That 1st one is what I'm afraid of since EP4, I think. There's only 4 episodes left, so maybe they won't do any stupid drama. I'm sure it's gonna mess up their relationship a bit, but that's normal if they won't stretch it out till the finale.

The 2nd part is pretty obvious to me. FL is not guilty and her ex-boss did something bad, and people will find out eventually. Companies do things like this in real life as well, btw.

The 3rd one is just basic Korean madness in real life. Many people still live in Joseon era.

I have another bad feeling about the show, and that's the 2nd couple. I'm almost 100% sure her sister who died, and her husband is the SML's brother.

If they don't do any of these, this can be a really strong Kdrama.

Yeah, it's a well-written show so far, but I fear, 16 episodes would be a bit too much. I'm still afraid a bit, because I know what's gonna happen soon, because of their past, and of course all the work drama. I hope this won't turn into another unnecessary drama between the leads. I'm kind of surprised they still didn't talk about much about the past, and only 4 episodes left, so there's a hope they won't do any ridiculous drama.

Because it's about the writing, not how long a show is. With more episode comes with more problems, usually.

They only do weekly if it's a licensed Kdrama or other show. Or do it in two parts, but I didn't read anything about this, so this has to be all at once. I prefer this option, because I don't want to see spoilers and I can binge it when I have time. Most Kdrama usually better if you watch it all at once and not weekly.

If you look at who's the director and the writer, you can tell it's not going to be like that.

This looks so good based on the trailer. The creative team is also promising, and of course the cast.

I doubt they can't buy the real version, they have enough money, and the original can't cost much more than the edited. The only reason I can think of is that Netflix will buy the original eventually, and people will binge it there. But I don't think Netflix will buy it, they didn't buy Queen Woo either and that was much more popular.

Frozen Flower is an old series, so I don't think that's a good example. Most Kdrama fans didn't even hear about that, I'm sure.

Thanks for proving my point.🤣

Why would anyone want to watch random people kissing or doing bed scenes in a romcom? Nothing you say makes any sense. You're such a typical kid, you don't like to read, don't like to watch meaningful stories, you can only focus for 2 minute at max.

If you don't have a real argument, why are you talking?

A romcom need a kissing scene? No! It doesn't add anything to the story, other than making fangirls crazy over it.

A historical drama can be made without nudes scenes? Yes, but if the story requires a real storytelling where the writer actually want to show how messed up a character is, it's necessary. If the scene is not included, you have to rely on your imagination. It's like saying we don't need to see how a character kills another, because it's enough if they just announce it that the characters were killed.

If you don't know anything about writing, please stop talking! I have a feeling you're too young to understand this anyway, based on your pfp.

Hon, read my reviews, I NEVER give lower score than 3, and I always write my fair opinion about everything. If I want to see nude scenes, or I only watch something to see boobs and sex scenes, I can watch porn. I love every genre, even ridiculous soap operas, I just finished a hot mess "Nice Guy 2012", because I love Moon Chaewon, but I didn't like the show. I love Sohee (your pfp) as well, but her "Gyeongseong Creature" was also a mess, especially the 2nd season. I only care about the story, not kissing, bed or nude scenes.

Okay then, please tell me what's the meaning of the kissing and bed scenes in romcom dramas. 😅

I didn't watch Queen Woo yet, but one thing I'll tell you. Those scenes meant to show you how messed up those people are.

So, let's remove every kissing and bed scenes in romcoms as well, because there's no actual point to see those, we can understand the story without it. Nude or sex scenes are not something like a porn. Most of the time it's actually meaningful for the story. Especially in shows like these.

I deleted my comment by mistake, but anyway...🙄

If they have a REAL opinion, sure, I don't care if they give -10/10, but pretty much all of them rate every mature show 1/10 because of the nude scenes.

Yes, people blaming others because they actually deserve it! They did the same with "Queen Woo" and other shows.

If you rate a show 10/10 because you loved a bed scene in a romcom, like in the new overhyped mess "When The Phone Rings", but you gave 1/10 to this show for the same reason, your rating doesn't mean anything, you're a hypocrite. You don't care about the story, you only want kissing scenes and hot actors.

I wish we could bet with real money on how people will rate a Kdrama on MDL, I would win a lot of money. 😂 I knew people will rate this much lower, because of the nudity. Even tho they got the "KID VERSION". Funny how the same people give 10/10 for "When the phone rings" because they loved the bed scene, but here, it's a problem. So many Kdrama fans are hypocrites.

I don't care about nude or sex scenes, but man, when artists have to release two different versions of their work, because some people acting like Saints, and calling every scene a "porn" while they're drooling all over their TV's if they see a bed scene or even just a kissing scene in a romcom, and instantly give 10/10 ratings, even if the story is crap!

Madness! What's worse is that people who actually want to see the original version, we can't, because platforms like VIKI follows these idiots, and they only bought the "Kid version", because they don't want to enrage the Fairy Tale fans who still think the prince on the white horse are still real! They want to watch a historical drama, but want to exclude what actually happened!

I don't know what that means but okay.😅

I'm starting this only for Moon Chaewon, but man, I've only seen 22 minute of the 1st episode and I'm already want to throw out my tv. What the actual hell is that scene with the ML and his girlfriend in the hotel room?

I doubt she's gonna have REAL action scenes. Probably it's just running, and she's gonna throw some punches, maybe.

"This ability is first brought up within like the first or second episode, so I feel like it could have been utilized more."

