morning star
I rarely shed tears when watching dramas, but I already sink on the 1st ep. ;(
The story itself is quite tragic, yet the drama leads us to something more touching rather than sad.. The characters are very strong, including the supporting roles.
This is more of a slice of life drama, following the story of the murderer, the victim, and how the incident affects the people around them..
Romance between the victim's brother and the murderer's sister makes the story beautiful. Eita is a very great actor, portrayed an introvert guy drench in guilt, and how he changed from a useless guy with non-attractive appearance to a clean-cut man, haha.. This is the first time I watch the female lead's acting, and I'm quite impressed with how she can easily shed tears in every moment :)
Overall this is a must-watched drama for them who likes drama about life and about moving on from a tragic past.. Excellent story!

The synopsis of this movie is really awful and cliche at first when I got this movie. I decided to try since I've read many good reviews about this drama. All I can say is It will be a HUGE mistake to just passed this! This story had somewhat the same hurtfull feeling as 'I'm sorry I love You'. The same love and hatred (different problem tough),,
Soooo many touching moments. Soong Ki's act is superb, We can feel his sadness, regretful feeling, happiness, and love... Eun Gi's character is interesting too, since her stubborn way is lovely, hahaha..not exactly your typical nice, cute, and sweet main female lead :)
All of the characters are shining with their own style of acts. I cannot hate Jae hee or her die-hard antagonist man either,, and the highlight of the story is when Eun Gi finally remember our Mr. Nice Guy's (aka Ma Roo) true intention and he also realize that she already 'awake', he just stay calm and surrender. That's when our fake Mr. Nice Guy really turn into Nice Guy..

Rebuilding old-business AND LOVE
I finally finish watching this drama...!!! For 40 episodes, this drama pace is build so well u would not realize starting it and finish it in an instant!What I love about this drama;
- Story development ; It's business based but It's actually not that hard to swallow, we even drawn to the rebuilt of Teng Yue, what Jiang Hu feels towards the growth of Teng Yue, we cheered too as if Teng Yue is our son...!
- Character development ; everyone has flaws, yet they learn how to cope with their mistake, some characters are drawn as egoistic character - esp SFL, but it's just shows that all the actors & actress are so great at portraying their characters, EVEN the support actors & actress acts so well!
- Romance ; Slowburn BUT it's worth the wait, even the process of their romance development is so cute, funny, romantic, and even when towards the end their relationship has been shaken hard, the reconciliation also nice to watch, it really plays with our emotions... Xu Si's love to Jiang Hu is so beautiful, we can see his cute approach to Jiang Hu at the middle of the story, but then we realize that his love to Jiang Hu is too big that he's willing to let go all that he had to keep Teng Yue that Jiang Hu loves so much!
- Music ; it even has (g)i-dle's Yuqi & Ju Jing Yi singing too! And Wu Xuan Yi's voice is so beautiful,,, All the OSTs are top notch, even the lyrics can convey the character's feeling thoroughly, and the music sounds nice!
- Not much fillers ; I even don't feel the need to rise up the speed to fully enjoy it, not like other dramas I skip & speed up on some parts because it's not too interesting, but I never find It when I watch RWTW, I watch it in normal speed & it means that the drama is really great!
- Cinematography ; just like old style Teng Yue, the drama color tone also has beautiful grading color it fits the old style Teng Yue so much! No its not that old-yellowish tone but instead a bluish old tone, I find it so beautiful!
I fall in love with Xu Si & Jiang Hu, this is definitely the best 2023 drama for me! This drama is truly amazing & I love it so much... Thank u director & teams... This drama is so good it enlightened me in a new way... Goodbye Xu Si, Goodbye Jiang Hu, Goodbye Teng Yue... You all will be missed...

I acknowledge Kim Ji Won from this movie. I really like her character as Rachel on first several episodes,,but her character didn't get enough space to grow, unfortunately.. And she has cute bangs, kinda reminds me to chiaki kuriyama and Joo Young of After school group, and much cuter than the main role (sorry Eun Sang fans..)
The chemistry of the three main roles are quite good. I'm a bit fall in love with Young Do. He could be easily loveable on another teen story with that loner and meddlesome character, but the script is not on his side,,

Don't hesitate to watch this drama!
Derailment was promoted as a fantasy, mistery, romance genre but turns out It's more of a HEALING drama, the way I feel all their pains & then cherish their every touching moments... 🥲I really love all their relationship, Qi Lian, Jiang Xiao Yuan, Xu Jin Yang, Jiang Bo 🥲❤️
What I love from Derailment is the fact that Qi Lian & Xiao Yuan's relationship has no thirdwheel, the problem is not some kind of 'stupid misunderstanding', but more of building trust, overcome mental matters, & reunite stronger than ever!
What I wish they could do with this drama:
✅️ Decrease Xiaoyuan's work story & change to their sweet flashback story instead (it deserves at least 7 episodes, not 2-3 only)
✅️ Add more mistery & thriller elements (u will know it's that good when u see Huo Boyu!)
✅️ Reveal the last plot twist for the last 2 ep to keep the excitement
✅️ Make a plot twist at the last episode, but I wish it will still a clear HE just like now!
But whatever the minus from this drama is, I still think that the rating is still too low for the drama,, Be real now, there are soooo many worse boring drama get better rating I'm in pain seeing the rating!
Positive things about this drama:
✅️ Quite many plot twist
✅️ Thriller scenes are quite good too (Huo BoYu acting is superb!)
✅️ Slowburn romance but so many memorable sweet romance scenes
✅️ Excellent FL acting, I mean, very very very excellent!
All of this reason is enough to enjoy this drama to it's fullest, so don't hesitate watching this drama without thinking too much about other opinions...!
I will personally add tags for the genre: #sliceoflife #healingdrama

Cliche but Cliche at best!
This drama is so good...!!!Story is a bit cliche but they make the best of it!
At first, I fall in love with the FL, I think she's one of the coolest FL I ever watched! She's so sly but actually fit her role as ceo..?! I love her styling that changed from cool to warmer style during her (also) changing character! But then the more episode comes, I just found that the ML is one of the most green flag ML ever, & he deserves the love! I wasnt really into his character at the beginning, but who knows that he's just a sincere guy we all need...! He's the type of man who is just a good man trying to live his life as a noble person! No more red flag boy I'm bored, It's green flag man era! ❤️❤️❤️

Character development is good
Romance is very very good!!! Quite satisfied with the amount of romance in it!
Story filler is not too much story quite on point, I just make 2x speed for few scenes only, not much skipped scenes
ML's feeling to FL looks so sincere, I can feel my heart beats faster everytime they had romance scenes 😳
- - -
Some stupid scenes they can do better
Some bad editing, I find the revealing of some background stories feels a bit rough, they can make it more captivating but yeah, its still bearable
Conclusion;
Dont read too much negative reviews about this drama... Believe me this story is much better than some series with the same rating! You will love it!
