Tomorrow with You (2017)

i really loved this drama so
it's really underrated

1st what encourage me to watch it without hesitating that i watched
(beyond the clouds) & i loved it so much,
so i searched for another dramas for the same writer (Heo Sung-hye)
& he didn't disappoint me at all
if u loved (beyond the clouds) drama then u definitely 'll love this one

the only thing that i couldn't understand well that at the beginning of the drama i thought that there were only 2 (Lee Je Hoon) the present & the future one, then i got surprised that there were 3 ..
past, present & future
i got confused a little by the dates & the 3 characters

but that didn't stop me at all to finish it

it's really smooth, simple & very heartwarming with lots of touchy moments

although there were not much events in this drama but definitely not boring at all (in the contrary)

it's talking about a time traveler man who wants to change his destiny
then he knew that his destiny was related with some woman he must find,
at the beginning he found that she is not his type at all
after a while he falls for her madly & struggling to save her & try to change what estimated for them

really highly recommended to those who love rom. drama
i really enjoyed it much

Tomorrow with You is pure romance. Even if you do not really care about the time travel aspect at all and just love romance this could be a great drama for you. Right now I am forcing my siblings to watch it because I think it hit the spot so awesomely. So, far they enjoy it.


Time travel is at time a hard thing to get right. Sometimes, if you use time travel too much in a drama it will end up not being even suspenseful and the audience will get very tired of the fact that all situations can be solved with time travel. If on the other hand you use a lack of time travel it will become only the backdrop of the story and your story could have easily gone without that backdrop. Instead, you need to make sure that your story could not work without time travel but not everything can be solved by time travel. Make rules and stick to them. Do not change them at the last minute.

This story got time travel right. Plus, it had a creative way to put in certain elements that left us intrigued on what was happening next. The casting although at first I didn't understand grew on me and loved the romance. Overall, this is a drama I would watch again and again and never get bored. It's sweet romantic and has the element of time travel!

I thought this would be a drama about time travel, however I did not think it was the main focus, but attention I think this isn't bad.

Let's face it, Tomorrow with you has a slow story at the beginning, but that all events will intersperse in the future and that everything, even everything in the drama has a reason, and it's worth being mentioned.

The romantic part of the story was really the most realistic I've seen to this day in dramas, I found a bit lame all their actions "where is my wife?? " But I laught so hard it was very funny, so I thought is not lame is cute they are cute. The drama dealt well with this relationship and its gradual development.
Aside from the problem that will lead to the action itself, I found that this drama speaks much more about the fact that we ourselves, who do not travel to the future, but are still worried about it, and that we will somehow forget the present, when we need to be happy.

The actors' work was very good, of all of them, the emotions were there and I loved it. The as the chemistry between the main, and everyone around them have a good relationship.

As for the soundtrack, yes, I liked it, it's composed of calmer but well-played songs.
Rewatch Value? Hum maybe with someone you have not seen.

This is a really good watch. I loved the storyline. I wished I could be a time traveler. I love this kind of storyline. It had me confused so I really had to go back and rewatch some of the episodes a few times. I get it now. Going back to the past and then going to the future had me so confused. After I figured it out, I was into the story. This is one of those dramas you can’t skip any episodes, or you will miss important parts… or ask yourself “why did this happen?” I really loved the two main actors/actresses, Lee Je Hoon (Yoo So Joon) and Shin Min Ah (Song Ma Rin) did very well. I felt sad for Song Ma Rin… I cried somewhat. I have to applaud Shin Min Ah for taking a hard role to play. If you see this drama, you will understand why I said it. I applaud the writers, directors, supporting actors/actresses, and everyone else. Thank you!

Perfection!

I didn't have high expectations of this drama at all. I just had an instinct this would be really good because it's Shin Min-ah after all.

It is slow paced and melancholic and I love it just the way it was. Watching these kind of dramas makes you feel you are journeying with the characters and not just watching them. You feel every kind of emotion they invoke.

I never really noticed the soundtrack because I am so engrossed with their lines and acting. This is one drama I never skipped a second even once. I've seen hundreds of dramas now and even top grossing ones sometimes would have scenes that are repetitive or frustrating you just want to skip it but in this flick, I want to savor each and every scene. Even the flashbacks, are not tiresome, you actually wanted to re-watch it.

The last episode was amazing! The first few minutes will give you sad vibes feeling this will have a tragic ending. When Ma-rin's dad made the sacrifice, you'll feel really blue but then a few minutes after that you'll laugh out loud because they'll be talking about sperms the next scene.

Jee-hon and Min-ah's chemistry is perfect! ?

Lay It On The ♻ Line Time After Time °VG°

Is Tomorrow Another Day After all?

This drama is tense and could trigger anxiety in some - Fair warning. While it could (SHOULD) have been better, I would still say hop on the train and give TWY a ride. True, the ending wasn't that difficult to figure out. Despite that, the director still manages to set the tone with tension being a focal point. The pressure continues to gear up until the very end.

