Do you know how rare it is for women to pass the firefighting requirements? It is one of the hardest qualification tests in the world. And for good reason too.

Song Yan has serious abandonment issues and its spilling over into work with his rigid work ethic. It's made him a high achiever because he always has something he has to prove. His overachievement is a mask for his fear that he is never going to be good enough to be approved by the people that matter to him. He is still smarting and resentful about what Xu Qin and family did to him. The fact that he takes everything so personally tells me that he's still hurting. Even Suo Jun's relocation becomes a matter of betrayal because he has made firefighting his life and family.

Frankly no woman should be dating this guy at this point -- he has far too much baggage and is bound to blow up some time.

Ugh. The trailer to that adaptation was enough to kill any interest I had in it.
Austen depicts her FLs all differently for a reason but all these agenda driven remakes can't think outside the box.

I agree with the Persuasion analogy.

I'm just here for the hot sweaty men in uniform... the Romeo and Juliet soap opera stuff... I can take it or leave it.

The thing I really like about this writer and why I have so much respect for her projects is the fact that she respects her audience. The way she manages to blend the supernatural with the police procedural and yet grounded in history is a gift.

The plotting here is so far quite masterful. Hope it stays that way. I am so tired of K drama plots going nowhere.

Oh Jung-se has played villains quite a few times now and done it superbly.

This is honestly terrific. It should be a lot more popular. Goes from strength to strength. I don't remember the last time I saw Oh Jung-sae play a straight up conventional male lead. Apart from the fact that he sees ghosts, he's a pretty down-to-earth decent human being. :D

It's fascinating and I find his dynamic with Kim Tae-ri similar to the one between the My Perfect Stranger leads.

I notice some comments down the feed saying this is scary but honestly it's like watching The Sixth Sense. To me it's just a lot of creepy music with people walking around with bad makeup.

Wow... this is good. Excellent actually. Reminds me a tad of the US tv series Grimm while incorporating K sensibilities and social issues.

It's a lovely drama. Does everything right as far as I'm concerned.

This is such a beautiful drama about grief and the inability of those who are left behind to move on because memories can have such a powerful effect on trauma -- that debilitating imprisoning effect.

What this show does it does so well.

My daughter who has read the webtoon in its entirety told me that I should watch this drama and so out of curiosity. I did. Surprise. Surprise. I really like the first three episodes. It's very rare that I'm sold on a drama right off the bat but I was with this one. I think I know why they picked Ahn Bo-hyun for the lead role. He projects that "lost boy" vibe quite well. Very similar to his role in Kairos.
I'm really enjoying the interactions between the leads.

My favourite character by the end has to be Aziz. He's a wonderful addition.

I'm glad I persisted past the first two episodes. This is probably the best rom com I've seen a while. It does a really good job of blending the romance and the office hijinks while twisting the beats and subverting expectations.

Mostly the latter.

This is my problem with the first couple of episodes and almost put me off the show entirely. But once you get towards the end of the fourth episode, it does get better.

I'm glad I persevered. As a time travel police procedural it was so-so and derivative. More of a MacGuffin really. The serial killer's motives were somewhat anticlimactic -- shoehorned to fit in with the show's primary themes. As a second-chance family healing drama, however, it was pretty good. The show would probably have benefitted from a lower episode count and tighter storytelling. The pacing is inconsistent punctuated by long stretches of talky moments that could be trimmed. Although I think the leads did have some chemistry (and were good in their roles), I don't think they were well-directed in the romance department.

Overall I enjoyed it. More entertaining than many of the popular dramas that I've seen this year.

I've done 3 episodes but boy, already this feels like a poor distant cousin of Back to the Future, Tunnel, 365 and the K version of Life on Mars (All far superior stories). I don't really like it when characters who find themselves in a different dimension or era act like they know exactly what's going on and bumble around turning over rocks without any circumspection. I don't like that kind of writing. It just breaks immersion.

Will persevere for one more episode.

It's rather over praised to my mind.

Personally, from my perspective, you're right on the money with your comments. This show has a lot of problems with its messaging because the script isn't properly thought through and it lacks cohesion. It lacks depth which is why everything feels inconsequential.
Honestly, even if you don't end up finishing this, you're not missing a whole lot. The actors put in great performances but the storytelling is mediocre at best.

I really enjoyed this one. Reminds me of a good old fashion 80s or 90s action flick. Lee Jun-hyuk was effectively villainous in this.

Well, that's not true actually. The revenge is a really big part of the show. It is the rationale behind just about everything that goes bad in the show. And of course all the noble idiocy that ensues. In fact the trial is the culmination of said revenge plan. That's why the way it plays out has to be done properly because of all the build up that came before.
