A frog that couldnt leap out of the boring well.
This is such a bad script , nothing engaging , characters are hard to root for and non interesting .Super boring , had to constant skip and fast forward to finish it.
Good Things: visually very pleasing and great cinematography and locations , First time i watched a korean series in my native language "Tamil", I kept switching to find if i miss something in translation , but it pretty much conveyed the same.
The Bads : Not sure that i was intentional when they parallelly showing past and present i thought its the same characters that are aged , Atleast i was like somewhat okay with the decision of him deciding to cover up the crime , but when it revealed its not the same person , it did not make any sense at all , him trying to cover up this heinous of an unspeakable crime , especially when the evidence was that obvious.
That evil lead character's obsession with that vacation house is not justified and a simple phone call would have shoed her away , but he did , instead he took plot stretching illogical long route to drive away by inviting other guests .
Finally that female lady cop, They way they hyped her up with the dialogues as to how perceptive and sharp she was , but all she did was to wait around it the finally episode and pretty much did what even a rookie could do to caught her.
This is a waste of time story wise, but just for the visuals , we could just fast forward and watch it one time.

Boring Grocery list of a drama
Drama made young ML as super memory genius who is not afraid in the face of injustice but the adult ML is a washed out many times exam failure wimp of a guy made it rather disengaging to root for him.Although it is relatively new and refreshing to see ML as non dominant and macho presence of a character, the likeability factor turned out less for me.
in contrast they made the FL a super adorable who understands and roots for the ML and cherished him for 20 years, she is so loveable for me.
Young child actress Yul was super adorable and great acting .
Story however rather bland and crime and investigation was not interesting.
Especially as most of them pointed out in the comment, as soon as they introduce the villain most of us could easily guess he is the bad guy as he was clearly givin of one.
Most things are loveable , the hardworking mom, supermarket , rooftop house ect; however the screenplay and story went down the drain , eventhough the other characters had potential to have a depth they fail to keep me interested as well. The veg is so beautiful, fish is charming, part timer girl is badass vibe but there wasnt scene to make them loveable .
Anyways i actually went to because of watching the FL from awaken drama .

Ugly alert's ugly truth
The First 10 or so episodes are done phenomenally, it evokes so much emotion and had me crying a lot.The child actors are fantastic and as hard as it is to pull through i wish the adults carried over the young actor's traits , but i couldn't see that in them.
The lead's story is the one made me stick to the drama around 40 episodes , after that it got down right boring.
I pushed myself to kept watching till episode 60 hoping it turn out good , sadly none of the side stories were interesting which made the drama so skippable.
I was frustrated and started skipping every 10 episodes of the 60th to no surprise i have not felt i missed anything at all when i went from 70 to 80 to 90 to 100 till 132.
As a silver lining the last's episodes last scene got me on emotional tears, where all of them back to their childhood home with kids of their home and playing with spraying water just like in the beginning episodes made me choke a little .
I had high hopes on this drama as it was portrayed one of the best in the long format dramas, But this does not come close to "My only one", "I have a lover", "My golden life" .

Glad i listened to my heart to watch this
This is surprisingly fantastic . The Leads chemistry are off the charts . Although we have seen similar ML characters like combative and fighting with FL , this has done with such taste that i was able to enjoy the ML role that he doesnt come of like a criminally torturing FL.The chemistry between the Leads are super sweet and i dare say this is the one drama out of hundreds of Kdrama i watched the love triangle nailed perfectly , in retrospect i would say (Wok of Love ) also done it in a non threatening way.
Loved the story and how the leads found comfort in each other arms.
Definitely will watch it again in future.

A 1998 song played in 2023 to most of our liking.
Having watched this completely , i have to say that this has impressed me and enjoyed it.Episode 11 had me confused a while , i just had to convince myself that i understood that somehow.
Female Lead whom i did not like it in Vincenzo and dropped that drama near the end.
But this one she completely outshined with her acting range. OMG , the way she switched her acting to portray two different characters are amazing , i am actually convinced that i am literally watching two different person with same face performed those roles. That how good her acting was.
Its a great casting all around, A unique time travel theme , it really demanded the brain to be working too much to comprehend what's was going on with the timelines and loops at certain times.

An Affair that can be forgiven not forgotten !!!
Most of the side stories are boring,But i quite enjoyed the part of the two ladies who dropped in current time from past and shocked and surprises they encounter and their reactions.
As everyone stated the climax is kinda felt unsatisfactory considering how they ended the Mother ni law part.
Anyways , skipping the boring parts and watching the one that engaged me , i would say i am glad i watched this despite the ratings the plot intrigued me and it delivered what it promised.

Spell bounded by Son Ye Jin 's Beauty
Son Ye Jin the Queen of beauty , damn she looks ravishing as ever.i would say her presence has really shouldered the movie and was cute,adorable and funny.
There is a huge potential of it being spread out to be 16 episode drama.
I love FL is upfront about the kissing, so sweet.
Gosht part was kinda felt a little distant until they shown that necklace flashback, that was good.
Best of all the climax where coworker tries to convince the ghost recruit for the gig was real funny.
Really enjoyed.

Moment of Sweet Teens
Such a sweet , heartwarming school drama. The story had me hooked since the beginning and made me care about about the characters, great job on that.The actors are pretty good , male lead is a good casting and his mom is so adorable , all the friends characters and that bad guy , Class teacher and his supermarket part timer girlfriend all of them did an excellent portrayal .
Only gripe is that the FL could have been someone else , i felt she lacked the charm and the chemistry a little .
Although the scenes made up for it , i felt she might have been replaced with someone else could have made me care for their love even more . thats how i felt it.
Anyways , that last ep 16 about the Mom's situation broke me into tears and scenes were done nicely to keep me choked and tearing up frequently till the end.
Overall , a satisfying watch.

Watch it for how to value the time and what can you do with it.
This is fantastic most heart warming , tear jerking , motivating drama. I have had minimum of hundred times emotional tears hearing the dialogues, thats how powerful they made the performance and conversations to be.The choices ML makes and explanations he gives really a eye opener for me that made me wonder as a dilemma what would i do in those situations.
one thing which turned out to be super cliche and unbelievable was that the DanBam chef who doesnt even have any culinary experience and had been criticized for making poor dishes, Turned out to be Best pub contest winner against all best pubs in the nations among all other experienced and talented cooks , cmon give me a break .
Eventhough i was unsure how to feel about the Soo Ah character and most times i even felt bitter and kinda hated her, I would have still preferred if she and the ML got together at the end , which would be much more satisfying since he has waited and maintained celibacy for 15+ years in her life for him.
YI soo although she made a good performances and been a vital part of the success , the chemistry was really lacking between the ML and eventhough i felt they should be lovers in the beginning, in the end my mind changed and i was rooting for Soo Ah.
it was literally the title of the drama and the plot summary had made me put this on hold for 3 years from watching even though i knew this drama is a huge success.
Anyways i am glad i watched this and totally a worth a watch just for how Good they portrayed the ML role and stood up for Goodness in the world.
