we have seen this kind of "rich ML" and "hardworking FL". But the actors tried to make up for it. Well, yes! even though the story is something that is very common there are few elements in the drama that are quite refreshing like the ML's mother's character and the SML's character. But this drama is not boring at all. It is such an enjoyable drama even though there are minor flaws.

The acting is good and yes, we all agree Miles Wei is an amazing actor and he nailed it in this drama as well. I am not a big fan of FL character acting immature and being all cute(except for Esther Yu LOL). So I just can;t say that I liked Xu Lu's acting. But I respect people who think differently, well end of the day it is just a matter of interest. But I felt that except for Miles Wei and SML everyone else could have done better. The leads have great chemistry!! And one thing i can't stop talking about is the healthiest relationship b/w the leads. A big thumps up to the team for the relationship portrayal.

And here we enter to the most commonest and cringe part of the story ML's friend who tries to intrude into the leads relationship. But who can do anything when our leads have the strongest bond hahahaha. So yeah, I would like to say that even if you don't watch this drama it's not like you are missing out on something but if you:

->are a fan of Miles Wei
->are a fan of Rich and Smart ML and Cute FML
->are a fan of good chemistry b/w the leads
->have nothing new to watch
->want to watch something that is not complicated.

Then yes this drama is for you...GO WATCH IT :)

PS - Nothing new but Enjoyable.

I just wanted some happy endings

This drama gave me alot of happiness till around episode 28, I would rewatch some of the scenes again and again and my heart would flutter whenever the ML and FL were interacting. I didn't want the show to end. I really loved how sweet and gentle the ML was. Their relationship was just the ideal kind of relationship I would love to see in a drama.

I honestly was expecting a fluffy happy ending to complete my happiness, but I didn't expect it to end this way and leave a bitter taste in my mouth instead. I truly think it was unnecessary. Why would FL go through alot to bring him back to life, only for him to die again? Couldn't it just end there, with them living their remaining 27 years together?

I will miss this show anyway, and I know its impression on me is going to last for a while.

First half- fun filled , second half- mystery !!

Personally I liked the drama since i was watching some heavy intense dramas along with this. This drama isnt perfect , it tries it hand at two diff genres and somewhat manages to engage us.

Story - Its unique plot, but there are non linear stories of different characters so we need to be patient to find out what is what. The surprise turn of events in the last few episodes to suspense was quiet new in kdrama world and honestly it kinda works here, though there are plot holes here and there the story is engaging enough that u can overlook them in casual viewing.

Cast- Not gonna lie ..have been a fan of Lee Minki since he appeared as a band member aged ago. Han Jimin is good and Su ho is apt as the mysterious sun woo( they could have let him live ...) and all the supporting cast esp Noona guy, ok hui and the police team leader..etc have done a great job. You are able to belive that these ppl are neighbors residing in a small town where everyone knows everyone atleast superficially.. ;P

Overall you can watch the drama once for the hilarious 1st half and can continue and finish it till the end. Don't expect any overtly romantic track from ML/SML and FL..but the elderly one and the noona one are good.
