Sort of about time travel...still good

There were a couple of minor things that detract. First, there's time travel involved but the characters seem strangely disinterested in the ramifications. Second, there's a deadline with potentially deadly consequence that again the characters largely seem to ignore...even when it gets down to seven days they pretty much futz around with other things. There's some chaebol drama that is unnecessary as well. In short, this is not really about time travel.

The rest of it is mostly light and fun with just enough drama for variety. Lee Re is particularly funny in many scenes and is well paired with Choi Kang Hee in the older role.

Saved by Veronica

The main story is nonsense that requires not only a suspension of belief (which is fine) but a complete disregard for consistency and logic anywhere. I mean there's an attempted murder, the driver is nosing around in the office with a lame excuse (which the FL defying all logic piles on in support), FL finds a mysterious file on her computer, then there's a break-in. You'd think there would be some suspense and tension or least like trying to put this all together - but no - the main characters bump along largely oblivious to anything. These crimes play into a secondary robninhoodish plot that rather than being revealed slowly will just kind of be dumped into a later episode. Oh yeah, the sometimes floating apparently sentient moss balls would be stupid in 99% of dramas but somehow fit in here. Don't get me wrong they're still stupid, but they fit in.

Despite all that it manages to be entertaining if you don't pay close attention unless Kim JaeKyung is on screen as Veronica Park completely stealing every scene she's in. The Veronica Park character seems whack in the beginning but as the show progresses it's obvious she's everything that everyone else is not. Smart, communicates succinctly and honestly and actually helps those that make up the clown show around her progress with there lives.
