This is what I wanted Never Ending Summer (cdrama) to be.

This drama should have been more than what ended up being. First time watching ML and he was excellent. Angst well done.
But this is an example of good actors, good chemistry, excellent ost wasted on the most ridiculous plotline. Ended up ffwding so much of the last 3rd of the show when the 1/3 was soo good.

Just finished the drama and you put my feelings about this show aptly. All that angst and the pay off was not done properly imo. Also the break up was ridiculous and the ML forcing her to his house as his "special assistant" pissed me off to another level. Ridiculous plotline really ruined this show.

Thank you so much!!

Hi would you mind sharing where you read the novel?

Dont know if you have watched Lee Min Ho's City Hunter as it is an older show but I remember it being pretty good for action and romance. Also loved the chemistry in Happiness but that one has zombies.

if you are okay with zombies then I think Happiness maybe comparable and the leads had good chemistry but I think ending could have been better--still happy ending though

Have you already watched Happiness (k drama)?

YES! the beginning was well done and I wish the ending outmatched that.

Yes, I was hoping that they could ask the police for something more substantial that they can then remind them of the next time. But that never happened so the set up seems wasted.
Some plotlines took more time when the ending seemed rushed. Also took so long on the cat guy story, felt like that could have been shorted. Agree that I don't see this as a 9 but that's bec I rarely find shows are a 9 and for me that would mean I would watch again. This is a 1 time watch.
However, I did rate it 8.5 bec I binge watched it and found the twists and turns interesting.

why was the police lady's ringtone also Canon in D. Felt that should have been a clue but went nowhere.
In the last loop FL and ML was just telling the bus driver to stop again and again. I thought they could have told him about his daughter way before he got his hands on the bomb AGAIN.
thought the number of times they told the cops their time loop story became relevant but it went nowhere.
Why did the police chase the bus each time (at least the last loop they turned off the sirens). How did they not know that the bomber would bomb if they saw the police? Why did they rely on the assumption that bomb would ONLY detonate at 1:45?
Why did the phone ring sometimes? Was the bomber lady carrying her daughter's phone? But the Dad/bus driver had that phone.

Excellent tight plot, fantastic acting by all the characters, and loved the opening music. Binge watched the show in a couple of days and one of the rare showing which I wish was an episode or two longer as things really felt rushed to me int he last 2 episodes but still a good ending. Found FL character to be very impulsive in certain episodes and can see why ML was frustrated but she is young and not everyone knows how to handle a time loop! The characters playing the "villains" were fantastic. ML/FL chemistry was good but not mind blowing to me but that was okay in this story bec I was more invested in the twists and turns. The Middle episodes with the reveal were FANTASTIC and tense.
Few things that needed more explanation below in spoiler

Glad your hospital follows Doctor patient confidentiality 😂 and glad you got entertainment out of it!

ok I am only 2 episodes in and am wondering what every on is going on about bec I dont get this lethal female lead general vibes that everyone is talking about. I thought fated hearts was overrated but at least the FL was pulling off female archer extraordinaire in the start

So far not feeling the FL at all. ML is charismatic. Not sure if I can continue. I dislike whne shows just make the character 'bad ass" but the actor/actress doesnt pull it off.

There is no need to be aggressive. Pls stop forcing others to like this show. You have been patrolling this page like a piranha criticizing anyone who doesn’t like the show. Your explanations do not address the issues. If you had worked one day in an hospital you would know absolutely ridiculous it is to discuss patients before non staff . How doctors need insurance before they can actively practice and can’t just jump in to do so when they want. FL Got a job and was dressed in jeans. That doesn’t happen in real life in the corporate world. Either you are 12 or a rabid fan. Kindly move on with your life.

Agreed. She rejects him and the next day ML is all chipper. I was like even if he is a green flag how is this not phasing you?

Excellent review. Your description of Quantity over Quality is perfect. There is just too much: ML is tooo perfect, villains are way too cartoonish, way too many episodes. Just no serious conflict and tons of episodes. Non stop sweet scenes btw leads do not make a plot.

good call because I had to force myself to finish the second half

I share your sentiment. I cannot believe this whole drama was based on a conflict where FL didnt visit the ML and where FL confessed her love to 2ndML and was left on Read. Literally. Someone thought that was enough to make 36 whole episodes.
