I personally like this series mind you I had low expectations because of the reviews that I have read however I watched episode 1 to 9 from morning to night and I was surprise that it got me hooked. I finished the whole series in 2 days and I was on edge the whole time because I just couldn't predict what would happen or how the character would react to difficult moments.
If you want to watch this because of the romantic LMH that you have seen in other series don't expect that here. There are some very romantic scenes but not a lot. Its not your typical romcom. I like the way he expresses love here though it's more realistic lets say compared to his character in The Heirs or BOF. When I watched those shows I always say no such guy exists.
Main comment is Its a complicated tv series even the flow of the scene is not typical. It starts one scene and very subtly ends that scene and you will think that was it. However in the next episode it will show an in-depth view of the scene. This is where I would say a lot of people think it was messy. For me doing it that way gave me that "ahhh" or "gotcha" moment while watching the next ep. Had the director and writer done it the usual way of doing the whole scene in and then a cliffhanger could have change the viewers perception. I like the way they did it but its not everyone's cup of tea. Reminds me of the movie Inception wherein there were so many layers to the scene.
What I like about it was almost every episode there is a "twists" and that got me. Acting was superb, I think they all did a brilliant job I was crying in a lot of scenes but the best actor was the 2nd male lead. He showed a wider variety of characterisation.
What I didn't like -- the ending - i wasn't happy with that "compromise" but that's just me (can't say much w/out spoiling).. Secondly like any other time travel/parallel universe movie there will always be loopholes look at Avengers for instance.
So many negative comments about the sponsored ad have you seen Goblin and other TVN shows they have heaps of them especially with subway brand. This is how tv shows make money and almost every hollywood film does this too so I wasn't very bothered with it. I have seen more blatant advertising

Well develop story compared to other versions but rushed ending
Reason to like this drama:The reason I got into Cdrama most of their shows have great character development and th story flow is on point. This series is no different. The character development is well made and outlined. If you compare this to the other versions e.g. Taiwan and Korean the love story in this version isn't a "sudden" or a rush occurrence. The flow of how the characters fell in love and the overall attitude of the people around them are more realistic than the other versions which is why I like this version more.
The Mediocre things about the drama: the acting for me is alright. It wasn't bad but not award winning either. The most heart wrenching scene didn't impact me as much as the other versions did. Not sure if it was the acting or the way the director portrayed the whole scene that it didn't impact me so much.
Disappointing things about the drama: the ending feels rushed. The way the ML and FL found out the truth about their misunderstanding was just "meh". That was the most annoying thing for me - it was simply an unrealistic scene. Like no confrontation, no realistic portrayal of such a huge revelation and most all the 2nd FL suddenly just accepted that she can't force love whereby for the past 3 years she has been selfish and greedy. She didn't had an ounce of guilt to what she did and the outcome of her actions and in a second she had a changed of heart?!
The 1st 24episodes are the most well developed and well written for me hence I sat down and watch it without hitting the 10 second fast forward button.