100% agree! I'm pretty sure the writer either forget about or just didn't want to use it anymore because it's too OP. Anyway, if we really want to, we can find loopholes, but I don't think this should be OUR job, the writer should do a better job telling us how the rules working in her show. They never really stated any rules other than the time freeze thing and that's all, basically. So technically they can do anything, and for me, that's just lazy writing, to make your job easier.

"Reading over some more of your reviews you don't hold back/sugar coat things, but you're never cruel or dismissive so, respect."

Nah, I don't do things like that. If I'm really trashing something for real, it's actually hot garbage. I don't think I've ever given a lower score than 3 to anything, not just Kdrama. Even that crap "Twilight" movie series is only 3/10, even tho I hate that series. 😂

I think I only give 1/10 to actual trash movies that you can buy for 1 USD or something. There was a time when I tortured myself with movies like those.😂

Anyway, I'm always fair, even if my wording sometimes can sound like I'm a hater. At least, some people say that. I mean, if you look at my fave actors list, you can find some of their works were rated low as well, so I'm not biased. One of my biggest faves are Park Boyoung and SNSD's Seohyun, yet I rate "Abyss" 4/10 and "Private Lives" 3/10.

I work in this industry as a sound engineer and video editor, so I know how hard to create shows and movies, and I'd say 80% of the time, if something is bad, it's not because of the actors. They're basically puppets. Even in "Lovely Runner", the actors were great, the chemistry was great too. The OST was decent, so if the writing wouldn't've been a bit better, I'd give 7/10 easily. But I still think, 5/10 is not a bad score, because for me, 5-7/10 is pretty much "average" score.

This is my system, btw:

1-2: Terrible, crap, garbage, whatever you wanna call it.
3-4: Bad, or below-average
5-7: Average
8-9: Above average or great
10: Perfect

PS: I fixed my first comment with the Spoiler as well, you're right, if someone read the comments, it's irritating to scroll through the "Wall of Text". 😅

Jesus, the long essay again! Okay, let me answer one by one. 😅

1. This wasn't a big deal for me, but I would appreciate simple information.

2. I'm not talking about the police, I'm talking about the 2 main love interest. I'm pretty sure she couldn't even write a single sentence about the future, but she can tell she's a time-traveler? Makes no sense to me. I'm pretty sure she mentioned the ML that he's gonna die, even tho I don't think she said how. She couldn't mention the name of his band, but she can tell that he's gonna die? Makes no sense. Anyway, let's say, they find a loophole. I still think it's nonsense. They only did this, to make it harder for her to save the guy. I could come up with a better way to handle this. I've seen it multiple times in other shows and movies.

3. It doesn't matter which version of her was in the past or got kidnapped. The police guy, the 2nd ML's father was there, also the ML, and neither of them said a single word. The law don't say the police don't have to tell the family that their kid was kidnapped and almost got killed. The police would tell this in every scenario, especially, because in the worst case her own family could be a culprit as well, so they need to investigate them as well. This was just lazy writing to create more unnecessary drama.

"The only excuse that I personally came up with on why future Sol's acting the way she does toward the end of her time back in college is the built up trauma she is not processing by finding out that surprise the person that you just wanted to help not get depression and self exit is actually constantly being killed because you got off at the wrong stop on a bus and he witnessed a crime against you. (that run on sentence is a lot, but I thought it in one "breath" so it is what it is at this point.)"

Honestly, I don't even know which part of the story are you talking about now. 😅

"The dementia plot point was to express that memories don't just disappear they are still within us waiting to be remembered. Dementia can bring a person in their 80s back to a memory from when they are 5. Memory isn't a linear construct. Memory doesn't just bring back an image of something from the past, it can bring back emotions, scents, touch and taste."

That's cute and all, and it only applies to dementia, not time traveling! Doesn't matter who you are, you can't remember something that NEVER happened before. Sol literally erased herself from other's memory, she changed the original time-line, not just one thing, ergo no one should remember what happened. If her grandma and the ML can remember, the others should too, but they didn't. Again, lazy, inconsistent writing to solve a messy plot fast enough before the finale.

"What the overall take away for me was that...love, and what we experience while in love, is so powerful that even time can't completely erase it, even when our memories get tangled, and you can't pull a perfect image of their face anymore...those impressions still remain a mark on you."

Again, this is only true when we're talking about ONE TIME-LINE, not multiple! The original time-line don't exist anymore, ergo what they felt don't exist either.

It's like when you write the number "3" and you can make to an "8", you won't erase the "3" so it will remain there, and you can remember it, BUT if you remove the "3" and write the "8" from scratch, it's another thing.

"So yeah, a bit of fluffy bullshit, but it resonated with me as my parents get older, and I listen to my father's stories from when he was a child, teen...etc. "

I'm not saying it didn't resonate with me or didn't have a meaningful message, but it doesn't matter how meaningful a story is if it's inconsistent. I can't focus on the message if the way they write it is messy.

"PS: Also side eyeing the crap out of you for that 6 on the OST...bops sir, they are BOPS. 😆"

The songs are good, I only gave 6 OVERALL, because there were like 3 OSTs I can remember, I'm pretty sure I heard the same 3 all season. I mean, other than Eclipse songs, but I didn't like those that much other than the ballad that was written for Sol.

Also, it's not only about the songs, when I rate the music it's about the Score as well. 6/10 is decent, but compared to Legends like Castaway Diva, Hotel del Luna or Mr. Plankton from last year, this show didn't deserve more than a 6 for me.

Honestly, sometimes I felt it was repetitive and the fact that I had many problems with the writing and even the FL, it didn't help to love the songs more.