Ma-rin prefers to be behind the camera now, and in TWY her pain is framed explicitly; Shin Min Ah is superb. All the actors did a solid job, and the side vignettes are all enjoyable. Lee Jeong-Eun has such luminosity: She shines once again as Mar-in's mother. She is one of my favs. (Check her out in Oh My Ghost-10; odd title, amazing show - Some of her scenes are astonishing. Her portfolio has impressive depth of field and is jammed with highly rated shows and movies). The villain's storyline works well enough, with the actor delivering a tangible portrayal of his descent from a respected businessman-to-murderer with unfiltered evil saturation. Yes, he was originally a little crooked, but that wasn't in anybody's viewfinder.

I've noticed that Kdramas often show individuals who experience a marked character arc. Often these persons have a skewed aspect-ratio, and are initially cringeworthy in bursts of nervous awkwardness. Since these dramas are mostly 16+ hours, the characters may not start to improve for many episodes. The directors have a long time to build up or distort who the individual is. They can then put the focus on slowly developing protags from black-and-white to full RBG color.

Ma-rin is like this. Her over-exposed childhood kept her adult self shuttered in a darkroom. She had become so insecure that it was actually challenging to watch her in the first few episodes. In time, she has a wonderful transformation from dull to glossy. It is satisfying to see how she develops into the model of a confident and strong woman by the end. One might say she bloomed into a picture-perfect flower.

So-Joon also enlarges as a person. While he's clearly good-hearted, he is also a portrait of immaturity and laziness in the beginning episodes. He later becomes patient, caring, harder working, more responsible, and more loving. Since his time-traveling exploits make operating his business so easy, it's doubtful that his lazy streak will be completely edited out.

The two leads initially display a lack of chemistry. It actually seems that So-Joon is just using Ma-rin. His motives are blurry. He is an enigma, always with a matte look on his face. The director deliberately injected acidity and unease into their relationship so that we can watch it develop. The viewer is concerned for Ma-rin. Eventually, we can be happy for her. By the middle of the show their marriage is the image of warmth and love.

Ultimately, this story, and the love this couple shares, is quite charming. Like a photo in solution, TWY progresses from indifference and hesitation, to warmth, then love, and finally to sharply detailed commitment and intimate love. (Though they are adorably still too shy to strip in front of eachother.)

I adore stories about time travel. They are so much fun, but logically it's easy to encounter under-exposed plot points. The show is not without those. Why So-Joon would go near the subway on the day that he knows he'll disappear is grainy logic. I also don't know why he would take Ma-rin to the fireworks. It's not clear why his focus wasn't to get them out of town, or to not leave the house for a few days. It's a little frustrating, actually. It's understandable for the plot development of a time travel tale. A plethora of miscommunications and a catalog of flawed judgments are practically necessary, and fate always shadows Kdramas. If Mar-in's father, Doo-Shik, had jyst been more candid with So-Joon... if they had each opened their apertures a little wider, it would have been a panacea. I suppose, then, the show would have been wrapped up by episode 8.

The optics regarding time travel get distorted. In some scenes the future is pictured just as So-Joon observed from the past. Seemingly the message exhibited is that the future is set and laminated. In other scenes, though, they manage to change the future, suggesting that the future is a moveable pose. It's also unclear why So-Joon, after recovering from his coma, couldn't get back to the past when riding the subway, or why he was able to run on the tracks and get to the past. It makes no sense, at all, that the two men can time skip, while Ma-rIn cannot.

The very end displays a small snapshot of their lives 3 years hence. It falls flat with a dull thud. I didn't like the tone of their bickering, and how Ma-rin was nagging So-Joon. A little of it would have been okay if they had pushed by it right away. However, it's portrayed as entrenched behavior.

Earlier, when they had been fighting and later separated, Ma-rin concluded that she shouldn't have been so pushy towards So-Joon. She determined that she should reset her meter and back down from her insistence that he not ride the subway. To see her revert back at the close of the show is disappointing. And where's the kids? We were promised 3 kids!!!!! Instead of petty bickering they should have committed the 3 kids to film.

Now we'll point the zoom lens at one of the worst screw-ups. The director left the So-Joon who managed to get to the past hanging there. That tasty mystery should have been a resolved. So-Joon-in-the-past flashed by the screen twice - like a cartoon character - and then faded away. How could they not know that we would want to know how he got to the past! Something should have changed because of his presence there. Since he knows he somehow shot back to the past, it would make sense for him to work harder to get back there as it would have been easier to remedy their situation from the past.

Another thing they left out of focus was an explanation as to why So-Joon was in a coma. Per the doctor, there was no reason for him to be in one. The doctor shouldn't have said it if they didn't intend to explain it. (Shoot, did I miss it?)

