Abandoning logic to keep the plane from crashing when it's your only parachute

A fantasy, romance drama with a slight crime twist to it and some comedic elements.

This contains
- An awkward female lead with the ability to foresee the future in her dreams
- Your typical arrogant, handsome male lead who will be the boyfriend against all odds.
- A handsome, second male lead
- Your typical love triangle
- Potential murders, crimes and accidents
- Some blood, and graphic scenes. (On a light level)
- The unraveling of a past secret
- Interesting and creative plot twist.
- Refreshing comedy
- Hand holding investigations

Personally, I think the writers got a bit too excited in creating the origin of her powers. The story didn't really make sense to me and it was almost falling apart with plot holes.

I also think that the pace was awkward at times. Characters would have their personality or relationship change in a very sudden and uncomfortable way, which made everything feel a bit out of the blue and unrealistic. On top of that I found them a bit dull and hard to love. This could be a side affect from some of the actors not performing very well.

The pace was a bit too slow for my personal taste.

There were some major medical misses that should have gotten more attention.

RECOMMEND

If you tend to analyze dramas and movies, are easily bothered by production or writing mistakes, recognize good and bad acting, like to play sherlock while watching crime and have strong preferences, this is probably not for you.

instead I'd recommend this drama to those who want to spice up their every day comedy romance dramas or too those who started watching Korean dramas recently. This is because the drama introduces many tags without going in too deep on any of them. The romance, comedy, crime, law and graphics are all light and the plot is not too deep or difficult to like while it stays interesting and fresh to new viewers.

ENJOY!!
