The only thing that comes to mind: Frustration; and boy did this show frustrate me!
I really struggled to keep up with all the Paranormal turns and twists, and friends I talked to about it was also having trouble grasping the plot.
Choong Hoon told to him that he was taken by time so his life can be saved… … save from what? ¯\_(?)_/¯
Park Min Young was great in this drama but that doesn't justify you having to sit through 20 episode of this Fringe/Time Travel/Paranormal mess.

Yes, the story is simple and you want to root for the heroine (the show does a great job at that) but some parts are dragging and you feel like fast forwarding a lot of scenes.
For me, Daniel Choi completely stole the show! I will look for more dramas with him now. He made me laugh throughout the whole series. Jang Nara wasn’t bad either.
I would gladly re-watch all the scenes where Daniel is a goofball to lift up my mood.

The story was fresh and new, I liked the actors and the overall pace. Would I re-watch it again? maybe some parts I really enjoyed but probably not the whole thing.
The scheduler and rules of this drama were very well crafted and you could see how they affected not only the defunct lady but family/friends around her.
Time flies, and the message (I believe) is to not overthink things too much and live life to the fullest while you still can, because regret can be a horrible feeling.

Great message overall and feel good drama with no angst. Having said that, the last 2 episodes frustrated me at some parts. I had absolutely zero emotional stake in SooAh or that creepy sunbae from the beginning. I regret that we had to sit through such waste of valuable screen time to watch the redemption of SooAh (really?) and feel a bit robbed of more cute moments with the lead couple or KS’s time with sister or mom. MiRae's family (especially dad) I would have liked to see a lot more of.
Hyun Jung was also in my opinion not developed enough, she's the friend that always stood by MiRae, old or new face. I think she deserved a lot more screen than SooAh for example.

I understand that this drama is not mainstream and there is enough things which one could find confusing or irritating but to me, getting past that and focusing on the positives, I did.
The medical and surgeries bit was very well done, the backstories of each character were interesting and the unwavering love between the leads carried the drama.
Looking at popular opinions, I know this drama is not supposed to be a drama one will like, but I loved it and when something appeals to your heart, you do not need to have a reason.

A little above average
I went into this show not really knowing what to expect and wasn't really disappointed as I had no real anticipation. It was a solid 6/10. It could have been better but they dropped the ball so many times.It's also an insult to the real triads (yes I know it's not real)... and there was such a lack of action/fights... the ones that were on-screen were just average. No real character gripped me, I had a nice superficial time.
The positive thing is that it was short, and couldn't care less if there is a sequel. I'll watch it, but that's it

Do yourself a favor and Skip this
I loved the synopsis, I mean, time travel, alternate universes... that's what I signed up for and it started so well...1. It could have been wrapped up in 10 episodes
2. There is ZERO time travel
3. The story is way too complex for what could have been a great Rom-Com
4. What's with the hair/makeup? how does this fit in?
It's too bad because I liked the start, the actors were good but the story lost me, and the ending was also a letdown.
Very disappointed having invested 22+ hours into this mess

Such a letdown at the end....
I read all the reviews that said this was good until episode 17, well, it was correct !!While the story was "ok", I mean nothing really spectacular... the actors and their chemistry/ dynamics really carried this drama.
I love everything "Food" related and this in parts did not disappoint, but to be honest, this whole drama could have been shot in 12 episodes. Many episodes dragged and I had to fight not to fast forward through it.
You get good doses of noble idiocy which completely ruins the final episodes. Instead of feeling good, smile and enjoy you get annoyed, sad and confused... not the best of feelings when watching something that was so quirky in the beginning.
Can't give this more than 7 (although it really is a 6)

A great time
Didn't know what to expect as I did not read anything about this drama beforehand and I was happily surprised, the 10 episodes were just perfect. Not too long and just enough to tell the story. Nothing really angsty or dramatic happens here, it's all very lighthearted and cute with an ending triple bow-tied and satisfying.Actors were good and I found myself really enjoying the leads as well as a lot of other supporting casts. Well done

Not bad but I expected better
Sweet home was a lot more than I expected, and a lot less at the same time!I was expecting this to be a character based drama and I got a lot more action than I was expecting, and I loved it! Having said that, there were a lot of things they rushed, forgot or just decided to not talk about.
The story, while a 10/10 is nothing new, good Vs Evil, survival horror... we've seen this before. Human behavior in a fight-or-flight situation, how malicious people can be to survive = nothing new there. Cliffhangers at the end of episodes weren't even that angsty, but there is something about this drama that draws you in, gets you to want to watch the next episode!
I hope they can maintain this level for the second season

Not a bad drama
I'm glad I did not let the negative reviewed sway me into giving this drama a pass.It's a good time, even without alcohol (joking).
The story was ok, leads also, and it's an easy watch without too much angst because even if some cliffhangers are nicely done, you can guess not much will really happen and no one is in real danger.
The romance was ok and it was all due to the ML and FL chemistry.
Thinking back, I think the story was told wrong, the back and forth in time was not made at the right time (or in the right episodes) so you start to understand the vision a bit later (I would have liked them to set up the premise and everything right from episode 1). Spend more time in Joseon instead of filling with some below-average side plots that were useless if I'm honest.
Still a good watch, but no rewatch value

A nice time, no alcohol required
This could have easily been a 10, but the whole message was a little of a letdown.I liked the actors, the story was good (not great) and they did an awesome job with the visuals. I think this will resonate with a lot of people in a world of internet stars and wannabe influencers, but what exactly was the real message here? or have I missed it?
I don't regret watching this drama, we enjoyed ourselves marathoning it in 2 days. Would I watch it again? not entirely but some parts were really good and I might give them another look in the future

This could have been so much better.... but a letdown in the end
I really liked the synopsis on Netflix and decided to give it a go. Didn't ready anything about the drama beforehand, no reviews, no comments... took a dive right in.I really enjoyed myself, this is a good time drama about love, friendship, the importance of family and that sometimes the good guys win.
OK, I concede that there isn't really a lot of drama here, no real angst, people stay in their lane and you can feel nothing bad or too dangerous is going to happen, in other words, a relaxed and good time.
Spoiled by a rushed ending that wasn't all that satisfying (to me anyways). When I invest 16 full hours into a drama, I don't want anything left to chance, I want my stories (main and side) wrapped up (positive or negative). Is that really too much to ask? I'm not asking for pink bow-tied rainbow endings, but a thorough last episode. This Drama did not give us that, leaving me hungry for more.
As a result, I deducted a full point.

A nice time
I see all the negative reviews and can't help but chuckle. What did you think you would get going into this drama?I was clear from the get go: I wanted a nice, not too deep, romantic series in a school environment. And that's exactly what I got.
Could they have wrapped up in 8 episodes? YES but they still managed to keep me pretty invested until the end. Are there things I did not like? SURE, but they did not spoil the drama for me.
If you liked My ID is Gangnam beauty, you will like this as well and should not pass it up.

Bad on all fronts
First, the story isn't for everyone. I did not like the underage aspect of it and my distaste started there.But this is a Rescue+revenge movie so let's see how it plays out right?
Wrong. Everything is made to "look" real but it isn't, overacted, exaggerated, forced and lame combat scenes. Very disappointing action (and acting).
Most of all, she didn't even beat the girls who started it all.
I did not think I would ever find a Korean piece (Movie or Drama) that could be worse than Forecast love and weather, well look no further: This is my new low and I was generous giving it a 2.
While I absolutely LOVED the short series "Little Girl K", I thought this would be somewhat similar: I was wrong.
