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.

Pleasantly very good

These are things that I find very pleasant about this drama that you might also.
1. The chemistry of the leads. I’ve seen both artists works in their rom-coms and they are among my favorites. They are so natural here. Thank goodness there’s not a lot of push and pull in their eventual come together. It’s actually quite mature and once committed, their screen displays are so sweet.
2. Story of small business development versus big isn’t new. It’s about dreams to stand out on own ideas and hard work. That development may be the gist of the storyline but it’s good enough to give us a look at the people. The side stories of the people around the leads adds are sweet and complex that adds flavor.
3. The “intruders” are not too complicated. You have the dramas where you’re seething from beginning to end practically. Not here. It’s very mild but you gotta have some hiccups somewhere right?

Who needs more complications when we have enough in our lives. If you’re looking for a drama that keeps you attentive to what’s next in each episode, especially in seeing a healthy beautiful relationship, then this is a good one to watch. Well, there are two more episodes during this writing but I’m convinced it’s a done deal drama. Give it a chance and I believe you will be pleasantly satisfied.

Update*********done with! As I predicted, to the end it’s very satisfying. Enjoy.

Love this Drama!

What a great surprise for me. I started off watching this drama because frankly I could not find anything interesting to watch. I thought I would give it a try for lack of anything else that seemed interesting and because I absolutely love Lee Min-ki. He is one of the finest Korean actors and can play any character, drama and comedy and extremely well. I also find him very handsome. I also enjoy watching Han Ji-min. I find her very pretty and also an exceptional actress. Sometimes though, you can have excellent actors but the storyline is not good. Thankfully it proved to be so enjoyable and I waited anxiously for each episode to air with English subtitles. I cannot understand Korean, hopefully one day I will be able to.
Also, I was hoping for a romance between ML and FL and it happened!!!

I recommend this drama to everyone that loves a good mystery and comedy.
A definite "10" in my book.

Underated Drama, too many negative remarks

First and foremost, I do not understand all the bad reviews about this drama. I actually quite enjoyed this drama and was definitely worth the watch for me.

Short Summary: A girl who has been trying to become a nurse suddenly has 2 baseball players appear in her life. She knew them both in childhood but lost her memories due to an accident. She gets mixed up in the MLs family, thinking she is the half daughter. At this time, the ML is still in love with her and not happy about the arrangement. The 2nd ML soon finds out that she is the girl from his childhood, but has to keep it a secret in order to keep her safe. This eventually leads to him falling for her, and thus starting our love triangle, and the plot of the FL getting her memories back and taking down the evil father of the 2ML.

This drama had a good plot. A good storyline to keep the viewers engaged. That being said, I definitely think it could have been shortened down to 20 episodes. But it was still enjoyable nonetheless.
For those wanting a love triangle.... this is the drama for you. I for sure got 2ML syndrome, and couldn't decide who I wanted the FL to end up with. Honestly, I was happy with both the MLs, but a part of me was still rooting for the 2ML. As we all do when we have 2nd ML syndrome.

For those wondering, it does have a happy ending, and I am pleased with how it turned out. For the rewatch value.... I'm 50/50 on this one. I don't know if I would rewatch it or not. I have a lot favorite dramas that I rewatch all the time, so I don't know how high this drama would be on the rewatch list. Especially because of that 2ML syndrome. But I might rewatch it if I'm in the mood for it. This drama, in my opinion is definitely rewatchable.

Oof, it's painful

I'm struggling to make it through this one. I can commend them for trying to make a "grittier" BL, but if I have to see much more of Boston's face I'm going to lose it. Also, no one is likable. Even Sand and Ray (who I'm still watching it for), are messy as hell. I guess if you can let go of the mess and just embrace the melodrama, it's fun. The acting isn't terrible and the music is good.
However, it's hard watching these characters come up against the same "stuff" that's been holding them back, over and over again, not face any real consequences of their actions, and then do the same thing all over again the next day.

Just don't show me Boston anymore.

mmm explotation with a side of stalking

Listen - I wanted to give this one a try. I struggled a lot with the premise, in another genre of fiction accepting the 'deal' would be the start of your own personal nightmare, not your own personal weatherman. I can see why people might enjoy this, it's got "subtle" (or maybe not so subtle) undertones of BDSM, but I think that even the most adept practitioners of this would say that consent is a big part, and this relationship is purely based on this guy exploiting an uneven power dynamic. It doesn't really get better, in the later episodes the guy puts a tracking device on his phone (but it's just because he loves him so much, REALLY). There's a lot of boring plot about the miscommunication that the relationship is built on (one party thinks that it's just a transactional relationship while the other party seems to be struggling to put into words how he's feeling - not surprising since he couldn't just ask the guy out, he had to come up with an elaborate scheme to have utter control over him). There's a lot of weird, controlling behavior on his part. In some of these BLs I'm willing to let it go, but this poor guy can't even see his friends without his stalker boyfriend showing up and dragging his ass home. I don't know, it's fine, I guess. I realize a lot of these things are a tenet of the genre, but it's getting kind of tiresome. It's not one of those that's really gonna make you feel ~refreshed~ after watching. It's probably just going to remind you of your college ex-boyfriend. In another universe, it's just 'Killing Stalking' with fluff.

This show is a masterpiece!

Okay, so this show is not for everyone, but please - if it's not your thing, don'y bash it. just step away kindly and let the unhinged ones enjoy their crazy. ty!

This show leans heavily into the absurd and if this is your thing, then I cannot recommend it enough.

The acting is excellent, the story is so much fun, and EVERY THING you see on screen is 100% planned and thought out. non of it is unintentional. The only issue I have is that not all the random mumbling is translated, so I hope it gets fixed because it is funny as hell (also quite easy to understand if you get basic Thai).

To sum up, this is not a 5.7 show.