As another reviewer so deftly put it: 'It took 16 hours to learn to not run into a busy road.' Mar-Rin shouldn't have been anywhere near that intersection at that time. Since they were there, So-Joon should have been holding on to her. If they had filmed the scene at normal speed, if she stopped and turned briefly when the certificate flew out of her hand, it would have played better. The way they chose to film it makes Ma-rin look very foolish.

The flaws might be more than minimal, but the good comfortably outweighs the bad. If romance is your thing, especially if romance and time travel are among your interests, than TWY should go on your watchlist. My "7" rating translates to "very good." It may not be picture-perfect, nevertheless, there is beauty to behold as time goes by.

This drama was something unique, something i hadn’t seen before. When i started watching this drama it was honestly mostly just because of Shin Min ah, but as i kept watching it, i actually came to like it quite a lot.

When i saw that this drama was described as a melodrama i thought it would be boring, but although it is a melodrama the characters are quite quirky and fun and there’s actually quite a lot of comedy in this drama in general for a melodrama, which made it easier to watch. I know that a lot of people said that they thought it was sad, and although it's not the saddest drama that i've watched, i definitely felt the tears coming at one or two scenes in this drama.

Story:
A time travelling CEO sees that his future is looking tough and marries a failed actress to solve it. Although the plot wasn’t played out the way i expected it would be, i liked the drama. I love the idea of the drama and seeing him travel back and forth in time and trying to fix things and change the future for the better was just really interesting, and you’ve gotta love "Bap Soon". The only thing i would say is that i feel like it's sorta slow at times, but not to the point where it becomes a problem.

Acting:
The acting was great. Shin Min ah was amazing as always and Lee Je hoon did great too, i hadn’t seen any of his past dramas so i didn’t know about him before watching this, but i sure will watch some of his dramas now. The romance was great to, the chemistry and the kissing scenes were great, and they truly acted like they were a real married couple.
Overall the casting was just really good, i didn’t have a problem with any of the actors or actresses at least.

Music:
Very fitting to the mood of the drama, nothing i would listen to outside of this drama, the ost’s are just kinda slow, but as i said, it fit very well with the mood of the drama.

I started this for Lee Je Hoon, and then I stayed for him and Shin Min Ah. What a beauty! I'm a little in love with her now. (But not him. I will not admit to anything). 

I'm also in love with Song Ma Rin, whom Min Ah brought to life so beautifully. Ma Rin was such a mess at the beginning, the former child actor and drunkard who was always humiliating herself. She wasn't totally pathetic, though; she told people off and stood up for herself. Sometimes she gave me secondhand embarrassment and was a little annoying, but I never hated her. I could sympathize with her. Then she blossomed into this confident professional, achieving a dream that made her glow with pride. She really earned the name flower girl ??

Ma Rin was the girl with a difficult past, So Joon the boy with a bleak future, the two of them united by a single tragedy. Their romance was as sweet and heartbreaking as the one in Tunnel, where a man fights to leave the future to reunite with his wife in the past. That one will be my forever favorite, but this one comes in at a close second. These two were also disgustingly cute! It was excessive, but still very endearing to me. 

I'm still a little confused how So Joon became a young, rich CEO but it's hilarious how he never did any work! Like Ma Rin he had his unlikable moments but I found him fascinating: how he got so wealthy; his time traveling; his stoic personality. It was that stoicism that made Je Hoon's performance as good as it was, he just looked cool. 

The male and female wardrobes were incredible but Ma Rin definitely gets the edge because of those sweaters + coats. 

I think the Yong Jin storyline could have been handled a lot better, it added danger & mystery to an already complex love story. I wish Doo Shik's storyline had also been explored in depth. 

Besides the convoluted plot and other issues, I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to! It made me gasp, cringe, sigh, cry...all in all a good time.

I am impressed how much i ended up liking the show!!

Ok so I will keep it short...

When I fist heard about this drama I wasn't really sure if it would be my cup of tee. But then I still decided to watch it.

First I wasn't too hyped up about it, but after watching it till the end,, I am so glad that I did watch it.

The story in my opinion is different from the dramas I had watched before. Even after watching it I fist only considered it as an OKAY show,, later on the OST kept on stuck in my head as well as the story. In the end I just re-watched the drama again, and again. By now I have a watched it 6 times and I am happy about it.

So all together,, I really recommend this drama to everyone. It's cute, the story is amazing, a little different and I actually liked the ending. :))

The concept of time, has been overly used

Pairing Shin Min Ah and Lee Je Hoon is such an amazing on-screen couple to watch with. They are two of the finest actors in the industry and they did well portraying the right emotions of each of their characters which are perfect for being the main leads of the show.

The thing is, I am not a big fan of time travel, and maybe the main reason why I felt bored watching the whole show. Yet, there are other dramas with similar concepts that hooked me. So I guess, it all ups for the flow of storyline to spice things up. Which, Tomorrow with You failed to accomplish.

They have their flaws that are too obvious to just let them pass by. And the ending, it is too bland for an end.
