Yes, I would say so PaoPao, The stakes weren't really high interms of facing formidable villains and the mystery of whos is out to kill the prince etc; as the reveal did not match up to the mystery they build. If you just watch the glimpses they play at the end of each episode for the leading next episode is more than enough to get the gist of it.
Or you could just watch some random few episodes inbetween that should do it.

Pretty Good first half , 6,7,8 episodes got draggy and not that interesting. The last scene when his friend woken up from hospital has gotten all emotional . As many pointed out , stakes and emotional connect is not as brilliant as the first season , Still worth a watch.

climax is not that great, and FL almost feels like she is trying too much like a girl who is in love with a guy. attempting him avoid decided fate. Otherwise its a good gripping thriller. Son yeo jin the epitome of beauty

Story is great, Time travel felt kinda executed in a way that did not excite most of the time, but it made way for interesting twists.
One major let down for me, is that the ML character doesnt have a good chemistry with the female lead.
Felt second half went way faster and without lag than the first half.
climax scene confused me as to how he figured where his brother and went to rescue him is left to our intuition.
Does it mean that the loop wont start again , so his fate of what happened to him in 1993 wont happen ? Left me puzzled with those questions.

Watched 3 episodes, Not that interesting . Nothing in that that kept me engaged, story, leads etc; Dropping it.

Live up to your name - is one of the best ever in time travel theme , absolutely satisfying watch that one. Such a crime that they had to come with this underwhelming title name, might not evoke interest to most people reading the title. This is a Gem that need to be treasured . True to its Genre and done right with screenplay , storyline, acting cast in everyother way , its so praiseworthy.

Beginning and endings episodes were good , but the mid ones got draggy and really boring , mostly fillers between 8 to 16 , they could have made it a 12 EP series.
Chemistry between the leads completely lacking interms of having feelings of love for each other , but can get the sense that they cared for each other and throughout it seemed plutonic.
Thinking whether it could have turned more romantic had they casted different Leads ,
If you had already watched the top lists of dramas from the historical themes , this might feel underwhelming to some and almost FL acting as a Enoch already there was great drama exist with same theme.
Anyways , its a harmless watch . i give it a 7.5/10.

I dont recall any chinese drama that i was able to connect emotionally for the attempts that i made to watch in the past. i feel like its a lost cause, but still , would like to give it a chance.
Could you give me 5 top recommendations ???

Thank you for your views, these days it's hard to find a drama that holds it together for the entire 16 eps.

Got boring after 8 episodes, there no proper payoff or emotional connect with characters, love portions also doesnt feel that great.

It was great , the story was engaging and screenplay was tight, although it felt a little dragging at the end. Also too many villains hard to keep up . The major gripe was although she acted well and loved her acting in "The glory" , it kinda felt this role is not for the Female lead.
Anyways when it comes to historical dramas , it pretty much on par with all the great ones with respect to twists and turns. 9/10

First 6 episodes were good , The kid's mom missing case was around 4 episodes turned out gripping , then comes that drug racket case , which was bearable till around 6 eps , then that gaslighting case was so not interesting to watch , i was constanting skipping fast forwarding and finally decided to drop at EP 10.

missed it by 14 days, watching it on kisskh

It was pretty good till 6 episodes, watered down and lost the interesting narrative after that , just seemingly fillers, what could have been followed as one among the ranks of weak Hero class , in the end if fell flat and made me give 7.5/10.

supremely boring, couldnt connect to story or characters from the beginning , couldnt even tolerate one single episode.

First episode was pretty good, The Child actress was so adorable and super cute and engaging to watch , next comes the second episode with the teen school female lead who is super cringe to watch and doesnt sit well with me the way she acted was not organic and doesnt resonate the kid version is anyway. The story is not at all engaging and i usually give atleast 4 episodes a shot for any drama before dropping , this one i am dropping at 2.

Characters are not that likeable , story and crime investigation is not that gripping to keep watching. Felt like a chore. Dropped at EP8.

Heartbreaking and poignant . Made me shed tears obviously. in some weird way i was okay with how it ended , not sure why , the similar troped had me bawl intensely to the point of getting headache and felt completely unacceptable in the past , Not sure if its just for this one or i am outgrowing myself of such emotions.

Couldnt connect with story or emotion. The japanese people's dialogue an their face reaction doesnt match at all making it hard to feel or be immersed in the story . It rarely connects and this one didnt sadly. Dropped after episode 2

God Damn, if the drama is as good as the last few episodes , it would have been fantastic , Nevertheless end made it satisfying.
Adult actors have done a fine job compare to young ones for me . The story of the young life going back and forth with current one was getting tiring at somepoint that i almost wanted to gave up around ep5.
Finance breaking down and crying realising she never was and will be the first choice was heart breaking.
I rarely connect with any Japanese or chinese dramas and this one thought it had some disconnect on emotions for me , overall it was worth the watch.
